Introducing Llama Windows: llama.cpp in your Windows tray
Blog post from Hugging Face
Llama Windows is a free, open-source Windows 11 application that provides a tray-based interface for running local AI models through llama.cpp without requiring terminal commands, manual setup, administrator rights, or build steps. Positioned as the Windows counterpart to llama.app for macOS, it lets users browse recommended quantized models from the Hugging Face Hub, download them with one click, load or unload them, and access llama.cpp’s web interface for chatting. The native WinUI 3 application supports Windows on Arm and NVIDIA RTX Spark, while an Alt+Space shortcut can open an overlay for interacting with an agent. It manages the llama.cpp runtime automatically, stores downloaded models in the shared Hugging Face cache, supports gated and private repositories through an access token, and retains local logs for seven days. Models run entirely on the user’s device for privacy, while a local OpenAI-compatible server at localhost:9931 enables developers to connect their own applications, scripts, and agents to loaded models.
