A single parser fix resolves a major structured output bug in llama.cpp...
The llama.cpp project, a popular open-source C++ implementation for running large language models locally, has released version b8925. This release is a critical update that fixes a significant bug in the parser for structured output. The project maintainers described the bug as a 'very stupid structured output bug,' emphasizing that it was a straightforward but impactful issue. The fix, implemented in commit 0adede8, resolves problems that could cause incorrect or malformed structured outputs when using the library's structured generation features.
The b8925 release includes extensive build support across multiple platforms and hardware configurations. For macOS users, builds are available for Apple Silicon (both standard and KleidiAI-enabled), Intel x64, and iOS XCFramework. Linux users get builds for x64, arm64, s390x CPUs, plus GPU-accelerated versions for Vulkan, ROCm 7.2, OpenVINO, and SYCL (FP32/FP16). Windows builds cover x64 and arm64 CPUs, CUDA 12 and 13, Vulkan, SYCL, and HIP. Android arm64 is also supported. The update has received positive reactions from the community, with users expressing relief and appreciation for the quick fix.
