Summary

A researcher discovered 7 bugs in llama.cpp's router that went unpatched for years; after raising the issue, they and 10 others were banned for using AI, yet maintainers later used AI themselves, sparking accusations of hypocrisy and unethical behavior.

https://gist.github.com/h4rm0n1c/2c0f5a90011b464ffdaa5ed9452cade1 llama maintainers are totally crooked, completely unethical behavior. ollama isnt the only one with ethics issues. huggingface, who owns the project was notified via their legal department. disclaimer: I have a stake in this story. The fork where I ended up actually cares about better local ai and getting rid of the accursed mysterious 500 errors that people have dealt with forever unlike ggml main. local inference cannot be made better when there's hypocrites gatekeeping people who want to engage in serious collaborative effort on open source. I've got receipts in the gist above, llama.cpp has a culture problem with its maintainers. their own bosses want community engagement, their venture capitalists want it too, and these people out front are making it impossible.
