FYI, llama-server can now be run in router mode so llama-swap is probably only needed for more exotic scenarios.
replyI’m using llama-swap because it can manage arbitrary backends, not just llama-server instances. I have llama.cpp chat and embedding models running alongside whisper-server all behind a single endpoint with per-model TTLs so they don't fight over the limited vram I have available on this box. Native routing could replace the llama.cpp part but not whisper so I guess I'm exotic ;)
replyI'm running it in router mode, but people on Reddit were recommending people use llama-swap instead. Am I missing something by using router mode?
replyI believe it's useful for running multiple llama.cpp forks at the same time (e.g. a model you want requires special patching)
replyThanks for the link to llama-swap. Didn’t know about it and will definitely install it.
