Description

Hello
The readMe advises to Launch setup_env python script, that will recompile llama-cpp-cli exécutable.
I want to easily integrate the optimized new llama-cpp in a gradio or streamlit python app: how to proceed ? (As i can’t use Transformers python api since performances are lower, as explained from Hugging Face page).
Do I need to recompile llama-cpp (and then python bindings ), and if yes, how to benefit from all the 1-bit (bitNet) of this repo ?
Thanks.

Research direction

Start with the README and the setup_env Python script mentioned in the issue, tracing how it rebuilds the llama-cpp-cli executable and how Python bindings are expected to be built. Compare that process with the requested Gradio or Streamlit integration and BitNet's 1-bit support. Done would be documented, reproducible steps for using the optimized bindings in a Python app.
