A Reddit user alleges they discovered a chain of seven bugs in the llama.cpp router that remained unpatched for years. The author states that after reporting the issues, they and ten others were banned from the project's community for using artificial intelligence.
- The user claims the maintainers exhibited unethical behavior and hypocrisy by banning contributors while reportedly using AI themselves.
- The author notified Hugging Face, which owns the llama.cpp project, through its legal department regarding these conduct issues.
- A fork of the project was created to address local inference improvements and eliminate persistent 500 errors found in the main ggml repository.
The article highlights a conflict between the user and the maintainers regarding community engagement and ethical standards in open-source development.
