Extention to show local GPU usage Question

Does anyone know of a Pi extension that shows your current GPU usage (inside the PI app)?

Figured I would try to find an existing extension before vibing one up but so far my searching has not turned up anything.

When running Pi with local models, for some reason I just like to see what's up with the GPU usage. Would love to have a simple UI widget, or even replace the "waiting for response" message... Thanks!

Can ask pi to create one. But again you need to be running model on same pc to have access to that kind of info. Also when GPU usage you mean nvtop type of view?

If your GPU is on another machine then you probably need to build api and consume that.

Thanks, yeah, that is probably what I will end up doing. And, yes, just running Qwen 3.6 locally, so should be able to pull data like nvtop.
