## Whisper inference (example)

With ggml you can efficiently run [Whisper](examples/whisper) inference on the CPU.

Memory requirements:

| Model  | Disk   | Mem     |
| ---    | ---    | ---     |
| tiny   |  75 MB | ~280 MB |
| base   | 142 MB | ~430 MB |
| small  | 466 MB | ~1.0 GB |
| medium | 1.5 GB | ~2.6 GB |
| large  | 2.9 GB | ~4.7 GB |

## GPT inference (example)

With ggml you can efficiently run [GPT-2](examples/gpt-2) and [GPT-J](examples/gpt-j) inference on the CPU.

Here is how to run the example programs:

```bash
# Build ggml + examples
git clone https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml
cd ggml
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make -j4 gpt-2 gpt-j

# Run the GPT-2 small 117M model
../examples/gpt-2/download-ggml-model.sh 117M
./bin/gpt-2 -m models/gpt-2-117M/ggml-model.bin -p "This is an example"

# Run the GPT-J 6B model (requires 12GB disk space and 16GB CPU RAM)
../examples/gpt-j/download-ggml-model.sh 6B
./bin/gpt-j -m models/gpt-j-6B/ggml-model.bin -p "This is an example"

# Install Python dependencies
python3 -m pip install -r ../requirements.txt

# Run the Cerebras-GPT 111M model
# Download from: https://huggingface.co/cerebras
python3 ../examples/gpt-2/convert-cerebras-to-ggml.py /path/to/Cerebras-GPT-111M/
./bin/gpt-2 -m /path/to/Cerebras-GPT-111M/ggml-model-f16.bin -p "This is an example"
```

The inference speeds that I get for the different models on my 32GB MacBook M1 Pro are as follows:

| Model | Size  | Time / Token |
| ---   | ---   | ---    |
| GPT-2 |  117M |   5 ms |
| GPT-2 |  345M |  12 ms |
| GPT-2 |  774M |  23 ms |
| GPT-2 | 1558M |  42 ms |
| ---   | ---   | ---    |
| GPT-J |    6B | 125 ms |

For more information, checkout the corresponding programs in the [examples](examples) folder.

## Using Metal (only with GPT-2)

For GPT-2 models, offloading to GPU is possible. Note that it will not improve inference performances but will reduce power consumption and free up the CPU for other tasks.

To enable GPU offloading on MacOS:

```bash
cmake -DGGML_METAL=ON -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=Off ..

# add -ngl 1
./bin/gpt-2 -t 4 -ngl 100 -m models/gpt-2-117M/ggml-model.bin -p "This is an example"
```

## Using cuBLAS

```bash
# fix the path to point to your CUDA compiler
cmake -DGGML_CUBLAS=ON -DCMAKE_CUDA_COMPILER=/usr/local/cuda-12.1/bin/nvcc ..
```

## Using clBLAST

```bash
cmake -DGGML_CLBLAST=ON ..
```
