Ollama's llama.cpp licensing issue goes unanswered for over a year
Ah - we're talking about different things.
I was concerned about the implication (or so I thought) that a binary executable should provide the required documentation (eg. via --version or similar). You are thinking about the text being included as part of a binary redistribution. That did not occur to me, because to me, GitHub issues refer to sources, not binary redistributions.
But of course GitHub does have a Releases page. If those binary redistributions do not contain the license text, then I accept that's something that Debian does do, and is the norm in our ecosystem.
But as other commenters have said, it's not completely clear that this is actually a violation of the license, since https://github.com/ollama/ollama/releases/tag/v0.7.0 for example bundles both source and binary downloads and the bundle does contain the license text via the source file download. Certainly anyone who downloads the binary from the maintainer via GitHub does have the required notice made available to them.

Ollama's new engine for multimodal models
They are talking a lot about this new engine - I'd love to see details on how it's actually implemented. Given llama.cpp is a herculean feat, if you are going to claim to have some replacement for it, an example of how you did it would be good!
Based on this part:
> We set out to support a new engine that makes multimodal models first-class citizens, and getting Ollama’s partners to contribute more directly the community - the GGML tensor library.
And from clicking through a github link they had:
https://github.com/ollama/ollama/blob/main/model/models/gemm...
My takeaway is, the GGML library (the thing that is the backbone for llama.cpp) must expose some FFI (foreign function interface) that can be invoked from Go, so in the ollama Go code, they can write their own implementations of model behavior (like Gemma 3) that just calls into the GGML magic. I think I have that right? I would have expected a detail like that to be front and center in the blog post.

None of the top 10 projects in GitHub is actually a software project 🤯
We see an addition to the AI community with AutoGPT. Along with Tensorflow they represent the AI community in the software category, which is getting relevant (2 out of 8). We can expect in the future to have new AI projects in the top 25 such as Transformers or Ollama (currently top 34 and 36, respectively).
