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.

Analyze Test Configuration:

Llamafile 0.8.16

Model: TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0.BF16 - Test: Text Generation 128

OpenBenchmarking.org metrics for this test profile configuration based on 74 public results since 5 December 2024 with the latest data as of 30 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.
