>The number of games that run natively on Vulkan is negligible

Firstly, several games engines and rendering libraries support it.

Secondly, it does not have to be _native_, on top of Vulkan you can run OpenGL and Direct3D emulation layers, which will cover most of the rest. macOS has long since abandoned their native OpenGL drivers, and MoltenVK has many caveats.

Can you please explain how you extract (or get it to generate) the links?

It claims to support it if you build it from source, but it's experimental / in development.

Have you tried using local models for this? Are they simply not capable enough for something like this?

What model is this using? Is there any more information on it?

Bah, don't give them ideas! Honestly, codecs are a worrying target for supply chain attacks because they're complex and use a lot of memory-unsafe code. Just look at all the image format attacks throughout history (a memorable recent one being the libwebp vulnerability.)

It's also a testament to the power of open source software. ffmpeg is in a significant amount of software touching audio/video in some way, and we are all enriched because everyone is free to use it.

I've gotten some useful stuff out of 7B param LLMs, and that should fit on a Pi quantized.

It of course depends on what you mean by "large", but one obvious case is rsvg.

Is it normal (or beneficial) for a corporation of this size to put out a press release like this regarding ongoing lawsuits?

Yes, they're often quite uncanny and turn me off. Then again, I don't like off-topic stock photos either. I'd rather see no images than either.

I agree that some of the rhetoric can be off-putting, and it put me off personally for a long time. I think we should let the results speak for themselves -- there's an impressive and solid ecosystem of high-quality software, and there's more every day. That should be enough to sell it on its merits without being a little too forceful. I think the Linux kernel is taking the right approach on this too.
