# **Llama 2 7B Chat 4-bit**
Llama 2 is a collection of pretrained and fine-tuned generative text models ranging in scale from 7 billion to 70 billion parameters. This is the repository for the 7B fine-tuned model, in `npz` format suitable for use in Apple's MLX framework.
Weights have been converted to `float16` from the original `bfloat16` type, because `numpy` is not compatible with `bfloat16` out of the box.
How to use with [MLX](https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx).
```bash
# Install mlx, mlx-examples, huggingface-cli
pip install mlx
pip install huggingface_hub hf_transfer
git clone https://github.com/ml-explore/mlx-examples.git
# Download model
export HF_HUB_ENABLE_HF_TRANSFER=1
huggingface-cli download --local-dir Llama-2-7b-chat-mlx/ mlx-community/Llama-2-7b-chat-4-bit
# Run example
python mlx-examples/llms/llama/llama.py --prompt "My name is " --model-path Llama-2-7b-chat-mlx/
```
