AlphaLlama AI Engine
The local AI inference engine — runs models on your GPU. Required for local inference. Optional if using cloud-only mode.
1. Install the Engine
Linux (x86_64)
# Download curl -L https://alphachat.com/downloads/alphallama-linux-amd64.tar.gz -o alphallama.tar.gz # Extract and set library path tar xzf alphallama.tar.gz export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$(pwd)
Extracts to current directory. No root required. CUDA runtime bundled.
Supports all NVIDIA GPUs (Turing → Blackwell). Falls back to CPU if no GPU found.
Windows (x64)
# Download curl -L https://alphachat.com/downloads/alphallama-windows-x64.tar.gz -o alphallama.tar.gz # Extract tar xzf alphallama.tar.gz # Run alphallama.exe -m model.gguf --port 18080 -ngl 999
Extracts to current directory. Includes CUDA runtime (ggml-cuda.dll).
Supports all NVIDIA GPUs (Turing → Blackwell). Falls back to CPU if no GPU found.

2. Register (free)
AlphaLlama requires a free account. Register at alphachat.com/auth/register, then save your license token:
# After registering on alphachat.com, save your license token: mkdir -p ~/.alphachat echo "YOUR_LICENSE_TOKEN" > ~/.alphachat/license.jwt
Free tier: 2M token context, unlimited queries. No credit card needed.
3. Download a Model
# Download a model from HuggingFace (example: Qwen3.6 35B MoE) # Any GGUF model works — see Models page for full list curl -L https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF/resolve/main/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf -o model.gguf
Browse all supported models on the Models page. Any GGUF file works.
4. Run the Server
# Start AlphaLlama (auto-detects GPU) ./alphallama -m model.gguf --port 18080 -ngl 999 # Open the web UI in your browser # http://localhost:18080
The server starts a web UI at the specified port. -ngl 999 offloads all layers to GPU.
5. Query via API
# OpenAI-compatible endpoint
curl http://localhost:18080/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"model":"qwen","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"hello"}]}'
# Ollama-compatible endpoints also work:
# /api/chat, /api/tags, /api/ps, /api/showCompatible with any app that uses the OpenAI SDK — just change the base URL to http://localhost:18080.
6. Advanced Options
# Set context size (default: 4096) ./alphallama -m model.gguf --port 18080 -ngl 999 --ctx-size 32768 # Run multiple parallel requests ./alphallama -m model.gguf --port 18080 -ngl 999 --ctx-size 32768 --parallel 4 # Bind to all interfaces (for remote access) ./alphallama -m model.gguf --host 0.0.0.0 --port 18080 -ngl 999 # Skip license check (cloud/RunPod deployment) ./alphallama -m model.gguf --port 18080 -ngl 999 --no-license
