Hey hey!
Opening this PR to add the ability to ship prebuilt mac binaries for llama.cpp.
The way we create the binaries is quite simple we do so with the
-DLLAMA_METAL_EMBED_LIBRARY=ON
flag. We've tested this on an Intel Mac, M1, M2, & M3.Shipping prebuilt metal binaries would significantly reduce the barrier of entry for the llama.cpp users.
Eventually, this would lead to an addition of llama.cpp in brew as well, which would allow the users to do
brew install llama.cpp
- even further reducing the friction.Note: This work was done by @Narsil and I'm merely just upstreaming his work. Thanks Nicolas ❤️
