Can you share a bit more about your bifrost and llama swap setup? I’m facing memory constraints and am looking for a managed model solution that will help with hot swapping loaded models and stay-warm concurrency. Ideally with prioritization.

What do you want to know? Just start llama-swap with the models i have downloaded, add llama-swap as a provider in bifrost, expose the models you want and they become available in one single endpoint you can use in anything like opencode, openwebui or anything that speaks openai.

Yes, that makes sense. Some of my models currently run in ollama while others require their own inference servers. I’m curious about custom inference servers in bifrost and the ability to orchestrate keeping some models warm in memory while evicting and cycling other models. All of which span different providers in bifrost (I think). Obviously I can get the mechanics from an agent, more wondering about any experience with something similar.
