A bug in the llama.cpp software that affected Tesla P100 GPUs has been identified and fixed. This issue caused the GPUs to perform calculations with reduced precision, leading to less accurate results in language model tasks. The fix, which involves a three-line code change, restores the intended precision and has been merged into the turboquant v0.3.0 release of llama.cpp. While the bug specifically impacted the P100 (sm_60) architecture, the developer notes that newer GPUs and other Pascal cards like the P40 (sm_61) were not affected.
