This model was converted to GGUF format from McGill-NLP/Llama-3-8B-Web using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

About GGUF (TheBloke Description)

GGUF is a new format introduced by the llama.cpp team on August 21st 2023. It is a replacement for GGML, which is no longer supported by llama.cpp.

Here is an incomplete list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:

llama.cpp. The source project for GGUF. Offers a CLI and a server option.
text-generation-webui, the most widely used web UI, with many features and powerful extensions. Supports GPU acceleration.
KoboldCpp, a fully featured web UI, with GPU accel across all platforms and GPU architectures. Especially good for story telling.
GPT4All, a free and open source local running GUI, supporting Windows, Linux and macOS with full GPU accel.
LM Studio, an easy-to-use and powerful local GUI for Windows and macOS (Silicon), with GPU acceleration. Linux available, in beta as of 27/11/2023.
LoLLMS Web UI, a great web UI with many interesting and unique features, including a full model library for easy model selection.
Faraday.dev, an attractive and easy to use character-based chat GUI for Windows and macOS (both Silicon and Intel), with GPU acceleration.
llama-cpp-python, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
candle, a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.
ctransformers, a Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server. Note, as of time of writing (November 27th 2023), ctransformers has not been updated in a long time and does not support many recent models.

Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew.

brew install ggerganov/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

llama-cli --hf-repo MoMonir/Llama-3-8B-Web-GGUF --model llama-3-8b-web.Q5_K_M.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server:

llama-server --hf-repo MoMonir/Llama-3-8B-Web-GGUF --model llama-3-8b-web.Q5_K_M.gguf -c 2048

Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the usage steps listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well.

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp &&             cd llama.cpp &&             make &&             ./main -m llama-3-8b-web.Q5_K_M.gguf -n 128
