convert_hf : faster lazy safetensors (#8482)
* convert_hf : faster lazy safetensors

This makes '--dry-run' much, much faster.

* convert_hf : fix memory leak in lazy MoE conversion

The '_lazy' queue was sometimes self-referential,
which caused reference cycles of objects old enough
to avoid garbage collection until potential memory exhaustion.

gguf

This is a Python package for writing binary files in the GGUF (GGML Universal File) format.

See convert_hf_to_gguf.py as an example for its usage.

Installation

pip install gguf

API Examples/Simple Tools

examples/writer.py — Generates example.gguf in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.

scripts/gguf_dump.py — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.

scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.

scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.

scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py — Copies a GGUF file with added/modified/removed metadata values.

Development

Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:

cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py

pip install --editable .

Note: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires setup.py. In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:

pip install --upgrade pip

Automatic publishing with CI

There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Create a tag named gguf-vx.x.x where x.x.x is the semantic version number.
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags

Manual publishing

If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have twine and build installed:

pip install build twine

Then, follow these steps to release a new version:

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Build the package:
python -m build
  1. Upload the generated distribution archives:
python -m twine upload dist/*

TODO

  • Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
