llama.cpp b10864 fixes checkpoint eviction for hybrid models

from English

The llama.cpp project released build b10864, which includes a fix for the checkpoint spacing eviction logic in `create_checkpoint()`. Previously, the eviction rule kept the oldest checkpoint and erased later ones within `checkpoint_min_step`, causing prompts shorter than that threshold to drop the checkpoint needed for resumption. This forced hybrid and recurrent models to unnecessarily re-prefill from the previous checkpoint.

The update modifies the spacing rule to apply only when the checkpoint list is full (at `n_ctx_checkpoints`). It also replaces existing checkpoints at the same `n_tokens` instead of appending duplicates, ensuring correct state for subsequent requests. The release provides binaries for macOS, Linux, Windows, Android, and openEuler across CPU, GPU, and various accelerator backends.

AI Model Radar launches with measured hardware fit for open models

A new site called AI Model Radar helps users determine which open models actually fit their GPU or Mac by using measured data rather than estimates. The platform calculates weight sizes based on real published GGUF files and computes context cache layer-by-layer from model configurations.
