## alpindale/gemma-2b - GGUF
This repo contains GGUF format model files for [alpindale/gemma-2b](https://huggingface.co/alpindale/gemma-2b).
The files were quantized using machines provided by [TensorBlock](https://tensorblock.co/), and they are compatible with llama.cpp as of [commit b4242](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/commit/a6744e43e80f4be6398fc7733a01642c846dce1d).

## Downloading instruction
### Command line
Firstly, install Huggingface Client
```shell
pip install -U "huggingface_hub[cli]"
```
Then, downoad the individual model file the a local directory
```shell
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/gemma-2b-GGUF --include "gemma-2b-Q2_K.gguf" --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR
```
If you wanna download multiple model files with a pattern (e.g., `*Q4_K*gguf`), you can try:
```shell
huggingface-cli download tensorblock/gemma-2b-GGUF --local-dir MY_LOCAL_DIR --local-dir-use-symlinks False --include='*Q4_K*gguf'
```
