The latest update to llama.cpp introduces enhanced MoE (Mixture of Experts) cache functionality, enabling computation of cache misses on the CPU with a configurable CPU share. A new tuning script, moe-cache-tune.py, automatically determines optimal cache size and CPU share settings based on system performance. The update also improves scheduling efficiency, removes redundant sync operations, and refactors code for better maintainability, while maintaining compatibility across multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, and Android.

The latest release of llama.cpp adds support for the MageVL-Cowork model and adjusts how rope frequencies are handled, now stored at the model level within clip_model instead of being copied into each clip_layer. The loader verifies that rope_freqs is a 32-bit floating-point array with dimensions matching d_head, ensuring compatibility with expected 4:6:6 splits in the computational graph.

The release adds the Kimi-K3.1-Pro text model to llama.cpp, replacing full-attention MLA layers in K3 with DSA (Dynamic Sparse Attention) layers featuring a lightning indexer. The indexer uses an additive mask over the cache and reuses sparse flash attention paths, while preserving existing KDA layers and MoE components. The model's architecture includes four indexer tensors per DSA layer, hybrid memory for caching, and maintains quantization integrity by excluding indexer parameters from quant overrides. Verified against HF checkpoint with identical PPL beyond context length, and supports multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS.

The latest release of llama.cpp (v1.2182) includes a change to raise the compute view limit for buffers with few tensors in the meta backend, along with reverting the deepseek41 test model back to a 6-layer configuration. The release provides precompiled binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS, supporting various backends such as CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and Snapdragon-specific hardware. Some openEuler builds remain disabled.

The update addresses an issue in llama.cpp where the number of GPU layers was incorrectly calculated by not accounting for skipped NextN layers, leading to improper layer distribution between CPU and GPU. The fix ensures that skipped NextN layers are included in the n_gpu_layers count and properly assigned during model loading, resolving a bug where layer 0 remained on the CPU despite offloading all other layers.

llama : build the k-pool sparse selection independently of the kq_mask shape (#31243) * llama : build the k-pool sparse selection independently of the kq_mask shape qwen4exp (QSA) and glm5-next pick cache cells by index and no longer read the kq_mask values, but they still shaped the selection like the dense kq_mask. Build the selection as [n_kv, n_tokens] over the cache cells instead, and split it into the streams of the K view right before the attention. This lets the dense mask change its layout (e.g. per-sequence row lists) without touching the sparse layers. * improve comment Co-authored-by: Georgi Gerganov * llama : drop the unused build_fused_top_k_mask args, review nits --------- Co-authored-by: Georgi Gerganov **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silico
