Not all architectures are supported by llama.cpp . The GGUF format encodes the NN in a standardized way, but then you need code that can use that NN structure.

I understand that llama.cpp could only output text, last time I checked (I do not know how to find a good source for that though).

See https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/src/llama-... , the
