Full Release Notes
<details open> mtmd: Add Vision Support for Minimax-M3 (#25113) * Add preliminary MiniMax-M3 support Text-only port that re-uses existing components: MiniMax-M2 style GQA with per-head QK-norm and partial rotary, DeepSeek-V3 style leading-dense and routed/shared experts, and swigluoai activation. Sparse attention is not yet supported (dense fallback); vision tower and MTP heads are dropped. * MiniMax-M3 vision tower (mmproj + clip graph) * Delete m3_vision_ref.py * Update clip.cpp * MSA * Update constants.py * Update minimax.py * Cache creation. Working withotu flash attention * Added flash attention for sparse layers * Decomposed slow cpu OP into GPU + CPU ops. Massive speedup over long ctx * Rewrote indexer op to be cuda native. Modified flash attention to match per group block picking * Implement sparse attention calc out of stock ops. * Fix a cache allocation and cont issue * Fixed -fa auto crash, flagged debug spots * Delete vocab.json * Delete model.safetensors.index.json * Delete generation_config.json * Delete Minimax directory * Handled multi stream case to fall back on Dense Attention * Development scaffolding cleanup. No functional change to the decode or 4-way paths. Full debug harness remains at <8136a9c68ed7a5eb009aa67bba3fda8062f4648f> for reproducing the selection-parity validation. * Remove redundant comment from minimax-m3.cpp * Changed 3 Gelu Ops for vision into Gelu_erf ops * Assert that n_kv is multiple of 128 * Rename MSA index tensors to indexer convention Note: All GGUFs generated before this change will need to be regenerated. * Fix incorrect Assert * Review driven changes (#3) * Remove comment from conversion minimax.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove whitespaces from constants.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Tighten comment in minimax.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * inherit MiniMax-M3 from MiniMax-M2 * drop dead text_config fallbacks * Add indexer writer methods * Reuse LLM_FFN_SWIGLU_OAI_MOE * Remove duplicate indexer setters, add only block_size/local_blocks, follow value naming convention * Fix conversion error /gguf_writer.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Update gguf-py/gguf/gguf_writer.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Update gguf-py/gguf/tensor_mapping.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Update conversion/minimax.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Update conversion/minimax.py Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove whitespace in src/llama-kv-cache.cpp Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove Whitespace in Update src/llama-model.h Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove whitespace in src/llama-hparams.h Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> * Update minimax_m3.cpp Rewrite code comment based on feedback and to better reflect the actual architecture, and reuse existing build_vit * Rename minimax_m3.cpp to minimax-m3.cpp * Update CMakeLists.txt * Remove debug code from clip.cpp * Update clip.cpp * Update comments in tools/mtmd/models/minimax-m3.cpp * Permute Q/K at conversion, drop precomputed sin/cos * Log cache size on launch, block ctx shift, support prompt caching Log indexer cache size on launch Disallow ctx shift Support prompt caching * Update minimax-m3.cpp * Optimize implementation, add multi stream support. Fully rewrote minimax-m3.cpp for speed and buffer size gains: Unified the 4-way + decode, 1 FA call per layer instead of 4, with the groups mapped onto ne[3] Custom CPU op now emits block-level mask, expanded on GPU, which causes CPU to GPU transfer to shrinks at prefill Decode: ~25 nodes/layer vs ~50, no per-group concats/conts Unified selection semantics, so both regimes rank bs + local bias (position-anchored local force), which means prefill/decode can no longer disagree on selection can_reuse on the MSA bias input. Graph reuse at decode restored (was rebuilding the full graph every token) In-place mask adds, shrinking compute buffer ~6.8 to ~4.2 GiB at ub2048/62k Multi-stream: MSA now runs with -np N when kv_unified=false. Decode stays batched across streams (still 1 FA call), prefill loops per stream. dense fallback only for --kv-unified + multi-seq Measured effect on expert offload bound setup: decode 6.2(4WAY)–7.15(MSA_decode) -> 7.7~7.8 t/s, flat from 5k to 60k+. prefill around 10% faster. buffer about 20% smaller, multi-user support. * set default cache type to F32 * Fix potential DSA double indexer cache allocation bug, only allocate in-cache k_idx for archs that opt in * remove F16 downcasts in MSA attention, force F32 indexer score accum * Add Minimax eos to llama vocab * Guard edge case where idx cache can become stale after a tail trim * Update llama-kv-cache.h * Update llama-kv-cache.cpp * Update llama-kv-cache.cpp * Update llama-kv-cache.h * Change resize Pad to none, resize alg to Bicubic Pillow * Review driven changes * Update llama-kv-cache.cpp * rm unrotated pos_t * fused rope w + pad * rename merge --> merger for consistency * add review skill for mtmd * graph should use hparams n_merge * fix lint --------- Co-authored-by: Daniel Han <danielhanchen@gmail.com> Co-authored-by: Sigbjørn Skjæret <1629204+CISC@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Xuan Son Nguyen <son@huggingface.co> </details> **Website:** - <https://llama.app> **macOS/iOS:** - [macOS Apple Silicon (arm64)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-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/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-macos-x64.tar.gz) - [iOS XCFramework](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-xcframework.zip) **Linux:** - [Ubuntu x64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-arm64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu s390x (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-s390x.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-vulkan-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu arm64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-vulkan-arm64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (ROCm 7.2)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-rocm-7.2-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (OpenVINO)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-openvino-2026.2.1-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (SYCL FP32)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-sycl-fp32-x64.tar.gz) - [Ubuntu x64 (SYCL FP16)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-ubuntu-sycl-fp16-x64.tar.gz) **Android:** - [Android arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-android-arm64.tar.gz) **Windows:** - [Windows x64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-cpu-x64.zip) - [Windows arm64 (CPU)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-cpu-arm64.zip) - [Windows arm64 (OpenCL Adreno)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-opencl-adreno-arm64.zip) - [Windows x64 (CUDA 12)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip) - [CUDA 12.4 DLLs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/cudart-llama-bin-win-cuda-12.4-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (CUDA 13)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-cuda-13.3-x64.zip) - [CUDA 13.3 DLLs](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/cudart-llama-bin-win-cuda-13.3-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (Vulkan)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-vulkan-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (OpenVINO)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-openvino-2026.2.1-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (SYCL)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-bin-win-sycl-x64.zip) - [Windows x64 (HIP)](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/releases/download/b10142/llama-b10142-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/b10142/llama-b10142-ui.tar.gz)
