The day's highest-scoring r/LocalLLaMA post points out the deal takes the llama.cpp and ggml copyright along with the team Hugging Face hired in February 2026, including Georgi Gerganov (r/LocalLLaMA). The top reply at 957 upvotes is "If it happens, we shall fork and move on. It is the way of things," and a separate thread argues Nvidia has an incentive to drop support for older cards like the V100 that llama.cpp keeps alive. The counter-argument: Nvidia and llama.cpp maintainers have been collaborating on multi-GPU and tensor-parallel work in ggml for months.
