I think you are missing the point. To get things straight: llama.cpp is not hard to setup and get running. It was a bit of a hassle in 2023 but even then it was not catastrophically complicated if you were willing to read the errors you were getting. People are dissatisfied for two, very valid reasons: ollama gives little to no credit to llama.cpp. The second one is the point of the post: a PR has been open for over 6 months and not a huge PR at that has been completely ignored. Perhaps the ollama maintainers personally don't have use for it so they shrugged it off but this is the equivalent of "it works on my computer". Imagine if all kernel devs used Intel CPUs and ignored every non-intel CPU-related PR. I am not saying that the kernel mailing list is not a large scale version of a countryside pub on a Friday night - it is. But the maintainers do acknowledge the efforts of people making PRs and do a decent job at addressing them. While small, the PR here is not trivial and should have been, at the very least, discussed. Yes, the workstation/server I use for running models uses two Nvidia GPU's. But my desktop computer uses an Intel Arc and in some scenarios, hypothetically, this pr might have been useful.
