Integrating LLama.cpp with Elixir using Rustler
The content focuses on Jason Stiebs' experimentation with combining Elixir and the Rust wrapper for LLama.CPP, a project designed to run LLM applications on GPUs. The author outlines how to set up a new Elixir library designed to interface with the rust-llama-cpp Rust library through Rustler. The guide covers initial scaffolding using mix and Cargo, implementing necessary Rust functions like 'LLama::new' and 'llama.predict', and setting up Rustler Resources for managing memory and interactions with the BEAM virtual machine. The process involves stubbing out the Rustler code, defining Rust resources to hold onto native types, and then updating the Rust functions to interface correctly with Elixir. An example use case and output demonstrate the LLama library's ability to generate a poem based on a given prompt, showcasing how Elixir and Rust can interoperate efficiently. The author also mentions their work on the project at a GitHub repository and invites contributions.
