    A human could read the llms.txt if they want to. And a developer could put ads in llms.txt if they wanted to!

    You seem to be misunderstanding why a website would make llms.txt Obviously, they would not make it just for an AI company to scrape Here's an example. Let's say I run a dev tools …

    I am eager to learn the pricing as well. It works sooo well but the pricing will make or break whether it's viable for apps

    the ability to invert a function sounds crazy to me. I never imagined that was possible

    why do you say "just" a wrapper? it is not a bad thing to be a wrapper, it is just a descriptive term the amount of code does not dictate whether or not it is a wrapper.

    I think what you just said actually reinforces the point that ollama is a llama.cpp wrapper. I don't say that to disparage ollama, in fact I love ollama. It is an impressive piece …

    It's a strawman to say that money is fake because no serious economist argues that money is "real". Of course it is fake. We use money because it's a useful way to organize society…
