The AI Coding Assistant You’re Not Using (Because It’s Written in D)

📅 August 19, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

DLLM is a minimal coding agent built directly on llama.cpp in the D language—no Python, no bloat, no GPU required. For developers frustrated with heavyweight AI assistants, it offers a lean, fast alternative that feels like a return to fundamentals. The choice of D is a deliberate philosophy, not a quirk.

Why llama.cpp’s New App is a Betrayal (and Why You Should Be Thrilled)

📅 August 17, 2026 📂 AI & Machine Learning

llama.cpp just launched llama.app, a direct competitor to Ollama. This isn’t a technical battle—it’s a war over distribution and user experience. The open source project that built the raw engine now wants to own the end-user relationship. The real question: can you trust a tool that started as a DIY project to become a polished product?
