Ozone drops hardware-aware TUI for local LLMs

Ozone is a new Rust-based terminal user interface designed to manage, benchmark, and chat with local LLMs via KoboldCpp and Ollama. It provides tiered workflows ranging from a minimal launcher to an automated benchmarking suite for finding optimal hardware configurations.

// ANALYSIS

Ozone addresses the chronic friction of local model management by combining orchestration and benchmarking into a single, terminal-native tool.

–Built in Rust to ensure a lightweight footprint while managing resource-heavy AI workloads
–Solves the common pain point of balancing context size and VRAM limits across different models
–Consolidates a launcher, hardware sweep analyzer, and persistent chat interface into one application
–Emphasizes optimization and efficiency over blindly scaling up parameter counts
