-### Adding Your Own CI/CD Workflow
-To add your own CI/CD workflow, create a new YAML file in the `.github/workflows` directory and define your build, test, and deployment steps.
+## Inference Performance Optimization
 
-## CPU Usage Calculation
-### Using getrusage
-The code uses the `getrusage` function from the `<sys/resource.h>` library to retrieve resource usage statistics for the calling process. The function populates a `rusage` structure that contains [...]
+### Memory-Mapped Model Loading
+The application uses memory-mapped file I/O for efficient model loading, reducing startup time and memory usage:
 
-Here's how it's done in the code:
 ```cpp
-struct rusage usage;
-getrusage(RUSAGE_SELF, &usage);
-double cpu_usage = (usage.ru_utime.tv_sec + usage.ru_stime.tv_sec) * 1000.0 +
-                   (usage.ru_utime.tv_usec + usage.ru_stime.tv_usec) / 1000.0;
+bool LlamaStack::load_model(const std::string &model_path) {
+    llama_model_params model_params = llama_model_default_params();
+    model_params.n_gpu_layers = use_gpu ? 35 : 0;
+    model_params.use_mmap = true;  // Memory mapping for efficient loading
+    
+    model = llama_load_model_from_file(model_path.c_str(), model_params);
+    return model != nullptr;
+}
 ```
-- `ru_utime` and `ru_stime` provide the user and system CPU time, respectively.
-- The total CPU time is calculated by converting seconds and microseconds into milliseconds.
-
-## GPU Usage Calculation
-### Placeholder for GPU Usage
-The code currently contains a placeholder for GPU usage, represented as:
-```cpp
-int gpu_usage = 0;  // Replace with actual GPU usage logic if available
-```
-This means that the actual logic to calculate GPU usage is not implemented in the current version of the code. In a complete implementation, you would typically use specific GPU libraries or APIs [...]
-
-### Summary
-- **CPU Usage**: Calculated using `getrusage` to retrieve the amount of CPU time consumed by the process.
-- **GPU Usage**: Currently set to a placeholder value (0%), indicating that there is no active logic to measure GPU usage in the provided code.
 
-If you want to implement actual GPU usage measurement, you would need to integrate calls to a GPU monitoring library or API that provides this information.

-## Llama Model Implementation
-
-### Overview
-The Llama model is a state-of-the-art language model designed for various natural language processing tasks. This section provides an in-depth look at how the Llama model is integrated into the C++ application.
-
-## Llama Model Details
-
-The application utilizes the Llama 3.2 model, which is designed for advanced natural language processing tasks. This model is capable of generating human-like text based on the prompts provided by [...]
-
-The Llama 3.2 model is a specific variant of the Llama model family, which is trained on a large corpus of text data. This model is fine-tuned for tasks such as conversational dialogue, text summarization, and more.
-
-### Architecture
-The Llama model is based on a transformer architecture, which is a type of neural network designed primarily for sequence-to-sequence tasks. The model consists of an encoder and a decoder, both of which are used to process and generate text.
-
-### Training
-The Llama model is trained on a large corpus of text data, which is used to fine-tune the model's parameters. The training process involves optimizing the model's parameters to minimize the difference between the predicted and actual outputs.
-
-### Initialization
-The Llama model is initialized through the `LlamaStack` class, which handles the API interactions and manages the model's lifecycle. The initialization process includes setting up the necessary parameters and configurations for the model.
+### KV Cache Management
+Efficient key-value cache handling significantly improves inference speed for long conversations:
 
 ```cpp
-LlamaStack llama(true); // Initialize with GPU usage
-```
+llama_context_params ctx_params = llama_context_default_params();
+ctx_params.n_ctx = 8192;  // 8K context window
+ctx_params.n_batch = 512; // Efficient batch size for parallel inference
+ctx_params.offload_kqv = true; // Offload KQV to GPU when possible
 
-### Sending Requests
-To interact with the Llama model, a prompt is constructed based on user input. The prompt is formatted to guide the model in generating appropriate responses.
-
-```cpp
-std::string prompt = "You are a highly knowledgeable and friendly AI assistant. Please provide clear, concise, and engaging answers.\n\nUser: " + user_message + "\nAssistant:";
+context = llama_new_context_with_model(model, ctx_params);
 ```
 
-### Processing Responses
-The application sends the constructed prompt to the Llama model using the `completion` method of the `LlamaStack` class. This method handles the HTTP request to the model's API and retrieves the generated response.
+### GPU Usage Optimization
+The application efficiently utilizes GPU resources for accelerated inference:
 
 ```cpp
-std::string response = llama.completion(prompt);
+// GPU memory and utilization monitoring
+#ifdef CUDA_AVAILABLE
+    cudaMemGetInfo(&free_mem, &total_mem);
+    gpu_memory_usage = 100.0 * (1.0 - ((double)free_mem / total_mem));
+    
+    // Get GPU utilization
+    nvmlDevice_t device;
+    nvmlDeviceGetHandleByIndex(0, &device);
+    nvmlUtilization_t utilization;
+    nvmlDeviceGetUtilizationRates(device, &utilization);
+    gpu_usage = utilization.gpu;
+#endif
 ```
 
-### Error Handling
-The implementation includes error handling to manage potential issues during the API call, such as connection errors or timeouts. This ensures that the application can gracefully handle errors and provide meaningful feedback to the user.
-
-### Resource Management
-The application monitors resource usage, including CPU and GPU utilization, to provide insights into performance. This is achieved using system calls to retrieve usage statistics.
-
-### Example Interaction
-Here's an example of how the interaction with the Llama model looks in practice:

+## Llama Model Implementation
 
-## Recent Updates
+### Inference Architecture
+The Llama 3.2 model utilizes a transformer architecture optimized for inference performance. Key optimizations include:
 
-### Logging Enhancements
-To better understand the data received during execution, logging statements have been added to the `main.cpp` file. These logs capture:
-- The input prompt before sending it to the server.
-- The JSON payload being sent.
-- The response received from the server.
+- **Grouped-Query Attention (GQA)**: Reduces memory footprint during inference
+- **RoPE Scaling**: Enables context extension beyond training length
+- **Flash Attention**: Efficient attention algorithm that reduces memory I/O
+- **GGML/GGUF Format**: Optimized model format for efficient inference
 
-### Issue Resolution
-An issue was identified where an invalid character in the JSON payload caused errors during execution. This was resolved by properly escaping newline characters in the payload. The application is now more robust and handles such cases gracefully.
+### Quantization Techniques
+The application supports multiple quantization levels to balance performance and quality:
 
-## Acknowledgments
+- **Q4_K_M**: 4-bit quantization with k-means clustering
+- **Q5_K_M**: 5-bit quantization for higher quality
+- **Q8_0**: 8-bit quantization for maximum quality

+### Token Generation
+Optimized token generation with temperature and repetition penalty controls:
 
-## Code Explanation
-### Start Time
-The start time is recorded just before the Llama model processes the input:
-```cpp
-auto start_time = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
-```
-### Processing the Input
-The model processes the input, and this is where the time taken for the operation is measured:
 ```cpp
-std::string response = llama.completion(prompt);
-```
-### End Time
-The end time is recorded immediately after the processing is complete:
-```cpp
-auto end_time = std::chrono::high_resolution_clock::now();
-```
-### Calculating Duration
-The duration is then calculated by subtracting the start time from the end time:
-```cpp
-std::chrono::duration<double> duration = end_time - start_time;
-```
-### Outputting Duration
-Finally, the duration is outputted in seconds:
-```cpp
-std::cout << "Duration: " << duration.count() << " seconds" << std::endl;
+// Streaming token generation
+llama_token token = llama_sample_token(context);
+    
+// Apply frequency and presence penalties
+if (token != llama_token_eos()) {
+    const int repeat_last_n = 64;
+    llama_sample_repetition_penalties(context, 
+                                   tokens.data() + tokens.size() - repeat_last_n,
+                                   repeat_last_n, 1.1f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
+    token = llama_sample_token_greedy(context);
+}
+
+// Measure tokens per second
+tokens_generated++;
+double elapsed = (getCurrentTime() - start_time) / 1000.0;
+double tokens_per_second = tokens_generated / elapsed;
 ```
 
-### Summary
-The duration is measured in seconds using `std::chrono::high_resolution_clock`, which provides precise timing. The difference between the end time and start time gives the total time taken for the operation.
