ramalama perplexity [options] model [arg ...]
| Transports | Prefix | Web Site |
|---|---|---|
| URL based | https://, http://, file:// | https://web.site/ai.model, file://tmp/ai.model |
| HuggingFace | huggingface://, hf://, hf.co/ | huggingface.co |
| Ollama | ollama:// | ollama.com |
| OCI Container Registries | oci:// | opencontainers.org |
Examples: quay.io, Docker Hub,Artifactory |
RamaLama defaults to the Ollama registry transport. This default can be overridden in the ramalama.conf file or via the RAMALAMA_TRANSPORTS
environment. export RAMALAMA_TRANSPORT=huggingface Changes RamaLama to use huggingface transport.
Modify individual model transports by specifying the huggingface://, oci://, ollama://, https://, http://, file:// prefix to the model.
URL support means if a model is on a web site or even on your local system, you can run it directly.
path of the authentication file for OCI registries
size of the prompt context (default: 2048, 0 = loaded from model)
Add a host device to the container. Optional permissions parameter can be used to specify device permissions by combining r for read, w for write, and m for mknod(2).
Example: --device=/dev/dri/renderD128:/dev/xvdc:rwm
The device specification is passed directly to the underlying container engine. See documentation of the supported container engine for more information.

name of the container to run the Model in
set the network mode for the container
number of gpu layers, 0 means CPU inferencing, 999 means use max layers (default: -1) The default -1, means use whatever is automatically deemed appropriate (0 or 999)
By default, RamaLama containers are unprivileged (=false) and cannot, for example, modify parts of the operating system. This is because by de‐ fault a container is only allowed limited access to devices. A "privi‐ leged" container is given the same access to devices as the user launch‐ ing the container, with the exception of virtual consoles (/dev/tty\d+) when running in systemd mode (--systemd=always).
A privileged container turns off the security features that isolate the container from the host. Dropped Capabilities, limited devices, read- only mount points, Apparmor/SELinux separation, and Seccomp filters are all disabled. Due to the disabled security features, the privileged field should almost never be set as containers can easily break out of confinement.
Containers running in a user namespace (e.g., rootless containers) can‐ not have more privileges than the user that launched them.
- always: Always pull the image and throw an error if the pull fails.
- missing: Only pull the image when it does not exist in the local containers storage. Throw an error if no image is found and the pull fails.
- never: Never pull the image but use the one from the local containers storage. Throw an error when no image is found.
- newer: Pull if the image on the registry is newer than the one in the local containers storage. An image is considered to be newer when the digests are different. Comparing the time stamps is prone to errors. Pull errors are suppressed if a local image was found.
Specify seed rather than using random seed model interaction
Temperature of the response from the AI Model llama.cpp explains this as:
The lower the number is, the more deterministic the response.
The higher the number is the more creative the response is, but more likely to hallucinate when set too high.
Usage: Lower numbers are good for virtual assistants where we need deterministic responses. Higher numbers are good for roleplay or creative tasks like editing storiesrequire HTTPS and verify certificates when contacting OCI registries
Calculate the perplexity of an AI Model. Perplexity measures how well the model can predict the next token with lower values being better.
