# llama.cpp/example/simple

The purpose of this example is to demonstrate a minimal usage of llama.cpp for generating text with a given prompt.

```bash
./llama-simple -m ./models/llama-7b-v2/ggml-model-f16.gguf -p "Hello my name is"

...

main: n_len = 32, n_ctx = 2048, n_parallel = 1, n_kv_req = 32

main: decoded 27 tokens in 2.31 s, speed: 11.68 t/s
