# LLaMA-v2 To convert LLaMA-v2 from the `.pth` format provided by Meta to transformers format, follow the steps below: 1) `cd` into your `llama` folder (the one containing `download.sh` and the models that you downloaded): ``` cd llama ``` 2) Clone the code in [this PR](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/24891): ``` git clone 'https://github.com/ArthurZucker/transformers' -b llama-tests ``` 3) Create symbolic links from the downloaded folders to names that the conversion script can recognize: ``` ln -s llama-2-7b 7B ln -s llama-2-13b 13B ``` 4) Do the conversions: ``` mkdir llama-2-7b-hf llama-2-13b-hf python ./transformers/src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py --input_dir . --model_size 7B --output_dir llama-2-7b-hf --safe_serialization true python ./transformers/src/transformers/models/llama/convert_llama_weights_to_hf.py --input_dir . --model_size 13B --output_dir llama-2-13b-hf --safe_serialization true ``` 5) Move the output folders inside `text-generation-webui/models` 6) Have fun
