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.) sudo snap install llama-cpp+sycl # add SYCL GPU (Intel)
Select a backend persistently with:
sudo snap set llama-cpp backend={cpu,hip,cuda,vulkan,opencl,sycl,auto} # auto = probe snap get llama-cpp backend
or override it per invocation with the env var:
LLAMA_CPP_BACKEND=cpu llama-cpp cli ...
The llama.cpp web server can also be run using the llama-cpp.server app. This is disabled by default but can be enabled by running:
snap start --enable llama-cpp.server
By default, no additional arguments are passed to the server, meaning it will listen on the default port and address. Arguments can be specified by setting the server-opts configuration value, e.g.:
snap set llama-cpp server-opts="--host 0.0.0.0"
Afterwards, the server must be restarted for the new arguments to take effect:
snap restart llama-cpp.server
