MiDashengLM-7B-1021 (GGUF)
This repository contains the GGUF versions of mispeech/midashenglm-7b-1021-fp32. Can be used with llama.cpp for efficient local inference.
Usage
[!IMPORTANT] This model currently requires our llama.cpp fork to run. See the build instructions to get started.
One-shot inference
llama-cli --model backbone-bf16.gguf --mmproj mmproj-f32.gguf \
--reasoning off --temp 0 --audio audio.wav \
--prompt 'Write a detailed caption.' \
--single-turn --display-prompt
Interactive mode
llama-cli --model backbone-bf16.gguf --mmproj mmproj-f32.gguf \
--reasoning off --temp 0
For more CLI options, see the CLI documentation.
OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible API server
llama-server --model backbone-bf16.gguf --mmproj mmproj-f32.gguf
For more server options, see the server documentation.
