De TL;DR: KoboldCpp is a single-binary AGPL-licensed local LLM runner built around the creative writing and roleplay use case. It beats Ollama on sampler control and beats text-generation-webui on setup friction. If you're writing fiction or running a roleplay setup, this is the tool to reach for first.
