# llm-tool
See various READMEs:
- [LLM](../../Libraries/LLM/README.md)
### Building
Build the `llm-tool` scheme in Xcode.
### Running (Xcode)
To run this in Xcode simply press cmd-opt-r to set the scheme arguments. For example:
```
--model mlx-community/Mistral-7B-v0.1-hf-4bit-mlx
--prompt "swift programming language"
--max-tokens 50
```
Then cmd-r to run.
> Note: you may be prompted for access to your Documents directory -- this is where
the Hugging Face HubApi stores the downloaded files.
The model should be a path in the Hugging Face repository, e.g.:
- `mlx-community/Mistral-7B-v0.1-hf-4bit-mlx`
- `mlx-community/phi-2-hf-4bit-mlx`
See [LLM](../../Libraries/LLM/README.md) for more info.
### Running (Command Line)
`llm-tool` can also be run from the command line if built from Xcode, but
the `DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH` must be set so that the frameworks and bundles can be found:
- [MLX troubleshooting](https://ml-explore.github.io/mlx-swift/MLX/documentation/mlx/troubleshooting)
The easiest way to do this is drag the Products/llm-tool into Terminal to get the path:
```
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/mlx-examples-swift-ceuohnhzsownvsbbleukxoksddja/Build/Products/Debug ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/mlx-examples-swift-ceuohnhzsownvsbbleukxoksddja/Build/Products/Debug/llm-tool --prompt "swift programming language"
```
### Troubleshooting
If the program crashes with a very deep stack trace you may need to build
in Release configuration. This seems to depend on the size of the model.
There are a couple options:
- build Release
- force the model evaluation to run on the main thread, e.g. using @MainActor
- build `Cmlx` with optimizations by modifying `mlx/Package.swift` and adding `.unsafeOptions(["-O3"]),` around line 87
Building in Release / optimizations will remove a lot of tail calls in the C++
layer. These lead to the stack overflows.
