Koboldcpp v1.118 Released with Local LLM Inference Improvements
Koboldcpp version 1.118 has been released, bringing new updates and performance improvements to the popular local LLM inference engine. This update enhances a widely-used tool in the local AI community, allowing developers and hobbyists to run large language models more efficiently on their own hardware. Koboldcpp is a self-contained tool that supports GGUF and GGML model formats, featuring a built-in web interface, a text-based API, and command-line options like quantized KV cache.
## BACKGROUND
An LLM inference engine is software that loads model weights to generate text responses from user inputs. Koboldcpp simplifies this process for local deployment, providing an easy-to-use interface inspired by KoboldAI.
