Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

MLC vs llama.cpp
I have tried running mistral 7B with MLC on my m1 metal. And it kept crushing (git issue with description). Memory inefficiency problems.

ROCm Is AMD's #1 Priority, Executive Says
One of your problems might be that gfx1032 is not supported by AMD's ROCm packages, which has a laughably short list of supported hardware: https://rocm.docs.amd.com/en/latest/release/gpu_os_support.h...
The normal workaround is to assign the closest architecture, eg gfx1030, so `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=10.3.0` might help
Also, it looks like some of your tested projects are OpenCL? For me, I do something like: `yay -S rocm-hip-sdk rocm-ml-sdk rocm-opencl-sdk` to cover all the bases.
My recent interest has been LLMs and this is my general step by step for those (llama.cpp, exllama) for those interested: https://llm-tracker.info/books/howto-guides/page/amd-gpus
I didn't port the docs back in, but also here's a step-by-step w/ my adventures getting TVM/MLC working w/ an APU: https://github.com/mlc-ai/mlc-llm/issues/787
From my experience, ROCm is improving, but there's a good reason that Nvidia has 90% market share even at big price premiums.

Distil-Whisper: distilled version of Whisper that is 6 times faster, 49% smaller
Just a point of clarification - faster-whisper references it but ctranslate2[0] is what's really doing the magic here.
Ctranslate2 is a sleeper powerhouse project that enables a lot. They should be up front and center and get the credit they deserve.

A Raspberry Pi 5 is better than two Pi 4S
We'd love to move beyond Nvidia.
The issue (among others) is we achieve the speech recognition performance we do largely thanks to ctranslate2[0]. They've gone on the record saying that they essentially have no interest in ROCm[1].
Of course with open source anything is possible but we see this as being one of several fundamental issues in supporting AMD GPGPU hardware.

AMD May Get Across the CUDA Moat
> While I agree that it's much more effort to get things working on AMD cards than it is with Nvidia, I was a bit surprised to see this comment mention Whisper being an example of "5-10x as performant".
It easily is. See the benchmarks[0] from faster-whisper which uses Ctranslate2. That's 5x faster than OpenAI reference code on a Tesla V100. Needless to say something like a 4080 easily multiplies that.
> https://www.tomshardware.com/news/whisper-audio-transcriptio... is a good example of Nvidia having no excuses being double the price when it comes to Whisper inference, with 7900XTX being directly comparable with 4080, albeit with higher power draw. To be fair it's not using ROCm but Direct3D 11, but for performance/price arguments sake that detail is not relevant.
With all due respect to the author of the article this is "my first entry into ML" territory. They talk about a 5-10 second delay, my project can do sub 1 second times[1] even with ancient GPUs thanks to Ctranslate2. I don't have an RTX 4080 but if you look at the performance stats for the closest thing (RTX 4090) the performance numbers are positively bonkers - completely untouchable for anything ROCm based. Same goes for the other projects I linked, lmdeploy does over 100 tokens/s in a single session with LLama2 13b on my RTX 4090 and almost 600 tokens/s across eight simultaneous sessions.
> EDIT: Also using CTranslate2 as an example is not great as it's actually a good showcase why ROCm is so far behind CUDA: It's all about adapting the tech and getting the popular libraries to support it. Things usually get implemented in CUDA first and then would need additional effort to add ROCm support that projects with low amount of (possibly hobbyist) maintainers might not have available. There's even an issue in CTranslate2 where they clearly state no-one is working to get ROCm supported in the library. ( https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/issues/1072#issuecomm... )
I don't understand what you're saying here. It (along with the other projects I linked) are fantastic examples of just how far behind the ROCm ecosystem is. ROCm isn't even on the radar for most of them as your linked issue highlights.
Things always get implemented in CUDA first (ten years in this space and I've never seen ROCm first) and ROCm users either wait months (minimum) for sub-par performance or never get it at all.

StreamingLLM: Efficient streaming technique enable infinite sequence lengths
Etc.
Now, what this allows you to do is reuse the attention computed from the previous turns (since the prefix is the same).
In practice, people often have a system prompt before the conversation history, which (as far a I can tell) makes this technique not applicable (the input prefix will change as soon as the conversation history is long enough that we need to start dropping the oldest turns).
In such case, what you could do is to cache at least the system prompt. This is also possible with https://github.com/OpenNMT/CTranslate2/blob/2203ad5c8baf878a...

Faster Whisper Transcription with CTranslate2
The original Whisper implementation from OpenAI uses the PyTorch deep learning framework. On the other hand, faster-whisper is implemented using CTranslate2 [1] which is a custom inference engine for Transformer models. So basically it is running the same model but using another backend, which is specifically optimized for inference workloads.

Explore large language models on any computer with 512MB of RAM
FLAN-T5 models generally perform well for their size, but they are encode-decoder models, and they aren't as widely supported for efficient inference. I wanted students to be able to run everything locally on CPU, so I was ideally hoping for something that supported quantization for CPU inference. I explored llama.cpp and GGML, but ultimately landed on ctranslate2 for inference.
