# DavidAU/Llama-3-SLERP-8B-Q8_0-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`mlabonne/Llama-3-SLERP-8B`](https://huggingface.co/mlabonne/Llama-3-SLERP-8B) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space.
Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/mlabonne/Llama-3-SLERP-8B) for more details on the model.
## Use with llama.cpp

Install llama.cpp through brew.

```bash
brew install ggerganov/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo DavidAU/Llama-3-SLERP-8B-Q8_0-GGUF --model llama-3-slerp-8b.Q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```

Server:

```bash
llama-server --hf-repo DavidAU/Llama-3-SLERP-8B-Q8_0-GGUF --model llama-3-slerp-8b.Q8_0.gguf -c 2048
