Automating llamacpp parameters for optimal inference?

Key Points

  • The post asks whether llamacpp parameter optimization can be automated to maximize inference speed, specifically for prompt processing and token generation.
  • It notes that llama-bench can be cumbersome to use for this task.
  • It mentions using llama-fit-params to identify an optimal split of models across GPUs and RAM, but llama-bench lacks integration with llama-fit-params.
  • It expresses the desire for a more flexible approach or tooling to automate the optimization process when adjusting the context window size.

Is there a way to automate optimization of llamacpp arguments for fastest inference (prompt processing and token generation speed) ?

Maybe I just haven’t figured it out, but llama-bench seems cumbersome to use. I usually rely on llama-fit-params to help identify the best split of models across my GPUs and RAM, but llama-bench doesn’t have llama-fit-params. And while I can paste in the results of llama-fit-params into llama-bench, it’s a pain to have to adjust it for when I adjust context window size.

Wondering if anyone has found a more flexible way to go about all this
