# llama-swap
![llama-swap header image](header.jpeg)
[llama.cpp's server](https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/tree/master/examples/server) can't swap models, so let's swap llama-server instead!
llama-swap is a proxy server that sits in front of llama-server. When a request for `/v1/chat/completions` comes in it will extract the `model` requested and change the underlying llama-server automatically.
- ✅ easy to deploy: single binary with no dependencies
- ✅ full control over llama-server's startup settings
- ✅ ❤️ for nvidia P40 users who are rely on llama.cpp for inference
## config.yaml
llama-swap's configuration purposefully simple.
```yaml
# Seconds to wait for llama.cpp to load and be ready to serve requests
# Default (and minimum) is 15 seconds
healthCheckTimeout: 60
# define valid model values and the upstream server start
models:
"llama":
cmd: "llama-server --port 8999 -m Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf"
# Where to proxy to, important it matches this format
proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8999"
# aliases model names to use this configuration for
aliases:
- "gpt-4o-mini"
- "gpt-3.5-turbo"
# wait for this path to return an HTTP 200 before serving requests
# defaults to /health to match llama.cpp
#
# use "none" to skip endpoint checking. This may cause requests to fail
# until the server is ready
checkEndpoint: "/custom-endpoint"
"qwen":
# environment variables to pass to the command
env:
- "CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0"
cmd: "llama-server --port 8999 -m path/to/Qwen2.5-1.5B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf"
proxy: "http://127.0.0.1:8999"
```
## Installation
1. Create a configuration file, see [config.example.yaml](config.example.yaml)
1. Download a [release](https://github.com/mostlygeek/llama-swap/releases) appropriate for your OS and architecture.
* _Note: Windows currently untested._
1. Run the binary with `llama-swap --config path/to/config.yaml`
