v1.0.0
Quartermaster's first public release.
Run any model without tuning a single flag. Point it at your models folder: every GGUF is
identified from its own header, the VRAM that is actually free is measured, and context length,
GPU offload, CPU-MoE split and KV sizing are computed per model. Models then hot-swap on demand
behind one OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible API.
- Text, image and audio in one catalog, served by the inference servers you already trust:
llama-server, stable-diffusion.cpp, whisper.cpp, vLLM, TabbyAPI, anything that speaks HTTP. - One scheduler behind every listener, so everything loaded evicts against a single shared
VRAM budget instead of colliding. - A dashboard and a playground: live VRAM and throughput, per-model tuning, plus chat,
images, speech and transcription. - A Hugging Face browser and managed backends, so a model or a new llama.cpp build is a
click rather than an afternoon. - Self-updating from here on: later releases install themselves from inside the app.
Runs on your hardware. Bring your own models. No telemetry.
Instructions
Download the setup program for your platform:
- Windows --
quartermaster-setup-windows-amd64-v1.0.0.exe - Linux --
quartermaster-setup-linux-amd64-v1.0.0(or-linux-arm64-v1.0.0) - macOS, Apple silicon --
quartermaster-setup-darwin-arm64-v1.0.0
The unix ones need chmod +x first. There is no signed macOS build yet, so
clear the quarantine flag before the first launch:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./quartermaster-setup-darwin-arm64-v1.0.0
SHA256SUMS covers every file here.
The other files, and who they are for
quartermaster-windows-amd64.exe and quartermaster-linux-amd64 /
-linux-arm64 / -darwin-arm64 are the bare server binary, not an
installer. Nothing about them creates a Start Menu entry, a desktop shortcut or
an uninstall record. They are published for two reasons:
- the in-app updater downloads one to replace the running binary, so a release
without them silently stops every existing install from updating; - a headless Linux or macOS box can run one directly:
chmod +x, point it at
a models folder, and install backends from Settings.
Installing for the first time? Take a quartermaster-setup-... file from
the instructions above.
