Scouting report
Wrote Cosmopolitan Libc, which produces a single binary that runs natively on Linux, macOS, Windows and BSD, then used it to build llamafile — a whole language model and its runtime in one executable file you can copy to a machine and run. Also contributed substantial CPU inference speedups back to llama.cpp.
Curator’s note
Distribution as an engineering problem, solved with unreasonable rigour.
