The ggml-org team has released llama.cpp b12032, with downloadable builds for macOS, iOS and several Linux systems. The release notes list one code change: SYCL builds will try PkgConfig to locate Level Zero include files and libraries. The notes do not describe any changes to model quality or runtime speed.

## The facts

- The release is tagged b12032.
- Downloads include macOS Apple Silicon and Intel, iOS, and Linux CPU or Vulkan builds.

## Why it matters

Developers building llama.cpp with SYCL may have another way to locate Level Zero dependencies; the release notes do not say which setups benefit or whether the change improves performance.
