This PR changes the default
n_threads_batch
parameter ofLlama
instances to use all available CPU cores. Currently, the default behaviour is to use half of all cores, which is optimal for text generation, but is suboptimal for batch processing. This change should provide some speed improvements, most notably on CPU / OpenBLAS / Metal.
