I have been waiting for this! Nice

Can’t check it out yet, but the concept alone sounds great. Thank you for sharing.

Ollama is quite a bad example here. Despite popular, it's a simple wrapper and more and more pushed by the app it wraps llama.cpp.

Don't understand here the parallel.

Since generative AI exploded, it's all anyone talks about. But traditional ML still covers a vast space in real-world production systems. I don't need this tool right now, but glad to see work in this area.

"classical ML" models typically have a more narrow range of applicability. in my mind the value of ollama is that you can easily download and swap-out different models with the same API. many of the models will be roughly interchangeable with tradeoffs you can compute.

if you're working on a fraud problem an open-source fraud model will probably be useless (if it even could exist). and if you own the entire training to inference pipeline i'm not sure what this offers? i guess you can easily swap the backends? maybe for ensembling?

If the focus is performance, why use a separate process and have to deal with data serialization overhead?

Why not a typical shared library that can be loaded in python, R, Julia, etc., and run on large data sets without even a memory copy?

sriram_malhar•24m ago
Perhaps because the performance is good enough and this approach is much simpler and portable than shared libraries across platforms.

If AI writes code, should the session be part of the commit?
