This is our latest project on making LLMs accessible to everyone. With this project, users no longer need to spend a fortune on huge VRAM, top-of-the-line GPUs, or powerful workstations to run LLMs at an acceptable speed. A consumer-grade GPU from years ago should suffice, or even a phone with enough memory.
Our approach leverages TVM Unity, a machine learning compiler that supports compiling GPT/Llama models to a diverse set of targets, including Metal, Vulkan, CUDA, ROCm, and more. Particularly, we've found Vulkan great because it's readily supported by a wide range of GPUs, including AMD and Intel's.
BTW, an interesting data point from Reddit that it also works on steam deck: https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/132igcy/comment/jia8ux6/ https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/132igcy/comment....
- jrm4 3y agoNot sure if you're interested in support questions, but I ran the simple start thing you guys put up (Linux, RX 570) -- and it runs quickly but spits out absolute gibberish?
- junrushao1994 3y agoThanks for sharing! Sometimes LLMs do generate some weird stuff, but if the issue persists, please do report this to our github issues!
