GGML – AI at the Edge

The establishment of ggml.ai a company focusing ggml and llama.cpp, the most innovative and exciting platform to come for local LLMs, on a Open Core model is just laziness.

Just because you can (and have the connections), doesn't mean you should. It's a sad state of OSS when the best most brightest developers/founders reach for antiquated models.

Maybe we take up a new rules in OSS communities that say you must release your CORE software as MIT at the same time you plan to go Open Core (and no sooner).

Why should OSS communities take on your product market fit?!

This looks off-topic since GGML has not announced anything about open core and their software is already MIT.

More generally, if you want to take away somebody's business model you need to provide one that works. It isn't easy.

Agreed with you 100% - its not easy. Sometimes I just wish someone as talented as Georgi would innovate not just on the core tech side but bring that same tenancy to the licensing side, in a way that aligns incentives better and tries out something new. And that the community would have his back if some new approach failed, no matter what.
