oxicuda-lm 0.1.0

Large language model inference primitives for OxiCUDA: BPE tokenizer, transformer layers with KV cache, GPT-2 and LLaMA architectures — pure Rust, zero CUDA SDK dependency.
Documentation
oxicuda-lm-0.1.0 has been yanked.

oxicuda-lm

Part of the OxiCUDA ecosystem — Pure Rust CUDA replacement for the COOLJAPAN ecosystem.

Overview

oxicuda-lm provides the model-layer abstractions for LLM inference: a BPE tokenizer, transformer layer building blocks with incremental KV-cache support, and complete GPT-2 and LLaMA-2/3 model implementations. All forward passes are pure-Rust CPU reference implementations suitable for testing; GPU acceleration is provided by the included PTX kernel strings once a CUDA driver is available at runtime.

Features

  • BPE tokenizer: BpeBuilder / BpeTokenizer with full encode/decode round-trip and special-token support
  • Transformer layers: TokenEmbedding, LearnedPositionalEmbedding, RotaryEmbedding (RoPE), MultiHeadAttention (with GQA), MlpFfn, SwiGluFfn, RmsNorm, LayerNorm
  • KV cache: LayerKvCache and PastKvCache for incremental (token-by-token) decoding with correct cache accumulation
  • GPT-2 and LLaMA architectures: Gpt2Model and LlamaModel with forward() and next_token() helpers
  • PTX kernels: five GPU kernel source strings (embedding forward, RoPE apply, SiLU gate, RMSNorm, causal attention softmax) for SM75–SM120
  • Pure Rust — no CUDA SDK, no C/Fortran at compile time

Usage

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
oxicuda-lm = "0.1.0"

use oxicuda_lm::{Gpt2Model, GptConfig, PastKvCache};

let model = Gpt2Model::new(GptConfig::tiny())?;
let prompt = vec![1u32, 42, 7];

// Prefill
let (logits, kv) = model.forward(&prompt, None)?;

// Incremental decode
let (next_token, kv2) = model.next_token(&[*prompt.last().unwrap()], Some(&kv))?;
println!("next token id: {next_token}");
