llama.cpp b10448 adds Kimi-K3 model support for local inference

The latest release of llama.cpp, version b10448, now fully supports the Kimi-K3 text model. This integration allows users to run Kimi-K3's advanced hybrid attention mechanism, which combines KDA and MLA components with cross-layer residual attention, on local hardware. This expansion benefits individuals and organizations focused on local LLM inference and benchmarking diverse model architectures on consumer-grade GPUs from NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel Arc. AI

IMPACT Enables local inference of a new model architecture with advanced attention mechanisms on consumer hardware.

RANK_REASON This is a software update for an inference engine, not a new frontier model release.
