The project achieved this goal by utilizing two existing projects — llama.cpp and Cosmopolitan. Georgi Gerganov’s llama.cpp enables LLMs to run on consumer-grade hardware with acceptable performance, and will even work well with just a CPU if you do not have a fancy GPU. Any decent laptop or desktop from the past several years should give good performance, and even single board computers like the Raspberry Pi have enough power to get in on the fun. The other piece of the puzzle is Justine Tunney’s Cosmopolitan, which allows llamafile to run on virtually any modern operating system or hardware architecture.
