[This crate](https://github.com/ShelbyJenkins/llm_client) has been in a usable state for quite awhile, so I figured now is fair to add it.
It installs from crates.io, and automatically downloads the llama.cpp repo and builds it for the target platform - with the goal being the easiest user experience possible.
It also integrates model presets and choosing the largest quant given the target's available VRAM. So a user just has to specify one of the presets (I manually add the most popular models), and it will download from hugging face.
So, it's like a Rust Ollama, but it's not really for chatting. It makes heavy use of llama.cpp's grammar system to do structured output for decision making and control flow tasks.
