The ggml‑org team released llama.cpp version b11799 on Oct 21 2026. The update adds a SYCL implementation for q8 fast dequantisation (pull #30775). It also ships pre‑built binaries for Apple Silicon, Intel Macs, iOS, and several Ubuntu configurations including Vulkan and CUDA 12.8.
Why it matters
Developers can now run llama.cpp with faster SYCL dequant on compatible GPUs, expanding hardware options for running LLMs locally.
