It includes PyTorch weights, configuration files, and behavioral templates tailored to 52 different LLMs. [llm-course](https://mlabonne.github.io/blog/) reports 83k GitHub stars, 9.7k forks, and 90 open issues, last pushed Feb 5, 2026. [LLMmap](https://github.com/pasquini-dario/LLMmap) has 469 stars, 51 forks, and 6 open issues, last pushed Jul 24, 2025.
