# NikolayKozloff/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback-Q8_0-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`timpal0l/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback`](https://huggingface.co/timpal0l/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/timpal0l/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback) for more details on the model.
## Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew.

```bash

```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo NikolayKozloff/dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback-Q8_0-GGUF --model dolphin-2.9-llama3-8b-flashback.Q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
