Together AI has launched a significant update to its inference platform, designed to give developers greater control over AI model deployment. The platform supports rapid model deployment with features like canary and blue-green updates, ensuring production-grade reliability. A closed beta for custom training, including reinforcement learning and fine-tuning, is also announced. This update emphasizes the use of open-weight models, allowing teams to integrate proprietary IP securely while maintaining control over performance and quality. The platform aims to streamline AI deployment, making it more flexible and efficient.

This release quietly expands llama.cpp's hardware support to include Qualcomm's Hexagon NPU on Linux arm64, a significant step for local inference on Snapdragon devices. It also updates CUDA builds to version 13.4 and introduces ROCm 10.0 binaries, keeping the project aligned with the latest NVIDIA and AMD driver ecosystems. KleidiAI on Apple Silicon is temporarily disabled in this build, likely due to stability checks rather than a feature rollback. For developers targeting edge AI or diverse GPU stacks, this update ensures broader compatibility without requiring custom compilation.
