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.

Eagle 7B: Soaring past Transformers
There's https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp, which related-ish[0] to ggml/llama.cpp

- People who've used RWKV, whats your wishlist for it?

The Eleuther AI Mafia
Quantisation thankfully is applicable to RWKV as much as transformers. Most notably in our RWKV.cpp community project: https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp
Tooling/Ecosystem is something that I am actively working on as there is still a gap to transformers level of tooling. But i'm glad that there is a noticeable difference!
And yes! experiments are important, to ensure improvements in the architecture. Even if "Linear Transformers" replaces "Transformers". Alternatives should always be explored, to learn from such trade-offs to the benefit of the ecosystem
(This was lightly covered in the podcast, where I share IMO that we should have more research into text based diffusion networks)

New model: RWKV-4-Raven-7B-v12-Eng49%-Chn49%-Jpn1%-Other1%-20230530-ctx8192.pth
Q8_0 models: only for https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp (fast CPU).

4096 Context length (and beyond)
There's https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp which seems to work, and might be compatible with text-generation-webui.

The Coming of Local LLMs
Also worth checking out https://github.com/saharNooby/rwkv.cpp which is based on Georgi's library and offers support for the RWKV family of models which are Apache-2.0 licensed.

KoboldCpp - Combining all the various ggml.cpp CPU LLM inference projects with a WebUI and API (formerly llamacpp-for-kobold)
I'm most interested in that last one. I think I heard the RWKV models are very fast, don't need much Ram, and can have huge context tokens, so maybe their 14b can work for me. I wasn't sure how ready for use they were though, but looking more into it, stuff like rwkv.cpp and ChatRWKV and a whole lot of other community projects are mentioned on their github.

Ollama v0.1.33 with Llama 3, Phi 3, and Qwen 110B
There's a Python binding for llama.cpp which is actively maintained and has worked well for me: https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python

OpenAI: Memory and New Controls for ChatGPT
I'll share the core bit that took a while to figure out the right format, my main script is a hot mess using embeddings with SentenceTransformer, so I won't share that yet. E.g: last night I did a PR for llama-cpp-python that shows how Phi might be used with JSON only for the author to write almost exactly the same code at pretty much the same time. https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python/pull/1184

Running Mistral LLM on Apple Silicon Using Apple's MLX Framework Is Much Faster
If the model could be made to work with llama.cpp, then https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python might be more compact. llama.cpp only supports a limited list of model types though.

Code Llama, a state-of-the-art large language model for coding
https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python has a web server mode that replicates openai's API iirc and the readme shows it has docker builds already.

Meta: Code Llama, an AI Tool for Coding
LocalAI https://localai.io/ and LMStudio https://lmstudio.ai/ both have fairly complete OpenAI compatibility layers. llama-cpp-python has a FastAPI server as well: https://github.com/abetlen/llama-cpp-python/blob/main/llama_... (as of this moment it hasn't merged GGUF update yet though)

First steps with llama
I went with Python, llama-cpp-python, since my goal is just to get a small project up and running locally.
What are some alternatives?
llama.cpp - LLM inference in C/C++
LocalAI - :robot: The free, Open Source OpenAI alternative. Self-hosted, community-driven and local-first. Drop-in replacement for OpenAI running on consumer-grade hardware. No GPU required. Runs gguf, transformers, diffusers and many more models architectures. It allows to generate Text, Audio, Video, Images. Also with voice cloning capabilities.
RWKV-LM - RWKV is an RNN with transformer-level LLM performance. It can be directly trained like a GPT (parallelizable). So it's combining the best of RNN and transformer - great performance, fast inference, saves VRAM, fast training, "infinite" ctx_len, and free sentence embedding.
intel-extension-for-pytorch - A Python package for extending the official PyTorch that can easily obtain performance on Intel platform
ChatRWKV - ChatRWKV is like ChatGPT but powered by RWKV (100% RNN) language model, and open source.
mpt-30B-inference - Run inference on MPT-30B using CPU
text-generation-inference - Large Language Model Text Generation Inference
verbaflow - Neural Language Model for Go
mlc-llm - Enable everyone to develop, optimize and deploy AI models natively on everyone's devices.
alpaca.cpp - Locally run an Instruction-Tuned Chat-Style LLM
FastChat - An open platform for training, serving, and evaluating large language models. Release repo for Vicuna and Chatbot Arena.
