Will Ollama finally properly credit llama.cpp ? Or will they continue to rebrand new llama.cpp features as their own?
khurs•6h ago
>Today, we’re announcing that Ollama has raised money from VCs...

Note to self, Enshittification ahead. Don't use any ollama services unless it's calling an industry standard api.

To any ollama.com dudes and dudettes reading this: why won't you offer any embedding models on your subscription when they are readily supported by the software and fairly efficient to run?
intothemild•3h ago
This is all lovely and I wish them the best.

But please don't use ollama, or their quants. Not only is the app itself slower than pure llamacpp. But their quants are often no where near the best.

I really hope people start with something like unsloth, as their software and quants are really much better all around.

I wasn't aware of the politics behind Ollama but I have noticed the lack of variety in quant versions, the lag between availability on Ollama, and their push to get you to use their cloud versions.

I'm going to uninstall Ollama.

aceazzameen•1h ago
I don't use local models often enough, but this convinced me to uninstall ollama. Now I need to figure out which of the options at the end of that post is the best alternative for me.

If that's what I'd have to do to get $88 million, I don't want $88 million.

I've been very happy with vLLM as an alternative on the serving side, and OpenCode Go on the subscription side

This post is empty of any relevant content.

I wish HN would stop sharing drama-seeking posts, especially by anonymous authors, attacking the hard work of people.

Are ollama's authors perfect? No, they are just humans. But many people find their work valuable and we should support Open Source.

I can assure you that you won't like the world where nobody release Open Source projects anymore because of the constant negativity.

A year and still no implementation for such a basic need as offloading MoE layers onto the CPU selectively. On llama.cpp I can get models like Qwen 35BA3B running partially on gpu/cpu with 40t/s on a laptop thanks to --n-cpu-moe but on this VC funded joke it would be simply unusable. I can't quite understand how you make a wrapper so much worse than the code you're ripping out.

>This funding is fuel for what’s ahead. Ollama sits front and center in the open model ecosystem

No.

rvz•1h ago
> The local LLM ecosystem doesn’t need Ollama. It needs llama.cpp. The rest is packaging, and better packaging already exists.

Then put those LLMs to work and build an open source alternative to everything that Ollama is doing.

After all, open source is a pricing weapon to race everything to $0.

ekianjo•1h ago
dont use Ollama. llamacpp is better in every way.
wazoox•1h ago
Annoyingly many useful tools like the "Page Assist" browser extension or "Murmure" are plug-and-play only with Ollama...

Georgi Gerganov, the author of llama.cpp, is the real hero here.

Cool to learn that the founders also had a hand in developing Docker Desktop in the past!
JSR_FDED•52m ago
The VCs listed in the article aren’t the dumbest ones around. Why on earth would they invest in a shell around the actual technology?

Were they so enraptured with the “docker for LLMs” line?

twsted•27m ago
Another chance to tip their hat to llama.cpp, missed. I really don't get it.
pyaamb•5m ago
Do you see any negativity towards llama.cpp? This isnt drama-seeking. The author makes very valid points.
