python convert_hf_to_gguf.py models/Llama3-OpenBioLLM-8B/ --model-name Llama3-OpenBioLLM-8B-F16.gguf

Problem description & steps to reproduce

Hello! It looks like the code convert_hf_to_gguf.py is ignoring the parameter --model-name when you try to convert Llama based models. I am trying to convert this model running the following:

python convert_hf_to_gguf.py models/Llama3-OpenBioLLM-8B/ --model-name Llama3-OpenBioLLM-8B-F16.gguf

And no matter what I do, the filename is always Meta-Llama-3-8B-F16.gguf.

Maybe your code is identifying I am trying to convert a Llama-3-8B based model and it assings automatically the model name.

Could you please check this?

Thanks in advance.

You can set the name of the output file using --outfile options:

...
options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --vocab-only          extract only the vocab
  --outfile OUTFILE     path to write to; default: based on input. {ftype} will be replaced by the outtype.
