# Hugging Face Local Models

Search the Hugging Face Hub for llama.cpp-compatible GGUF repos, choose the right quant, and launch the model with `llama-cli` or `llama-server`.

## Default Workflow

1. Search the Hub with `apps=llama.cpp`.
2. Open `https://huggingface.co/<repo>?local-app=llama.cpp`.
3. Prefer the exact HF local-app snippet and quant recommendation when it is visible.
4. Confirm exact `.gguf` filenames with `https://huggingface.co/api/models/<repo>/tree/main?recursive=true`.
5. Launch with `llama-cli -hf <repo>:<QUANT>` or `llama-server -hf <repo>:<QUANT>`.
6. Fall back to `--hf-repo` plus `--hf-file` when the repo uses custom file naming.
7. Convert from Transformers weights only if the repo does not already expose GGUF files.
