Small text models with short context. Expect patient, private inference rather than speed.

The highest listed result may be a tight or offloaded fit. For daily use, prefer the first result marked Comodo and keep context modest.
llama.cpp
GGUF models, CPU/GPU offload, embedded and unusual hardware. New architectures may require a recent build. Backend availability does not imply equal performance. Since v0.7.0 (2026-10-15) llama-server listens on port 9931 by default instead of 8080; the example commands pin that port explicitly. Older builds accept the same --port flag but default to 8080.
