+## Build
 
-- Refer to [Facebook's LLaMA download page](https://ai.meta.com/resources/models-and-libraries/llama-downloads/) if you want to access the model data.
-- Alternatively, if you want to save time and space, you can download already converted and quantized models from [TheBloke](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke), including:
-  - [LLaMA 2 7B base](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-7B-GGUF)
-  - [LLaMA 2 13B base](https://huggingface.co/TheBloke/Llama-2-13B-GGUF)
