If you install llama.cpp via Homebrew, llama-mtmd-cli is already included. So you can simply run `llama-mtmd-cli <args>`

AFAIK, Phi-4-multimodal doesn't support TTS, but I understand OP's point.

The recent Qwen's release is an excellent example of model providers collaborating with the local community (which include inference engine developers and model quantizers?). It would be nice if this collaboration extended to wrapper developers as well, so that end-users can enjoy a great UX from day one of any model release.

The local community seems to have converged on a few wrappers: Open WebUI (general-purpose), LM Studio (proprietary), and SillyTavern (for role-playing). Now that llama.cpp has an OpenAI-compatible server (llama-server), there's a lot more options to choose from.

I've noticed there really aren't many active FOSS wrappers these days - most of them have either been abandoned or aren't being released with the frequency we saw when OpenAI API first launched. So it would be awesome if you could share your wrapper with us at some point.
