Open Source C++ Generative AI for Linux

The llama.cpp project enables the inference of Meta's LLaMA model (and other models) in pure C/C++ without requiring a Python runtime. It is designed for efficient and fast model execution, offering easy integration for applications needing LLM-based capabilities. The repository focuses on providing a highly optimized and portable implementation for running large language models directly within C/C++ environments.

Run a fast ChatGPT-like model locally on your device. This combines the LLaMA foundation model with an open reproduction of Stanford Alpaca a fine-tuning of the base model to obey instructions (akin to the RLHF used to train ChatGPT) and a set of modifications to llama.cpp to add a chat interface. Download the zip file corresponding to your operating system from the latest release. The weights are based on the published fine-tunes from alpaca-lora, converted back into a PyTorch checkpoint with a modified script and then quantized with llama.cpp the regular way.
