Michael,
Tucker
Today we are highlighting improvements across a few key open-source projects many of you already use, as well as updates to Windows ML. To empower developers, we must support the broad range of tools for experimentation and exploration across inference and training, in addition to our production grade native inference stack. Available today, Windows adds experimental llama.cpp support to Windows ML so you can run GGUF models locally through new task-specific APIs. Windows ML is the unified, high-performance local AI inferencing framework for Windows. Our experimental Windows-native Runtime API is now in preview ...
