- Subject: Platform

Jun Kim, creator and maintainer of oMLX, has joined Hugging Face to support the MLX community. oMLX will transition from a side project to a fully maintained and funded initiative while remaining Apache 2.0 licensed, with Kim continuing to lead the project.

## Evidence

Verbatim from https://huggingface.co/blog/omlx:

> Graduating from a side job to a fully maintained and funded project will allow Jun to better guide the contributors and build for the long-term. oMLX stays Apache 2.0, and Jun keeps leading it as before.
