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 --edge --devmode llama-cpp           # CPU
 sudo snap install --edge --devmode llama-cpp+hip       # add AMD GPU
 sudo snap install --edge --devmode llama-cpp+cuda      # add NVIDIA GPU

Select a backend persistently with:

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

or override it per invocation with the env var:

 LLAMA_CPP_BACKEND=cpu llama-cpp cli ...
