ModelBake Real build

Build history for GGUF files

See what changed
in your GGUF.

ModelBake remembers the model, converter, settings, and files from your last build. Build again and it shows the difference.

  • runs locally
  • never uploads your model
  • free and open source
  • macOS + Linux

Why Git is not enough

Git says clean.
The release changed.

Your code can stay the same while the downloaded model, converter, or finished GGUF changes. ModelBake checks all of them.

See exactly what Git misses

The actual product

Every build gets one readable record. The next build gets a clear before-and-after.

Remember.
Then compare.

ModelBake build record showing the source, toolchain, runner, and release graph.
Build recordOpen any step. Inspect the input, tool, command, output digest, and evidence scope.
ModelBake release comparison showing reused and newly added outputs.
Release diffSee reused work and new outputs without reconstructing the release from logs.

No model required

Try a sample build.

Replay a tiny example and open any step. Nothing is uploaded and no real model is needed.

Why you come back

Every new build
gets easier.

Unchanged work is reused. Changed work is obvious.

Add it to your current workflow

Keep Git.
Add one check.

ModelBake runs beside Git and llama.cpp. Add one CI step and every GGUF release gets a record and a comparison.

MODEL RELEASE / CI●
- uses: ./.github/actions/modelbake
  with:
    recipe: modelbake.yaml
    baseline-store: .modelbake/baselines
    baseline-name: production
    enable-github-cache: "false"

✓ record the artifact bytes produced
✓ verify the current bytes
✓ compare with the accepted predecessor
✓ stop local acceptance when bytes move

Evidence, correctly named

Know what
green means.

THE BUILD ESTABLISHESTHE BUILD DOES NOT ESTABLISH
✓

Output bytes were produced and digested.

×

No model quality conclusion.

✓

The fixture adapter decoded each requested test artifact.

×

That any model runtime opened them.

✓

The manifest records source, recipe, runner, and output digests.

×

Future reproduction, license, security, or production readiness.

“A green process exit is not a green model.”

Local from the first build

Run the
first diff.

The local CLI stays free. No account. No model upload. One command shows the complete baseline → candidate → diff loop.
