This guide delves into three prominent projects for serving large language models and vision-language models: VLLM, LLAMA CPP Server, and SGLang. Each project offers distinct functionalities and is explained with usage instructions, features, and deployment methods.
# obtain the original LLaMA model weights and place them in ./models
ls ./models
65B 30B 13B 7B tokenizer_checklist.chk tokenizer.model
# install Python dependencies
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
# convert the 7B model to ggml FP16 format
python3 convert.py models/7B/
# quantize the model to 4-bits (using q4_0 method)
./quantize ./models/7B/ggml-model-f16.bin ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin q4_0
# run the inference
./main -m ./models/7B/ggml-model-q4_0.bin -n 128
