llama.cpp

llama.cpp is a C/C++ port of Meta's LLaMA (Large Language Model Meta AI) that enables efficient inference of large language models on consumer hardware. It is designed for simplicity and performance, allowing users to run LLaMA and other compatible models locally with minimal setup.

This tool is primarily for developers, researchers, and enthusiasts who want to experiment with or deploy large language models on their own machines. It supports various quantization methods and hardware acceleration, making it suitable for a range of applications from local AI assistants to research projects.
