Quick disclosure: this is my project. I built it because I have a rack of "obsolete" datacenter cards in a closet and I got tired of every new model needing a new set of flags to run properly on them. **What it is** PXA is a fork of ik_llama.cpp (which is a fork of llama.cpp) plus a vLLM plugin, bu…
