llamafile
Llamafile is an open‑source initiative (led by Mozilla Builders) that encapsulates an entire large language model (LLM) and its runtime environment into a single executable file, enabling users to run powerful AI models locally on their own hardware without cloud dependencies. It fuses the capabilities of llama.cpp (for efficient model inference) with Cosmopolitan Libc (for cross‑platform portability), so that once you download a “llamafile,” you can run it on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, or OpenBSD with minimal setup.
By packaging the model weights and execution logic into one compact binary, Llamafile makes distributing and deploying LLMs easier and more reproducible. It supports both CPU and GPU inference, can run offline (ensuring data privacy), and offers an interface compatible with OpenAI‑style API endpoints. Its design is a clear push toward “local AI” — AI models that you own, control, and can operate without reliance on external servers.
