Llama.ttf: a font file which is also a large language model and inference engine

SMRTR summary

Llama.ttf is a font file that secretly contains a fully functional AI language model and inference engine. By exploiting HarfBuzz's built-in WebAssembly support — used in Firefox, Chrome, and text editors — it runs an LLM locally inside any compatible app, no vendor updates required, essentially sneaking AI text generation into software through a font.
