I think the irony here is that it's *already* rather easy to "run models from Hugging Face on your open source ROCm/OneAPI/Vulkan/OpenCL stack", because it's all open and there already. Pretty much just do 'dnf install ollama' or 'dnf install ramalama' and have at it. We don't need an objective for that because it's just...software. We know how to package software! We've been doing it for a while!

This was the point I was sort of trying to make with my "outside of the kernel module / CUDA stuff, what *is* this?" post - that it feels weird because we're calling it an "AI" objective but in practice it winds up being a lot about "NVIDIA hardware enablement" because that's the only part of it that's actually at all difficult or different from "just packaging software", which we've been doing forever.
