+### Loading llama-2 70b
+
+Llama2 70b must set the `n_gqa` parameter (grouped-query attention factor) to 8 when loading:
+
+```python
+llm = Llama(model_path="./models/7B/ggml-model.bin", n_gqa=8)
+```

 ## Web Server
 
 `llama-cpp-python` offers a web server which aims to act as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API.
