A developer expresses concern that if Nvidia acquires Llama.CPP, its development team, and Hugging Face, it could negatively impact support for older GPUs like V100s. The developer notes that Llama.CPP has been crucial for these older, cost-effective GPUs, and fears Nvidia might reduce their relevance to push newer technology. This could diminish incentives for developers to maintain these engines without financial support, despite the community's efforts to find solutions.
I dont know about others, but Nvidia is aiming (potentially) to close the lid on older GPUs since they want to push their new technology. Llama and team has been the to go places for older GPUs like V100s. Knowing how Nvidia have tried killing these GPUs of relevancy concerns me because they are great cards with lots of Vram at lower cost. I am sure that the community wil, still be working on solutions, but the incentives isnt the same when the developers are not getting paid and making a living keeping updated these engines.
Anybody else with similar concern, or am I overreacting?
