Be careful running this on work machines – it will get flagged by Crowdstrike Falcon and probably other EDR tools. In my case the first time I tried it, I just saw “Killed” and then got a DM from SecOps within two minutes.

the irony, preventing and killing something that is actually useful, while we let crowdcrap hum along consuming tons of memory and bottlenecking IO so it can do snakeoil things...

Are they specifically flagging LLMs, or do they not like Cosmopolitan Libc / APE?

		Nah nothing to do with LLMs, it’s just because the method of Llamafile is very similar to malware - basically zip up an executable, concatenate it with some stuff, throw it in /tmp and execute it with a randomly generated high entropy name. (That said, after I explained it to SecOps they did tell me I would need to “consult legal” if I wanted to use a local LLM, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt there…)
