TinyLlama is a compact 1.1B parameter language model pretrained on a dataset of 3 trillion tokens. It is an edge AI model designed for high-performance text generation on memory-constrained devices. The project provides a distributed pretraining framework for training small language models across multiple GPUs and nodes. It also includes a finetuning toolkit for full-parameter weight adjustments to adapt the base model for chat and specific tasks. The system supports distributed large language model training and on-device text generation. Its architectural components include rotary positiona
llama.cpp is a high-performance C++ inference engine and runtime for executing large language models locally across various hardware architectures. It provides the core components for local model execution, including a dedicated model quantizer for compressing weights into the GGUF format and a system for generating text embeddings for semantic search. The project distinguishes itself through specialized memory and execution optimizations, such as block-wise weight quantization to reduce memory footprints and memory-mapped model loading. It supports structured text generation by using formal
Dolly is an instruction-tuned large language model designed to follow complex natural language directions. It operates as a causal language model that predicts the next token in a sequence to generate coherent conversational responses and perform tasks such as brainstorming, classification, and question answering. The project focuses on the development of models using open datasets suitable for commercial application. It enables the creation of instruction-following models by utilizing curated collections of human-generated instruction-response pairs. The repository provides capabilities for
