The n8n 2.47.3 update addresses a bug allowing only workflow editors to own migration findings, improves scheduled task cleanup by retiring stale tasks in batches, and adds the ability to open migration reports directly from notification emails.
Open WebUI v0.13.3 introduces agent-based automations with terminal and folder persistence, allows changing terminals and folders mid-chat, adds Brazilian Portuguese translations, and fixes issues including incorrect file tab behavior, agent visibility in model pickers, clipboard functionality over HTTP, DeepSeek reasoning mode compatibility, tool call labeling consistency, knowledge search punctuation handling, and Docker image build reliability.
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 update introduces support for automatic loading of libhtp without relying on legacy environment variables, enhances path handling for non-ASCII directories and long paths, adds platform-wide support for FASTRPC_MANAGE_DSP_LIBRARY_PATH and GGML_HEXAGON_LIBHTP_DIR, maintains forward slashes in absolute paths on Android and Linux, ensures absolute path precedence with fallback mechanisms, and includes CDSP1,2,3 in the fallback chain for IQ10 compatibility.
Enhancements to OpenCL support in llama.cpp include adding new kernel functions for quantized matrix operations, improving small-n MoE GEMV performance across multiple quantization types, optimizing Adreno GPU kernel floor settings, renaming functions for clarity, and disabling bin FA for small verification batches.
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.
A new fast path for d_state=64 has been added to the SSM_SCAN kernel in ggml-cuda, improving generation throughput for Zamba2-7B-Instruct from 11 to 15.1 tok/s—approximately a 35% increase—by eliminating CPU fallbacks for this state size. The change was verified with real-world Zamba2 hyperparameters and maintains correctness, though a separate 28% of scan calls still fall back to CPU due to an undiagnosed issue.
The ggml library has been updated to make tied selections in the radix Top-K algorithm deterministic on CUDA and Metal backends by replacing atomic compaction loops with a deterministic scheme using simdgroup scans and coalesced memory accesses. This change ensures byte-identical outputs across runs, improves performance by 20-45% on M5 Ultra hardware, and enables deterministic testing for Metal and ROCm. Redundant CUDA kernel resets were removed, and Vulkan/Metal changes were reduced or skipped.
Open WebUI v0.13.2 resolves issues with loading chats and editing comments or Markdown files over plain HTTP, fixes the 'crypto.randomUUID is not a function' error, and makes the Side Chat permission switch visible independently of Temporary Chat settings.
The update qualifies calls to math functions like isnan and signbit with std:: to ensure compatibility with C++ standard library overloads, addressing issues on NetBSD 11.99.9/x86_64 with gcc 14.4.0. Additional C math function calls are standardized using std:: prefixes (e.g., std::fabs, std::copysign) instead of non-existent std::fabsf variants, improving accuracy by keeping computations in double precision. The change results in a minor behavioral difference with a relative error of at most 1.4e-7, well below test tolerances.
The update introduces support for 3D convolution (conv_3d) on Hexagon hardware by generalizing the existing conv_2d implementation. It leverages the HMX tiled path, folds kernel dimensions into a virtual row, and uses a shared solver with an is3d flag. The host computes unfold divisors to avoid device-side division, prevents DMA queue overflow, and improves tile size selection based on VTCM usage. Additional changes include handling arbitrary positive strides, preserving load/shuffle paths for small strides, and fixing compiler warnings.
The release includes the addition of arange functionality for OpenCL, enhancing support for array operations in the OpenCL backend. This update is part of a broader set of improvements and compatibility fixes across multiple platforms, including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and various GPU and NPU backends.
A fix for shared memory bank conflicts in the lightning indexer has been implemented for CUDA support in llama.cpp version b12185, improving performance and stability on CUDA-enabled devices.
The server update addresses slot processing order by ensuring parent slots are visited before child slots, preventing delays caused by child tasks landing on lower slot IDs. This change ensures all child tasks join the same batch after being woken by their parent. Additionally, new test tags have been introduced for monitoring: __TEST_TAG_WAIT_PARENT_SLOT__ for child slot waits, __TEST_TAG_PROMPT_CACHE_RESTORE__ for prompt cache restores, and __TEST_TAG_PROMPT_CACHE_FULL_RESTORE__ when a cached prompt is fully contained in a new one based on token counts.
The metal backend's kernel_group_norm_f32 was updated to correctly handle tensors with ne03 > 1 and non-contiguous inputs by dispatching one threadgroup per (group, i03) pair, computing per-batch statistics, clamping group element count for incomplete groups, and supporting strided access via separate strides for source and destination. The fix also restricts GROUP_NORM to f32 inputs and improves performance through specialized pipeline variants.
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.
The update introduces optimized Metal kernel usage for matrix multiplication with K values between 32 and 64, and adds a new kernel for BF16 x BF16 matrix multiplication, improving performance on Apple Silicon devices.
The latest update to llama.cpp (v1.2140) adds support for the `truncate=false` parameter in YaRN, enabling more accurate frequency interpolation for models like gpt-oss and certain PLaMo-3 variants by preserving non-integer interval boundaries. The change includes updates to GGML operations and CPU backend handling, with CUDA backend support, new tests, and refactoring of RoPE helpers into internal headers. Default behavior remains `truncate=true` for backward compatibility.
The latest update to llama.cpp introduces reference-counted checkpoints instead of deep-copies, reducing memory overhead and improving efficiency. This change adapts the slot save/restore checkpoint mechanism to shared_ptr checkpoint lists and common_state_data buffers, with contributions from multiple developers and AI assistants.
