## AI overview

Georgi Gerganov and the ggml team are joining Hugging Face to support the llama.cpp and ggml communities while retaining autonomy over technical direction and community leadership. The collaboration will provide long-term resources, improve integration between model definitions and llama.cpp, simplify packaging and user experience, and expand access to efficient local inference on devices.
