Nah nothing to do with LLMs, it’s just because the method of Llamafile is very similar to malware - basically zip up an executable, concatenate it with some stuff, throw it in /tmp and execute it with a randomly generated high entropy name.
(That said, after I explained it to SecOps they did tell me I would need to “consult legal” if I wanted to use a local LLM, but I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt there…)
