Offline Llm Inference

via “local-first llm inference with automatic gpu detection”

Run LLMs locally — simple CLI, model registry, OpenAI-compatible API, automatic GPU detection.

Unique: Combines llama.cpp inference engine with automatic GPU detection and transparent hardware abstraction in a single redistributable binary, eliminating manual CUDA/Metal configuration. Unlike LM Studio or vLLM which require separate setup, Ollama detects and applies GPU acceleration at startup without user intervention.

vs others: Faster time-to-inference than LM Studio for first-time users because GPU detection is automatic; simpler than vLLM for single-machine deployments because it bundles the entire stack (runtime, API server, model registry) rather than requiring separate components.
