GitHub Launches Agent Tasks REST API for Copilot
GitHub Changeloghigh confidence
Why it matters
- →The API enhances automation capabilities for developers using GitHub Copilot.
- →It allows seamless integration of Copilot cloud agent tasks into custom workflows.
- →This development supports efficient management of code changes and repository setups.
GitHub has launched the Agent tasks REST API for Copilot Pro, Pro+, and Max users, now in public preview. This API enables developers to start and track Copilot cloud agent tasks programmatically, facilitating integration into custom automation workflows. The Copilot cloud agent autonomously handles code changes and pull requests, streamlining processes like repository setup and release preparation. The API supports authentication via personal access tokens and OAuth tokens, making it a versatile tool for developers.

llama.cpp b10955 release addresses heap corruption
The latest release of llama.cpp, b10955, tackles a critical issue of heap corruption by disabling the ggml-cpu precompiled header and fixing CACHE_LINE_SIZE ambiguity. This update ensures consistent CACHE_LINE_SIZE values across C++ kernels and C work-buffer sizing code, preventing heap-buffer-overflow and subsequent crashes. By restoring the natural include order and removing the std::hardware_destructive_interference_size branch, the update makes the value deterministic and include-order independent. This release is a technical fix that stabilizes the runtime environment for developers using llama.cpp.

llama.cpp b10956 release enhances SYCL backend
The latest llama.cpp release, b10956, introduces significant improvements to the SYCL backend, particularly for handling large k values in TOP_K operations. By implementing a radix select method, the update allows for efficient GPU-resident processing, avoiding previous limitations that forced operations to fall back to the CPU. This change enhances performance, especially in scenarios requiring large k values, such as qwen4exp's sparse-attention indexer. The update ensures that operations are more efficient and scalable, providing a notable boost in processing speed without regressing any measured shapes.
