System Requirements

Before using rkllm-rs, you need to install librkllmrt. Please download and install from the following link:

Download librkllmrt.so

Please install librkllmrt.so in one of the common Linux library paths:

• /usr/lib
• /lib
• /usr/local/lib
• /opt/lib

Alternatively, you can use the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to specify the library path. For example:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path/to/your/library:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

The model used in this example can be found here

For devices with less memory, you can use this model

Installation

Install Rust

First, install Rust, or refer to this guide

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Lazy Way

# If you already installed git-lfs, skip this step
sudo apt install git-lfs

sudo curl -L https://github.com/airockchip/rknn-llm/raw/refs/heads/main/rkllm-runtime/Linux/librkllm_api/aarch64/librkllmrt.so -o /usr/lib/librkllmrt.so
cargo install rkllm-rs --features bin
git clone https://huggingface.co/VRxiaojie/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RK3588S-RKLLM1.1.4
rkllm ./DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RK3588S-RKLLM1.1.4/deepseek-r1-1.5B-rkllm1.1.4.rkllm --model_type=deepseek

You should now see the LLM start up:

I rkllm: rkllm-runtime version: 1.1.4, rknpu driver version: 0.9.7, platform: RK3588

rkllm init success

Using as a Library

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rkllm-rs = "0.1.0"

Using as a Binary

rkllm-rs also supports running as a binary, suitable for users who do not plan to do further development or prefer an out-of-the-box experience.

cargo install rkllm-rs --features bin
rkllm ~/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-1.5B-RK3588S-RKLLM1.1.4/deepseek-r1-1.5B-rkllm1.1.4.rkllm --model_type=deepseek

Here is the help for the tool, with various parameters set according to the help:

Usage: rkllm [OPTIONS] [model]

Arguments:
  [model]  Rkllm model

Options:
      --model_type <model_type>
          Some module have special prefix in prompt, use this to fix [possible values: normal, deepseek]
  -c, --context_len <max_context_len>
          Maximum number of tokens in the context window
  -n, --new_tokens <max_new_tokens>
          Maximum number of new tokens to generate.
  -K, --top_k <top_k>
          Top-K sampling parameter for token generation.
  -P, --top_p <top_p>
          Top-P (nucleus) sampling parameter.
  -t, --temperature <temperature>
          Sampling temperature, affecting the randomness of token selection.
  -r, --repeat_penalty <repeat_penalty>
          Penalty for repeating tokens in generation.
  -f, --frequency_penalty <frequency_penalty>
          Penalizes frequent tokens during generation.
  -p, --presence_penalty <presence_penalty>
          Penalizes tokens based on their presence in the input.
      --prompt_cache <prompt_cache_path>
          Path to the prompt cache file.
      --skip_special_token
          Whether to skip special tokens during generation.
  -h, --help
          Print help (see more with '--help')
  -V, --version
          Print version

Online Tokenizer Config

Currently, the model types are hardcoded in the program, and unsupported models will not correctly generate bos_token and assistant prompts. Most models will produce incorrect responses without the correct prompts, such as irrelevant answers or self-dialogue (though, to be fair, they might still engage in self-dialogue even with the prompts).

Most models have tokenizer_config.json available online. Reading this configuration file can generate the correct prompts.

You can manually create the prompt using tokenizer_config.json or use Python's AutoTokenizer to generate it.

This library provides a method to automatically fetch the corresponding model's tokenizer_config.json from online sources.

cargo install rkllm-rs --features "bin, online_config"
rkllm ~/Tinnyllama-1.1B-rk3588-rkllm-1.1.4/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0-rk3588-w8a8-opt-0-hybrid-ratio-0.5.rkllm --model_type=TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0

This tool will fetch the tokenizer_config.json for TinyLlama online and attempt to correct the prompts.
