GGUF format
GGUF is a binary serialization format designed for efficient inference and distribution of large language models (LLMs). It is optimized for single-file distribution and high-performance loading.
Ecosystem & Compatibility
- Hardware Backends: Optimized for execution across cpu, GPU, and NPU architectures.
- Software Integration:
- Supported by nexa-sdk for private, local AI execution.
- Interoperable with MLX in specific deployment environments.
- Core format for ecosystems including llamacpp and ollama.
