Infero

Overview

A streamlined and user-friendly library designed for performing local LLM inference directly through your preferred programming language. This library efficiently loads LLMs in GGUF format into CPU or GPU memory, utilizing a CUDA backend for enhanced processing speed.

Installation

• Download Infero and extract it to your preferred location.
• Acquire a GGUF model from Hugging Face, ensuring compatibility with llama.cpp. Reference the MODELS.txt for supported models.
• The application utilizes CUDA for enhanced performance on supported GPUs. In the absence of a CUDA-enabled GPU, computation defaults to the CPU. Ensure the model size does not exceed the available system resources, considering the requisite memory.
• Consult the installdir\examples directory for demonstrations on integrating Infero with your programming language.
• Include the following DLLs in your project distribution: cublas64_12.dll, cublasLt64_12.dll, cudart64_12.dll, llama.dll, and Infero.dll.
• Infero API supports integration across programming languages that accommodate Win64 and Unicode, with out-of-the-box support for Pascal (Delphi/FreePascal) and C/C++ (C++Builder, Visual Studio 2022).
• Ship-ready DLLs are included in the repository; however, if there is a need to rebuild the Infero.dll, Delphi 12.1 is required.
• This project is developed using RAD Studio 12.1, on Windows 11, powered by an Intel Core i5-12400F at 2500 MHz with 6 cores (12 logical), equipped with 36GB RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 3060 GPU with 12GB RAM.
• We encourage testing and welcome pull requests.
• If you find this project beneficial, please consider starring the repository, sponsoring, or promoting it. Your support is invaluable and highly appreciated.

Examples

Delphi example:

uses
  System.SysUtils,
  Infero;

begin
  // init
  if not Infero_Init('config.json', nil) then
    Exit;
  try
    // add message
    Infero_AddMessage(ROLE_SYSTEM, 'You are a helpful AI assistant');
    Infero_AddMessage(ROLE_USER, 'What is AI?');
    
    // do inference
    if Infero_Inference('phi3', 1024, nil, nil, nil) then
    begin
      // success
    end
  else
    begin
      // error
    end;
  finally
    Infero_Quit();
  end;
end.

C/CPP Example

#include <Infero.h>

int main()
{
    // init config
    Infero_InitConfig("config.json", nil);

    // add message
    Infero_AddMessage(ROLE_SYSTEM, "You are a helpful AI assistant");
    Infero_AddMessage(ROLE_USER, "What is AI?");

    // do inference
    if (Infero_Inference("phi34", 1024, NULL, NULL, NULL)
    {
        // success
    }
    else
    {
        // error
        return 1;
    };
    
    Infero_Quit();

    return 0;
}
