 "title": "Run a third-party GGUF model with limited file and memory access",
 "page_title": "How to run a third-party GGUF model with limited file and memory access with Go Llama",
 "summary": "Restrict the model to one directory and cap its memory using llama.New options.",
 "who": "A security-minded engineer who must run a model file from an outside source on a shared server.",
 "problem": "An unknown model file should not be able to see the whole filesystem or grow memory without limit.",
 "outcome": "The guest can read only the chosen model directory, and an oversized model fails inside the sandbox.",
 "steps": [
  "Place the model file in one dedicated directory such as /srv/models.",
  "Pass llama.WithPreopenDir with that directory to llama.New.",
  "Set a memory limit with llama.WithMaxMemory to cap growth.",
  "Run `go run .` and confirm an oversized model fails with an error instead of growing the host process. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "In the Go project at <project-path>, create a llama.New instance with WithPreopenDir set to /srv/models and WithMaxMemory set to a limit you choose, then load <model-file>.gguf. Expected output: a successful load for a small model and an error for a model larger than the cap. Verify that the program cannot open files outside /srv/models.",

 "requirements": [
  "A Go toolchain installed on your machine",
  "A GGUF model file, such as model.gguf",
  "Enough memory for the model weights and KV cache, since the README notes wasm32 caps linear memory at 4 GiB"
