- LLaMA Model Inference offers a streamlined approach to running large language models like Meta’s LLaMA with minimal setup. The project, llama.cpp, focuses on providing top-notch performance on various hardware, whether it’s for local use or cloud deployment. It supports fine-tuning of base models and is compatible with OpenAI’s API, serving local models through a lightweight HTTP server. The software is open-source with permissive licensing and demonstrates impressive performance on devices like the M2 Ultra and M1 Pro MacBook. It includes detailed instructions for building on different platforms, utilizing GPU acceleration, and distributing computation across clusters using MPI. The project also provides guidance on model conversion, quantization methods, and running interactive sessions for a ChatGPT-like experience. With support for grammars to constrain output and Docker images for easy deployment, llama.cpp is a versatile tool for developers looking to leverage LLaMA models efficiently.
