# narainp/gemma-2b-it-Q4_K_M-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`google/gemma-2b-it`](https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2b-it) 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/google/gemma-2b-it) 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 narainp/gemma-2b-it-Q4_K_M-GGUF --model gemma-2b-it-q4_k_m.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
```
Server:
```bash
llama-server --hf-repo narainp/gemma-2b-it-Q4_K_M-GGUF --model gemma-2b-it-q4_k_m.gguf -c 2048
