MLC LLM

What is MLC LLM?

MLC LLM is a machine learning compiler and high-performance deployment engine for running large language models (LLMs). Its goal is to make it possible for anyone to develop, fine-tune, and deploy AI models on their own devices and platforms. Code is compiled and run through MLCEngine, a unified LLM inference engine that offers an OpenAI-compatible API accessible from a REST server, Python scripts, JavaScript in the browser, or directly on iOS and Android devices.

MLC LLM lets you run popular language models like Llama and RedPajama natively on a wide range of hardware, including mobile devices (iOS and Android), Windows, Linux, Mac, and web browsers. Developers get detailed documentation with installation steps and a quick start guide.

For non-developers, MLC LLM provides ready-to-use apps for common tasks like chatting with AI, getting writing help, or analyzing text. Free demo versions are available for mobile and desktop, and the MLCChat app can be downloaded from the iOS and Android app stores.

Who created MLC LLM?
