I am going to be honest, I am leery of this new partnership with Unsloth. Microsoft historically hated open source, and this will not benefit the community in the end. It will look great at first. They will drop updates, play nice, and everyone will celebrate. But if you have been around the block, you know exactly how this play ends. Microsoft spent decades aggressively trying to kill open source. A shiny PR campaign does not change corporate DNA. Calling it now, Microsoft is going to buy Unsloth and go after llama.cpp next.
