I wish you people would go away.

Want people to use yours? Make it better

> Is llama.cpp (and thus llama.app)

llama.app is just an URL (for the "advertisement" webpages of llama.cpp outside GitHub).

> that much better than Ollama

llama.cpp is the real thing, ollama was a fork that remained inferior.

Nah Ollama is way more friendly to use, glad they forked it. Love having options

ollama uses llama.cpp

The dev behind ollama is adamant that ollama doesn't use llama.cpp (based on a technicality -- it uses ggml, which is created by the same people behind llama.cpp and is the backend of llama.cpp)

He made such a big fuss about ollama implementing their own kernels and felt slighted about the online comments saying ollama didn't properly credit llama.cpp and it kind of left a bad taste in the mouth among the local inference community.

For me personally, it was this that made me avoid them at all costs: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11714#issuecomment-3...

Ok and now llama.cpp is copying Ollama
