The ggml‑org team released llama.cpp version b11826 on Oct 22, 2026. The update adds MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 support, letting the engine run OCR models. Pre‑built binaries are now available for Apple Silicon, Intel macOS, iOS, and Ubuntu on x64, arm64, s390x, plus Vulkan and CUDA‑12 GPU versions. The release links are posted on the GitHub tag page.
Why it matters
Developers can now run OCR tasks locally with llama.cpp without needing separate software.
