Recently I had the need to monitor all the locally available #Ollama instances. Of course, you can ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ญ yourself, but why not have a tool in the history of btop/abtop ..

Only one ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ script utilizing ๐˜ค๐˜ถ๐˜ณ๐˜ญ, ๐˜ข๐˜ธ๐˜ฌ and ๐˜ซ๐˜ฒ. The name is the architecture: one llama is a pet, several across machines is a farm.

Tons of hotkeys to change update frequency, re-discovery of servers, probing their VRAM, cycling color themes. GitHub Actions ensure high quality code.
So give it a try and/or write a better version, #GPLv3 allows it: https://github.com/marcelpetrick/ollamaFarm/

๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿฌ ๐—บ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜€. That’s all it took me to get Bonsai 27B running locally on an RTX A2000 Laptop GPU with just 8GB of VRAM.

Bonsai 27B is based on Qwen 3.6, but uses PrismML’s custom native ๐Ÿ-๐›๐ข๐ญ ๐๐จ๐ง๐ฌ๐š๐ข format, reducing the model to just 3.9GB. A specialized ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐š๐ฆ๐š.๐œ๐ฉ๐ฉ fork implements custom CUDA kernels for the 1-bit inference path, making it possible to run the model directly on an 8GB GPU. The runtime exposes an OpenAI-compatible API, so existing tools and agents work without modification.
Performance is a different topic: 15 down to 9 tokens/s.

If you want to give it a try: find my notes and setup-scripts at GitHub: https://github.com/marcelpetrick/codingWithGPT/tree/master/bonsaiTestrun
