| # 🏭 llama-cpp-python Mega-Factory Wheels |
|
|
| > **"Stop waiting for `pip` to compile. Just install and run."** |
|
|
| The most complete collection of pre-built `llama-cpp-python` wheels in existence — **8,333 wheels** across every platform, Python version, backend, and CPU optimization level. |
|
|
| No more `cmake`, `gcc`, or compilation hell. No more waiting 10 minutes for a build that might fail. Just find your wheel and `pip install` it directly. |
|

|
|
| ## 🚀 Why These Wheels? |
|
|
| Standard wheels target the "lowest common denominator" to avoid crashes on old hardware. This collection goes further — the manylinux wheels are built using a massive **Everything Preset** targeting specific CPU instruction sets, maximizing your **Tokens per Second (T/s)**. |
|
|
| - **Zero Dependencies:** No `cmake`, `gcc`, or `nvcc` required on your target machine. |
| - **Every Platform:** Linux (manylinux, aarch64, i686, RISC-V), Windows (amd64, 32-bit), macOS (Intel + Apple Silicon). |
| - **Server-Grade Power:** Optimized builds for `Sapphire Rapids`, `Ice Lake`, `Alder Lake`, `Haswell`, and more. |
| - **Full Backend Support:** `OpenBLAS`, `MKL`, `Vulkan`, `CLBlast`, `OpenCL`, `RPC`, and plain CPU builds. |
| - **Cutting Edge:** Python `3.8` through experimental `3.14`, plus PyPy `pp38`–`pp310`. |
| - **GPU Too:** CUDA wheels (cu121–cu124) and macOS Metal wheels included. |

| ## 📁 Wheel Naming Convention |
| |
| ### manylinux wheels (custom-built) |
| |
| ``` |
| llama_cpp_python-{version}+{backend}_{profile}-{pytag}-{pytag}-{platform}.whl |

| |
| **Versions covered:** `0.3.0` through `0.3.18+` |
| |
| **Backends:** |
| |
| | Backend | Description | |
| |:---|:---| |
| | `openblas` | OpenBLAS BLAS acceleration — best general-purpose CPU performance | |
| | `mkl` | Intel MKL acceleration — best on Intel CPUs | |
| | `basic` | No BLAS, maximum compatibility | |
| | `vulkan` | Vulkan GPU backend | |
| | `clblast` | CLBlast OpenCL GPU backend | |
| | `opencl` | Generic OpenCL GPU backend | |
| | `rpc` | Distributed inference over network | |

| |
| ### Windows / macOS / Linux ARM wheels (from abetlen) |
| |
| ``` |
| llama_cpp_python-{version}-{pytag}-{pytag}-{platform}.whl |
| ``` |
| |
| These are the official pre-built wheels from the upstream maintainer, covering versions `0.2.82` through `0.3.18+`. |
| |
| --- |
| |
| ## 🔍 How to Find Your Wheel |
| |
| 1. **Identify your Python version:** `python --version` → e.g. `3.11` → tag `cp311` |
| 2. **Identify your platform:** |
| - Linux x86\_64 → `manylinux_2_31_x86_64` |
| - Windows 64-bit → `win_amd64` |
| - macOS Apple Silicon → `macosx_11_0_arm64` |
| - macOS Intel → `macosx_10_9_x86_64` |
| 3. **Pick a backend** (manylinux only): `openblas` for most use cases |
| 4. **Pick a CPU profile** (manylinux only): `haswell` works on virtually all modern CPUs |
| 5. **Browse the files** in this repo or construct the filename directly |

|
|
| ### manylinux Wheels — Built by AIencoder |
| The 4,940 manylinux x86\_64 wheels were built by a distributed **4-worker HuggingFace Space factory** system (`AIencoder/wheel-factory-*`) — a custom-built automated pipeline covering every possible llama.cpp cmake option on manylinux: |
| - Every backend: OpenBLAS, MKL, Basic, Vulkan, CLBlast, OpenCL, RPC |
| - Every CPU hardware profile from baseline x86-64 up to Sapphire Rapids AMX |
| - Python 3.8 through 3.14 |
| - llama-cpp-python versions 0.3.0 through 0.3.18+ |
| |
| ### Windows / macOS / Linux ARM Wheels — abetlen |
| The remaining 3,393 wheels (Windows, macOS, Linux aarch64/i686/riscv64, PyPy) were sourced from the official releases by **Andrei Betlen ([@abetlen](https://github.com/abetlen))**, the original author and maintainer of `llama-cpp-python`. These include: |
| - CPU wheels for all platforms via `https://abetlen.github.io/llama-cpp-python/whl/cpu/` |
| - Metal wheels for macOS GPU acceleration |
| - CUDA wheels (cu121–cu124) for Windows and Linux |

| ## 📝 Notes |
| |
| - All wheels are **MIT licensed** (same as llama-cpp-python upstream) |
| - manylinux wheels require **glibc 2.31+** (Ubuntu 20.04+, Debian 11+) |
| - `manylinux` and `linux_x86_64` are **not the same thing** — manylinux wheels have broad distro compatibility, plain linux wheels do not |
| - CUDA wheels require the matching CUDA toolkit to be installed |
| - Metal wheels require macOS 11.0+ and an Apple Silicon or AMD GPU |
| - This collection is updated periodically as new versions are released |
