Full Release Notes
<details open> CUDA: Improve NVFP4 W4A4 activation quantization (#25730) * Squash history before conflict-resolution during rebase on master WIP commit Add 32-byte loads, restore per-block amax Use nvfp4x4 intrinsic when available Fuse per-channel amax and quantization kernels Do pointer arithmetic only once on x Remove unnecessary ternary in the load We assert on host side that ne00 is 64-aligned Add back scale-search, but optimize it with intrinsics Code cleanup Make scale in MMQ-epilogue NVFP4-specific/restrictive for now Remove unneeded include, add comment Fix trailing whitespace Guard __builtin_align__(32) struct to NVIDIA Seems like HIP doesn't have this available, see https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/actions/runs/29438651734/job/87431623001 * compiler massaging to avoid unnecessary LDCs * kvalues_mxfp4 -> kvalues_nvfp4 in quantize_mmq_nvfp4 * Always pass in src1_scale.ptr * Extract ggml_cuda_is_aligned helper </details> **Website:** - <https://llama.app> **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-macos-arm64.tar.gz) - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, KleidiAI enabled) [DISABLED](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23780) - [macOS Intel (x64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-macos-x64.tar.gz) - [iOS XCFramework](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-xcframework.zip) **Linux:** - [Ubuntu x64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-arm64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu s390x (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-s390x.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-vulkan-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu arm64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-vulkan-arm64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (ROCm 7.2)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-rocm-7.2-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (OpenVINO)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-openvino-2026.2.1-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (SYCL FP32)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-sycl-fp32-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (SYCL FP16)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-ubuntu-sycl-fp16-x64.tar.gz) **Android:** - [Android arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-android-arm64.tar.gz) **Windows:** - [Windows x64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-cpu-x64.zip) - [Windows arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-cpu-arm64.zip) - [Windows arm64 (OpenCL Adreno)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-opencl-adreno-arm64.zip) - [Windows x64 (CUDA 12)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip) - [CUDA 12.4 DLLs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/cudart-llama-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (CUDA 13)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-cuda-13.3-x64.zip) - [CUDA 13.3 DLLs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/cudart-llama-bin-win-cuda-13.3-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-vulkan-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (OpenVINO)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-openvino-2026.2.1-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (SYCL)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-sycl-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (HIP)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-bin-win-hip-radeon-x64.zip) **openEuler:** - [DISABLED](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/23705) - openEuler x86 (310p) - openEuler x86 (910b, ACL Graph) - openEuler aarch64 (310p) - openEuler aarch64 (910b, ACL Graph) **UI:** - [UI](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10099/llama-b10099-ui.tar.gz)
