# newsletter/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat-Q6_K-GGUF
This model was converted to GGUF format from [`h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat`](https://huggingface.co/h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat) 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/h2oai/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat) for more details on the model.
## Use with llama.cpp

```bash
brew install ggerganov/ggerganov/llama.cpp
```
Invoke the llama.cpp server or the CLI.

CLI:

```bash
llama-cli --hf-repo newsletter/h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat-Q6_K-GGUF --model h2o-danube2-1.8b-chat.Q6_K.gguf -p "The meaning to life and the universe is"
