4 use cases
-
Watch tokens per second and TTFT on a local server
Attach the dashboard to a running llama-server and see tok/s, time to first token and GPU load update live.
- LLM Visuals
- Software and DevOps
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the repo DingoOz/llm-visuals, run `cargo run --release` against a llama-server listening on <server-port> with metrics enabled. Expected output: a dashboard listing that server with live tokens per second and time to first token while a request runs. Verify the model name and port shown match the server you started.
-
Preview every dashboard view with no GPU or model
Run the built-in demo to see all views on synthetic data before setting up a real server.
- LLM Visuals
- Software and DevOps
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the repo DingoOz/llm-visuals, run `cargo run --release -- --demo` in a terminal of at least 140 by 44 characters. Expected output: a dashboard showing a synthetic server and two synthetic GPUs. Verify that pressing `q` restores the terminal cleanly.
-
Record every request to a SQLite log for analysis
Start the dashboard with a log database so request rows are saved for later review.
- LLM Visuals
- Software and DevOps
- Intermediate
View prompt
Using the repo DingoOz/llm-visuals, start the dashboard with `cargo run --release -- --log-db llm.db` while a llama-server is running. Expected output: an llm.db file in the repo folder with one row per request. Verify the row count rises after you send a prompt.
-
Build release binaries for six OS and CPU targets
Cross-compile archives for Linux, macOS and Windows on x86-64 and ARM64 from one machine.
- LLM Visuals
- Software and DevOps
- Advanced
View prompt
Using the repo DingoOz/llm-visuals, run `./scripts/cross-build.sh` from the repo root. Expected output: archives for each target this host can link, written to dist/. Verify the count of archives matches the number of targets the script reports as buildable.
How to use LLM Visuals
- Check you have what it needs: Rust toolchain 1.75 or newer; A C compiler, needed by the bundled SQLite used for --log-db; A locally listening llama-server for throughput panels (the demo mode needs none).
- Open DingoOz/llm-visuals on GitHub and read the README and license.
- Install a Rust toolchain (1.75 or newer), then run
git clone https://github.com/DingoOz/llm-visuals. - Run
cd llm-visualsand thencargo run --release -- --demoto confirm the layout renders with synthetic data. - Start your model with metrics enabled, for example
llama-server --metrics, using the flag the README shows asllama-server.exe --metricson Windows. (inferred, check the README) - Run
cargo run --releasein the repo folder so the dashboard detects the running server.
These steps come from our top use case, Watch tokens per second and TTFT on a local server, which also has a copy-paste agent prompt.
