@MattJamesBoyle Finally! My favs: weak pointers and the tool dependency management.

And it’s released! Instead of course this time, I wrote a bunch of blogs on all the new features, one to your inbox each day for the next week. Sign up here: bytesizego.com/go-124

@salman_paracha @rakyll I am happy with Ollama. Probably because I don't even understand what "not being able to get token logprobs" means, and how it would affect my use of LLMs. (Most of what's glaring and obvious for you as an AI specialist is beyond the average AI user... 🤷‍♂️)

@rakyll why not llama.cpp? is it because of lack of support for Mac? There are so many glaring and obvious misses in ollama (not being able to get token logprobs, for e.g.) that vLLM and llama.cpp feel like much better choices

What’s the local inference runtime(s) you depend on a daily basis? 👇 I’ll start, mine is Ollama.

A quick announcement: Black Friday is nearing, and my course Master Go is $60 off until Dec 2nd. This is a great occasion to enter the world of a true team language that makes programming fun again. More info at appliedgo.com/courses/master….
