Questions
Can ChatGPT run llama.cpp on my computer?
Yes. With BCD on your Mac or Linux computer and command permission turned on for it, ChatGPT runs llama.cpp there and reads the output. Claude and other apps with MCP connectors can too.
Do I need to install llama.cpp first?
No. If Homebrew is installed, the AI can run brew install llama.cpp for you.
Is it safe?
A new computer starts read-only: running commands is turned on per computer, and BCD reaches only the folders you allow.
