llama.cpp sees massive speed boost for Intel XMX engines

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A pull request to the llama.cpp project has significantly improved speculative decoding speeds for large language models on Intel XMX matrix engines. The refactoring, contributed by user budiony, resulted in a substantial increase in tokens per second, with some tasks showing nearly double the performance. This optimization specifically benefits models like the B70 running with SYCL, enhancing their efficiency for local inference. AI

IMPACT Improves inference speed for local LLM deployments on Intel hardware.
