llama.cpp b9767 Release Enhances MTP Inference
The b9767 release of llama.cpp introduces significant improvements to MTP inference by optimizing the mat-vec path for small batches, which enhances decoding efficiency. A new barrier in the NUM_COLS loop of the mul-mat-vec process is expected to boost performance. While no new model architectures are included, this update refines the platform's capabilities across macOS, Linux, and Windows. Notably, it supports macOS Apple Silicon, Ubuntu with ROCm 7.2, and Windows with CUDA 12 and 13. This release continues llama.cpp's focus on performance optimization and compatibility, making it a more powerful tool for developers.
