Resume: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikjuola Email: mikko.juola@iki.fi --- I've been working at the Bay Area since 2015, most recently at Pinterest. At work, I've done big data pipelines, designed some batch job systems, computing metrics, handling billing APIs, lots of Python, Go and Java and working with AWS, i.e. backend and data engineer stuff. I've been coding since I was less than 10 years old so I am quite strong in churning out code. But I'm trying to look for work that's more in line with what I do on my free time: Challenging low-level C or Rust programming, machine learning implementati

Not sure I recommend trying to use this as llama.cpp will probably have this in no time with a much better user experience, although I am also trying to make it more usable. If you follow the instructions on Vicuna page over how to apply the deltas, and you can compile the project, then you could run: cargo run --release --features opencl -- --model-path /models/vicuna13b --param-path /models/vicuna13b/config.json --tokenizer-path /models/vicuna13b/tokenizer.model --prompt-file prompt --top-p 1.0 --top-k 20 --repetition-penalty 1 --temperature 0.9 --max-seq-len 2048 --f16 --percentage-to-gpu 0.9 Where /models/vicuna13b is the HuggingFace-compatible model.
