The CodeLlama 70B Instruct model is a powerful tool in the realm of artificial intelligence, specifically designed for general code synthesis and understanding. Below, I’ll guide you step-by-step on how to effectively download, run, and troubleshoot this model, while keeping things user-friendly!

What is CodeLlama 70B Instruct?

CodeLlama 70B Instruct is built upon a 70 billion parameter framework that helps generate and understand programming code. It comes with files in GGUF format, which allow for extended flexibility and performance. Think of it as a highly skilled assistant in a coding workshop, ready to lend a hand at a moment’s notice.

How to Download GGUF Files

Downloading the necessary GGUF files is a crucial first step. Follow these steps to make sure you get what you need!

• Use the clients or libraries that facilitate automatic downloads:
• LM Studio
• LoLLMS Web UI
• Faraday.dev
• For command line users, you can use the huggingface-hub library to download specific files with high speed:

pip3 install huggingface-hub

Then use the command:

huggingface-cli download TheBloke/CodeLlama-70B-Instruct-GGUF codellama-70b-instruct.Q4_K_M.gguf --local-dir . --local-dir-use-symlinks False

How to Run the Model

Once you’ve downloaded the model files, you’ll want to get it up and running. It’s akin to starting your engine after assembling your dream car. Here’s how to fire it up:

Through Command Line:

main -ngl 35 -m codellama-70b-instruct.Q4_K_M.gguf --color -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n -1 -p "Source: system... "

You can adjust the number of layers to offload to your GPU by changing -ngl. The parameters -c and -p let you specify the desired sequence length and prompt, respectively.

Using Python:

from llama_cpp import Llama

llm = Llama(
    model_path="./codellama-70b-instruct.Q4_K_M.gguf",
    n_ctx=4096,
    n_threads=8,
    n_gpu_layers=35
)
output = llm("Source: system... ")

Understanding GGUF Format

GGUF is a new model format introduced for improved performance. It is like the new highway system for your model, designed to carry more traffic (data) efficiently. Always ensure compatibility with your existing libraries or clients by checking the GGUF version!

Troubleshooting Tips

Running into issues? Fear not, as here are some common troubleshooting ideas:

• Ensure that you have the correct version of llama.cpp (from August 27th, 2023, or later).
• If you experience high memory usage, consider selecting a lower quantisation parameter when downloading the model.
• Check for compatibility with the various libraries by referencing the list provided in the documentation.
