B Why grade B?

Solid pick. Verified working but with a meaningful caveat (UX rough, smaller market, intermediate trust step, partial coverage). Listed because the trade-off is sometimes worth it.

Review

Cross-platform desktop app (macOS / Windows / Linux) that wraps llama.cpp with a polished UI. Discover + download GGUF quantised models from Hugging Face, chat locally, expose an OpenAI-compatible API on localhost for apps to consume. Closed-source UI but the runtime is open. Best on-ramp for non-engineers.
