Seconded. I don't know if I would want to be involved if Meta was organizing the effort, but I also don't want to be involved if they are using the name of a model (family of models) that they don't own to capitalize on the brand recognition.

But to be honest, not to defend the author since I also have this complaint but uh literally r/localllama, ollama.

There was a lot of llama hype in the starting tbh, and we all know how naming things is the hardest thing sometimes in software.

Both r/localllama and ollama started out as a way to run Llama open-weight specifically before they branched out to other models. So those names are okay, since Llama is in their heritage. This launch is specifically for models other than Llama, so it is not okay.

good point, makes sense imo. but still iirc the author was inspired by r/localllama but yeah, it would make a lot more sense if they change their name given that it can be trademarks issue idk

Good feedback thanks!
