Intel Extension for PyTorch LLM
StaleDescription
Accelerate local LLM inference and finetuning on Intel XPU. Supports LLaMA, Mistral, Qwen, DeepSeek and more. Seamlessly integrates with LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other agent frameworks.
Key Features
- Intel open-source LLM acceleration library supporting efficient inference on Intel GPU (Arc/Flex/Max), NPU, and CPU
- Supports 70+ mainstream models including LLaMA, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral with low-bit (FP8/FP6/FP4/INT4) quantization
- Seamless integration with llama.cpp, Ollama, vLLM, LangChain, LlamaIndex, and other mainstream frameworks
- FlashMoE technology: run DeepSeek V3/R1 671B models with just 1-2 Intel Arc GPUs
- Provides Ollama and llama.cpp portable zips for zero-installation running on Intel GPUs
- Supports HuggingFace PEFT/TRL finetuning and complete training ecosystem including Axolotl
