#### Snap package for llama.cpp - LLM inference in C/C++

llama.cpp packaged as a snap. The main snap ships a CPU build that
works on any x86\_64 or arm64 machine. Optional snap components add
GPU backends:

```
 sudo snap install llama-cpp           # CPU
 sudo snap install llama-cpp+hip       # add AMD GPU
 sudo snap install llama-cpp+cuda      # add NVIDIA GPU
 sudo snap install llama-cpp+vulkan    # add Vulkan GPU (Intel, AMD, etc.)
 sudo snap install llama-cpp+opencl    # add OpenCL GPU (Adreno, Mali, etc.)
```

Select a backend persistently with:

```
 sudo snap set llama-cpp backend={cpu,hip,cuda,vulkan,opencl,auto}    # auto = probe
 snap get llama-cpp backend
```

or override it per invocation with the env var:

```
 LLAMA_CPP_BACKEND=cpu llama-cpp cli ...
```
