PyData London co-founder and lightning speaker Ian Ozsvald @[email protected] introduces running llama.cpp on CPU at ⚡️speed. "It just works"

I gave a short talk PyData London on Tuesday on llama.cpp running local LLMs on your CPU (no data sent off the machine), with live demos including multimodal with llava - slides here with cmd lines: speakerdeck.com/ianozsvald/run…

To help with llama (with GPU offload) testing I'm playing with the excellent nvtop: github.com/Syllo/nvtop - see GPU% and GPU-mem% in the console, plus the processes running on it:

At last week's Leadership session I also handed out snake stickers so folk could self-identify after the session to continue network, this feels like a nice iteration on previous sessions (where I didn't have stickers!), write-up: ianozsvald.com/2024/06/19/lea…
