Flyweight: open-source C++/CUDA engine for running MoE models bigger than your VRAM on one GPU + system RAM. First PyPI release, looking for contributors.

Excerpt

Been building this for a few months, mostly for myself, and it just got a proper release so figured I'd post it. It's a native GGUF inference runtime with OpenAI/Anthropic-compatible APIs and a chat UI.
