Inference of Facebook's LLaMA model in pure C/C++
TEMPORARY NOTICE: Currently the quantized models run only on Apple Silicon. On other architectures, you can use the F16 models, but they will be much slower. Support will be added later
The main goal is to run the model using 4-bit quantization on a MacBook.
- Plain C/C++ implementation without dependencies
- Apple silicon first-class citizen - optimized via Arm Neon and Accelerate framework
- Mixed F16 / F32 precision
- 4-bit quantization support
- Runs on the CPU
This was hacked in an evening - I have no idea if it works correctly.
So far, I've tested just the 7B model. Here is a typical run:
make -j && ./main -m ../LLaMA-4bit/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -p "Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:" -t 8 -n 512

Building a website can be done in 10 simple steps:
1) Select a domain name and web hosting plan
2) Complete a sitemap
3) List your products
4) Write product descriptions
5) Create a user account
6) Build the template
7) Start building the website
8) Advertise the website
9) Provide email support
10) Submit the website to search engines
A website is a collection of web pages that are formatted with HTML. HTML is the code that defines what the website looks like and how it behaves.
The HTML code is formatted into a template or a format. Once this is done, it is displayed on the user's browser.
The web pages are stored in a web server. The web server is also called a host. When the website is accessed, it is retrieved from the server and displayed on the user's computer.
A website is known as a website when it is hosted. This means that it is displayed on a host. The host is usually a web server.
A website can be displayed on different browsers. The browsers are basically the software that renders the website on the user's screen.
A website can also be viewed on different devices such as desktops, tablets and smartphones.
Hence, to have a website displayed on a browser, the website must be hosted.
A domain name is an address of a website. It is the name of the website.

whisper-llama-lq.mp4
# build this repo
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp
cd llama.cpp
make
# obtain the original LLaMA model weights and place them in ./models
ls ./models
65B 30B 13B 7B tokenizer_checklist.chk tokenizer.model
# convert the 7B model to ggml FP16 format
python3 convert-pth-to-ggml.py models/7B/ 1
# quantize the model to 4-bits
./quantize ./models/7B/ggml-model-f16.bin ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin 2
# run the inference
./main -m ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -t 8 -n 128- Currently, only LLaMA-7B is supported since I haven't figured out how to merge the tensors of the bigger models. However, in theory, you should be able to run 65B on a 64GB MacBook
- Not sure if my tokenizer is correct. There are a few places where we might have a mistake:
- https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/26c084662903ddaca19bef982831bfb0856e8257/convert-pth-to-ggml.py#L79-L87
- https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/26c084662903ddaca19bef982831bfb0856e8257/utils.h#L65-L69 In general, it seems to work, but I think it fails for unicode character support. Hopefully, someone can help with that
- I don't know yet how much the quantization affects the quality of the generated text
- Probably the token sampling can be improved
- x86 quantization support not yet ready. Basically, you want to run this on Apple Silicon. For now, on Linux and Windows you can use the F16
ggml-model-f16.binmodel, but it will be much slower.
