Llamafile

79/100open sourceexplicit relation

Llamafile by Mozilla packages a complete LLM — model weights, inference engine, and OpenAI-compatible API server — into a single executable file that runs on Mac, Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD with no installation. Built on llama.cpp and Cosmopolitan Libc for cross-platform portability, it delivers GPU-accelerated inference when available and falls back to optimized CPU execution. Supports GGUF models with a built-in web chat UI and REST API for integration.

100% free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license ($0 software licensing fee, 20k+★ on GitHub). Created by Mozilla Ocho and Justine Tunney, Llamafile packages open-weight LLMs into single-file Actually Portable Executables (APE) that run locally on Linux, macOS, Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, and OpenBSD with zero dependencies (no Python, no CUDA toolkit). Features an embedded OpenAI-compatible HTTP server, web chat UI, and automatic GPU acceleration (Metal, CUDA, ROCm). Users pay $0 in software fees, relying solely on local device hardware.Review →
