Georgi Gerganov, creator of llama.cpp, responds to NVIDIA's acquisition of Hugging Face, expressing excitement and reassurance. He highlights NVIDIA's year-long support of llama.cpp, including engineering contributions and hardware provisioning, and affirms that llama.cpp/ggml will remain hardware-agnostic, with community-driven development across all backends.
