## Building and usage
## Building the project
The main product of this project is the `llama` library. Its C-style interface can be found in [include/llama.h](include/llama.h).
The project also includes many example programs and tools using the `llama` library. The examples range from simple, minimal code snippets to sophisticated sub-projects such as an OpenAI-compatible HTTP server. Possible methods for obtaining the binaries:
- Clone this repository and build locally, see [how to build](./docs/build.md)
- On MacOS or Linux, install `llama.cpp` via [brew, flox or nix](./docs/install.md)
- Use a Docker image, see [documentation for Docker](./docs/docker.md)
- Clone this repository and build locally, see [how to build](docs/build.md)
- On MacOS or Linux, install `llama.cpp` via [brew, flox or nix](docs/install.md)
- Use a Docker image, see [documentation for Docker](docs/docker.md)
- Download pre-built binaries from [releases](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/releases)
### Obtaining and quantizing models

- Use the [Inference Endpoints](https://ui.endpoints.huggingface.co/) to directly host `llama.cpp` in the cloud (more info: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/9669)

### Using the `llama-cli` tool
## [`llama-cli`](examples/main)
Run a basic text completion:
#### A CLI tool for accessing and experimenting with most of `llama.cpp`'s functionality.
```bash
llama-cli -m your_model.gguf -p "I believe the meaning of life is" -n 128
- <details open>
<summary>Run simple text completion</summary>
# Output:
# I believe the meaning of life is to find your own truth and to live in accordance with it. For me, this means being true to myself and following my passions, even if they don't align with societal expectations. I think that's what I love about yoga it's not just a physical practice, but a spiritual one too. It's about connecting with yourself, listening to your inner voice, and honoring your own unique journey.
```
```bash
llama-cli -m model.gguf -p "I believe the meaning of life is" -n 128
See [this page](./examples/main/README.md) for a full list of parameters.

```
### Conversation mode
</details>
Run `llama-cli` in conversation/chat mode by passing the `-cnv` parameter:
- <details>
<summary>Run in conversation mode</summary>
```bash
llama-cli -m your_model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv
```bash
llama-cli -m model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv
# Output:
# > hi, who are you?
# Hi there! I'm your helpful assistant! I'm an AI-powered chatbot designed to assist and provide information to users like you. I'm here to help answer your questions, provide guidance, and offer support on a wide range of topics. I'm a friendly and knowledgeable AI, and I'm always happy to help with anything you need. What's on your mind, and how can I assist you today?
#

# Easy peasy! The answer to 1+1 is... 2!

```
By default, the chat template will be taken from the input model. If you want to use another chat template, pass `--chat-template NAME` as a parameter. See the list of [supported templates](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/wiki/Templates-supported-by-llama_chat_apply_template)
</details>
```bash
llama-cli -m your_model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv --chat-template chatml
```
- <details>
<summary>Run with custom chat template</summary>
You can also use your own template via in-prefix, in-suffix and reverse-prompt parameters:
```bash
# use the "chatml" template
llama-cli -m model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv --chat-template chatml
```bash
llama-cli -m your_model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv --in-prefix 'User: ' --reverse-prompt 'User:'
```
# use a custom template
llama-cli -m model.gguf -p "You are a helpful assistant" -cnv --in-prefix 'User: ' --reverse-prompt 'User:'
```
### Constrained output with grammars
[Supported templates](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/wiki/Templates-supported-by-llama_chat_apply_template)
`llama.cpp` can constrain the output of the model via custom grammars. For example, you can force the model to output only JSON:
</details>
```bash
llama-cli -m your_model.gguf -n 256 --grammar-file grammars/json.gbnf -p 'Request: schedule a call at 8pm; Command:'
```
- <details>
<summary>Constrain the output with a custom grammar</summary>
The `grammars/` folder contains a handful of sample grammars. To write your own, check out the [GBNF Guide](./grammars/README.md).
```bash
llama-cli -m model.gguf -n 256 --grammar-file grammars/json.gbnf -p 'Request: schedule a call at 8pm; Command:'
For authoring more complex JSON grammars, check out https://grammar.intrinsiclabs.ai/
# {"appointmentTime": "8pm", "appointmentDetails": "schedule a a call"}
```
### Web server (`llama-server`)
The [grammars/](grammars/) folder contains a handful of sample grammars. To write your own, check out the [GBNF Guide](grammars/README.md).
The [llama-server](./examples/server/README.md) is a lightweight [OpenAI API](https://github.com/openai/openai-openapi) compatible HTTP server that can be used to serve local models and easily connect them to existing clients.
For authoring more complex JSON grammars, check out https://grammar.intrinsiclabs.ai/
Example usage:
</details>
```bash
llama-server -m your_model.gguf --port 8080
# Basic web UI can be accessed via browser: http://localhost:8080
# Chat completion endpoint: http://localhost:8080/v1/chat/completions
```
## [`llama-server`](examples/server)
### Perplexity (measuring model quality)
#### A lightweight, [OpenAI API](https://github.com/openai/openai-openapi) compatible, HTTP server for serving LLMs.
Use the `llama-perplexity` tool to measure perplexity over a given prompt (lower perplexity is better).
For more information, see [https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/perplexity).
