# Running GGUF Models with llama.cpp on Arch

The ArchWiki’s llama.cpp guide covers installation and backends, command-line prompts, a local API server, and fetching GGUF models from Hugging Face. Its quantization notes explain that lower-precision models use less memory but may reduce quality. Check model requirements before downloading; the page warns that the Hugging Face download option can overwrite an existing file.
