Developer open-sources 3KB minimalist C-based LLM inference engine bytesized
Show HN: A 3KB LLM inference engine in C
AI guide
A developer has open-sourced bytesized, a minimalist C-based LLM inference engine with a binary footprint of just 3,156 bytes that directly loads and runs raw safetensors weights from SmolLM2-135M without format conversion.
Why it matters
The project demonstrates an engineering approach to minimizing LLM inference code through stripping system libraries, single-segment linking, and self-extracting compression.
