I keep idly wondering what would be the market for a plug and play LLM runner. Some toaster sized box with the capability to run exclusively offline/local. Plug it into your network, give your primary machine the IP, and away you go.

Of course, the market segment who would be most interested, probably has the expertise and funds to setup something with better horsepower than could be offered in a one size fits all solution.

I am working on a larger project about containers and isolation stronger than current conventions but short kata etc…

But if you follow the podman instructions for cuda, the llama.cpp shows you how to use their plugin here
