  The key benefit of GGUF is that it is a extensible, future-proof format which stores more information about the model as metadata. It also includes significantly improved tokenization code, including for the first time full support for special tokens. This should improve performance, especially with models that use new special tokens and implement custom prompt templates.

- As of August 25th, here is a list of clients and libraries that are known to support GGUF:
59
- * [llama.cpp](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp)
60
  * [text-generation-webui](https://github.com/oobabooga/text-generation-webui), the most widely used web UI. Supports GGUF with GPU acceleration via the ctransformers backend - llama-cpp-python backend should work soon too.
61
  * [KoboldCpp](https://github.com/LostRuins/koboldcpp), now supports GGUF as of release 1.41! A powerful GGML web UI, with full GPU accel. Especially good for story telling.
 
62
  * [LoLLMS Web UI](https://github.com/ParisNeo/lollms-webui), should now work, choose the `c_transformers` backend. A great web UI with many interesting features. Supports CUDA GPU acceleration.
63
  * [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers), now supports GGUF as of version 0.2.24! A Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible AI server.
64
  * [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python), supports GGUF as of version 0.1.79. A Python library with GPU accel, LangChain support, and OpenAI-compatible API server.
65
  * [candle](https://github.com/huggingface/candle), added GGUF support on August 22nd. Candle is a Rust ML framework with a focus on performance, including GPU support, and ease of use.

156
+ ## How to run from Python code
157
+
158
+ You can use GGUF models from Python using the [llama-cpp-python](https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python) or [ctransformers](https://github.com/marella/ctransformers) libraries.
159
+
160
+ ### How to load this model from Python using ctransformers
161
+
162
+ #### First install the package
163
+
164
+ ```bash
165
+ # Base ctransformers with no GPU acceleration
166
+ pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24
167
+ # Or with CUDA GPU acceleration
168
+ pip install ctransformers[cuda]>=0.2.24
169
+ # Or with ROCm GPU acceleration
170
+ CT_HIPBLAS=1 pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24 --no-binary ctransformers
171
+ # Or with Metal GPU acceleration for macOS systems
172
+ CT_METAL=1 pip install ctransformers>=0.2.24 --no-binary ctransformers
173
+ ```
174
+
175
+ #### Simple example code to load one of these GGUF models
176
+
177
+ ```python
178
+ from ctransformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
179
+
180
+ # Set gpu_layers to the number of layers to offload to GPU. Set to 0 if no GPU acceleration is available on your system.
181
+ llm = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained("TheBloke/Phind-CodeLlama-34B-Python-v1-GGUF", model_file="phind-codellama-34b-python-v1.q4_K_M.gguf", model_type="llama", gpu_layers=50)
182
+
183
+ print(llm("AI is going to"))
184
+ ```
185
+
186
+ ## How to use with LangChain
187
+
188
+ Here's guides on using llama-cpp-python or ctransformers with LangChain:
