gguf-runner updates: vision support, releases, and many small improvements
My personal blog [Unofficial]

A quick follow-up
In the previous post I introduced gguf-runner , a small Rust CLI for running GGUF models locally with a focus on:
- CPU-only inference
- mmap-based model loading
- a small, scriptable command line interface
If you haven’t read that one yet, it explains the motivation and the general design of the project.
This post is a follow-up covering some of the more recent additions, most notably vision support , along with a few practical improvements like GitHub release binaries , better documentation, and a number of performance tweaks.
