LLamaSharp
LLamaSharp is a cross-platform C/.NET library designed to run LLaMA, LLaVA, and other large language models efficiently on local devices. Built on the performance heritage of llama.cpp, it enables high-speed inference on both CPU and GPU hardware, making it suitable for desktop and server environments without requiring cloud connectivity. The library provides higher-level APIs to simplify the integration of generative AI into .NET applications. It includes native support for Retrieval Augmented Generation, allowing developers to build conversational agents with access to custom knowledge bases. LLamaSharp offers multiple backend options, including CPU-only, CUDA for NVIDIA GPUs, and Vulkan for broader hardware compatibility. The ecosystem extends with dedicated packages for Microsoft Semantic Kernel integration and Kernel Memory, facilitating advanced AI service development. The software supports multimodal capabilities for image understanding and text generation. It is distributed via NuGet, ensuring easy in
