For information about 4-bit quantization, which can significantly improve performance and reduce memory usage, please refer to llama.cpp's primary [README](../../README.md#prepare-and-quantize).
## LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapters
- `--lora FNAME`: Optional path to a LoRA adapter to use with scaling of 1.0. Can be mixed with `--lora-scaled` and can be repeated to use multiple adapters.
- `--lora-scaled FNAME`: Optional path to a LoRA adapter with user-defined scaling. Can be mixed with `--lora` and can repeated to use multiple adapters.
You can add LoRA adapters using `--lora` or `--lora-scaled`. For example: `--lora my_adapter_1.gguf --lora my_adapter_2.gguf ...` or `--lora-scaled lora_task_A.gguf 0.5 --lora-scaled lora_task_B.gguf 0.5`.
LoRA adapters should be in GGUF format. To convert from Hugging Face format use the `convert-lora-to-gguf.py` script. LoRA adapters are loaded separately and applied during inference - they are not merged with the main model. This means that mmap model loading is fully supported when using LoRA adapters. The old `--lora-base` flag has been removed now that merging is no longer performed.
## Additional Options
These options provide extra functionality and customization when running the LLaMA models:

- `--verbose-prompt`: Print the prompt before generating text.
- `-mg i, --main-gpu i`: When using multiple GPUs this option controls which GPU is used for small tensors for which the overhead of splitting the computation across all GPUs is not worthwhile. The GPU in question will use slightly more VRAM to store a scratch buffer for temporary results. By default GPU 0 is used.
- `-ts SPLIT, --tensor-split SPLIT`: When using multiple GPUs this option controls how large tensors should be split across all GPUs. `SPLIT` is a comma-separated list of non-negative values that assigns the proportion of data that each GPU should get in order. For example, "3,2" will assign 60% of the data to GPU 0 and 40% to GPU 1. By default the data is split in proportion to VRAM but this may not be optimal for performance.
- `--lora FNAME`: Apply a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapter to the model (implies --no-mmap). This allows you to adapt the pretrained model to specific tasks or domains.
- `--lora-base FNAME`: Optional model to use as a base for the layers modified by the LoRA adapter. This flag is used in conjunction with the `--lora` flag, and specifies the base model for the adaptation.
- `-hfr URL --hf-repo URL`: The url to the Hugging Face model repository. Used in conjunction with `--hf-file` or `-hff`. The model is downloaded and stored in the file provided by `-m` or `--model`. If `-m` is not provided, the model is auto-stored in the path specified by the `LLAMA_CACHE` environment variable or in an OS-specific local cache.
