llama.cpp b11073 coalesces MKL-FA softmax loads in SYCL

from English

The llama.cpp project released version b11073, which includes a change to the SYCL backend. This update coalesces MKL-FA softmax loads instead of assigning one work-item per row.

The release provides binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), Linux (Ubuntu with CPU, Vulkan, CUDA 12/13, ROCm 10.0, OpenVINO, and SYCL FP32/FP16), Windows (CPU, OpenCL Adreno, CUDA 12/13, Vulkan, OpenVINO, SYCL, ROCm 10.0), Android, and openEuler.
An iOS XCFramework is also included in the distribution.

The release notes do not specify performance improvements or user benefits for this change.

llama.cpp adds DFlash support for HunyuanOCR and fixes draft conversion

The llama.cpp project has added support for DFlash speculative decoding with the HunyuanOCR model by exposing layer input tensors in the target graph. This change allows the draft model to read residual streams, enabling image requests to run successfully with a draft acceptance rate of approximately 0.5 and byte-identical OCR output compared to non-speculative runs.

Transformers adds GGUF support via ggml kernels for local inference

Hugging Face's Transformers library now supports loading GGUF quantized models, leveraging the underlying ggml kernels to bring performance close to llama.cpp. This integration allows developers to run quantized checkpoints directly within the standard PyTorch-based API on supported hardware.
