ZML is a production LLM inference stack written in Zig, built on MLIR and OpenXLA, that compiles models to run at peak performance across NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, TPU, and AWS Trainium hardware from a single codebase. It is Python-free and built with Bazel, with examples for running models like Llama 3 and Qwen from Hugging Face, local directories, or S3.

Use cases

• serve llm inference on any gpu hardware
• run llama 3 locally without python
• deploy models on tpu or trainium
• compile ai models for amd rocm
• build a fast llm server in zig
• avoid vendor lock-in for ai inference

When to choose

• you need peak inference performance across heterogeneous accelerators
• you want a Python-free, low-overhead inference stack
• you want one codebase targeting CUDA, ROCm, OneAPI, TPU, and Trainium

When to avoid

• you need a quick Python-based inference setup with broad model ecosystem support
• your team is not comfortable with Bazel and Zig toolchains
• you need CPU-only lightweight inference
