Use decision models with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations

Some agent-evaluation questions are narrow and repeatable, and decision models answer exactly that kind of question. This post shows how to connect two decision models, Jev and Strands Decider, to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Evaluations through code-based evaluators, and how to validate a decision-model check before you gate a release on it.

Optimized TOP_K performance on Hexagon backend by skipping bitonic sort for tiles whose maximum cannot surpass the k-th best value, replacing tile sort with top_k_scan() to reduce 256-float blocks using HVX max-reduce, and inserting only surviving elements into a sorted k-entry list. Supports k values from 2 to 64 and row widths over 1024 in both single-row and multi-row paths. NaN treated as -INF, ties preserve first-seen index. Eliminated scalar reads from VTCM in hex-top-k.

b12096

The update introduces the TOP_K_MASK operation for Hexagon, simplifying the kernel and eliminating redundant host configuration.

b12098

The llama.cpp release b12098 includes accurate support for Qwen3-VL video prompt format and provides precompiled binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler, with various backend options such as CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and Snapdragon-specific optimizations. The release also features a standalone UI package and detailed setup guides for specific hardware configurations.

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.

b12100

The update resolves issues with -hf tag matching in longer quantization names, ensuring tags start at token boundaries. It also adds support for underscores as separators in quantization tags, improving compatibility with filenames like step3p5_flash_Q4_K_S-00001-of-00012.gguf.

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.

b12102

The ggml library now checks view bounds based on the actual bytes reached by strides, improving accuracy for strided views. Views are required to start from contiguous elements along dimension 0, ensuring correct data access. Convolution windows in delta_net are created with all rows at once to prevent stride-related issues.

b12109

The llama.cpp release b12109 is now available, offering pre-compiled binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler across various architectures and backends including CPU, CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and specialized hardware like Snapdragon. The release includes support for Apple Silicon and Intel macOS, multiple Linux distributions, and detailed setup guides for specific platforms.

b12110

The llama.cpp project has been updated to version 0.9.0, with new releases available for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS. The update includes support for various backends such as CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and Snapdragon-specific hardware. Some builds are marked as disabled or experimental, and detailed setup guides are provided for specific configurations.

kv-cache : never return 0 kv_rows for sequences without cells (#31570) A cache that shares the cells of another one (f.ex. the gemma4 assistant) can build a graph before its sequences have any cells, f.ex. at the server warmup. get_n_kv_rows() then returned 0, which means that kv_rows are not used, so the graph fell back to the dense KQ mask and the scheduler re-planned for it. Later graphs with larger masks then aborted with GGML_SCHED_DEBUG_REALLOC=1. **Website:** - **Attestations:** - **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b12065/llama-b12065-bin-macos-arm64.tar.gz) - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, KleidiAI enabled) [DISABLED](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23780) - [macOS Intel (x64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/l

The biggest names in AI are backing a new way to opt out of scraping

OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Anthropic say they will adopt a new standard that publishers can use to opt out of being scraped by AI, as reported earlier by Search Engine Roundtable. With this control, publishers can apply their AI training preferences across multiple AI companies, instead of setting them individually. The shared "policy token" signal […]

Claude gets in the car: After CarPlay integration, you can ask AI questions by voice even while driving

On October 29, Anthropic announced an update to the Claude mobile app, covering iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, as well as web and desktop platforms. The highlight is that the iPhone version’s voice mode now integrates with Apple CarPlay, allowing drivers to directly ask AI questions without taking their hands off the wheel—enabling them to check routes, find information, and organize their thoughts during commutes. The in-car scenario is seen as the most imaginative aspect of this upgrade.
