GGML and llama.cpp join HF to ensure the long-term progress of Local AI

Georgi Gerganov and the GGML team (creators of llama.cpp) are joining Hugging Face, with HF providing sustainable resources while the project remains 100% open-source and community-driven. The technical focus will be on making it seamless ("single-click") to ship new models in llama.cpp directly from the transformers library as the canonical model definition source. This is a significant consolidation in the local inference ecosystem — llama.cpp is the foundational runtime for running LLMs locally, so this alignment with HF could meaningfully accelerate local AI tooling for developers.
