AdeonLLaMA

This is my attempt at making the LLaMA language model working on a pure Rust CPU implementation. I was inspired by an amazing CPU implementation here: https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml that could run GPT-J 8B models.

As of writing of this, this can run LLaMA-7B at around ~1 token per second, using something like 1.5 threads because I haven't yet properly figured out how to multithread this.

It uses AVX2 intrinsics to speed up itself. Therefore, you need an x86-family CPU to run this.

It has a Python unpickler that understands the .pth files used by PyTorch. Well sort of, it doesn't unzip them automatically (see below).

How to run

You will need Rust. Make sure you can run cargo from a command line.

You will need to download LLaMA-7B weights. Refer to https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama/

Once you have 7B weights, and the tokenizer.model it comes with, you need to decompress it.

$ cd LLaMA
$ cd 7B
$ unzip consolidated.00.pth

You should then be ready to generate some text.

cargo run --release -- --tokenizer-model /path/to/tokenizer.model --model-path /path/to/LLaMA/7B/consolidated/data.pkl --prompt "The meaning of life is"

Right now it seems to use around ~25 gigabytes of memory. Internally all weights are cast to 32-bit floats.

You can use --temperature, --top-p and --top-k to adjust token sampler settings.

Future plans

This is a hobby thing for me so don't expect updates or help.
