# πŸ¦™ Jlama: A modern LLM inference engine for Java


Cute Jlama

## πŸš€ Features

Model Support:
* Gemma Models
* Llama & Llama2 & Llama3 Models
* Mistral & Mixtral Models
* GPT-2 Models
* BERT Models
* BPE Tokenizers
* WordPiece Tokenizers

Implements:
* Paged Attention
* Mixture of Experts
* Tool Calling
* Generate Embeddings
* Classifier Support
* Huggingface [SafeTensors](https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors) model and tokenizer format
* Support for F32, F16, BF16 types
* Support for Q8, Q4 model quantization
* Fast GEMM operations
* Distributed Inference!

Jlama requires Java 20 or later and utilizes the new [Vector API](https://openjdk.org/jeps/448)
for faster inference.

## πŸ€” What is it used for?

Add LLM Inference directly to your Java application.

## πŸ”¬ Quick Start

### πŸ•΅οΈβ€β™€οΈ How to use as a local client (with jbang!)
Jlama includes a command line tool that makes it easy to use.

The CLI can be run with [jbang](https://www.jbang.dev/download/).

```shell
#Install jbang (or https://www.jbang.dev/download/)
curl -Ls https://sh.jbang.dev | bash -s - app setup

#Install Jlama CLI (will ask if you trust the source)
jbang app install --force jlama@tjake

```

Now that you have jlama installed you can download a model from huggingface and chat with it.
Note I have pre-quantized models available at https://hf.co/tjake

```shell
# Download a small model (defaults to ./models)
jlama download tjake/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-Jlama-Q4

# Run the openai chat api and UI on this model
jlama restapi models/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-Jlama-Q4
```

open browser to http://localhost:8080/


Demo chat

```shell
Usage: jlama [COMMAND]
Jlama is a modern LLM inference engine for Java!

Quantized models are maintained at https://hf.co/tjake

Commands:
download Downloads a HuggingFace model - use owner/name format
quantize Quantize the specified model
chat Interact with the specified model
complete Completes a prompt using the specified model
restapi Starts a openai compatible rest api for interacting with this model
cluster-coordinator Starts a distributed rest api for a model using cluster workers
cluster-worker Connects to a cluster coordinator to perform distributed inference
```

### πŸ‘¨β€πŸ’» How to use in your Java project
The main purpose of Jlama is to provide a simple way to use large language models in Java.

The simplest way to embed Jlama in your app is with the [Langchain4j Integration](https://github.com/langchain4j/langchain4j-examples/tree/main/jlama-examples).

If you would like to embed Jlama without langchain4j, add the following [maven](https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.github.tjake/jlama-core/) dependencies to your project:

```xml

com.github.tjake
jlama-core
${jlama.version}

com.github.tjake
jlama-native

${os.detected.name}-${os.detected.arch}
${jlama.version}

```

Then you can use the Model classes to run models:

```java
public void sample() throws IOException {
String model = "tjake/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-Jlama-Q4";
String workingDirectory = "./models";

String prompt = "What is the best season to plant avocados?";

// Downloads the model or just returns the local path if it's already downloaded
File localModelPath = SafeTensorSupport.maybeDownloadModel(workingDirectory, model);

// Loads the quantized model and specified use of quantized memory
AbstractModel m = ModelSupport.loadModel(localModelPath, DType.F32, DType.I8);

PromptContext ctx;
// Checks if the model supports chat prompting and adds prompt in the expected format for this model
if (m.promptSupport().isPresent()) {
ctx = m.promptSupport()
.get()
.builder()
.addSystemMessage("You are a helpful chatbot who writes short responses.")
.addUserMessage(prompt)
.build();
} else {
ctx = PromptContext.of(prompt);
}

System.out.println("Prompt: " + ctx.getPrompt() + "\n");
// Generates a response to the prompt and prints it
// The api allows for streaming or non-streaming responses
// The response is generated with a temperature of 0.7 and a max token length of 256
Generator.Response r = m.generate(UUID.randomUUID(), ctx, 0.0f, 256, (s, f) -> {});
System.out.println(r.responseText);
}
```

## ⭐ Give us a Star!

If you like or are using this project to build your own, please give us a star. It's a free way to show your support.

## πŸ—ΊοΈ Roadmap

* Support more and more models
* Add pure java tokenizers
* Support Quantization (e.g. k-quantization)
* Add LoRA support
* GraalVM support
* Add distributed inference
