This single-header C++ implementation has become the most popular tool for running LLMs locally, democratizing access to AI computation across virtually every hardware configuration.</p> <p>Created by Georgi Gerganov, llama.cpp started as a focused implementation of Meta&rsquo;s Llama architecture and has since grown into a universal inference engine supporting hundreds of model architectures, multiple backends (CPU, CUDA, Metal, ROCm, Vulkan), and a rich ecosystem of tools and integrations.</p>
