Minions: where local and cloud LLMs meet· Ollama Blog

Avanika Narayan, Dan Biderman, and Sabri Eyuboglu from Christopher Ré's Stanford Hazy Research lab, along with Avner May, Scott Linderman, James Zou, have developed a way to shift a substantial portion of LLM workloads to consumer devices by having small on-device models (such as Llama 3.2 with Ollama) collaborate with larger models in the cloud (such as GPT-4o).

Friends Don't Let Friends Use Ollama | Sleeping Robots

Ollama gained traction by being the first easy llama.cpp wrapper, then spent years dodging attribution, misleading users, and pivoting to cloud, all while riding VC money earned on someone else's engine. Here's the full history, and why the alternatives are better.

BeeKEM: Decentralized, Secure and Efficient Group Key Agreement

Group key agreement protocols are essential for modern secure messaging. Most existing group key agreement protocols assume a centralized model with a semi-trusted service that mediates the communication. This is efficient, but problematic for some important applications, since a central service can be a choke point for surveillance and censorship. There is a nascent literature on decentralized group key agreement that avoids such reliance, but existing proposals either do not scale, with update costs linear or quadratic in the group size, or lack proofs of security. Centralized protocols can offer much lower (logarithmic) cost. We present BeeKEM, the first decentralized group key agreement protocol with logarithmic update cost in the common case (degrading to linear in the worst case) and proofs of security. We provide an open-source implementation and demonstrate that it is competitive with OpenMLS. BeeKEM opens the door for a range of communication and collaboration applications offering not only end-to-end encryption, but also metadata privacy and censorship resistance.

Tiles: Own your AI with local models and open protocols

Tiles: Own your AI with local models and open protocols is a Lightning Talk proposal for PuneFOSS 4.0. As AI becomes central to how we work and communicate, I believe we’re seeing a new form of technological feudalism, where a handful of platforms [...]
