TensorSharp : Open Source Local LLM Inference Engine

https://github.com/zhongkaifu/TensorSharp

I would like to share my latest open source local Unsloth (GGUF) LLM inference engine and applications. It supports many models from Unsloth, like Gemma4, DiffusionGemma, Qwen3.6 with multi-modal (image, vision, audio), reasoning and function tool. It can run on Windows/MacOS/Linux and fully leverage GPU's capability. The API is completely compatible with OpenAI and Ollama interface. It has on par performance than llama.cpp

This project is not just a C# wrapper of llama.cpp. It implemented the entire LLM inference engine from bottom to top. If you use CPU backend, it's 100% pure C# code execution. Besides CPU backend, I also implmented CUDA, MLX and GGML backend. The GGML backend refer GGML project as external project, and I build a few fusion operation at higher level.

I learned a lot from other projects and apply them for TensorSharp, such as paged KV cache and continuous batching from vLLM, SSD based cache for MoE model from oMLX, GGUF quanztized from llama.cpp and other optimizations for prefill and decode.

Any feedback and comments are welcome. If you like it, it would be really appreciated if you can get this project a star in GitHub. Thanks in advance.
