Trying something new, going to pin this thread as a place for beginners to ask what may or may not be stupid questions, to encourage both the asking and answering.

Depending on activity level I'll either make a new one once in awhile or I'll just leave this one up forever to be a place to learn and ask.

When asking a question, try to make it clear what your current knowledge level is and where you may have gaps, should help people provide more useful concise answers!

I use text-generation-webui mostly. If you're only using GGUF files (llama.cpp), koboldcpp is a really good option

A lot of it is the automatic prompt formatting, there's probably like 5-10 specific formats that are used, and using the right one for your model is very important to achieve optimal output. TheBloke usually lists the prompt format in his model card which is handy

Rope and yarn refer to extending the default context of a model through hacky (but functional) methods and probably deserve their own write up
