If you’re looking to deploy the powerful Llama 2 Chat 13B model on Rockchip’s RK3588, you’ve come to the right place! In this blog, we’ll walk you through the entire conversion process using RKLLM format, specifically tailored for Rockchip devices. We’ll also delve into troubleshooting tips to ensure a smooth setup. So, let’s dive into the world of AI models!

Understanding the Basics

The Llama 2 Chat 13B model has been transformed to work with the RK3588 chip, ensuring you can maximize the device’s NPU capabilities. The conversion to RKLLM format allows the model to harness the power of this specific hardware. But before we jump into the setup, let’s consider the analogy of baking a cake:

• Imagine the RK3588 as the oven that will perfectly bake your cake.
• The Llama 2 model is your cake mix, a blend of ingredients ready to be transformed into something delicious.
• The RKLLM format is the special baking technique required to ensure that your cake rises and cooks evenly.

Just like baking, where precise measurements and methods are essential, the same goes for deploying AI models!

3. Convert the model using the RKLLM toolkit, which prepares it to run on the device.
4. Deploy it to your RK3588 device’s NPU.
5. Run your model and start chatting!

Troubleshooting Tips
