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 llama.cpp v1.220.2 release introduces enhanced BF16 precision support across multiple components, aligning with reference implementations by moving specific operations like GLM4 family projections, MiMoVL vision matmuls, and Qwen3-TTS speaker encoder conv1d to BF16 where appropriate. Backends such as CUDA, Hexagon, OpenCL, WebGPU, and Vulkan now uniformly handle GGML_PREC_BF16 similarly to F32, while CPU, SpaceMIT, and ET backends extend flash attention support to BF16 with F32 accumulation. Flash attention tests now include BF16 cases, and the KQ multiplication in Llama is updated to request BF16 precision. A TODO remains in clip.cpp for future work.
