Anyone else want to call this library “Gargamel” after the character from The Smurfs? I can’t unsee it.

Thank you! I always do in my head and I thought I was the only one

Thanks! I hope this becomes the (un)official common moniker - it rolls off the tongue better than "gee gee em el".

I like to think of it as "Good Game, Machine Learning"

Same.

I call it Gaugamela after Alexander's famous rout there.

After years of gaming I can't help but see ggml as an initialism.

From "PyTorch for WebGPU" (2023) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36009478 :

> Fwiw it looks like the llama.cpp Tensor is from ggml, for which there are CUDA and OpenCL implementations (but not yet ROCm, or a WebGPU shim for use with emscripten transpilation to WASM): https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/blob/master/ggml.h
