convert-*.py: GGUF Naming Convention Refactor and Metadata Override Refactor (#7499)
Main thing is that the default output filename will take this form

{name}{parameters}{finetune}{version}{encoding}{kind}

In addition this add and remove some entries in the KV store and adds a metadata class with automatic heuristics capability to derive some values based on model card content

* No Change:
  - Internal GGUF Spec
    - `general.architecture`
    - `general.quantization_version`
    - `general.alignment`
    - `general.file_type`
  - General Model Details
    - `general.name`
    - `general.author`
    - `general.version`
    - `general.description`
  - Licensing details
    - `general.license`
  - Typically represents the converted GGUF repo (Unless made from scratch)
    - `general.url`
  - Model Source during conversion
    - `general.source.url`

* Removed:
  - Model Source during conversion
    - `general.source.huggingface.repository`

* Added:
  - General Model Details
    - `general.organization`
    - `general.finetune`
    - `general.basename`
    - `general.quantized_by`
    - `general.size_label`
  - Licensing details
    - `general.license.name`
    - `general.license.link`
  - Typically represents the converted GGUF repo (Unless made from scratch)
    - `general.doi`
    - `general.uuid`
    - `general.repo_url`
  - Model Source during conversion
    - `general.source.doi`
    - `general.source.uuid`
    - `general.source.repo_url`
  - Base Model Source
    - `general.base_model.count`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.name`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.author`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.version`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.organization`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.url` (Model Website/Paper)
    - `general.base_model.{id}.doi`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.uuid`
    - `general.base_model.{id}.repo_url` (Model Source Repository (git/svn/etc...))
  - Array based KV stores
    - `general.tags`
    - `general.languages`
    - `general.datasets`

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/*

Run Unit Tests

From root of this repository you can run this command to run all the unit tests

python -m unittest discover ./gguf-py -v

TODO

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