This performs considerably better than simply running llama.cpp. I've tested with 7b, 13b and 30b parameters alpaca models locally and I couldn't get them to produce accurate instructions to cut a video with ffmpeg, but this one does.

Wonder if it's the 4bit quantization.

I asked them and they said they're running 8bit.

Yeah, this is running in 8bit mode. The 30b 8bit version we released seems to do a lot better but it requires significantly more compute.
