Example reading directly from gguf file (#222)
* Draft of tiny llama from gguf

* Transpose all

* No transposition with new layout

* Read config from gguf

* Create tokenizer from gguf

* move gguf and update to be similar to hf_llm

* change model to HF style + updates to REAMDE

* nits in REAMDE

* nit readme

* only use mlx for metadata

* fix eos/bos tokenizer

* fix tokenization

* quantization runs

* 8-bit works

* tokenizer fix

* bump mlx version

# 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`
