A developer has created a local LLM server using FastAPI and llama.cpp that automatically selects the appropriate GGUF model based on available GPU VRAM. This setup allows users to run various models, from 7B to 70B parameters, locally, offering an OpenAI-compatible API. The system detects VRAM using NVML for NVIDIA or Metal for Apple Silicon, ensuring efficient model deployment without relying on cloud services or hitting rate limits. The project has also been packaged into a desktop application called Strata, built with Tauri 2 and React, featuring a chat UI and model browser. AI
IMPACT Enables local LLM deployment, bypassing cloud costs and rate limits for users with sufficient VRAM.
