   <p>
      <a href="https://github.com/intel-analytics/BigDL-2.x/"><code><span>bigdl-llm</span></code></a> is a library for running <strong>LLM</strong> (large language model) on Intel <strong>XPU</strong> (from <em>Laptop</em> to <em>GPU</em> to <em>Cloud</em>) using <strong>INT4/FP4/INT8/FP8</strong> with very low latency <sup><a href="#footnote-perf" id="ref-perf">[1]</a></sup> (for any <strong>PyTorch</strong> model).
   </p>

.. note::

   It is built on top of the excellent work of `llama.cpp <https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp>`_, `gptq <https://github.com/IST-DASLab/gptq>`_, `bitsandbytes <https://github.com/TimDettmers/bitsandbytes>`_, `qlora <https://github.com/artidoro/qlora>`_, etc.

   #run the optimized model on Intel CPU
   from transformers import AutoTokenizer
   tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
   input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input_str, ...)
   output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, ...)
   output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output_ids)

--------------------------------------------
GPU Quickstart
--------------------------------------------

.. note::

   ``bigdl-llm`` has been tested on Python 3.9, 3.10 and 3.11

You can then apply INT4 optimizations to any Hugging Face *Transformers* models on Intel GPU as follows.

.. code-block:: python

   #load Hugging Face Transformers model with INT4 optimizations
   from bigdl.llm.transformers import AutoModelForCausalLM
   model = AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained('/path/to/model/', load_in_4bit=True)

   #run the optimized model on Intel GPU
   model = model.to('xpu')

   from transformers import AutoTokenizer
   tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained(model_path)
   input_ids = tokenizer.encode(input_str, ...).to('xpu')
   output_ids = model.generate(input_ids, ...)
   output = tokenizer.batch_decode(output_ids.cpu())
