Get llamay.

No card, nothing to configure. Install it and ask it something — the whole thing takes about a minute.

Personal use needs no licence, on as many machines as you own. Using llamay at work needs a seat licence — the engine is identical either way, and nothing stops working without one.

Prefer a terminal? One line installs it, or pick a file yourself.

macOS 13 Ventura or later

Apple Silicon, and Intel from the terminal

The one-liner takes the Metal build on Apple Silicon and the portable one on Intel. It installs llamay to /usr/local/bin and a LaunchAgent that runs as you, so the server is there after a reboot.

Then the server is on http://localhost:11435. Read the script before you run it — it is served from the repository it lives in.

Or an app, and the binaries

llamay.app · Apple Silicon drag to Applications · signed and notarised, so it opens with no security warning · asks you to sign in with a free llamay account the first time it opens (the command-line build, the server and Studio need no account) · Intel Macs run the command-line build below
CLI · Apple Silicon Metal and Accelerate
CLI · Apple Silicon, portable no cgo — the reference kernels, for reproducing a number
CLI · Intel portable, AVX2

x86-64 and arm64

Linux

Installs a systemd service running as its own llamay user, with the binary at /usr/local/bin/llamay. Set LLAMAY_NO_SERVICE=1 beforehand to install only the CLI.

The script refuses rather than continuing if the machine has no sha256sum or shasum: an installer that skips the check is one that runs whatever it was handed.

Or a package

Removing the package keeps your models: they can be tens of gigabytes, and reinstalling does not bring them back.

Windows 10 or later

Windows

Per user, so it needs no administrator prompt. Adds llamay to PATH and registers a logon task, so the server is there after a reboot.

Paste it in PowerShell. Read the script. The installers are Authenticode signed through Azure Trusted Signing.

The installer also carries a llamay window: a native Windows application, signed with the engine, that talks to the server on this machine. It arrives as its own Start Menu entry beside the one that is already there, so nothing you have set up changes. It is why the installer is larger than the engine alone — it carries everything it needs, so there is no runtime to install first.
