Tolliver is built on the work of researchers, developers, and open-source communities around the world. This page acknowledges the projects and tools that make Tolliver possible.
Tolliver currently uses several open-source technologies, AI models, and third-party services. Tolliver does not claim ownership of these tools — we are grateful to every researcher and developer who made them freely available.

github.com/ggerganov/llama.cppThe face recognition model Tolliver uses to identify family members on-device. Lightweight and built for mobile — it converts a face image into a compact mathematical signature without sending any data off your device. Copyright © 2019 syaringan357.
github.com/syaringan357/Android-MobileFaceNet-MTCNN-FaceAntiSpoofingThe training method behind Tolliver’s face recognition. ArcFace loss trained MobileFaceNet to create more precise, better-separated face signatures — significantly improving real-world accuracy without changing the model size or speed.

ai.google.dev/gemini-api/termsBefore Tolliver is published to the Google Play Store, any optional upgrade models — including future Llama-based models — should be reviewed carefully for commercial use restrictions and redistribution terms. Meta's Llama licensing has changed between versions and must be verified for the specific model used. This review is already planned as part of the pre-release checklist.
Tolliver stands on the shoulders of a global open-source community. These projects represent years of research, engineering, and generosity freely shared. We are grateful for every one of them.
