Replit Inference Server

This is a simple inference server to load ggml versions of Replit models (ex: https://huggingface.co/teknium/Replit-v2-CodeInstruct-3B and its ggml version: https://huggingface.co/abacaj/Replit-v2-CodeInstruct-3B-ggml) and use them as OpenAI compatible REST API servers. This is so that they can be used as backend model for continue.dev VS Code extension

Setting up

• Install miniconda3 (to create a virtual environment). Or you could use virtualenv or poetry as well
• Create an environment
• pip install -r requirements.txt
• python app.py or use python app.py --help to see available flags
• Install continue.dev from VS Code extensions
• Use instructions from https://continue.dev/docs/customization#local-models-with-ggml to configure continue to use ggml models. However, instead of using their "5 minute quickstart" server, use this server instead
