The update introduces CUDA optimizations including linearizing the mixture-of-experts (MoE) data layout for MMQ/MMF, applying tile size optimizations more broadly, and addressing a half-precision (F16) performance regression.
The llama.cpp v1.21.70 release includes enhancements to the moe-cache system, introducing an LRFU/MQ-inspired hybrid cache with improved token handling, key computation, and decay calculations. Changes include adjusting the half-life parameter, increasing the number of classes to 8, refining score computation based on age, removing redundant branches, and improving documentation around unused slots and sorting. The release also features updated build binaries for multiple platforms including macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler, with support for CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and other backends.
The update introduces batched tensor functions `get_tensor_n` and `set_tensor_n` for WebGPU, along with fixes for the editor-config checker and removal of an outdated comment.
The llama.cpp release b12174 introduces the ability to generate RC files directly without requiring a win-app.rc.in file, alongside a comprehensive set of precompiled binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler across various architectures and backends including CUDA, Vulkan, ROCm, OpenVINO, SYCL, and Snapdragon-specific hardware. The release also includes a standalone UI package.

Here is Cerea, a self-hostable, open-source (Apache 2.0) chat+agent frontend for LLMs. It works alone with any OpenAI-compatible inference provider, but it's way better when coupled with the model gateway I'm also developing, Pystino (https://github.com/paoloviviani/Pystino).I came to this after struggling to find a hosted chat interface that was truly open source, that I really enjoyed to use, and that was simple enough to be shared and used by family. In particular, I was looking for something that could provide the smooth and integrated user experience of commercial products for the tasks needed by family (e.g., document editing, form filling, notes and knowledge management), but backed by open models hosted wherever I decide.Then it became richer, now supporting: remote coding agents (wrapping Opencode), delegation and coordination between agents, integration between chat/projects and code agents (this one to me is a pain point for Claude, which I use at work), projects, RAG, rich artifacts support, schedules, and more.You can try it yourself, either cloning the full repo and head to Cerea/kit, or just the deploy kit with a script (https://github.com/paoloviviani/Cerea#quick-start).It's just a docker compose with a ./configure script that helps to generate a sensible .env for the specific scenario. It works in the browser and as a PWA on mobile.I hope you'll enjoy, feel free to reach out for questions. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50384502 Points: 1 # Comments: 0

Hi HN,I've been fascinated by aviation for some time now. Inspired by Fugleramme, I wanted a framed print of a cluster of aircraft over my house or a busy airport. So I built Overhead. (Photos in the README)The hero photo shows planes departing and landing in Changi, Singapore.How it worksFlight data for a location is gathered from adsb.lol and adsb.fi as a fallback. (you can also point it to your own ADS-B receiver).The photo of the exact aircraft is gathered from planespotters.net and the photographer is credited on the page.The photo is then handed to an AI image gen service via fal.ai using your own key.It's then cut out and packed into a cluster on the page with packers adapted from Fugleramme.It costs about US$0.04 a painting but images are painted once and kept for the next time that aircraft is seen.You can also choose to only show photos.This widget is built on my open source, self-hosted e-ink platform, Tesserae. It's a one click install from the widget catalog.I'm looking for feedback and contributors.https://github.com/arnegiacomo/fugleramme https://github.com/dmellok/tesserae Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50390605 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
English isn’t my first language, sorry for grammar mistakes.I usually use Windows and Android, and these two platforms can be linked via Microsoft's "Link to Windows", or "Phone Link" program. So, you can easily use some features such as notifications, messages, screen mirroring, and clipboard synchronization on Windows from your Android phone.Recently, I changed my personal computer to macOS from Windows, and it made me need a similar program. I developed this program to run on macOS while still using the "Link to Windows" app on Android phone.It supports most features of the Windows client (notifications, messages, photos, mirroring, file transfer, etc.), except calling.The license is MIT. This project is an unofficial client unrelated to Microsoft and has no affiliation with them. Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50389540 Points: 1 # Comments: 0
