-Depending on the model architecture, you can use either [convert-hf-to-gguf.py](../convert-hf-to-gguf.py) or [examples/convert-legacy-llama.py](../examples/convert-legacy-llama.py) (for `llama/llama2` models in `.pth` format).

 The convert script reads the model configuration, tokenizer, tensor names+data and converts them to GGUF metadata and tensors.
