Serge is a chat interface crafted with llama.cpp for running GGUF models. No API keys, entirely self-hosted!

• 🌐 SvelteKit frontend
• 💾 Redis for storing chat history & parameters
• ⚙️ FastAPI + LangChain for the API, wrapping calls to llama.cpp using the python bindings

Then, just visit http://localhost:8008, You can find the API documentation at http://localhost:8008/api/docs

Ensure you have Docker Desktop installed, WSL2 configured, and enough free RAM to run models.

Instructions for setting up Serge on Kubernetes can be found in the wiki.

Additional models can be requested by opening a GitHub issue.

LLaMA will crash if you don't have enough available memory for the model:
