Installing the Models

For Windows

You may choose to download individual models or all, based on your configuration and benchmarking needs. 

1. By default, the benchmark is installed in

%ProgramData%\UL\Procyon\chops\dlc\ai-textgeneration-benchmark\

2. Create a subfolder named "models", if it does not exist;

%ProgramData%\UL\Procyon\chops\dlc\ai-textgeneration-benchmark\models

3. Unzip the downloaded models and copy them over to the models folder. Note that the extracted folders should not contain the prefix "zip_". The models directory with downloaded models should look like this;

For macOS

Unzip the downloaded models and copy them over to the models folder.

/Users/Shared/Library/UL/Procyon/AITextGeneration/models

Note that the extracted folders should not contain the prefix "zip_". The models directory with the downloaded phi model should look like this;
