llama.cpp b11535 release with ROCm 10 and CUDA 13
This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by adding default support for ROCm 10.0 and CUDA 13.4 across Linux and Windows. AMD GPU users finally get parity with NVIDIA's latest driver stack without manual configuration, while Apple Silicon KleidiAI builds are temporarily disabled to resolve stability issues. The inclusion of Snapdragon NPU support on Linux signals a serious push into edge AI hardware beyond just x86 and ARM CPUs. It is less about new features and more about ensuring the toolchain keeps pace with the rapidly evolving GPU landscape.
