Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There are currently far too many models which cannot be loaded and run by LocalAI and performance/compatibility optimizations available by adding forks.
Describe the solution you'd like
Review and potentially add runners for projects like:
- https://github.com/ikawrakow/ik_llama.cpp
- https://github.com/EricLBuehler/mistral.rs
- https://github.com/evilsocket/cake
- ...
to homologate execution models for system+model nuances under the cover of "front-end."

Research direction
The issue names potential backends in ik_llama.cpp, mistral.rs, and cake but no LocalAI files or tests. Start by reviewing how existing runners expose model execution, then compare those projects for compatibility and performance differences. Done would mean selecting and integrating one or more runners behind a consistent front-end.
