Many thanks for this amazing project.

I had difficulty understanding what to do when importing a local model from the 1st bullet point of the documentation in the importing section.

The first bullet point says

Step 1: Write a Modelfile
Start by creating a Modelfile. This file is the blueprint for your model, specifying weights, parameters, prompt templates and more.

FROM ./mistral-7b-v0.1.Q4_0.gguf

I did understand that I should create a file named Modelfile but the documentation doesn't say to populate it with the location of the file in the following code snippet.

Thanks in advance.

You're probably looking at the README, here is the full documentation.

Also some models are already available just take a look. This video has a brief explanation of Modelfiles.

example for chatml

FROM /path/to/model.gguf

TEMPLATE """
<|im_start|>system
{{ .System }}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>user
{{ .Prompt }}<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
"""

PARAMETER num_ctx 8192
PARAMETER stop "<|im_start|>"
PARAMETER stop "<|im_end|>"
