Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:
1) Select a domain name and web hosting plan
2) Complete a sitemap
3) List your products
4) Write product descriptions
5) Create a user account
6) Build the template
7) Start building the website
8) Advertise the website
9) Provide email support
10) Submit the website to search engines
A website is a collection of web pages that are formatted with HTML. HTML is the code that defines what the website looks like and how it behaves.
The HTML code is formatted into a template or a format. Once this is done, it is displayed on the user's browser.
The web pages are stored in a web server. The web server is also called a host. When the website is accessed, it is retrieved from the server and displayed on the user's computer.
A website is known as a website when it is hosted. This means that it is displayed on a host. The host is usually a web server.
A website can be displayed on different browsers. The browsers are basically the software that renders the website on the user's screen.
A website can also be viewed on different devices such as desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Hence, to have a website displayed on a browser, the website must be hosted.
A domain name is an address of a website. It is the name of the website.

Building the program with BLAS support may lead to some performance improvements in prompt processing using batch sizes higher than 32 (the default is 512). BLAS doesn't affect the normal generation performance. There are currently three different implementations of it:
- Accelerate Framework:
This is only available on Mac PCs and it's enabled by default. You can just build using the normal instructions.
- OpenBLAS:
This provides BLAS acceleration using only the CPU. Make sure to have OpenBLAS installed on your machine.
- Using `make`:
- On Linux:
```bash
make LLAMA_OPENBLAS=1
```
- On Windows:
1. Download the latest fortran version of [w64devkit](https://github.com/skeeto/w64devkit/releases).
2. Download the latest version of [OpenBLAS for Windows](https://github.com/xianyi/OpenBLAS/releases).
3. Extract `w64devkit` on your pc.
4. From the OpenBLAS zip that you just downloaded copy `libopenblas.a`, located inside the `lib` folder, inside `w64devkit\x86_64-w64-mingw32\lib`.
5. From the same OpenBLAS zip copy the content of the `include` folder inside `w64devkit\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include`.
6. Run `w64devkit.exe`.
7. Use the `cd` command to reach the `llama.cpp` folder.
By default, `LLAMA_BLAS_VENDOR` is set to `Generic`, so if you already sourced intel environment script and assign `-DLLAMA_BLAS=ON` in cmake, the mkl version of Blas will automatically been selected. You may also specify it by:
This provides BLAS acceleration using the CUDA cores of your Nvidia GPU. Make sure to have the CUDA toolkit installed. You can download it from your Linux distro's package manager or from here: [CUDA Toolkit](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads).
Note: Because llama.cpp uses multiple CUDA streams for matrix multiplication results [are not guaranteed to be reproducible](https://docs.nvidia.com/cuda/cublas/index.html#results-reproducibility). If you need reproducibility, set `GGML_CUDA_MAX_STREAMS` in the file `ggml-cuda.cu` to 1.
As the models are currently fully loaded into memory, you will need adequate disk space to save them and sufficient RAM to load them. At the moment, memory and disk requirements are the same.
You can use the `perplexity` example 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).
The perplexity measurements in table above are done against the `wikitext2` test dataset (https://paperswithcode.com/dataset/wikitext-2), with context length of 512.
The time per token is measured on a MacBook M1 Pro 32GB RAM using 4 and 8 threads.
In this mode, you can always interrupt generation by pressing Ctrl+C and entering one or more lines of text, which will be converted into tokens and appended to the current context. You can also specify a *reverse prompt* with the parameter `-r "reverse prompt string"`. This will result in user input being prompted whenever the exact tokens of the reverse prompt string are encountered in the generation. A typical use is to use a prompt that makes LLaMa emulate a chat between multiple users, say Alice and Bob, and pass `-r "Alice:"`.
Note the use of `--color` to distinguish between user input and generated text. Other parameters are explained in more detail in the [README](examples/main/README.md) for the `main` example program.
The prompt, user inputs, and model generations can be saved and resumed across calls to `./main` by leveraging `--prompt-cache` and `--prompt-cache-all`. The `./examples/chat-persistent.sh` script demonstrates this with support for long-running, resumable chat sessions. To use this example, you must provide a file to cache the initial chat prompt and a directory to save the chat session, and may optionally provide the same variables as `chat-13B.sh`. The same prompt cache can be reused for new chat sessions. Note that both prompt cache and chat directory are tied to the initial prompt (`PROMPT_TEMPLATE`) and the model file.

> What is the most common way of transportation in Amsterdam?
The majority (54%) are using public transit. This includes buses, trams and metros with over 100 lines throughout the city which make it very accessible for tourists to navigate around town as well as locals who commute by tram or metro on a daily basis
- Obtain the [LLaMA weights](#obtaining-the-facebook-llama-original-model-and-stanford-alpaca-model-data)
- Obtain the [Pygmalion 7B](https://huggingface.co/PygmalionAI/pygmalion-7b/) or [Metharme 7B](https://huggingface.co/PygmalionAI/metharme-7b) XOR encoded weights
- Convert the LLaMA model with [the latest HF convert script](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/blob/main/src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py)
- Merge the XOR files with the converted LLaMA weights by running the [xor_codec](https://huggingface.co/PygmalionAI/pygmalion-7b/blob/main/xor_codec.py) script
- Convert to `ggml` format using the `convert.py` script in this repo:
```bash
python3 convert.py pygmalion-7b/ --outtype q4_1
```
> The Pygmalion 7B & Metharme 7B weights are saved in [bfloat16](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bfloat16_floating-point_format) precision. If you wish to convert to `ggml` without quantizating, please specify the `--outtype` as `f32` instead of `f16`.
- **Under no circumstances should IPFS, magnet links, or any other links to model downloads be shared anywhere in this repository, including in issues, discussions, or pull requests. They will be immediately deleted.**
Please verify the [sha256 checksums](SHA256SUMS) of all downloaded model files to confirm that you have the correct model data files before creating an issue relating to your model files.
- The following python script will verify if you have all possible latest files in your self-installed `./models` subdirectory:
- On linux or macOS it is also possible to run the following commands to verify if you have all possible latest files in your self-installed `./models` subdirectory:
If your issue is with model generation quality, then please at least scan the following links and papers to understand the limitations of LLaMA models. This is especially important when choosing an appropriate model size and appreciating both the significant and subtle differences between LLaMA models and ChatGPT:
We have two Docker images available for this project:
1.`ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full`: This image includes both the main executable file and the tools to convert LLaMA models into ggml and convert into 4-bit quantization.
2.`ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light`: This image only includes the main executable file.
#### Usage
The easiest way to download the models, convert them to ggml and optimize them is with the --all-in-one command which includes the full docker image.
docker run -v /path/to/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:full --run -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512
docker run -v /path/to/models:/models ghcr.io/ggerganov/llama.cpp:light -m /models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -n 512
- There are no strict rules for the code style, but try to follow the patterns in the code (indentation, spaces, etc.). Vertical alignment makes things more readable and easier to batch edit
