The release includes updates for SYCL backend with exact rounding support in CPY operations for Q4_1, Q5_1, and Q8_0 quantization formats.
The release includes updates for SYCL backend with exact rounding support in CPY operations for Q4_1, Q5_1, and Q8_0 quantization formats.
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.
The llama.cpp release b12198 includes a change to downgrade per-request proxy logs to trace level, along with numerous precompiled binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and other platforms, supporting various backends like CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, and SYCL. Some builds are disabled or experimental, including openEuler and KleidiAI-enabled macOS versions.
The release addresses the issue of invalid UTF-8 characters in arguments passed to PEG tool calls, improving input handling and robustness.
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 project has released version b12201, offering pre-compiled binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS. The release includes support for various backends such as CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and Snapdragon hardware. Notably, the MoE cache feature is disabled for the draft model in this release. Additional resources include setup guides for Snapdragon devices and separate downloads for CUDA and OpenVINO libraries.
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.
