Why Anubis?

The local LLM ecosystem on macOS is fragmented. Chat wrappers focus on conversation, monitors are CLI-only, and nothing correlates hardware with inference.

Chat Wrappers
Ollama, LM Studio, Jan focus on conversation -; not systematic performance testing or hardware analysis.
CLI Monitors
asitop, macmon, mactop show hardware stats but have no LLM context or inference correlation.
Eval Frameworks
promptfoo and similar tools require YAML configs and terminal expertise. No native GUI, no telemetry.
Anubis
Native macOS app that correlates GPU, CPU, power, memory, and frequency with live inference -; with one-click benchmarks and community leaderboards.

Features

Everything you need to benchmark, compare, and understand local LLM performance on your Mac.

Benchmark Dashboard

Real-time dashboard with 8 metric cards, 7 live charts, power telemetry, and configurable prompt presets. Stream responses with live hardware overlay.

Arena Mode

Side-by-side A/B model comparison with sequential or parallel execution. Vote for a winner -; results are persisted with full stats.

Vault

Unified model management across all backends. Pull, delete, inspect, and unload models. Auto-enriched metadata from HuggingFace.

Power Telemetry

GPU, CPU, ANE, and DRAM power in watts via IOReport. See watts-per-token efficiency and compare quantizations by actual power cost.

Process Monitoring

Auto-detects backend process by port. Tracks real memory footprint including Metal/GPU allocations. Manual override available.

Export & History

Full session history with replay. Export as CSV, Markdown, or shareable 2x retina PNG. Respects light and dark mode.
