I follow llama.cpp pretty closely as I use either llama.cpp itself or projects that depend on it all the time, and one thing that I don't think gets talked about is the sheer scale of community involvement. It seems like a logistical nightmare, but somehow thousands of different contributors are opening hundreds of PR's every week and getting them merged in to support various hardware or implement a new pattern or algorithm from a recent research paper. It's really quite awe inspiring for me to see, and think it is in no small part because of the leadership of ggerganov - so I'm happy to see that he is sticking around and plans to keep building this incredibly useful tool that has grown into a huge community at this point.
