Clover-35B-A3B diffusion model integrated with llama.cpp for local use

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The Clover-35B-A3B-Preview model, a diffusion language model, has been integrated into llama.cpp, a popular tool for running models locally. Initial tests on an RTX 4090 showed a speed of 202-211 tokens per second, with a full context window requiring nearly 22 GB of memory. Challenges were encountered with the model's file format, requiring a patch to correctly load and process the weights, which are structured differently from traditional autoregressive models. AI

IMPACT Enables local execution of diffusion language models, potentially improving performance and accessibility for users with specific hardware.

RANK_REASON Integration of a specific model (Clover-35B-A3B-Preview) into an existing open-source tool (llama.cpp) for local execution.

    Clover-35B-A3B on llama.cpp: what "AR mode only" means, and a GGUF that answers in Gs

    <p>Four words in a pull request decide how fast DiffuSpace's Clover-35B-A3B-Preview runs on your card: "in AR mode only." It added Clover to llama.cpp, the free program many people use to run models locally. AR (autoregressive) means the model emits one token, a word piece, then …
