llama.cpp b9590 Release Fixes JSON Schema Handling
The latest b9590 release of llama.cpp addresses a critical issue where the LFM2 template handler was ignoring the json_schema from response_format, focusing solely on tool-calling grammar. This update ensures more robust handling of JSON schemas, which is crucial for developers relying on precise data formatting. The release also includes a variety of platform-specific builds, though some features like KleidiAI on macOS and SYCL on Windows remain disabled. This update is a step forward in refining the tool's functionality, particularly for those working with complex data structures.
