llamafile pros and cons
Runs an LLM from a single executable with zero installation across Windows, macOS, Linux, and BSD
Works on most CPU architectures, and can use a GPU when available
Built on the fast-moving llama.cpp, so newer models and features are supported
Includes whisperfile for single-file, cross-platform speech-to-text
On Windows, executables over 4GB will not run, so larger models need a separate external weights file
The v0.10 build-system rewrite dropped some features from the classic releases, so behavior can differ by version
CPU-only inference is slower than a tuned GPU setup for large models
