Understanding llama-bench

[aneeshmb02]

I am trying to understand what data(prompts) is being used by the llama-bench tool.
I actually want to compare the performance of different models with different configurations (varying hardware and params). Hence, I need a way to automate the testing the process. Llama-bench seems to be doing that but I want control over the prompts that are used for benchmarking.

The prompts used by llama-bench are randomly generated sequences of tokens. You can configure the length, but not the contents.

Thanks a lot!

I tried using mistral 7b with llama-bench but the output shows llama 8b

Why is that?

The heuristic test to detect the model type is wrong and needs to be fixed.

Oh okay
