In this workshop, Bill will introduce <strong>Kronk</strong>, a Go SDK that lets you embed local model inference directly into your Go applications with full GPU acceleration — <strong>no CGO required</strong>.</p> <p>Whether you are building chat, vision, audio, embedding, or tool calling applications, Kronk gives you the same power as a model server without needing one. You will see live demos from writing your first chat app to driving a coding agent with a local model.</p>
