Open sourceStory 3 of the day
60-second takeaway: ggml-org releases llama.cpp v1.0.0 and ggml v1.0.0 with semantic-versioned C API and ABI guarantees across desktop and mobile hardware backends.
Why it matters: Formal C API and ABI stability guarantees remove frequent breaking header churn for hundreds of local desktop apps, mobile SDKs and language wrappers built on libllama and libggml.
