LLaMA-v2

To convert LLaMA-v2 from the .pth format provided by Meta to transformers format, follow the steps below:

1. cd into your llama folder (the one containing download.sh and the models that you downloaded):

cd llama

2. Clone the transformers library:

git clone 'https://github.com/huggingface/transformers'

3. Create symbolic links from the downloaded folders to names that the conversion script can recognize:

ln -s llama-2-7b 7B
ln -s llama-2-13b 13B

4. Do the conversions:

mkdir llama-2-7b-hf llama-2-13b-hf
python ./transformers/src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py --input_dir . --model_size 7B --output_dir llama-2-7b-hf --safe_serialization true
python ./transformers/src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py --input_dir . --model_size 13B --output_dir llama-2-13b-hf --safe_serialization true

5. Move the output folders inside text-generation-webui/models

6. Have fun
