llama.cpp b9509 release optimizes token processing
The b9509 release of llama.cpp brings a key optimization by preventing unnecessary checkpoint restores when new tokens are detected. This update ensures that the system only applies a conservative -1 subtraction when no new tokens are present, thereby minimizing redundant KV state restoration. Developers working with token-based tasks will find this change streamlines processing and boosts efficiency. While the release doesn't introduce new models or architectures, it enhances the runtime's performance across macOS, Linux, and Windows, including support for ROCm 7.2 and CUDA 12 and 13. This makes llama.cpp more efficient and adaptable for developers using different hardware configurations.
