Description
One binary. No dependencies. Drop it in and run. Up to 4.62x faster prefill than llama.cpp and 5.53x faster batched decoding than vLLM. jitllm detects your hardware and optimizes kernels and model placement across CPUs and GPUs. Run open-weight flagships, even larger than memory. OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs, desktop and terminal apps. Linux, macOS and Windows.

Could you build this?
No Writing a zero-dependency high-performance LLM runtime that beats llama.cpp and vLLM requires deep systems programming, custom hardware kernels (CUDA/Metal), and low-level memory architecture expertise.
What it would actually take: Building jitllm requires hand-tuned low-level C++/Rust kernels, deep GPU hardware architecture mastery (PTX, Triton, Metal, AVX-512), and custom dynamic execution graphs for heterogenous CPU/GPU scheduling. The development necessitates novel low-level memory-paging and quantization routines, plus extensive profiling across diverse silicon platforms that AI coding assistants cannot architect or optimize autonomously.
