OpenFeint was founded by the same guy who founded Discord.
From the Wikipedia page: "In 2011, OpenFeint was party to a class action suit with allegations including computer fraud, invasion of privacy, breach of contract, bad faith and seven other statutory violations. According to a news report "OpenFeint's business plan included accessing and disclosing personal information without authorization to mobile-device application developers, advertising networks and web-analytic vendors that market mobile applications"."
I was entertaining an offer from Discord and also stumbled upon the founder’s former company debacle. The platform vision pitched to me in the interview seemed similar and seeing as how he started to implement spyware I decided to bail.
Super annoying. I have an RX 6600 XT and can't get ROCm to work on Linux.
Vulkan ML however worked perfectly out of the box, so at least I got something.
The caveat being that PyTorch has a lot of dependencies and a couple of them are not yet available in Debian Unstable. For folks wanting to use StableDiffusion, that's a problem. However, the available packages are more than sufficient for llama-cpp as you point out.
