4 Steps in Running LLaMA-7B on a M1 MacBook

The large language models usability

The problem with large language models is that you can’t run these locally on your laptop. Thanks to Georgi Gerganov and his llama.cpp project, it is now possible to run Meta’s LLaMA on a single computer without a dedicated GPU.

Running LLaMA

There are multiple steps involved in running LLaMA locally on a M1 Mac after downloading the model weights.

Display improvements for the Corne-ish Zen keyboard

This note details the changes made to the Zen and ZMK codebase to improve the experience of e-ink displays.

Important

macOS 10.15 System Preference Panes

Below are a list of System Preference pane URLs and paths that can be accessed with scripting to assist users with enabling macOS security settings without having to walk them through launching System Preferences, finding panes, and scrolling to settings. Not all panes have an accessible anchor and some are OS specific.

To find the Pane ID of a specific pane, open the System Preferences app and select the desired Preference Pane. With the pane selected, open the ScriptEditor.app and run the following script to copy the current Pane ID to your clipboard and display any available anchors:

tell application "System Preferences"
	set CurrentPane to the id of the current pane
	set the clipboard to CurrentPane

This gist will no longer be updated as the changelog will be on the official website.
