Triangle104/Epos-8b-Q4_K_S-GGUF

This model was converted to GGUF format from P0x0/Epos-8b using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's GGUF-my-repo space. Refer to the original model card for more details on the model.

    Direct Use

Epos-8B is ideal for:

Storytelling: Generate detailed, immersive, and engaging narratives. Dialogue Creation: Create realistic and dynamic character interactions for stories or games.

    How to Get Started with the Model

To run the quantized version of the model, you can use KoboldCPP, which allows you to run quantized GGUF models locally.

    Steps:

Download KoboldCPP. Follow the setup instructions provided in the repository. Download the GGUF variant of Epos-8B from Epos-8B-GGUF. Load the model in KoboldCPP and start generating!

Alternatively, integrate the model directly into your code with the following snippet:

from transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM, AutoTokenizer

tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("P0x0/Epos-8B") model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("P0x0/Epos-8B")

input_text = "Once upon a time in a distant land..." inputs = tokenizer(input_text, return_tensors="pt") outputs = model.generate(**inputs)

print(tokenizer.decode(outputs[0], skip_special_tokens=True))

Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux)

brew install llama.cpp

Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Epos-8b-Q4_K_S-GGUF --hf-file epos-8b-q4_k_s.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

Server:

llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Epos-8b-Q4_K_S-GGUF --hf-file epos-8b-q4_k_s.gguf -c 2048

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

Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp

Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with LLAMA_CURL=1 flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux).

cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make

Step 3: Run inference through the main binary.

./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Epos-8b-Q4_K_S-GGUF --hf-file epos-8b-q4_k_s.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"

or

./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Epos-8b-Q4_K_S-GGUF --hf-file epos-8b-q4_k_s.gguf -c 2048
