[bug#70584] [PATCH] gnu: Add emacs-llm.

[Roman Scherer]

Hi Liliana,

I'm not sure if I understand your message. Do you say Guix does not want to package this?

This is a package you can use with Ollama and is packaged on GNU ELPA as well.

Greetings, Roman.

Also, I'd like you to know that training such "high quality" LLMs comes
at a larger cost than is given back in use in societal or environmental
terms.
