AI-Powered NPCs using your own hardware (your servers or your player's hardware) Loreguard CLI connects the LLM Inference to the Loreguard NPC system.

Installation

Linux / macOS

pip install loreguard-cli

Windows

Download loreguard.exe from Releases.

Or install via pip if you have Python:

pip install loreguard-cli

From Source

git clone https://github.com/beyond-logic-labs/loreguard-cli
cd loreguard-cli
pip install -e .

Quick Start

Interactive Mode (no arguments)

loreguard

The wizard guides you through:

1. Authentication - Enter your worker token
2. Model Selection - Choose or download a model
3. Running - Starts llama-server and connects to backend

Headless Mode (with arguments)

loreguard --token lg_worker_xxx --model /path/to/model.gguf

Or auto-download a supported model:

loreguard --token lg_worker_xxx --model-id qwen3-4b-instruct

Environment variables:

export LOREGUARD_TOKEN=lg_worker_xxx
export LOREGUARD_MODEL=/path/to/model.gguf
loreguard

Chat Mode (test NPC pipeline)

Test your NPC chat without running a local model:

loreguard --chat --token lg_worker_xxx

This connects directly to the Loreguard API to:

• List your registered NPCs
• Select one to chat with
• See verification status and latency

Supported Models

Works with any .gguf model. Tested with the following model families:

• Qwen - Recommended for best quality/speed balance
• Llama - Meta's open models
• GPT - GPT-style open models
• RNJ - Specialized models
• Violet Lotus - Community fine-tunes

Use any model with --model /path/to/model.gguf.

Use Cases

For Game Developers (Testing & Development)

Use Loreguard CLI during development to test NPC dialogs with your own hardware:

# Start the worker
loreguard-cli --token $YOUR_DEV_TOKEN --model-id qwen3-4b-instruct

# Your game connects to Loreguard API
# NPC inference requests are routed to your local worker

For Players (Coming Soon)

Note: Player distribution support is in development. Currently, players would need their own Loreguard account and token.

We're working on a Game Keys system that will allow:

• Developers to register their game and get a Game API Key
• Players to run the CLI without needing a Loreguard account
• Automatic worker provisioning scoped to each game

Interested in early access? Contact us at loreguard.com

Requirements

• RAM: 8GB minimum (16GB+ for larger models)
• GPU: Optional but recommended (NVIDIA CUDA or Apple Silicon)
• Disk: 2-6GB depending on model
• Python: 3.10+ (if installing from source)

Get Your Token

1. Go to loreguard.com/developers
2. Create a worker token
3. Use it with --token or LOREGUARD_TOKEN

Development

git clone https://github.com/beyond-logic-labs/loreguard-cli
cd loreguard-cli
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run interactive wizard
python -m src.wizard

# Run headless CLI
python -m src.cli --help

# Run tests
pytest
