Meta's LLaMA 7b GGML
These files are GGML format model files for Meta's LLaMA 7b.
GGML files are for CPU + GPU inference using llama.cpp and libraries and UIs which support this format, such as:
- KoboldCpp, a powerful GGML web UI with full GPU acceleration out of the box. Especially good for story telling.
- LoLLMS Web UI, a great web UI with GPU acceleration via the c_transformers backend.
- LM Studio, a fully featured local GUI. Supports full GPU accel on macOS. Also supports Windows, without GPU accel.
- text-generation-webui, the most popular web UI. Requires extra steps to enable GPU accel via llama.cpp backend.
- ctransformers, a Python library with LangChain support and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
- llama-cpp-python, a Python library with OpenAI-compatible API server.
These files were quantised using hardware kindly provided by Latitude.sh.
Repositories available
- GPTQ models for GPU inference, with multiple quantisation parameter options.
- 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8-bit GGML models for CPU+GPU inference
- Unquantised fp16 model in pytorch format, for GPU inference and for further conversions

Compatibility
Original llama.cpp quant methods: q4_0, q4_1, q5_0, q5_1, q8_0
These are guaranteed to be compatible with any UIs, tools and libraries released since late May. They may be phased out soon, as they are largely superseded by the new k-quant methods.
New k-quant methods: q2_K, q3_K_S, q3_K_M, q3_K_L, q4_K_S, q4_K_M, q5_K_S, q6_K
These new quantisation methods are compatible with llama.cpp as of June 6th, commit 2d43387.
They are now also compatible with recent releases of text-generation-webui, KoboldCpp, llama-cpp-python, ctransformers, rustformers and most others. For compatibility with other tools and libraries, please check their documentation.
Explanation of the new k-quant methods
Click to see details
The new methods available are:
- GGML_TYPE_Q2_K - "type-1" 2-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weight. Block scales and mins are quantized with 4 bits. This ends up effectively using 2.5625 bits per weight (bpw)
- GGML_TYPE_Q3_K - "type-0" 3-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 6 bits. This end up using 3.4375 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q4_K - "type-1" 4-bit quantization in super-blocks containing 8 blocks, each block having 32 weights. Scales and mins are quantized with 6 bits. This ends up using 4.5 bpw.
- GGML_TYPE_Q5_K - "type-1" 5-bit quantization. Same super-block structure as GGML_TYPE_Q4_K resulting in 5.5 bpw
- GGML_TYPE_Q6_K - "type-0" 6-bit quantization. Super-blocks with 16 blocks, each block having 16 weights. Scales are quantized with 8 bits. This ends up using 6.5625 bpw
- GGML_TYPE_Q8_K - "type-0" 8-bit quantization. Only used for quantizing intermediate results. The difference to the existing Q8_0 is that the block size is 256. All 2-6 bit dot products are implemented for this quantization type.

Note: the above RAM figures assume no GPU offloading. If layers are offloaded to the GPU, this will reduce RAM usage and use VRAM instead.
How to run in llama.cpp
I use the following command line; adjust for your tastes and needs:
./main -t 10 -ngl 32 -m llama-7b.ggmlv3.q4_0.bin --color -c 2048 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "### Instruction: Write a story about llamas\n### Response:"
Change -t 10 to the number of physical CPU cores you have. For example if your system has 8 cores/16 threads, use -t 8.
Change -ngl 32 to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Remove it if you don't have GPU acceleration.
If you want to have a chat-style conversation, replace the -p <PROMPT> argument with -i -ins
