llamafile

Also known as: llama-file

Local

llamafile is a single-file portable app: it bundles the llama.cpp runtime, a model, and a browser UI into one executable.

  • Double-click (or run) and a local web UI opens.
  • No installation, no dependencies.
  • Great for demos and trying a model on a machine without any setup.

The easiest first run: if you just want to "feel" a local model in 60 seconds, llamafile is the lowest-friction path.
