prabanta-dev/janas · ★ 566Janas-LLM is a C-based inference engine that runs large mixture-of-experts LLMs (even ones bigger than your RAM) on ordinary laptops, by streaming the experts each token needs from an NVMe SSD and caching the hot ones in memory.
+15kimi-k3-in-c
FareedKhan-dev/kimi-k3-in-c · ★ 9.3KAn inference engine for the 2.78-trillion-parameter Kimi K3 model, written in portable C99. It runs on a plain CPU in as little as 8 GB of RAM — no GPU, no BLAS, no framework — streaming the 1.56 TB checkpoint straight off disk.
