# GGUF - Quantization Format for llama.cpp
The GGUF (GPT-Generated Unified Format) is the standard file format for llama.cpp, enabling efficient inference on CPUs, Apple Silicon, and GPUs with flexible quantization options.
## When to use GGUF
**Use GGUF when:**
- Deploying on consumer hardware (laptops, desktops)
- Running on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) with Metal acceleration
- Need CPU inference without GPU requirements
- Want flexible quantization (Q2_K to Q8_0)
- Using local AI tools (LM Studio, Ollama, text-generation-webui)
**Key advantages:**
