+# llama.cpp/example/infill
+
+This example shows how to use the infill mode with Code Llama models supporting infill mode.
+Currently the 7B and 13B models support infill mode.
+
+Infill supports most of the options available in the main example.
+
+For further information have a look at the main README.md in llama.cpp/example/main/README.md
+
+## Common Options
+
+In this section, we cover the most commonly used options for running the `infill` program with the LLaMA models:
+
+-   `-m FNAME, --model FNAME`: Specify the path to the LLaMA model file (e.g., `models/7B/ggml-model.bin`).
+-   `-i, --interactive`: Run the program in interactive mode, allowing you to provide input directly and receive real-time responses.
+-   `-n N, --n-predict N`: Set the number of tokens to predict when generating text. Adjusting this value can influence the length of the generated text.
+-   `-c N, --ctx-size N`: Set the size of the prompt context. The default is 512, but LLaMA models were built with a context of 2048, which will provide better results for longer input/inference.
+
+## Input Prompts
+
+The `infill` program provides several ways to interact with the LLaMA models using input prompts:
+
+-   `--in-prefix PROMPT_BEFORE_CURSOR`: Provide the prefix directly as a command-line option.
+-   `--in-suffix PROMPT_AFTER_CURSOR`: Provide the suffix directly as a command-line option.
+-   `--interactive-first`: Run the program in interactive mode and wait for input right away. (More on this below.)
+
+## Interaction
+
+The `infill` program offers a seamless way to interact with LLaMA models, allowing users to receive real-time infill suggestions. The interactive mode can be triggered using `--interactive`, and `--interactive-first`
+
+### Interaction Options
+
+-   `-i, --interactive`: Run the program in interactive mode, allowing users to get real time code suggestions from model.
+-   `--interactive-first`: Run the program in interactive mode and immediately wait for user input before starting the text generation.
+-   `--color`: Enable colorized output to differentiate visually distinguishing between prompts, user input, and generated text.
+
+### Example
+
+```bash
+./infill -t 10 -ngl 0 -m models/codellama-13b.Q5_K_S.gguf -c 4096 --temp 0.7 --repeat_penalty 1.1 -n 20 --in-prefix "def helloworld():\n    print(\"hell" --in-suffix "\n   print(\"goodbye world\")\n    "
+```
