KoboldCpp: Premier AI Text-Generation Tool

AI text-generation software KoboldCpp is a comprehensive tool designed for GGML and GGUF models. It’s a standalone solution from Concedo that enhances llama.cpp with a robust Kobold API endpoint, Stable Diffusion image generation, and backward compatibility. The software boasts a sophisticated UI that supports persistent stories, editing tools, save formats, memory, world info, author’s note, characters, scenarios, and all features of Kobold and Kobold Lite. For installation, Linux users can download a prebuilt binary or use an automated build script to generate a pyinstaller binary. Four AUR packages cater to different GPU requirements. The recommended installation is via an AUR helper, but manual installation is possible. KoboldCpp can be run from anywhere in the terminal, providing a seamless experience for users to run various GGML and GGUF models with KoboldAI’s UI.
