Show llama-vscode menu (Ctrl+Shift+M) and select "Install/upgrade llama.cpp" (if not yet done). After that add/select the models you want to use.

The instructions below are left for a reference, but now it is possible to do it easier - add a model from the menu and select it.

Used for
- code completion

LLM type
- FIM (fill in the middle)

Instructions

1. Install llama.cpp with the command

`brew install llama.cpp`  

2. Download the LLM model and run llama.cpp server (combined in one command)

• If you have more than 16GB VRAM:

`llama-server -hf ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-7B-Q8_0-GGUF:Q8_0 --port 8012 -ngl 99 -fa -ub 1024 -b 1024 -dt 0.1 --ctx-size 0 --cache-reuse 256`  

• If you have less than 16GB VRAM:

`llama-server -hf ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Q8_0-GGUF:Q8_0 --port 8012 -ngl 99 -fa -ub 1024 -b 1024 -dt 0.1 --ctx-size 0 --cache-reuse 256`  

If the file is not available (first time) it will be downloaded (this could take some time) and after that llama.cpp server will be started.
