LLM (C++)

LLM C++ project implements various LLM models in C++ using the AIX machine learning framework.

Overview

GPT2 - Inference only implementation utilizing OpenAI weights with parameters of 124M, 355M, 774M, and 1.5B.

Quick Start

Assuming you have already built the project explained in the following section, and you are currently in the project’s root folder:

# Download OpenAI GPT2 model weights only once. Options: 124M, 355M, 774M and 1558M

$ cd product-rel
$ cd Resources
$ python downloadGPT2.py init 124M
$ cd ..
$ GPT2 --prompt="What do you know about artificial intelligence?" --model=124M --model-path=Resources\GPT2 --device=CPU

NOTE: If you have an Apple Silicon hardware, use --device=MCS for GPU acceleration.

Here is the output:

Project Build Instructions

Follow the following steps to build the project and make it deployment ready.

Currently, it has been built and tested on macOS Sonoma and Windows 10 with no issues.

---

This step will build all binaries and deploy into a specific folder. Assuming you are in the root folder of the project.

$ python build.py build release build-rel product-rel

After the successful build, all target binaries will be deployed into the product-rel folder.

You may need to build the project with a specific compiler and make program options.

$ python build.py build release build-rel product-rel -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=clang -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=clang++ -DCMAKE_MAKE_PROGRAM=ninja -G Ninja

Note: Run the build.py file without parameters to see all options.
