llama.cpp 0.6.0 adds CUDA 13 and Snapdragon support
llama.cpp Releaseshigh confidence
Why it matters
- →CUDA 13 support allows inference on newer NVIDIA GPUs without manual compilation.
- →Snapdragon arm64 binaries enable optimized local AI on mobile Linux devices.
- →Side-by-side CUDA 12/13 builds reduce friction for users with mixed hardware setups.
llama.cpp has released version 0.6.0, introducing support for CUDA 13.4 and Snapdragon mobile processors. The update provides pre-built binaries for Ubuntu and Windows across CUDA 12 and 13 variants, alongside new Linux arm64 builds targeting Snapdragon devices with Adreno GPU and Hexagon NPU acceleration. macOS KleidiAI builds are currently disabled in this release. The version bump also includes updates to the summary prompt script.

llama.cpp b11424 adds CUDA 13 and ROCm 10.0
This release quietly closes the hardware gap for local inference by adding default support for CUDA 13 and ROCm 10.0 alongside existing CUDA 12 builds. NVIDIA users can now leverage newer driver stacks without manual configuration, while AMD GPU owners finally get first-class parity with the same ease of use previously reserved for CUDA. Apple Silicon KleidiAI is disabled in this specific build, a notable regression for Mac users who rely on that optimization. The inclusion of Snapdragon and OpenVINO binaries further broadens the reach to edge devices and Intel hardware. It’s less about new features and more about llama.cpp solidifying its position as the universal runtime for every major accelerator.

llama.cpp b11425 adds ROCm 10 and Snapdragon support
This release quietly cements llama.cpp as the universal inference runtime by finally bringing first-class ROCm 10.0 support to both Linux and Windows. AMD GPU users no longer need workarounds, effectively closing a long-standing parity gap with NVIDIA's CUDA ecosystem. The inclusion of Snapdragon AI stack binaries for Linux marks a strategic push into ARM-based edge devices, while the simultaneous addition of CUDA 13 builds ensures compatibility with the latest driver stacks. By standardizing these hardware backends across major operating systems, the project removes friction for developers deploying models on diverse non-NVIDIA hardware.

llama.cpp v0.6.0 adds decision model API and Apple Silicon speedups
This release shifts llama.cpp from a pure text engine to a multimodal inference runtime capable of handling 'decision models' like Clef and GLM-5.3-Flash. The new /v1/systemone server endpoint standardizes how these non-autoregressive models are queried, while the extended batch API allows mixed token and embedding inputs for complex architectures. Apple Silicon users get a tangible performance boost with new Metal MMA kernels that accelerate speculative decoding by up to 3x. It’s a significant step toward supporting the next generation of hybrid reasoning models locally.

Claude Code v2.1.290: Plugin hooks and agent stability fixes
This release significantly tightens the security model for Claude Code plugins by exposing server tool IDs and approval ceilings to hook functions, allowing developers to build more granular permission checks. It also stabilizes long-running agent sessions by fixing critical bugs in subagent resume logic and scheduled task persistence after compaction. For plugin authors, the new validation flags ensure gating hooks are properly configured before deployment. These changes make the platform safer for enterprise use while reducing friction for complex automated workflows.

GitHub Secret Scanning adds Lovable and Supabase detectors
GitHub quietly expanded its secret scanning partnership program to include Lovable Labs, Pydantic Services, and Supabase. This update means credentials from these popular development platforms are now automatically detected in public repositories, allowing the providers to revoke or rotate compromised keys before abuse occurs. For developers using Supabase or Lovable, this adds a critical layer of automated security hygiene without requiring manual configuration. It reflects GitHub's ongoing effort to integrate directly with the modern AI and database tooling stack that dominates current development workflows.

Open-source tool deletes Apple Intelligence data on macOS
Apple removed the simple toggle to disable AI features in macOS 27, leaving 12GB of models lingering on disk even when turned off. RemoveMacAI solves this by automating the cleanup: it disables Siri, Writing Tools, and Genmoji, deletes the underlying models, and blocks future downloads. This restores user control over storage and privacy without requiring manual navigation through scattered settings panes. It’s a practical patch for an ecosystem change that prioritized feature retention over user choice.
