| | # Triangle104/Homunculus-Q8_0-GGUF |
| | This model was converted to GGUF format from [`arcee-ai/Homunculus`](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Homunculus) using llama.cpp via the ggml.ai's [GGUF-my-repo](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ggml-org/gguf-my-repo) space. |
| | Refer to the [original model card](https://huggingface.co/arcee-ai/Homunculus) for more details on the model. |

| | Homunculus is a 12 billion-parameter instruction model distilled from Qwen3-235B onto the Mistral-Nemo backbone. It was purpose-built to preserve Qwen’s two-mode interaction style—/think (deliberate chain-of-thought) and /nothink (concise answers)—while running on a single consumer GPU. |

| | ## Use with llama.cpp |
| | Install llama.cpp through brew (works on Mac and Linux) |
| | |
| | ```bash |
| | brew install llama.cpp |
| | |
| | ``` |
| | Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI. |
| | |
| | ### CLI: |
| | ```bash |
| | llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Homunculus-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file homunculus-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is" |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | ### Server: |
| | ```bash |
| | llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Homunculus-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file homunculus-q8_0.gguf -c 2048 |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | Note: You can also use this checkpoint directly through the [usage steps](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp?tab=readme-ov-file#usage) listed in the Llama.cpp repo as well. |
| | |
| | Step 1: Clone llama.cpp from GitHub. |
| | ``` |
| | git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | Step 2: Move into the llama.cpp folder and build it with `LLAMA_CURL=1` flag along with other hardware-specific flags (for ex: LLAMA_CUDA=1 for Nvidia GPUs on Linux). |
| | ``` |
| | cd llama.cpp && LLAMA_CURL=1 make |
| | ``` |
| | |
| | Step 3: Run inference through the main binary. |
| | ``` |
| | ./llama-cli --hf-repo Triangle104/Homunculus-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file homunculus-q8_0.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is" |
| | ``` |
| | or |
| | ``` |
| | ./llama-server --hf-repo Triangle104/Homunculus-Q8_0-GGUF --hf-file homunculus-q8_0.gguf -c 2048 |
| | ``` |
