The release addresses the issue of invalid UTF-8 characters in arguments passed to PEG tool calls, improving input handling and robustness.

b12208

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.

b12177

A fix has been implemented to prevent crashes in the command-line interface when encountering invalid UTF-8 in prompts or files, with assistance from Claude. This update is part of the b12177 release of llama.cpp, which includes various binary distributions for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and other platforms.

b12143

The Vulkan implementation of the Fast Walsh-Hadamard Transform (FWHT) has been enhanced to support block widths up to 8192, using shared-memory shaders for larger blocks, and now includes F16 input capability via shader-float16, with pipelines created only when device limits allow. This update aligns Vulkan with CUDA's capabilities and improves efficiency by eliminating the need for F32-to-F16 conversions.

b12099

The update introduces initial support for the LIGHTNING_INDEXER operation in the Hexagon backend, including optimizations for HMX prefill, q4_0 and f32 K support, pipelined HMX paths, improved DMA pipeline with canonical double buffering, and enhanced kernel parameter alignment. It also adds options to force HMX/HVX execution paths and supports dimension collapse.

v0.44.0

ComfyUI v0.44.0 introduces multiple new partner nodes for tools like Patina, VEED, BFL, Ideogram, Pruna, MiniMax, Topaz, Sonilo, and OpenAI, adding features such as higher resolution video upscaling, context window editing, and new models. Enhancements include support for ProRes and custom chroma subsampling in video saving, improved frontend handling with pinned versions, optimized tensor comparisons, and better VAE compute dtype control. Performance optimizations address redundant concatenations and memory management, while bug fixes resolve crashes related to VAE decoding and prefetch queue cleanup. The release also updates workflow templates, embedded documentation, and default settings, with contributions from new developers.

v1.19.0 - Trace Your Workflows, Layer by Layer

Dify 1.19.0 enhances observability with nested workflow tracing, allowing users to follow execution steps inside Workflow Tools, inspect LLM calls, and maintain context across nested invocations. The release also enables portable app packages via App packages, improves Agent file uploads and previews, introduces Skill Hub automation through CLI commands, and upgrades the bundled plugin daemon to version 0.6.14-local. Key changes include support for format v2 app packages, enhanced security, improved editing workflows, and updated environment variables and API endpoints.

tests : fix multi-seq split replay and partial-state cases for trained models (#31216) * tests : fix multi-seq split replay against trained models The rollback snapshot is captured by the graph that decoded the rolled-back tail, while the reference context decodes the same prefix with different batch shapes. The two states differ in the last bits and trained models amplify the difference with every replayed token. Compare only the first replayed token of each seq, then restore the rollback state into the reference context before the seq-1-only tail. Assisted-by: dsh:llama.cpp/ggml-org/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-GGUF (MacBook, M5 Max, 128GB) * tests : require bit-exact seq-1 isolation in split replay The seq state save is not always bit-lossless - SWA-masked cells are not saved - so reload the rest

Release: v5.21.0

# Release v5.21.0 ## New Model additions ### MiniCPM-OCR MiniCPM-OCR is a document-understanding model from OpenBMB's MiniCPM-V family. It keeps the MiniCPM-V 4.6 architecture, which pairs a SigLIP vision encoder and a window-attention merger with a Qwen3.5 language model. It is specialized for reading text-dense images such as scanned pages, screenshots, receipts and tables. **Links:** [Documentation](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/en/model_doc/minicpm_ocr) | [Paper](https://huggingface.co/papers/2509.18154) * Feat test (#49920) by @guarin in [#49920](https://github.com/huggingface/transformers/pull/49920) ### Flint Flint is Recursive's mixture-of-experts language model.
