The b10141 release of llama.cpp has been announced, focusing on expanding platform support rather than introducing new features. This update includes ROCm 7.2 support for Ubuntu x64, enhancing options for AMD GPU users. The release covers a wide range of platforms, including macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensuring compatibility with various hardware setups. While the update is incremental, it reinforces llama.cpp's role as a flexible AI inference tool.
Read originalLlama.cpp's latest update introduces preliminary support for the MiniMax-M3 model, marking a significant step towards integrating vision capabilities. This release reuses existing components from MiniMax-M2, incorporating advanced features like per-head QK-norm and partial rotary, while also optimizing performance with GPU and CPU operations. Although sparse attention isn't supported yet, the update promises a substantial speedup in processing long contexts. This development positions llama.cpp to better handle vision tasks, expanding its utility beyond text-only applications.
The latest b10144 release of llama.cpp addresses several issues related to stream routes and model loading. Notably, it fixes problems with model names containing slashes, ensuring that stop and resume functions work correctly. The update also improves the handling of pending requests during model loading, allowing sessions to persist even if a page is reloaded. These changes enhance the reliability and user experience of the platform, particularly for developers working with complex model names and streaming data.
The b10093 release of llama.cpp focuses on refining the DeepSeek4 template to ensure it behaves consistently with reference standards. This update introduces support for the DeepSeekv4 flag and integrates the DS3.2 parser for DS4, enhancing its functionality. Developers working on macOS, Linux, and Windows can benefit from improved performance, especially with Vulkan, ROCm, and CUDA technologies. The release also addresses tool result reordering and post-merge fixes, contributing to a more stable and reliable development environment. While not revolutionary, these enhancements make llama.cpp a more dependable choice for developers seeking robust AI model support.

Grabette is a new open-source system designed to simplify the collection of robot manipulation data. By using a handheld gripper equipped with cameras, it allows users to record tasks without needing a robot or lab setup. This democratizes data collection, enabling anyone to contribute to a large, collaborative dataset. The system is built on standard, easily accessible components, making it accessible for widespread use. This release aims to address the data bottleneck in robot learning by encouraging community participation in building diverse datasets.
