Massive day for local AI — Georgi Gerganov’s ggml team joins Hugging Face, Anthropic launches AI-powered code security scanning, and both Altman and Hassabis weigh in on AGI timelines.
Georgi Gerganov and the ggml team are joining Hugging Face to ensure the long-term sustainability of local AI. llama.cpp remains 100% open-source with full community autonomy — Gerganov keeps making all technical and architectural decisions.
The goal: seamless “single-click” deployment of new models from the transformers library into llama.cpp. As local inference becomes competitive with cloud, this partnership aims to make llama.cpp ubiquitous and accessible everywhere.
Quick hits — benchmarks, open-source trends, and model performance.
