Run LLMs natively on any device with ML compilation

MLC LLM is an open-source engine for deploying large language models natively across diverse platforms using machine learning compilation. It runs models on NVIDIA/AMD GPUs, Apple Silicon, mobile devices, and browsers via WebGPU without cloud dependencies. Features include OpenAI-compatible API, quantization support, and optimized backends for CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, and WebAssembly.

Run LLMs as a single portable executable file

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.
