llama-server-launcher

Lightweight Windows .bat launcher with a PowerShell/WinForms GUI for configuring and launching llama-server from llama.cpp.

What's new on v2.0

• Performance improvements
• Better functionality
• Save command file for easy launching
• Presets for quick setup

How to use

1. Download llama-server-launcher.bat.
2. Optionally place it in the same folder as llama-server.exe for auto-detection.
3. Double-click the .bat file.
4. Browse to your llama-server.exe and pick a .gguf model (or use a Hugging Face repo).
5. Check any options you want to override - unchecked rows are omitted from the command.
6. Click Run llama-server or Copy Command. No install, no dependencies beyond Windows and PowerShell.

Features

• Single file - one .bat that embeds a PowerShell/WinForms GUI. Nothing to install.
• Simple two-tab workflow - Quick Setup shows the settings most people touch; All Options exposes the complete llama-server CLI surface.
• Live command preview - see the exact command line update in real time as you change options.
• Copy or Run - copy the built command to your clipboard, or launch llama-server directly from the GUI.
• Auto-detection - if the launcher sits next to llama-server.exe, the path fills in automatically.
• Tooltips - hover over the options to read tooltips explaining what it does and when to use it.
• Searchable option index - the All Options tab lets you search across every flag and jump to it.

How it works

The .bat bootstrap reads the embedded PowerShell script from itself and runs it in memory. The PowerShell script builds the WinForms GUI entirely in memory - no install and no extra files are created, except an error log in %TEMP% if startup fails.

Warning

Do not type private tokens into the GUI unless you trust your local clipboard/screen environment.
