llama.cpp Release b10977 Bumps CUDA Version for Windows CI
The open-source LLM inference framework llama.cpp has released build b10977. This automated patch release updates the CUDA toolkit version used in Windows x64 continuous integration (CI) builds to 13.4.1. This maintenance update ensures that pre-built Windows binaries targeting NVIDIA GPUs remain compatible with the latest CUDA 13 toolchain. It helps maintain reliable builds and performance for developers running local AI models on Windows systems. The release primary change comes from pull request #28930, updating the Windows x64 CUDA 13 build target and its associated runtime DLLs. Pre-compiled binaries for other supported platforms, including macOS, Linux, and Android, are also included in the build release.
## BACKGROUND
llama.cpp is a popular open-source C/C++ library designed for efficient local inference of large language models across diverse hardware platforms. Continuous integration (CI) pipelines automatically compile and test code changes using GPU toolkits like NVIDIA CUDA to provide ready-to-run binary downloads for users.
