GGUF (2023) by llama.cpp community

A single-file model format that replaced a pile of .bin shards and Python glue.

The file format of local LLMs.

GGUF succeeded GGML as the portable, metadata-rich container for quantized weights. Hugging Face became a GGUF storefront.

The interchange format the local ecosystem actually uses.
