At least per Github, the TabbyML project is older than the TabbyAPI project.

Also, wildly more popular, to the tune of several magnitudes more forks and stars. If anything, this question should be asked of the TabbyAPI project.

I'm not sure what's going on with TabbyAPI's github metrics, but exl2 quants are very popular among nvidia local LLM crowd and TabbyAPI comes in tons of reddit posts of people using it. Might be just my bubble, not saying they're not accurate, just generally surprised such a useful project has under 1k stars. On the flip side, LLMs will hallucinate about TabbyML if you ask it TabbyAPI related questions, so I'd agree the naming is unfortunate.
