llama.cpp b9947 Release Expands Platform Support
The latest b9947 release of llama.cpp continues its trend of broadening platform compatibility, though without major new features. Notably, the release includes support for ROCm 7.2 on Ubuntu x64, which is significant for AMD GPU users seeking alternatives to NVIDIA's CUDA. While KleidiAI support for Apple Silicon remains disabled, the release still covers a wide array of systems, from Windows CUDA 13 to Ubuntu Vulkan. This update solidifies llama.cpp's role as a versatile inference runtime, though it doesn't introduce groundbreaking changes.
