 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".

+## FAQ
+---
+
+### Are there pre-built binaries / binary wheels available?
+
+The recommended installation method is to install from source as described above.
+The reason for this is that `llama.cpp` is built with compiler optimizations that are specific to your system.
+Using pre-built binaries would require disabling these optimizations or supporting a large number of pre-built binaries for each platform.
+
+That being said there are some pre-built binaries available through the Releases as well as some community provided wheels.
+
+In the future, I would like to provide pre-built binaries and wheels for common platforms and I'm happy to accept any useful contributions in this area.
+This is currently being tracked in #741
