llama-cpp-rpc-distributed

llama-cpp-rpc-distributed is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool. It costs 62 tokens per session (1,345 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A guide for running one large language model across two Jetson computers using llama.cpp, a program for running language models locally, over a network with CUDA GPU support.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build llama.cpp with its network mode, convert models to GGUF format, and run multi-device model inference on Jetson hardware.
Why use it?
It lets the model's work be shared between devices when one Jetson does not have enough memory or processing capacity by itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

llama-cpp-rpc-distributed scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Distributed llama.cpp on Jetson (RPC Mode)

Run large language models across multiple Jetson devices by leveraging llama.cpp's RPC backend. This enables horizontal scaling — split model layers across GPUs on different machines connected via LAN.


Execution model

Run one phase at a time. After each phase:

  • Relay all output to the user.
  • If output contains [STOP] → stop, consult the failure decision tree.
  • If output ends with [OK] → tell the user "Phase N complete" and proceed.

Prerequisites

Requirement Detail
Hardware Two reComputer Jetson devices (e.g. Orin NX/AGX Orin)
JetPack 6.x+ with working CUDA drivers
Network Both devices on same LAN, able to ping each other
RAM Client ≥ 64 GB, remote node ≥ 32 GB (unified memory)
Storage ~5 GB free for build + model

Phase 1 — Clone and install build dependencies (~2 min)

Run on both machines:

git clone https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp.git
cd llama.cpp
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y build-essential cmake git libcurl4-openssl-dev python3-pip

[OK] when clone and apt install complete on both machines.


Phase 2 — Build with RPC + CUDA backend (~5 min)

Run on both machines:

cd llama.cpp
cmake -B build \
  -DGGML_CUDA=ON \
  -DGGML_RPC=ON \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build --parallel

Verify:

ls build/bin/llama-cli build/bin/rpc-server

[OK] when both llama-cli and rpc-server binaries exist. [STOP] if cmake or build fails — see failure decision tree.


Phase 3 — Install Python conversion tools (~1 min)

Run on the client machine (Machine A):

cd llama.cpp
pip3 install -e .

[OK] when pip install completes.


Phase 4 — Download and convert model (~5–10 min)

Using TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat as an example:

pip3 install huggingface-hub
huggingface-cli download TinyLlama/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0 --local-dir ~/TinyLlama-1.1B-Chat-v1.0

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

llama-cpp-rpc-distributed is a skill published in the GitHub repository Seeed-Projects/Seeed-Jetson-DevelopTool (54 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 1,345 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
