Llama: Add grammar-based sampling
Summary: GitHub user ejones has proposed adding grammar-based sampling to the llama.cpp project. The API takes a serialized context-free grammar to guide and constrain sampling. The update also includes a sample Backus-Naur form (BNF)-like syntax for specifying a grammar for generations. The pull request is currently open and under discussion.

Using Prolog in Windows NT Network Configuration (1996)
Summary: Microsoft's Windows NT operating system uses an embedded Prolog interpreter for configuring local and wide-area network systems. The Prolog algorithm, along with declarative information from components' installation scripts, helps construct the most usable configuration. The results are stored in NT's configuration database, informing components of their load order and binding targets. This approach supports diverse hardware and software components, simplifies network installation, and centralizes configuration intelligence.
