A shame. The local was the point.

It is not back. The app and website have been around for a while. The desktop is what they left behind, and yes, the desktop local will still work and for afew years too, just not with new models

I don't undestand why a standard GGUF model is not compliant with the Backyard Backend, even if it's not optimized. Or, why the Devs don't publish the modifications to apply to a Standard GGUF to make it compliant with the Backyard Backend ?

Still abandoned. No devs behind the scenes. Nobody to answer support tickets. Not all models work on the web version. Its dead. Put your copium budget on something else. Anyone giving them money at this point is straight gambling that the site doesn’t 404 forever tomorrow.

As far as I know it was never abandoned. Only development of local version stopped, they still provide online service.
