Together AI has announced a strategic partnership with Moonshot AI to host and serve Moonshot's Kimi models, starting with the Kimi K3. This collaboration allows developers to access these large-scale open-weight models through Together AI's infrastructure, offering features like post-training and production-ready deployment. The Kimi K3 model, with its 2.8 trillion parameters and advanced architectural components, is designed for high-performance tasks such as coding and game development. This partnership aims to provide developers with scalable, open-source AI solutions that rival proprietary systems.

This release quietly expands llama.cpp's hardware support to include Qualcomm's Hexagon NPU on Linux arm64, a significant step for local inference on Snapdragon devices. It also updates CUDA builds to version 13.4 and introduces ROCm 10.0 binaries, keeping the project aligned with the latest NVIDIA and AMD driver ecosystems. KleidiAI on Apple Silicon is temporarily disabled in this build, likely due to stability checks rather than a feature rollback. For developers targeting edge AI or diverse GPU stacks, this update ensures broader compatibility without requiring custom compilation.
