following up this thread https://old.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1rwgi8x/hugging_face_just_released_a_oneliner_that_uses/

- your employee(s?) advertise a vibecoded AI-slop software llmfit which advises to use severily outdated and not really usable models such as "StarCoder", "Llama 3.1", "Gemma 2", et cetera.

Please tell if it was just a mistake and you do not actually endorse using such a low quality software, or it was not a mistake and you actually endorse using vibecoded slop.
