can someone please give a quick summary of the criticism towards ollama?
as far as my intel goes it's a mozilla project shouldered mostly by one 10x programmer. i found ollama through hn and last time i didn't notice any lack of trust or suspected sketchiness ... so what changed?
IMO ggerganov is a 10x programmer in the same way Fabrice Bellard is: doing the actual hard infrastructure work that most developers would not be able to do in a reasonable amount of time and at a high performance.
In contrast, the ollama dev team is doing useful work (creating an easy interface) but otherwise mostly piggybacking off the already existing infrastructure

That's completely off the mark.

seems like i confused llamafile with ollama ... this whole llm biotope is a huge mess
ollama has been advertising llama.cpp features as their own, which I find very dishonest.
