Overview
This repository hosts TheBloke's fp16 conversion of Meta's Llama 2 70B model, a large language model with 69 billion parameters. It was created by converting the original PTH files from Meta using the latest Hugging Face Transformers library, ensuring compatibility and proper weight handling. The model is provided in Safetensors format, making it ready for GPU inference and serving as a base for further conversions or fine-tuning.
