ggufy: Unified GGUF Model Wrapper
ggufy unifies your local GGUF models from llama.cpp and Ollama into a single, easy-to-use collection. It handles symlinking, smart execution (local vs cloud), and provides a cleaner CLI experience.
Features
- Unified Discovery: Finds models in
~/Library/Caches/llama.cppand~/.ollama/models/blobs. - Smart Symlinking: Creates a consistent
~/.guffy/modelsdirectory (or custom path). - Intelligent Runner: Automatically chooses between local GGUF and Ollama Cloud.
- Audio/TTS Support: Detects audio models by name (containing "audio") and routes them to
llama-cli. - Clean UX: Non-blocking lists, quiet output, and consistent flags.
Installation
Install via Cargo (Rust) or pip (Python, installs pre-built Rust binaries):
# From crates.io
cargo install ggufy
# From PyPI (downloads Rust binary via maturin)
pip install ggufy
# From source
git clone https://github.com/nbiish/ggufy.git
cd ggufy
cargo build --release
# Binaries will be in target/release/
After installation, ensure the binaries are on your PATH:
# For cargo installations
export PATH="$HOME/.cargo/bin:$PATH"
# For pip installations (usually automatic)
which ggufy
Quick Start
- List & Link:
ggufy list(Refreshes links in~/.guffy/models) - Run Smart:
ggufy run <model>(Uses local if available, else cloud) - Simple Prompt:
ggufy simple <model> "prompt"
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
ggufy list |
Lists all local models and refreshes symlinks. |
ggufy link |
Refreshes symlinks without listing. |
ggufy locate <regex> |
Finds absolute paths of models matching pattern. |
ggufy run <model> [args] |
Runs model via llama-server or ollama run. |
ggufy simple <model> "txt" |
One-shot prompt. Quiet mode for local, chat mode for cloud. |
ggufy llama <cmd> |
Wrappers for llama-server and llama-cli. |
ggufy ollama <cmd> |
Wrappers for ollama serve/run. |
ggufy -o <args> |
Passthrough to ollama <args>. |
ggufy -c <args> |
Passthrough to llama-* tools (e.g. ggufy -c server ...). |
Configuration
- Link Directory:
export GGUFY_MODELS_DIR="$HOME/.ggufy"(or use--link-dir) - Cache Override:
export LLAMA_CPP_CACHE_DIR="..." - Ports: Default
12434(llama),11434(ollama). Override with--port.
Audio/Multimodal
- Audio Models: If the model name contains "audio",
ggufyautomatically usesllama-clifor execution. - Multimodal: Pass projection files manually:
ggufy run model -- --mmproj path/to/mmproj.
