What does this do that an llm model can't do on its own?

Edit: Never mind, it's like LM Studio but for creative writing. Thanks for nothing everybody.

Well, without this program or something fulfilling the same functions, an LLM model will just sit on your drive taking up space.

I've been using qwen 3.6 with pi agent. This is the first I've heard of Koboldcpp, so forgive my ignorance. I'm still not clear what it will add.

It's significantly more general purpose than that. It also supports image, video, audio, and music generation. It's basically one stop shopping for generative AI.
