AI Training Shouldn't Erase Authorship

I just learned 42 programming languages this month to build a new syntax highlighter for llamafile. I feel like I'm up to my eyeballs in programming languages right now. Now that it's halloween, I thought I'd share some of the spookiest most surprising syntax I've seen.

Imagine you have a workload where all your threads need to do a serialized operation. With Cosmo, if you're looking at htop, then it's going to appear like only one core is active, whereas glibc and musl libc will fill up your entire CPU meter. That's bad news if you're running a lot of jobs on the same server....

Cosmopolitan's Windows support may finally be feature complete. It's now possible to send signals between processes using kill() on Windows. Ten new torture test programs have been written to tease out more fixes and offer a high level of assurance that signal handling is correct. Some of these tests are good...

I just wrote 84 new matrix multiplication kernels for llamafile which enable it to read prompts / images faster. Compared to llama.cpp, prompt eval time with llamafile should go anywhere between 30% and 500% faster when using F16 and Q8_0 weights on CPU. The improvements are most dramatic for ARMv8.2+ (e.g....

I spent the last month working with Mozilla to launch an open source project called llamafile which is the new best way to run an LLM on your own computer. So far things have been going pretty smoothly. The project earned 5.6k stars on GitHub, 1073 upvotes on Hacker News, and received press coverage from ...
