Highlights

  • Initial release of llama.cpp inference containers on Amazon Linux 2023.
  • Serves quantized GGUF models through the upstream llama-server OpenAI-compatible API (/v1/chat/completions, /v1/completions, /v1/embeddings, /v1/models).
  • Three hardware targets: x86 CPU, x86 NVIDIA GPU (CUDA 13.0.2), and AWS Graviton (ARM64) CPU — each in an EC2 and an Amazon SageMaker AI flavor (port 8080).
  • The x86 CPU image bundles every microarchitecture backend (SSE4.2 → AVX-512/AMX) with runtime dispatch, and the Graviton image is tuned for Neoverse-V1.
  • Amazon SageMaker AI images front llama-server with nginx (/ping/health, /invocations/v1/chat/completions) and are configured via SM_LLAMA_CPP_* environment variables.
  • Built from upstream llama.cpp with LLAMA_CURL=ON for direct HuggingFace model downloads. llama-cli and llama-bench are included too.
  • Built on Python 3.12.
