The b10226 release of llama.cpp has been announced, focusing on expanding platform support. This update includes compatibility with Ubuntu using ROCm 7.2, which benefits AMD GPU users by improving performance. The release also continues to support a wide array of systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux, ensuring developers have access to llama.cpp's capabilities across different hardware configurations. While no new features are introduced, this release reinforces llama.cpp's role as a versatile tool for developers.
Read originalThe latest b10227 release of llama.cpp introduces a specialized parser for Qwen3, enhancing its tool parsing capabilities. This update includes a tagged thinking tool parser and refactoring efforts to improve functionality, such as the addition of a permute helper and support for omitting <tool_call>. These changes aim to streamline the parsing process and improve the overall efficiency of the system. While the release doesn't introduce new models, it strengthens the existing framework, making it more robust for developers working with complex parsing tasks.
The b10228 release of llama.cpp focuses on enhancing platform compatibility without introducing major new features. This update includes ROCm 7.2 support for Ubuntu x64, providing AMD GPU users with a viable alternative to NVIDIA's CUDA. Developers can now access llama.cpp across various systems, including macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring its utility in diverse environments. While the release doesn't bring groundbreaking changes, it reinforces llama.cpp's role as a flexible tool for AI inference, accommodating different hardware configurations and developer needs.
The b10231 release of llama.cpp brings significant improvements to DSpark sidecar resolution, making it the default choice over DFlash due to its additional Markov head. This update allows for resolving sidecars without needing a full model at the tag, and provides an option to disable discovery with explicit -md selection. While no new models are introduced, the release extends platform support across macOS, Linux, Windows, and openEuler, enhancing its adaptability for developers. With these changes, llama.cpp continues to evolve as a flexible inference runtime, catering to a wide range of system configurations.

Grabette is a new open-source system designed to simplify the collection of robot manipulation data. By using a handheld gripper equipped with cameras, it allows users to record tasks without needing a robot or lab setup. This democratizes data collection, enabling anyone to contribute to a large, collaborative dataset. The system is built on standard, easily accessible components, making it accessible for widespread use. This release aims to address the data bottleneck in robot learning by encouraging community participation in building diverse datasets.
