+# LLMs in MLX with GGUF
+
+An example generating text using GGUF format models in MLX.[^1]
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> MLX is able to read most quantization formats from GGUF directly. However,
+> only a few quantizations are supported directly: `Q4_0`, `Q4_1`, and `Q8_0`.
+> Unsupported quantizations will be cast to `float16`.
+
+## Setup
+
+Install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+### Run
+
+Run with:
+
+```bash
+python generate.py \
+  --repo <hugging_face_repo> \
+  --gguf <file.gguf> \
+  --prompt "Write a quicksort in Python"
+```
+
+For example, to generate text with Mistral 7B use:
+
+```bash
+python generate.py \
+  --repo TheBloke/Mistral-7B-v0.1-GGUF \
+  --gguf mistral-7b-v0.1.Q8_0.gguf \
+  --prompt "Write a quicksort in Python"
+```
+
+Run `python generate.py --help` for more options.
+
+Models that have been tested and work include:
+
+- [TheBloke/Mistral-7B-v0.1-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Mistral-7B-v0.1-GGUF),
+  for quantized models use:
+  - `mistral-7b-v0.1.Q8_0.gguf`
+  - `mistral-7b-v0.1.Q4_0.gguf`
+
+- [TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-GGUF](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-GGUF),
+  for quantized models use:
+  - `tinyllama-1.1b-chat-v1.0.Q8_0.gguf`
+  - `tinyllama-1.1b-chat-v1.0.Q4_0.gguf` 
+
+[^1]: For more information on GGUF see [the documentation](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml/blob/master/docs/gguf.md).
