llama.cpp has released build b11155, updating its precompiled binaries to support CUDA 13.4 and ROCm 10.0 across Linux and Windows platforms. The release also includes builds for Ubuntu arm64 with CUDA 13 and Snapdragon AI hardware. Notably, KleidiAI support on macOS Apple Silicon has been disabled in this version. This update ensures compatibility with the latest GPU drivers and accelerators for local LLM inference.

This release quietly patches a critical memory overflow in the mtmd module that caused crashes when loading HunyuanVL models. The issue stemmed from F64 position embeddings overflowing an F32 buffer, a subtle bug that broke multimodal inference for users relying on this specific architecture. By enforcing strict F32 requirements, llama.cpp stabilizes support for Tencent's vision-language model without adding new features or changing the core API. It’s a necessary maintenance update that keeps local multimodal workflows from breaking unexpectedly.
This release quietly closes the hardware gap for local inference by adding default support for CUDA 13 and ROCm 10.0 across Linux and Windows. Users with newer NVIDIA GPUs or AMD accelerators no longer need to compile from source to get performance, while Apple Silicon builds now ship KleidiAI disabled by default, shifting the focus back to standard ARM optimizations. The inclusion of Snapdragon support for Linux and Android marks a significant step toward on-device AI beyond the x86/ARM desktop ecosystem. It is less about new features and more about ensuring llama.cpp remains the universal runtime for every available accelerator.
