| # llama-cpp-python — Free-Tier Friendly Wheel | |
| This Space provides a **prebuilt `llama-cpp-python` wheel** designed to work | |
| **reliably on Hugging Face Free tier Spaces**. | |
| No compilation. No system packages. No build failures. | |
| If your Space crashes during `pip install llama-cpp-python`, this wheel is the fix. | |
| --- | |
| ## Optimized for Hugging Face Free Tier | |
| Hugging Face Free tier Spaces are: | |
| - CPU-only | |
| - Limited in memory | |
| - Not suitable for native compilation | |
| This wheel is built **ahead of time** so it can be installed instantly without | |
| triggering CMake, compilers, or BLAS detection. | |
| --- | |
| ## What this wheel gives you | |
| - ✅ Works on **HF Free tier CPU Spaces** | |
| - ✅ Linux (ubuntu-22.04 compatible) | |
| - ✅ Python 3.10 | |
| - ✅ OpenBLAS enabled (`GGML_BLAS=ON`) | |
| - ✅ No system dependencies required | |
| - ✅ No build step during Space startup | |
| - ✅ Fast, reliable `pip install` | |

| ## How to use in a Space (Free tier) | |
| 1. Download the wheel from the GitHub repository | |
| 2. Upload it to your Space | |
| 3. Install it in your Space startup: | |
| pip install llama_cpp_python-*.whl> | |
| ## That’s it — your Space will start without build errors. | |
| ## Build details | |
| This wheel was built using: | |
| abetlen/llama-cpp-python (recursive submodules) | |
| OpenBLAS (GGML_VENDOR=OpenBLAS) | |
| scikit-build-core | |
| ninja | |
| python -m build --wheel --no-isolation | |
| ## Build environment: | |
| OS: Ubuntu 22.04 | |
| Python: 3.10 | |
| ## Why not build from source on HF? | |
| On Free tier Spaces, building from source often fails due to: | |
| Missing compilers | |
| Missing BLAS libraries | |
| Memory limits | |
| Build timeouts | |
| This prebuilt wheel avoids all of those issues. | |
| ## Notes | |
| CPU-only (no CUDA) | |
| Intended for inference workloads | |
| Not an official upstream release | |
| ## Credits | |
| All credit goes to the maintainers of llama-cpp-python and llama.cpp. | |
| This Space exists solely to make Free tier usage painless. |
