The llama.cpp project released build b10712, introducing a new Vulkan top-k radix sort shader designed to support k values greater than or equal to 1024. This update specifically targets the Qwen 3.8 Flash Next model and includes corresponding tests as well as top-k qsa fusion.

  • Added top-k radix sort shader for k >= 1024 in Vulkan backend.
  • Included Qwen 3.8 Flash Next top-k tests to validate the new functionality.
  • Implemented top-k qsa fusion and performed code cleanup.

This release provides binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and iOS across CPU, GPU (CUDA, ROCm, OpenCL, SYCL), and AI-specific backends (OpenVINO, KleidiAI).
