This is actually a fascinating topic that I researched a bit, because I was immensely frustrated to be unable to use Chinese maps (specifically Amap, my favorite) outside China. First of all, people are unaware of just how superior Chinese maps are: some of the features are so

Georgi's llama.cpp really kicked off the whole local model thing in my opinion - it made original Llama usable on personal computers, I wrote about it back in March 2023 https://t.co/WZ3nzpZRNT
Today https://t.co/jFknDoasSy joins Hugging Face Together we will continue to build ggml, make llama.cpp more accessible and empower the open-source community. Our joint mission is to make local AI easy and efficient to use by everyone on their own hardware.

Please come back! Brits are very welcome in the European Union
This is all over the press right now. 58% of Brits want to rejoin the EU. 86% of 18-24 year olds want to rejoin. The British people were sold a lie pushed by Nigel Farage funded by President Putin to break up Europe. Do you support The United Kingdom rejoining?
