llama-cpu VS wrapyfi-examples_llama

You've probably heard, but LLaMA just released, and its 13B parameter model outperforms GPT-3 on most metrics (because they trained it on a lot more data). Someone's already quantized it to 4 and 3 bits and it performs virtually the same. It also apparently performs well on CPUs (several words per second on a 7900X). Running something equivalent to GPT3.5 on a phone is not out that far out.

I tried to port the llama-cpu version to a gpu-accelerated mps version for macs, it runs, but the outputs are not as good as expected and it often gives "-1" tokens. Any help and contributions on fixing it are welcome!

You can run it with only a CPU and 32 gigs of RAM: https://github.com/markasoftware/llama-cpu

I was able to run 7B on a CPU, inferring several words per second: https://github.com/markasoftware/llama-cpu

The authors present an example of combining Wrapyfi (https://github.com/fabawi/wrapyfi), a Python wrapper for message-oriented and robotics middleware, with LLaMA (https://github.com/facebookresearch/llama), a series of large language models from Meta AI. They demonstrate how Wrapyfi can enable running LLaMA on multiple mid-range machines with high inference speed and low cost. They also provide links to their GitHub repository (https://github.com/modular-ml/wrapyfi-examples_llama) and paper (https://arxiv.org/abs/2302.09648) for more details. They state that this example can revolutionize natural language processing tasks such as text generation, summarization, question answering, sentiment analysis, etc. without having to buy new hardware and use their existing infrastructure!
