+#!/bin/bash
+#
+# Helper script for deploying llama.cpp server with a single Bash command
+#
+# - Works on Linux and macOS
+# - Supports: CPU, CUDA, Metal, OpenCL
+# - Can run all GGUF models from HuggingFace
+# - Can serve requests in parallel
+# - Always builds latest llama.cpp from GitHub
+#
+# Limitations
+#
+# - Chat templates are poorly supported (base models recommended)
+# - Might be unstable!
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./server-llm.sh [--port] [--repo] [--wtype] [--backend] [--gpu-id] [--n-parallel] [--n-kv] [--verbose]
+#
+#   --port:       port number, default is 8888
+#   --repo:       path to a repo containing GGUF model files
+#   --wtype:      weights type (f16, q8_0, q4_0, q4_1), default is user-input
+#   --backend:    cpu, cuda, metal, opencl, depends on the OS
+#   --gpu-id:     gpu id, default is 0
+#   --n-parallel: number of parallel requests, default is 8
+#   --n-kv:       KV cache size, default is 4096
+#   --verbose:    verbose output
+#
+# Example:
+#
+#   bash -c "$(curl -s https://ggml.ai/server-llm.sh)"
+#
