From clone to first tokens.
No Python runtime, no server to stand up. Clone the workspace, run the tests, and generate on CPU. GPU acceleration is on the roadmap; everything here works today.
-
Clone and type-check
Grab the workspace and let cargo verify it compiles cleanly.
git clone https://github.com/cognisoc/unillm.git cd unillm cargo check -
Run the tests
The workspace ships 201 passing tests. Running them confirms your toolchain is set up.
cargo test --workspace -
Generate text on CPU
Generate from TinyLlama. The ~600 MB GGUF downloads on first run; inference runs on CPU today.
cargo run --bin unillm -p unillm-runtime -- \ generate --prompt "Explain gravity" -
Embed it in your service
Load weights, build a Model, and call generate() straight from your own Rust — no Python server in the loop.
let weights = WeightLoader::auto_detect("model.gguf")?; let model = Model::from_weights(weights, Device::Cpu)?; let text = model.generate("Hello", 128)?;
What to expect
Inference runs on CPU. LLaMA-family models load from GGUF and generate end to end. The other architectures are unit-tested and validated as real weights come online. See the ROADMAP for an honest snapshot, or the architecture page for how the pieces fit.
