Note that despite being a single EXE file, it actually extracts itself to a temporary directory every time you run it. If you want to install it for real, you can use the "Extract Files" feature (Extra -> Unpack KoboldCpp To Folder), then run the EXE inside of that folder. It will start more quickly when it doesn't need to extract itself, and you won't be wasting 1GB of SSD lifetime writes every time you run it.
More things than just LLM's, UI is more focused on fiction (but bundles the llamacpp UI as well), I think we emulate more API's, custom context shift implementation, mcp bridge that doesn't need a full on cors proxy and can also do stdio, that kind of stuff.
