Liquid AI releases DSpark drafter for vision models
Liquid AI is tackling the latency bottleneck in vision-language models with a specialized speculative decoding drafter. The LFM2.5-VL-DSpark model adds only 280M parameters to the base 3B architecture but delivers up to 3.13x faster on-device decoding and 2.66x speedups on H100 GPUs. By integrating directly with llama.cpp, MLX-VLM, and SGLang from day one, they are making high-performance VLM inference accessible without complex custom infrastructure. This shifts the focus from raw model size to efficient token drafting for edge deployment.

llama.cpp b11193 adds Snapdragon Hexagon and ROCm 10
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.
