Llama.cpp b9133 Release Enhances Reasoning Models
The latest b9133 release of llama.cpp introduces significant improvements for reasoning models, particularly in server and web UI environments. By removing the blocking assistant prefill and orchestrating thinking tags, the update ensures smoother continuation of generation tasks. This release also drops the reasoning guard on the Continue button, allowing for persistent reasoning content even after reloads. While the update focuses on templates with simple thinking tags, it sets the stage for future enhancements in reasoning model capabilities.
