# Multimodal
llama.cpp supports multimodal input via `libmtmd`. Currently, there are 2 tools support this feature:
- [llama-mtmd-cli](../tools/mtmd/README.md)
- [llama-server](../tools/server/README.md) via OpenAI-compatible `/chat/completions` API
Currently, we support **image** and **audio** input. Audio is highly experimental and may have reduced quality.
To enable it, you can use one of the 2 methods below:
- Use `-hf` option with a supported model (see a list of pre-quantized model below)
- To load a model using `-hf` while disabling multimodal, use `--no-mmproj`
- To load a model using `-hf` while using a custom mmproj file, use `--mmproj local_file.gguf`
- Use `-m model.gguf` option with `--mmproj file.gguf` to specify text and multimodal projector respectively
By default, multimodal projector will be offloaded to GPU. To disable this, add `--no-mmproj-offload`
For example:
```sh
# simple usage with CLI
llama-mtmd-cli -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-4b-it-GGUF
# simple usage with server
llama-server -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-4b-it-GGUF
# using local file
llama-server -m gemma-3-4b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf --mmproj mmproj-gemma-3-4b-it-Q4_K_M.gguf
# no GPU offload
llama-server -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-4b-it-GGUF --no-mmproj-offload
```
## Pre-quantized models
These are ready-to-use models, most of them come with `Q4_K_M` quantization by default. They can be found at the Hugging Face page of the ggml-org: https://huggingface.co/collections/ggml-org/multimodal-ggufs-68244e01ff1f39e5bebeeedc
Replaces the `(tool_name)` with the name of binary you want to use. For example, `llama-mtmd-cli` or `llama-server`
NOTE: some models may require large context window, for example: `-c 8192`
