title: Using LLaMA.cpp

order: 2

You can find the full llama.cpp documentation here.

Step 1 - Clone the repo

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

Step 2 - Download the model

For example, we will use OpenChat 3.5 model, which is what is used on the demo instance. There are many models to choose from.

Navigate to TheBloke/openchat_3.5-GGUF and download one of the models, such as openchat_3.5.Q5_K_M.gguf. Place this file inside the ./models directory.

Step 3 - Build the server

make llama-server

Step 4 - Run the server

Read the llama.cpp documentation for more information on the server options. Or run ./server --help.

./llama-server -t 4 -c 4096 -ngl 35 -b 512 --mlock -m models/openchat_3.5.Q5_K_M.gguf

Step 5 - Enable the server in the client
