Carla v0.1.0: a local llama.cpp loom TUI for growing AI characters

max_paperclips · x · 2026-09-29

Carla v0.1.0 is a new open-source loom TUI and character lab built on llama.cpp that runs fully local. Workflow: base model + seed doc → branching continuations → conversational looms with emergent AI characters. You can run multiple chats at once with /loom [count], and after each turn an evaluator (Jev) checks against a custom behavior spec for looping, spiraling, or harmful language — the grid pulses orange past a threshold. The author calls it a 'video game for crafting digital minds,' inspired by computer-10 and the loom community, and plans to use its eval design for a training phase next.
