Why would they call the open version 'openllama'? Isn't llama that ai model?
Edit: Thanks for the downvotes people, I'm sorry for not knowing a meme in a language that's not my native from before I was born
"Winamp, it really whips the llama's ass"
The OG llama. Before The Emperor's New Groove, before Tina in Napoleon Dynamite and before llm's.
Not before llamas though. They be the most og.
Cease your heresy!
Not before SimCity’s llamas tho.
That's just a lie by the secret llama world government to distract us from whipping their asses.
Or Jeff Minter.
"why would they call the AI llama? Isn't that an animal?"
Because it has 'llm' in it? Makes way more sense than a music player formerly known as Winamp
Edit: it seems the company that owns it rebranded itself to llama last year. Still think it's a stupid choice since nobody knows their name and everybody knows Winamp. 'freeamp' would be the logical choice
they always had a llama as a mascot and as part of their slogan
Not always, since the Llama MP3 that came preloaded was introduced somewhere in 1.xx, yet that's still long enough (from 1998 to 2011 or so).
