Vibra-Ingenn/Janus
Janus is a API router for AI models written in Go and has a Vulkan Model runner
About the project
Local LLM server in Go: runs .gguf models via llama.cpp (Vulkan or CPU) and exposes an OpenAI-compatible API with a web UI and built-in tools.
Useful for
- Run a local model and call it from Cursor or Cline via the OpenAI-compatible endpoint
- Hot-swap .gguf models in the web UI without restarting the server
- Run tool-calling tasks (files, commands, OCR) through the Kernel tab
