This release adds support to the transformer backend for LLM as well!
For now instance you can run codellama-7b with transformers with:
```
docker run -ti -p 8080:8080 --gpus all localai/localai:v2.7.0-cublas-cuda12 codellama-7b
```
In the quickstart there are more examples available https://localai.io/basics/getting_started/#running-models.
Note: As llama.cpp is ongoing with changes that could possible cause breakage, this release does not includes changes from https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/5138 (the future versions will).
