AKMessi/kivarro, trending on r/LocalLLaMA, is a Tauri v2 + SvelteKit desktop app wrapping llama.cpp and mistral.rs behind a dense instrumentation UI: model registry, hardware-fit, GGUF metadata indexing, live NVIDIA VRAM telemetry, RAG bases, local OpenAI-compatible API. Early and single-maintainer, but a genuinely different aesthetic from the usual local-inference UIs. As someone who evaluates tools for craft, the design bar here is notably higher than the category norm.
