Why it matters

Useful for AI engineers, ML engineers, Rust developers, on-device LLM researchers, indie hackers, and developers on CPU-only hardware (Apple Silicon Macs without dedicated GPU memory, AMD Ryzen, Intel Threadripper, Raspberry Pi 4/5) who want a pure-Rust CPU-only implementation of a real model that runs at interactive speeds without a GPU, because maximecb/bebelm is an MIT pure-Rust CPU-only implem
