Long time llama.cpp user (and user of other ggml based AI programs) running on my crappy AMD card that only supports vulkan and it's usable thanks to GGML and llama.cpp, great program great project.
There's ample precedent for this. When you're building something to scratch an itch, the name is secondary. You cast about for one. Ah, you have a name. That'll do.
For example, DJ Delorie's djgpp project, built in 1989, was how I got into "real" programming on MS DOS.
Historically, Linus didn't name linux. Other people did it for him.

Awesome! ggml and llama.cpp are the Linux of the AI world. Driving local inference one bit at a time.
Wishing you unlimited power and may you never see a day of low battery. Respect and Love. Keep it up.
I prefer this entry point: https://github.com/ggml-org/ggml
Imagine naming a library after yourself.

Par for course for being Linux of AI

What do you think Linux is named after?
