Item detail

mostlygeek/llama-swap

llama-swap is a lightweight Go service for hot-swapping local generative models behind OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs. It works with servers such as llama.cpp, vLLM, tabbyAPI, stable-diffusion.cpp, and local audio/image endpoints, reducing the pain of keeping many models loaded at once.

Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.

Why it matters

Useful for local-AI users who jump between models or modalities: put it in front of a small model set first and verify routing, startup latency, and memory behavior before using it as a shared team endpoint.

Who should use it

local AI usershomelab buildersLLM app developerssmall teams sharing local inference

Who should skip it

Skip if the source link, docs, or setup requirements do not match your workflow.

Risk explanation

exposed local inference endpoints should be protected before use on shared networks.
