With HuggingFace, Nvidia is also acquiring llama.cpp and the team behind it
TLDR
In addition to the Hugging Face platform acquisition, Nvidia would effectively acquire the llama.cpp project and its core development team, which joined Hugging Face in February. llama.cpp is the dominant open-source runtime for running local LLMs on consumer hardware. This concentration raises questions about whether the project will remain hardware-neutral and freely licensed going forward.
