In March 2026, Nikolay Melnikov developed and delivered LLaMA model inference support for CUDA 13.1 within the ScoopInstaller/Versions repository. He implemented this feature entirely in C and C++, integrating CUDA to enable efficient GPU-accelerated inference. The work included providing prebuilt binaries and designing an auto-update mechanism, which streamlines downstream deployments and reduces ongoing maintenance. By focusing on native development and robust software packaging, Nikolay ensured that users could easily access and update the CUDA 13.1 LLaMA inference package. The project demonstrated depth in binary distribution, versioned releases, and change traceability, though no major bug fixes were reported during this period.
