Show HN: Janus – Go binary that runs GGUF models via Vulkan on AMD/Intel/Nvidia
Janus — Local LLM server & OpenAI-compatible API Janus is a single Go binary that runs .gguf models on your machine (GPU or CPU) and exposes an OpenAI-compatible API plus a built-in web UI. No Python, no Docker, no Ollama required — though Ollama is supported as a backend if you prefer. Use it your way: call it from the command line (curl, PowerShell, scripts), wire it into Cursor / Cline / any OpenAI client, or use the Web UI — same local models, whatever workflow fits you.

Use it your way: call it from the command line (curl, PowerShell, scripts), wire it into Cursor / Cline / any OpenAI client, or use the Web UI — same local models, whatever workflow fits you. Janus is the runner and router; you choose the front end. Design idea: the model decides what to do; Go runs inference, routes requests, executes tools, and keeps everything local.
