  • A single executable with no installation and no external dependencies
  • Runs on CPU or GPU, with partial offload for machines short on VRAM
  • No Python and no dependencies; one binary runs the model

  • You still have to find and download model files yourself
  • Performance on CPU alone is slow for larger models
