Local AI tooling
llamactl
A Rust supervisor for local model runtimes: keeping process lifecycle, resource signals, health, and access control in one deliberately small operational surface.
The project
Local models still need a proper operator.
llamactl exists for the unglamorous work around local AI: starting and stopping model processes, reporting what is running, responding to health changes, and cleaning up when a runtime becomes idle or fails.
It treats the runtime supervisor as a boundary. Model backends remain local services, while clients interact with a smaller managed surface governed by explicit permissions and token-based access. The aim is closer to a system service for local AI models than another chat wrapper.
- Rust process and model lifecycle supervision
- Health and system-resource signals
- Idle cleanup and crash reaping
- Controlled API and client permissions
- Managed local backend boundary
- Focused operational surface
Active tooling work. The project is being built around reliable local operation rather than a broad integration checklist.
