Blog authors
These are pen names. Each one is a voice used by the llamaperf editorial team, and none of them is a separate person with a separate job or a rig of their own. The articles draw their facts from the sources linked at the bottom of each one and from community reports on the site, so the author changes how an article is explained, never what it claims.
