bloomz.cpp (via) Nouamane Tazi Adapted the llama.cpp project to run against the BLOOM family of language models, which were released in July 2022 and trained in France on 45 natural languages and 12 programming languages using the Jean Zay Public Supercomputer, provided by the French government and powered using mostly nuclear energy.
It’s under the RAIL license which allows (limited) commercial use, unlike LLaMA.
Nouamane reports getting 16 tokens/second from BLOOMZ-7B1 running on an M1 Pro laptop.
