AI Analysis

●●SolidCozyNiche Gem

Finally answers if llama.cpp is actually working by reading Apple GPU counters directly.

Strengths

•Reads Apple GPU pipeline counters (Device, Renderer, Tiler) directly from IOKit.
•Zero dependencies, no daemon, and no root access required for installation.
•Distinguishes between llama.cpp specific load and system-wide background noise.

Weaknesses

•Extremely narrow scope; only useful for the specific niche of local LLM inference.
•macOS and Apple Silicon only, excluding Linux and Windows users entirely.

Post Description

I had codex make this for me so I could see what llama.cpp was doing on my mac. Vibecoded in swift, hit 1 for more processor details, hit m for more memory details. Enjoy!

GPU-hot Dashboard for monitoring Nvidia GPUs on remote servers

Shoots for zero-setup GPU visibility: one docker run spins up a service you open in the browser to see live NVIDIA metrics without Prometheus, SSH, or dashboards to configure. The UI and interactive demo show attention to UX and make it instantly useful for small clusters or single-node setups. It doesn’t reinvent observability — if you need long-term metrics, alerting, or enterprise integrations you’ll still reach for exporters + Grafana — but for lightweight, immediate GPU troubleshooting this is convenient and focused.
