llama.cpp — DualDeadline branch
github.comAn independent research branch of llama.cpp implementing DualDeadline, a component-staged expert-prefetching technique for offloaded mixture-of-experts inference, letting a GPU claim only router-selected expert tensor slices while routing and outputs stay exact.
cpubrrr
github.comA research runtime, written in Rust, that runs mixture-of-experts language models entirely on an Apple Silicon CPU, with hand-written NEON and SME kernels and no GPU code path, benchmarked against llama.cpp with corrected, re-measured comparisons.
QuarkStar
github.comA narrow, self-contained inference engine for two specific Qwen models, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and Qwen3.8-27B, with Vulkan and Metal graph executors tuned for the AMD BC-250 and Apple Silicon, plus a built-in coding agent and HTTP server.
EULLM Platform
eullm.euA self-hosted LLM inference engine written in Rust that runs GGUF models with an OpenAI- and Ollama-compatible API, part of a wider open-source platform for building and distributing EU-based, verticalized language models.
apfel-chat
github.comA native macOS chat client for on-device AI, built on Apple Intelligence through the apfel engine, with speech input and output, image analysis through Apple Vision, and local conversation history, requiring no API keys or network access.
ANEForge
aneforge.comA Python library that compiles neural-network graphs directly into programs for Apple's Neural Engine, bypassing Core ML so that training, not just inference, can run on the chip.
Snapshot
github.comA Kubernetes-native checkpoint and restore system for NVIDIA GPU workloads. It saves a fully initialized pod's process and GPU memory, then restores that state on another node so new replicas skip cold start.
R9V
github.comA shape-specialized inference setup that runs the Qwen3.8 Flash Next model across two AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPUs, combining a pinned vLLM fork, GGUF loading and speculative decoding.
openTihui
github.comA native iOS and iPadOS app that runs GGUF language and vision models fully on-device through llama.cpp, or connects to any OpenAI-compatible cloud API, with keyboard shortcuts for quick replies.
LocalMind
localmind.naklitechie.comA single web page that runs several AI models entirely inside the browser using hand-written WebGPU kernels, offering chat, image generation, document question-answering and OCR.
vllm-gaudi
github.comA community-maintained hardware plugin that adds an Intel Gaudi accelerator backend to vLLM, so large language models can be served on Gaudi hardware through vLLM's existing serving stack.
ruNNtime
docs.swmansion.comA framework for running neural network models in the browser, React Native and Electron on the user's own GPU, compiling its kernels to WebGPU shaders at runtime instead of a WASM binary.
Minimal CPU-only Ollama Docker Image
github.comA 70 megabyte Docker image that runs Ollama on CPU only, built to be far smaller and faster to deploy than the official four-gigabyte Ollama image on systems without a GPU.
Hummingbird
github.comA zero-dependency C runtime for running massive open-weight Mixture-of-Experts language models on consumer hardware by streaming expert weights across SSD, RAM and VRAM as one memory hierarchy.
RigStack
github.comAn open-source command-line tool that unifies Ollama, vLLM and ComfyUI behind one endpoint on NVIDIA hardware, for running a private local inference stack without per-token cloud costs.
MLXChat
github.comAn iPhone and iPad app that runs Alibaba's Qwen3.5 models locally on the device using Apple's MLX framework, with optional tool use, image input and web search.
lilbee
lilbee.shA single local executable that runs and manages AI models across every GPU on a machine and turns them into a citation-backed search engine over a user's own files, notes, code and the web.
GGUF connector
github.comA dependency-free Python package for reading, writing and dequantizing GGUF model files, with a bundled graphical and command-line interface for chatting with a loaded model.
frink
fratepietro.comA GGUF model inference engine written entirely in Rust, with quantized kernels for CPU, Apple Metal and CUDA, and an OpenAI-compatible server benchmarked directly against llama.cpp.
BARGAIN
github.comA framework that lowers the cost of processing a dataset with large language models by deciding per record whether a cheap or an expensive model is used, guaranteeing a target accuracy.
dmlx
github.comA native C and Metal inference engine that runs large mixture-of-experts language models, such as a 284-billion-parameter DeepSeek model, on a single Apple Silicon Mac by streaming quantized experts from disk instead of holding everything in memory.
ExecuTorch-rs
github.comRust bindings for Meta's ExecuTorch library, letting PyTorch models exported in Python be loaded and run on mobile, embedded and edge devices from Rust code.
Minirun
minirun.devA native macOS and iOS app that runs open-weight language models far larger than the device's memory by streaming each layer's weights from an external SSD within a memory budget the user sets, entirely on-device.
PortableLM (PrivatePixelPrompt)
github.comA portable local AI environment that runs offline from a USB drive or hard disk, providing text chat, image generation and text-to-speech without installing anything on the host machine.
