model-catalog

A collection of standardized JSON descriptors for Large Language Model (LLM) model files.

<model_name>.json

A single JSON file describes a model, its authors, additional resources (such as an academic paper) as well as available model files and their providers.

Version 0.0.1 of this format attempts to capture an informative set of factors including:

• model size (e.g. 7B, 13B, 30B, etc.)
• model architecture (such as Llama, MPT, Pythia, etc.)
• model file format (e.g. ggml) as well as quantization format (e.g. q4_0, q4_K_M, etc.)

See examples: guanaco-7b.json, samantha-1.1-llama-7b.json, Nous-Hermes-13b.json.

catalog.json

A Github action picks up .json files from the models/ directory and merges them into one catalog.json file. The contents of each JSON file is validated by another Github action using a JSON schema.
