 -   `-ts SPLIT, --tensor-split SPLIT`: When using multiple GPUs this option controls how large tensors should be split across all GPUs. `SPLIT` is a comma-separated list of non-negative values that assigns the proportion of data that each GPU should get in order. For example, "3,2" will assign 60% of the data to GPU 0 and 40% to GPU 1. By default the data is split in proportion to VRAM but this may not be optimal for performance.
 -   `--lora FNAME`: Apply a LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation) adapter to the model (implies --no-mmap). This allows you to adapt the pretrained model to specific tasks or domains.
 -   `--lora-base FNAME`: Optional model to use as a base for the layers modified by the LoRA adapter. This flag is used in conjunction with the `--lora` flag, and specifies the base model for the adaptation.

+-   `-hfr URL --hf-repo URL`: The url to the Hugging Face model repository. Used in conjunction with `--hf-file` or `-hff`. The model is downloaded and stored in the file provided by `-m` or `--model`. If `-m` is not provided, the model is auto-stored in the path specified by the `LLAMA_CACHE` environment variable  or in an OS-specific local cache.
