Simple Python bindings for @ggerganov's llama.cpp library.
This package provides:
- Low-level access to C API via
ctypesinterface. - High-level Python API for text completion
- OpenAI-like API
- LangChain compatibility
Install from PyPI:
pip install llama-cpp-python>>> from llama_cpp import Llama
>>> llm = Llama(model_path="./models/7B/ggml-model.bin")
>>> output = llm("Q: Name the planets in the solar system? A: ", max_tokens=32, stop=["Q:", "\n"], echo=True)
>>> print(output)

],

}
}llama-cpp-python offers a web server which aims to act as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API.
This allows you to use llama.cpp compatible models with any OpenAI compatible client (language libraries, services, etc).
To install the server package and get started:
pip install llama-cpp-python[server]
export MODEL=./models/7B/ggml-model.bin
python3 -m llama_cpp.serverNavigate to http://localhost:8000/docs to see the OpenAPI documentation.
The low-level API is a direct ctypes binding to the C API provided by llama.cpp.
The entire API can be found in llama_cpp/llama_cpp.py and should mirror llama.h.
Documentation is available at https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python. If you find any issues with the documentation, please open an issue or submit a PR.
This package is under active development and I welcome any contributions.
To get started, clone the repository and install the package in development mode:
git clone git@github.com:abetlen/llama-cpp-python.git
git submodule update --init --recursive
# Will need to be re-run any time vendor/llama.cpp is updated
python3 setup.py developI originally wrote this package for my own use with two goals in mind:
- Provide a simple process to install
llama.cppand access the full C API inllama.hfrom Python - Provide a high-level Python API that can be used as a drop-in replacement for the OpenAI API so existing apps can be easily ported to use
llama.cpp
Any contributions and changes to this package will be made with these goals in mind.
