LlamaEdge allows you to chat with LLMs of GGUF format both locally and via chat service.
  • LlamaEdgeChatService provides developers an OpenAI API compatible service to chat with LLMs via HTTP requests.
  • LlamaEdgeChatLocal enables developers to chat with LLMs locally (coming soon).
Both LlamaEdgeChatService and LlamaEdgeChatLocal run on the infrastructure driven by WasmEdge Runtime, which provides a lightweight and portable WebAssembly container environment for LLM inference tasks.

​
Chat via API Service

LlamaEdgeChatService works on the llama-api-server. Following the steps in llama-api-server quick-start, you can host your own API service so that you can chat with any models you like on any device you have anywhere as long as the internet is available.
