bitnet-cpp-sys

Raw bindings to bitnet.cpp.

See bitnet-cpp for a safe API.

Development

Atomic git patches are incorporated into the build.rs, but if you want to dive deeper, see the patch generation below.

cargo clean && cargo build

Apply patches from the python generation:

./patches/apply.sh

Generate python changes:

cd bitnet
pip install -r requirements.txt
python setup_env.py --hf-repo HF1BitLLM/Llama3-8B-1.58-100B-tokens -q i2_s

Create patches after you're done generating python changes:

./patches/create.sh

Clean git commits from submodules to start over or run commits:

./patches/clean.sh

# this won't build without cleaning first, though normal cargo build works as is.
cargo clean && BUILD_DEBUG=true CMAKE_VERBOSE=true cargo build

Check which files will be included in the published crate:

cargo package --list --allow-dirty

Do a dry run:

cargo publish --allow-dirty --dry-run

Or you can simply remove bitnet/3rdparty/llama.cpp/common/build-info.cpp and run:

cargo publish --dry-run
