model2gguf 1.0.0

A tool to convert Hugging Face models to GGUF format and manage Ollama models.

HF to GGUF Converter

A Python package for converting Hugging Face models to GGUF files. This tool simplifies the process of transforming models for compatibility with the GGUF format, streamlining model conversion tasks.

Features

• Convert models from Hugging Face to GGUF format
• Easy-to-use command-line interface
• Supports various output types
• Integrates with Ollama for model creation and execution

Installation

You should have ollama installed in your system: https://ollama.com/

You can install the package from PyPI using pip:

pip install model2gguf

Usage

After installing the package, you can use the model2gguf command to convert models.

Basic Command

To convert a model, use the following command:

model2gguf convert --model_id "huggingface/model-id" --output_file "output_file.gguf"

Command Options

• --model_id: The Hugging Face model ID (e.g., "microsoft/Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct").
• --output_file: The desired output file name for the GGUF file.
• --outtype: The type of output (e.g., q8_0).
• --local_dir: (Optional) The directory to download the model to, or the directory of the pre-downloaded model. If not specified, defaults to the current directory under the folder named : hf_model

Example

Convert the "distilgpt2" model and save the output as distilgpt2.gguf:

model2gguf --model_id "distilgpt2" --output_file "distilgpt2.gguf"

Specify a folder for downloading the model:

model2gguf --model_id "distilgpt2" --output_file "distilgpt2.gguf" --local_dir "models"

Use a pre-downloaded model from a specific folder:

model2gguf --model_id "path/to/pre-downloaded/model" --output_file "distilgpt2.gguf" 

Ollama Integration

1. Create an Ollama Model:

model2gguf create_ollama --model_name "model-name" --modelfile_path "modelfile.txt"

This command creates an Ollama model using the GGUF file. The modelfile.txt should contain the path to your GGUF model file.

model2gguf run_ollama --model_name "model-name"

nvidia-smi -L

this command is to switch the usage of the model on top of a graphic card

set CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=GPU-{YOURE UUID}

This uuid comes up when you run the previous command just paste the alphanumerical value next to the gpu- uuid
