The llama.cpp team joins Hugging Face

Hugging Face announced that Georgi Gerganov and the GGML team behind llama.cpp were joining the company. The stated aim is to support the community and continued development of local model inference, while preserving the project’s continuity.

Context

Open infrastructure depends on people maintaining compatibility, fixing bugs, and supporting new hardware. That work attracts less attention than a model launch, but many applications rely on it. Sustainable maintenance can determine whether a tool remains usable years later, making the future of its team a significant part of the story.
