llama.cpp Release b10700 Renames Lazy Mode CLI Argument
The llama.cpp project has released version b10700, which renames the '--tensor-read-lazy' command-line interface (CLI) argument to '--lazy-mode' and introduces a new '-lzm' shorthand. This update improves consistency by aligning the CLI argument with the internal 'lazy_mode' parameter, making the command-line interface cleaner and easier to use for developers running local LLMs. The change also includes updates to the project's README documentation to reflect the new naming, and the pull request was assisted by an LLM agent (pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B).
## BACKGROUND
llama.cpp is a popular open-source framework written in C/C++ that enables efficient local inference of Large Language Models (LLMs) across various hardware architectures. It supports quantized model formats such as GGUF to run LLMs on consumer-grade hardware, including CPUs and GPUs.
