After more than 16 months of development, I'm excited to finally release LLM Controller Community Edition (CE) v1.0 as open-source software.

LLM Controller CE is a self-hosted, local-first web application for running and managing GGUF language models through llama-server It combines conversations, model management, runtime control, benchmarking, GPU monitoring, live logs, installation, and administration into a single browser interface.

The goal was never to build just another chat interface. I wanted local AI to feel like a complete product that you can install, manage, and use on hardware you control.

LLM Controller CE has been validated on both Windows and Ubuntu Linux, supports NVIDIA and AMD GPU environments where compatible tooling is available, and is released under the GPLv3 open-source license.

This has been one of the largest software projects I've built, and I'm incredibly happy to finally share it.

I hope you enjoy using it as much as I enjoyed building it!
