* feat: Add a verbose log for each tensor loaded

This is really helpful for diagnosing mismatches between the expected and
received tensors

* feat: First (broken) pass at nemotronh model architecture

It generates tokens, just not valid ones!

* fix: Explicitly enable add_bos_token during conversion

The `tokenizer.json`/`tokenizer_config.json` in the model are a bit
contradictory. In the config, add_bos_token is set to False, but the
tokenizer model itself has a post_processor that adds the BOS token via
type: TemplateProcessing

* Nemotron-H: MLP gate cleanup (pass NULL for unused gate)

This model does not use a gate in MLP blocks; pass NULLs for gate tensors to make intent clear and avoid unused-pointer noise.

* SSM: respect ssm_dt_rank for dt_dim when provided

Use GGUF-provided time_step_rank (ssm_dt_rank) to set dt_dim when > 0; fallback to max(64, n_embd/16).

* fix: plamo2 - revert dt_dim to default (remove ssm_dt_rank usage)

* Rename nemotronh to nemotron_h for consistency

- Update architecture name from NEMOTRONH to NEMOTRON_H in constants.py
- Change architecture string from 'nemotronh' to 'nemotron_h' in all files
- Update enum LLM_ARCH_NEMOTRONH to LLM_ARCH_NEMOTRON_H
- Update class name llm_build_nemotronh to llm_build_nemotron_h
- Consistent naming with underscore convention (nemotron_h vs nemotronh)

* feat: Support conversion for older NemotronH models

gguf

This is a Python package for writing binary files in the GGUF (GGML Universal File) format.

See convert_hf_to_gguf.py as an example for its usage.

Installation

pip install gguf

Optionally, you can install gguf with the extra 'gui' to enable the visual GGUF editor.

pip install gguf[gui]

API Examples/Simple Tools

examples/writer.py — Generates example.gguf in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.

examples/reader.py — Extracts and displays key-value pairs and tensor details from a GGUF file in a readable format.

gguf/scripts/gguf_dump.py — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.

gguf/scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.

gguf/scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.

gguf/scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py — Copies a GGUF file with added/modified/removed metadata values.

gguf/scripts/gguf_editor_gui.py — Allows for viewing, editing, adding, or removing metadata values within a GGUF file as well as viewing its tensors with a Qt interface.

Development

Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:

cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py

pip install --editable .

Note: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires setup.py. In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:

pip install --upgrade pip

Automatic publishing with CI

There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Create a tag named gguf-vx.x.x where x.x.x is the semantic version number.
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags

Manual publishing

If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have twine and build installed:

pip install build twine

Then, follow these steps to release a new version:

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Build the package:
python -m build
  1. Upload the generated distribution archives:
python -m twine upload dist/*

Run Unit Tests

From root of this repository you can run this command to run all the unit tests

python -m unittest discover ./gguf-py -v

TODO

  • Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
