Описание
llama.cpp — проект, который сделал локальный запуск больших моделей массовым. Чистый C/C++ без зависимостей, квантование весов, работа на CPU и GPU, конвертация моделей между форматами.
Что умеет:
— запускать модели на CPU с приемлемой скоростью;
— квантовать веса для экономии памяти;
— работать с Metal, CUDA и Vulkan;
— конвертировать модели из Safetensors в GGUF.
Полная документация ниже — автоматически из репозитория ggml-org/llama.cpp (ветка master). Оригинальные материалы проекта распространяются на условиях его лицензии.
