internlm/internlm2_5-20b-chat · Enhancing Accessibility and Market Reach through llama.cpp Support

Dear InternLM Team,

I hope this message finds you well. As we continue to push the boundaries of language model development, I would like to bring to your attention a crucial aspect that can significantly impact the adoption and popularity of your Large Language Models (LLMs). While achieving impressive benchmarks is indeed a remarkable accomplishment, it is equally essential to ensure that your models are accessible and usable by a broader audience.

In the lower market segment, where your LLMs are likely to have the most significant impact, the preferred method of running LLMs is through llama.cpp. This tool has become a de facto standard for many developers and users in this space. However, I noticed that your models currently lack support in llama.cpp.

I strongly recommend that the team allocates some effort to adding support in llama.cpp. By doing so, you will significantly enhance the accessibility and usability of your LLMs, making them more attractive to a wider range of users. This, in turn, will increase the likelihood of your models gaining popularity and widespread adoption.

In today's competitive landscape, it is not enough to simply have impressive benchmarks. To truly succeed, you must also prioritize the needs and preferences of your users. By supporting llama.cpp, you will demonstrate your commitment to making your LLMs usable by the people who need them most.

Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact that llama.cpp support will have on your LLMs.

Best regards,

Charles McSneed
