llama.cpp: LLM and VLM inference in C/C++
The brief
llama.cpp is a C/C++ implementation of large language model and vision language model inference, built on the ggml tensor library and MIT licensed.
Key points
- It ships a command line interface, an OpenAI-compatible API server, and a web chat UI, installable as an app, via Docker, from pre-built binaries, or from source.
- Backends cover Apple Silicon with ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal, x86 with AVX through AVX512 and AMX, NVIDIA CUDA, AMD HIP, Vulkan and SYCL, plus hybrid CPU and GPU inference.
- The repository showed 124.9k stars and 22.0k forks with 778 open issues and roughly 1.4k open pull requests, and quantization spans 1.5-bit to 8-bit so output quality depends on the level chosen.
