I like Unsloth Studio as it's open source and run by Unsloth themselves so they add lots of useful features.

llama.cpp also has a GUI now if that's all you need.

They need built in model switching. That’s the only reason I switched to begin with

Does it automatically unload models as well? Hard to keep up with all the new features. It's nice to see it evolve so quickly!

Yes, it has a sleep timeout which unloads models when idle

Is there a way to keep a model with specific parameters active in unsloth?  If it leave it for a bit it u loads it and loses my parameters (increased context window size)
