llama.cpp b11193 adds Snapdragon Hexagon and ROCm 10
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.
