What it does

Little-coder is a tool that helps optimize and harness smaller Large Language Models (LLMs) for more efficient use, particularly suitable for resource-constrained environments.

Install / run

Clone the repository from GitHub using `git clone https://github.com/itayinbarr/little-coder.git`

When to use it

•When you need to deploy LLMs on devices or platforms with limited computational resources.
•When optimizing the size and performance of LLMs is crucial for your application.
•When you're looking for a way to make your LLM-based application more energy-efficient and cost-effective.

Quick start

1Navigate into the cloned repository with `cd little-coder`.
2Review and modify the configuration as necessary in files like `config.ts` to suit your specific LLM optimization needs.
3Compile the TypeScript code with `tsc` to generate JavaScript files that can be executed.
4Execute the optimized LLM harness with a command similar to `node dist/index.js`, assuming you've compiled the TypeScript code successfully.
5Monitor the output and adjust the configuration or the code as needed to achieve the desired level of optimization.

Ready-to-paste prompt

To optimize a specific LLM model, you might use a command like `node dist/index.js --model-path=/path/to/your/model --output-path=/path/to/optimized/model`

Heads up: Ensure you have a compatible version of Node.js installed, as little-coder is built with TypeScript and relies on Node.js for execution, and some features might require specific versions of dependencies or TypeScript itself.
