PyTorch has a native llm solution It supports all the LLama models. It supports CPU, MPS and CUDA https://github.com/pytorch/torchchat Getting 4.5 tokens a second using 3.1 8B full precision using CPU only on my M1

Seems like torchchat is exactly what the author was looking for.

Torchchat also provides some quantization options so you can reduce the model size to fit into memory.
