alt Hacker NewsIt feels like a bit of history is missing... If ollama was founded 3 years before llama.cpp was released, what engine did they use then? When did they transition?

They spent several years in stealth mode but the initial release was llama.cpp.
Ollama v0.0.1 "Fast inference server written in Go, powered by llama.cpp" https://github.com/ollama/ollama/tree/v0.0.1

I don't think that is the case. Llama.cpp appeared within weeks after meta released llama to select researchers (which then made it out to the public). 3 years before that nobody knew of the name llama. I'm sure that llama.cpp existed first
