Llamafile

Mozilla's Llamafile allows distributing and running large language models (LLMs) as a single file. Llamafile aims to make open-source LLMs more accessible to developers and users. Llamafile supports a variety of models, CPUs and GPUs, and other options.

To run this test with the Phoronix Test Suite, the basic command is: phoronix-test-suite benchmark llamafile.

Performance Metrics

Llamafile 0.8.16

Model: mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q5_K_M - Test: Text Generation 16

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 61 public results since 5 December 2024 with the latest data as of 20 December 2024.

Below is an overview of the generalized performance for components where there is sufficient statistically significant data based upon user-uploaded results. It is important to keep in mind particularly in the Linux/open-source space there can be vastly different OS configurations, with this overview intended to offer just general guidance as to the performance expectations.

Based on OpenBenchmarking.org data, the selected test / test configuration (Llamafile 0.8.16 - Model: mistral-7b-instruct-v0.2.Q5_K_M - Test: Text Generation 16) has an average run-time of 2 minutes. By default this test profile is set to run at least 3 times but may increase if the standard deviation exceeds pre-defined defaults or other calculations deem additional runs necessary for greater statistical accuracy of the result.

Based on public OpenBenchmarking.org results, the selected test / test configuration has an average standard deviation of 0.2%.
