Llamafile: Another Option in Local LLM Solutions

I'm a huge ollama fan, but recently, I revisited llamafile after exploring it about six months ago. The improvements, particularly in CPU inference, are pretty impressive. If you're also exploring local LLM solutions, you might find llamafile worth checking out.

Here’s a short list of what makes llamafile stand out:

- **Ease of Use**: It runs LLMs as single-file executable and includes a browser GUI.

- **Enhanced Performance**: Optimized for both CPU and GPU, providing improved performance even for older machines without powerful GPUs.

- **Broad System Compatibility**: Works across macOS, Windows, and Linux.

- **Actually Portable Executable (APE)**: Allows building for multiple OSes from one environment.

- **API Compatibility**: Compatible with OpenAI API (not stand out, but helpful)
