GPUTaskMan, created by shanselman, is a terminal‑based GPU task manager that works on Windows, Linux and WSL.
It reports per‑process VRAM consumption, engine activity and can break down LLM model weights and KV‑cache usage.
Installation is available via PyPI, pipx, uv or portable ZIPs for Windows (x64 and ARM64) and tar.gz for Linux (x64 and ARM64).
The tool requires Python 3.11+, a supported GPU driver and no CUDA Toolkit or model downloads to monitor workloads.
What it means for you
For users of free or locally hosted models, the visibility can guide resource allocation and avoid out‑of‑memory crashes.
