 That will format the prompt according to how model expects it. You can find the prompt format in the model card.
 For possible options, see [llama_cpp/llama_chat_format.py](llama_cpp/llama_chat_format.py) and look for lines starting with "@register_chat_format".
 
+If you have `huggingface-hub` installed, you can also use the `--hf_model_repo_id` flag to load a model from the Hugging Face Hub.
