llamafile is a framework that allows AI developers to distribute and run LLMs (Large Language Models) with a single file. It aims to achieve the “build once anywhere, run anywhere” dream by combining llama.cpp with Cosmopolitan Libc. This framework offers several benefits, such as the ability to run on multiple CPU microarchitectures and CPU architectures, compatibility with multiple operating systems, and the ability to embed weights within the llamafile. Additionally, the content provides instructions for building llamafile from source and highlights the technical details and challenges involved in creating this executable format, including GPU support and architecture portability. It concludes with information about licensing and known issues.
