{"slug": "llambda-lisp-on-linux", "title": "llambda.lisp on linux", "summary": "A developer incorporated patches from a reader named Madhu that enable llambda.lisp, a Lisp-based inference project, to run on Linux. The patch uses mmap to load model weights into the Lisp address space outside the heap and adds default values for a Hugging Face model. Madhu reported successful inference on his Linux machine after about an hour of hacking, and the updates have been pushed to GitHub.", "body_md": "A reader named Madhu sent me a patch for running [llambda.lisp](https://github.com/jrm-code-project/llambda) under linux. This patch uses mmap to pull the weights into the lisp address space outside the heap.\n\nIn addition, he tried to use a hugging face model that needed some default values, so he added them.\n\nHe reports that he was able to get the model to do inference on his linux box with about an hour of hacking. I have incorporated his patches and pushed the update to GitHub.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/llambda-lisp-on-linux", "canonical_source": "https://funcall.blogspot.com/2026/08/llambdalisp-on-linux.html", "published_at": "2026-08-09 22:33:42+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-09 22:45:14.472873+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["machine-learning", "developer-tools"], "entities": ["Madhu", "llambda.lisp", "GitHub", "Hugging Face"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/llambda-lisp-on-linux", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/llambda-lisp-on-linux.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/llambda-lisp-on-linux.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/llambda-lisp-on-linux.jsonld"}}
