LLamaSharp - .NET Bindings for llama.cpp

The C#/.NET binding of llama.cpp. It provides APIs to inference the LLaMa Models and deploy it on native environment or Web. It works on
both Windows and Linux and does NOT require compiling the library yourself.

• Load and inference LLaMa models
• Simple APIs for chat session
• Quantize the model in C#/.NET
• ASP.NET core integration
• Native UI integration

Installation

Just search LLama in nuget package manager and install it!

PM> Install-Package LLama

Usages

Currently, LLamaSharp provides two kinds of model, LLamaModelV1 and LLamaModel. Both of them works but LLamaModel is more recommended
because it provides better alignment with the master branch of llama.cpp.

Besides, ChatSession makes it easier to wrap your own chat bot. The code below is a simple example. For all examples, please refer to
Examples.

var model = new LLamaModel(new LLamaParams(model: "<Your path>", n_ctx: 512, repeat_penalty: 1.0f));
var session = new ChatSession<LLamaModel>(model).WithPromptFile("<Your prompt file path>")
                .WithAntiprompt(new string[] { "User:" );
Console.Write("\nUser:");
while (true)
{
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.Green;
    var question = Console.ReadLine();
    Console.ForegroundColor = ConsoleColor.White;
    var outputs = session.Chat(question); // It's simple to use the chat API.
    foreach (var output in outputs)
    {
        Console.Write(output);
    }
}

The following example shows how to quantize the model. With LLamaSharp you needn't to compile c++ project and run scripts to quantize the model, instead, just run it in C#.

string srcFilename = "<Your source path>";
string dstFilename = "<Your destination path>";
string ftype = "q4_0";
if(Quantizer.Quantize(srcFileName, dstFilename, ftype))
{
    Console.WriteLine("Quantization succeed!");
}
else
{
    Console.WriteLine("Quantization failed!");
}

Assets

The model weights is too large to include in the project. However some resources could be found below:

• eachadea/ggml-vicuna-13b-1.1
• TheBloke/wizardLM-7B-GGML
• Magnet: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:b8287ebfa04f879b048d4d4404108cf3e8014352&dn=LLaMA

The weights included in the magnet is exactly the weights from Facebook LLaMa.

The prompts could be found below:

• llama.cpp prompts
