The ik_llama.cpp repository is an improved fork of llama.cpp, featuring enhanced CPU matrix multiplication implementations for both AVX2 and ARM_NEON, leading to significant performance boosts especially in prompt processing and token generation. This fork also supports efficient inference for MoE models and the Bitnet b1.58 model, showing remarkable speed ups compared to the original llama.cpp. This increases viability of running large models on CPUs instead of costly GPUs.
