Any other OS

Either use the latest binaries or build llama.cpp from source. For more information how to run the llama.cpp server, please refer to the Wiki.

llama.cpp settings

Here are recommended settings, depending on the amount of VRAM that you have:

  • More than 16GB VRAM:

    llama-server --fim-qwen-7b-default
  • Less than 16GB VRAM:

    llama-server --fim-qwen-3b-default
  • Less than 8GB VRAM:

    llama-server --fim-qwen-1.5b-default
CPU-only configs

These are llama-server settings for CPU-only hardware. Note that the quality will be significantly lower:

llama-server \
    -hf ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-1.5B-Q8_0-GGUF \
    --port 8012 -ub 512 -b 512 --ctx-size 0 --cache-reuse 256
llama-server \
    -hf ggml-org/Qwen2.5-Coder-0.5B-Q8_0-GGUF \
    --port 8012 -ub 1024 -b 1024 --ctx-size 0 --cache-reuse 256

You can use any other FIM-compatible model that your system can handle. By default, the models downloaded with the -hf flag are stored in:

  • Mac OS: ~/Library/Caches/llama.cpp/
  • Linux: ~/.cache/llama.cpp
  • Windows: LOCALAPPDATA

Recommended LLMs

The plugin requires FIM-compatible models: HF collection

Examples

Speculative FIMs running locally on a M2 Studio:

Implementation details

The extension aims to be very simple and lightweight and at the same time to provide high-quality and performant local FIM completions, even on consumer-grade hardware.
