- Simplified deployment: Quickly start modeling services via interactive menus or command line mode
- model management: auto-discovery and management of local model files, support for loading remote models directly from HuggingFace Hub
- Configuration flexibilityProvides a variety of pre-set optimized configurations and also supports custom parameter tuning.
- Monitoring and Maintenance: Real-time view of server status, including GPU utilization and log information
