b12191

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.

b12195

The llama.cpp release b12195 introduces a change to refuse device buffers that would exceed VRAM, improving memory management. It includes precompiled binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler, with support for various backends such as CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan, OpenVINO, SYCL, and others. Some builds are marked as disabled or experimental.

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.

b12180

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.

b12185

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.

b12136

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.

b12141

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.

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.

b12114

Fixed get_max_size to return maxBufferSize and improved the memset shader to handle buffer sizes exceeding the maximum binding size, preventing issues with whole-buffer bindings in memset and clear operations.

b12101

The gguf writer now writes host-buffer tensor data directly to the file, skipping the temporary staging vector, which eliminates per-tensor allocation, zero-initialization, and memcpy operations.

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.

server: expose the reasoning effort levels of the chat template (#31271) * server: expose the reasoning effort levels of the chat template The capability probe renders a user turn for each candidate level (minimal, low, medium, high, xhigh, max) and for an unknown level. A level is honored when it renders without raising and differently from the unknown level, which shows the template fallback. Levels sharing a render are aliases and the highest one is kept. The caps serialize to JSON, and chat_template_caps in /props reports the list as reasoning_effort_levels, from lowest to highest. * jinja: keep the caps free of the json dependency The caps keep reporting their flags as a map, and the effort levels stay a plain member. common_chat_templates_get_caps() builds the JSON the server reports

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

ggml-cpu : rewrite concat as one row kernel for all types (#31179) Every dst row comes from src0 or src1, or for dim 0 from the row of src0 followed by the row of src1, so a single kernel covers every type: a dense source row is one memcpy, quantized types included, and a strided source is copied element by element with the element size known at compile time. Rows are split across threads instead of i2 alone, which is often 1, and are copied in tiles of 32: for a transposed source the elements are walked in the outer loop, so the rows of a tile read neighboring addresses instead of jumping a full row stride per element. Add transposed b cases to test_concat, the layout of the delta-net conv input, and a perf case for it. **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Sili
