Innovation in Font Files: Llama .ttf as a Font with LLM Engine

Llama .ttf font file, developed by Sorin Fuglide Jorgensen, incorporates a large language model (LLM) and an inference engine within a font file, powered by the font shaping engine, HarfBuzz. This unique integration allows text shaping through arbitrary code in applications like Firefox and Chrome, enabling text generation and manipulation locally without the need for vendor updates. The font's capabilities to run LLM directly within text applications present a novel approach to text processing and open possibilities for enhanced text manipulation.
