June 2026 (ggml-org/llama.cpp): Delivered Eagle3 speculative decoding enhancements and cross-model integration with a strong emphasis on reliability, observability, and deployment flexibility. Key features include Eagle3 speculative decoding with layer input extraction, improved parameter handling, multi-sequence support, and a backend sampling chain with metrics to analyze acceptance length and acceptance rate per position. Also integrated Eagle3 with Qwen3.5/3.6 and added deferred boundary checkpoints for hybrid models to enable interoperable staged loading. Major fixes include a segmentation fault on long prompts and UBATCH handling improvements in embedding layer input extraction and encoder. These efforts reduce risk in production decoding, improve performance visibility, and enable smoother cross-model deployments. Demonstrated strong collaboration, upstream alignment, and proficiency in performance instrumentation and hybrid-model checkpointing.
