    Not mentioned in the list, but a project worth keeping an eye on:

    “llamafile: bringing LLMs to the people, and to your own computer - Introducing the latest Mozilla Innovation Project llamafile, an open source initiative that collapses all the complexity of a full-stack LLM chatbot down to a single file that runs on six operating systems.”

      I’m honestly more interested by the OS-agnostic executable than by the LLM here. How?

        Here’s the answer, but I have absolutely no idea what it means…

        https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan

        Cosmopolitan Libc makes C a build-once run-anywhere language, like Java, except it doesn’t need an interpreter or virtual machine. Instead, it reconfigures stock GCC and Clang to output a POSIX-approved polyglot format that runs natively on Linux + Mac + Windows + FreeBSD + OpenBSD + NetBSD + BIOS with the best possible performance and the tiniest footprint imaginable.

        Seems to me like they counted Unix 5 times.
