Python bindings for the [`ggml`](https://github.com/ggerganov/ggml) tensor library for machine learning.

> ⚠️ Neither this project nor `ggml` currently guarantee backwards-compatibility, if you are using this library in other applications I strongly recommend pinning to specific releases in your `requirements.txt` file.

# Documentation

- [Getting Started](https://ggml-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
- [API Reference](https://ggml-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/)
- [Examples](https://github.com/abetlen/ggml-python/tree/main/examples)

# Installation

Requirements
- Python 3.8+
- C compiler (gcc, clang, msvc, etc)

You can install `ggml-python` using `pip`:

```bash
pip install ggml-python
```

This will compile ggml using cmake which requires a c compiler installed on your system.
To build ggml with specific features (ie. OpenBLAS, GPU Support, etc) you can pass specific cmake options through the `cmake.args` pip install configuration setting. For example to install ggml-python with cuBLAS support you can run:

```bash
pip install --upgrade pip
pip install ggml-python --config-settings=cmake.args='-DGGML_CUDA=ON'
```

## Options

| Option | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `GGML_CUDA` | Enable cuBLAS support | `OFF` |
| `GGML_CLBLAST` | Enable CLBlast support | `OFF` |
| `GGML_OPENBLAS` | Enable OpenBLAS support | `OFF` |
| `GGML_METAL` | Enable Metal support | `OFF` |
| `GGML_RPC` | Enable RPC support | `OFF` |

# Usage

```python
import ggml
import ctypes

# Allocate a new context with 16 MB of memory
params = ggml.ggml_init_params(mem_size=16 * 1024 * 1024, mem_buffer=None)
ctx = ggml.ggml_init(params)

# Instantiate tensors
x = ggml.ggml_new_tensor_1d(ctx, ggml.GGML_TYPE_F32, 1)
a = ggml.ggml_new_tensor_1d(ctx, ggml.GGML_TYPE_F32, 1)
b = ggml.ggml_new_tensor_1d(ctx, ggml.GGML_TYPE_F32, 1)

# Use ggml operations to build a computational graph
x2 = ggml.ggml_mul(ctx, x, x)
f = ggml.ggml_add(ctx, ggml.ggml_mul(ctx, a, x2), b)

gf = ggml.ggml_new_graph(ctx)
ggml.ggml_build_forward_expand(gf, f)

# Set the input values
ggml.ggml_set_f32(x, 2.0)
ggml.ggml_set_f32(a, 3.0)
ggml.ggml_set_f32(b, 4.0)

# Compute the graph
ggml.ggml_graph_compute_with_ctx(ctx, gf, 1)

# Get the output value
output = ggml.ggml_get_f32_1d(f, 0)
assert output == 16.0

# Free the context
ggml.ggml_free(ctx)
```

# Troubleshooting

If you are having trouble installing `ggml-python` or activating specific features please try to install it with the `--verbose` and `--no-cache-dir` flags to get more information about any issues:

```bash
pip install ggml-python --verbose --no-cache-dir --force-reinstall --upgrade
```
