Jeff Boudier announced Llama for Windows during the .NET conf keynote: an open-source local AI app by the llama.cpp team and Hugging Face, bringing the Mac menu-bar app to Windows as a system tray app.
- 1MB download, free, open source, works offline, no terminal or setup; coming soon to the Windows Store.
- Offers ChatGPT-style chat plus a local OpenAI-compatible API so coding agents, editors, and scripts plug right in.
- One-click install of models matched to your hardware (gemma, gpt-oss, Qwen, etc.), with data staying fully local.
