Technology@lemmy.world•Nvidia has been in talks to acquire Hugging Face for more than $13 billionEnglish
7·4 days agoi just read this: https://reddit.com/comments/1w01y1f
With this move Nvidia is not only acquiring the HuggingFace platform, but they might also effectively acquire the copyright to the
llama.cppproject, together with the entire team behind it.In February 2026 the llama.cpp team was employed by HF in order to continue working on llama.cpp and the ggml library.
This includes:
- Georgi Gerganov
- Xuan-Son Nguyen
- Aleksander Grygier
- Victor Mustar
- Lysandre
- Julien Chaumond
Now with the acquisition, llama.cpp’s future looks a lot less certain given Nvidia’s poor track record with open-source.
This is still rather speculative at this stage, but it’s definitely possible for the llama.cpp project to change in the future: either by switching to a different license, or by having staff redirected to other projects within the larger company.
Even when a project is open-source the copyright owner has complete control over it, and they can change licensing as they wish.
This has happened before with projects like Redis, Minio, and others.

Edit:
The original announcement from Feb 2026 from Gerganov gives a few more details:

furthermore, i disabled play services. i dont need it for 99% of apps.
sometimes theres one cool heavily proprietary app that forces you to use it. sucks. and i just gotta uninstall it.

1·13 days agoi dont want to share it. but it was easy to add a little more description for basic criteria in the request. although, i did not detail a step-by-step process for drawing.
i had this idea to feed it an actual image, to base the drawing on. but i wasnt able to. llama.cpp seems to be messed up[esp vulkan pkg](and also i probably dont know the proper way to utilize features(if they even exist for a model))

6·14 days agoim not bothered by it.
but also… i wouldn’t use it as my sole model to perform every task. [waves hand toward huggingface.] ( a gazillion bajillion models, specialized for all types of tasks).edit: i checked. and there aren’t as many models as i expected, for this task(didnt test them). and… small multimodal model failed badly(see picture of the iguana … or whatever the hell that is)
it’s a strange benchmark. but it seems reasonable to expect LLMs to be able to do this.
