## How the score was worked out
Each result implies a score on its own, after adjusting for how hard that test is and who ran it. The model's score is their weighted average, with a small pull toward the middle for thinly tested models. Each test's weight is its *counts* column above; here it is added up by who ran the tests.

## How to run it
### Through an API
api (Poolside) · price unknown · [huggingface.co](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-M.1/blob/2bf8a4ab6d2e8e1e0d92a41318532a0fee1640d6/README.md#pool)

### llama.cpp (recommended)
1. Install llama.cpp. Homebrew and winget installs name the commands llama-cli and llama-server instead. [Other ways to install](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/docs/install.md)
```sh
# macOS / Linux
curl -LsSf https://llama.app/install.sh | sh
# Windows
irm https://llama.app/install.ps1 | iex
```
2. Run Laguna M.1 (Q4_K_M, needs ~136.1 GB, from [huggingface.co/linuxid10t](https://huggingface.co/linuxid10t/Laguna-M.1-GGUF/tree/3b5ee482c6894f80e696058271ea86d80ffcb848))
```sh
llama cli -hf linuxid10t/Laguna-M.1-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```
3. Or start a local server and open the address it prints (http://localhost:9931)
```sh
llama serve -hf linuxid10t/Laguna-M.1-GGUF:Q4_K_M
```
### LM Studio
1. Install LM Studio. Open the app once before using the lms command. [Download it (macOS / Windows / Linux)](https://lmstudio.ai/download)
2. Run Laguna M.1 (Q4_K_M, needs ~136.1 GB, from [huggingface.co/linuxid10t](https://huggingface.co/linuxid10t/Laguna-M.1-GGUF/tree/3b5ee482c6894f80e696058271ea86d80ffcb848))
```sh
lms get https://huggingface.co/linuxid10t/Laguna-M.1-GGUF@Q4_K_M -y
```
3. Then run lms ls to see its name, and lms chat followed by that name

```sh
mlx_lm.chat --model mlx-community/Laguna-M.1-4bit
```
3. Or start an OpenAI-compatible server at http://localhost:8080/v1
```sh
mlx_lm.server --model mlx-community/Laguna-M.1-4bit
```
Other versions: 8bit (~239.9 GB, Mac only) `mlx_lm.chat --model mlx-community/Laguna-M.1-8bit`
### Other ways to run it
1. Run it as published (BF16, needs ~451.6 GB, NVIDIA only, from [huggingface.co/poolside](https://huggingface.co/poolside/Laguna-M.1/blob/2bf8a4ab6d2e8e1e0d92a41318532a0fee1640d6/README.md))
