litert-community/SmolLM-135M-Instruct

This model provides a few variants of HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM-135M-Instruct that are ready for deployment on Android using the LiteRT (fka TFLite) stack and MediaPipe LLM Inference API.

Use the models

Colab

Disclaimer: The target deployment surface for the LiteRT models is Android/iOS/Web and the stack has been optimized for performance on these targets. Trying out the system in Colab is an easier way to familiarize yourself with the LiteRT stack, with the caveat that the performance (memory and latency) on Colab could be much worse than on a local device.

Android

• Download and install the apk.
• Follow the instructions in the app.

To build the demo app from source, please follow the instructions from the GitHub repository.

Performance

Android

Note that all benchmark stats are from a Samsung S24 Ultra with 1280 KV cache size with multiple prefill signatures enabled.

	Backend	Context length	Prefill (tokens/sec)	Decode (tokens/sec)	Time-to-first-token (sec)	Memory (RSS in MB)	Model size (MB)
fp32 (baseline)	cpu	1280	498.05 tk/s	47.96 tk/s	0.78 s	931 MB	527 MB
dynamic_int8	cpu	1280	1084.75 tk/s	43.50 tk/s	0.46 s	579 MB	159 MB

• Model Size: measured by the size of the .tflite flatbuffer (serialization format for LiteRT models)
• Memory: indicator of peak RAM usage
• The inference on CPU is accelerated via the LiteRT XNNPACK delegate with 4 threads
• Benchmark is run with cache enabled and initialized. During the first run, the time to first token may differ.
• dynamic_int4: quantized model with int4 weights and float activations.
• dynamic_int8: quantized model with int8 weights and float activations.
