A 23-year-old ex-OpenAI researcher just raised $1.5B predicting AGI by 2027—with zero investment experience. History shows fever dreams burn billions while real breakthroughs start small. Are we watching the next Amazon or the next Theranos?
Albania just appointed the world's first AI government minister to handle all public procurement. Diella promises corruption-free contracts as the country races toward EU membership by 2027. But can algorithms resist human manipulation?
Good Morning from San Francisco, Microsoft and OpenAI just signed a truce. After months of heated negotiations that nearly triggered

GGML (GPT-Generated Model Language) is the predecessor to GGUF, designed for efficient CPU inference of large language models through aggressive quantization.
GGML quantizes model weights to 4-bit or 8-bit integers, dramatically reducing memory usage. It uses optimized matrix multiplication routines for CPU architectures.
The format focuses on inference speed rather than training, stripping unnecessary information to minimize file size.
GGML pioneered running billion-parameter models on consumer CPUs, making AI accessible without specialized hardware. It inspired a wave of local AI applications.
Though superseded by GGUF, many tools still support GGML for backward compatibility.
