Why it matters
- →The update improves model performance with post-norm hidden states.
- →Expanding platform support increases accessibility for developers.
- →Renaming conventions indicate structural changes in the framework.
The latest b9495 release of llama.cpp introduces several updates, including the use of post-norm hidden states for the qwen35 model's MTP. The release also renames 'pre_norm' to 'nextn', reflecting a change in the framework's structure. While some features are disabled, such as KleidiAI on macOS Apple Silicon, the update enhances support for platforms like Ubuntu with ROCm 7.2 and Windows with CUDA 12 and 13. These changes aim to improve the framework's adaptability and performance across different environments.
