LM Studio runtime update breaks LLM loading; rollback advised

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user encountered an issue where LM Studio silently failed to load local LLMs after an automatic runtime update. The error presented as a cryptic, large unsigned exit code, which was identified as a Windows NTSTATUS code. Further investigation in the application logs revealed a CUDA error related to the flash-attention kernel on an RTX 5090 with the Blackwell architecture, indicating a broken fallback path in the updated llama.cpp runtime. AI

IMPACT Local LLM users should disable auto-updates for runtime extension packs to avoid similar model loading failures.

RANK_REASON The item describes a bug and workaround for a specific software tool (LM Studio) that affects local LLM execution, rather than a new model release or significant industry event.

    LM Studio silently broke my model load after a runtime auto-update — the NTSTATUS exit code decode

    <p>If you run local LLMs on Windows with an NVIDIA GPU, you've probably seen LM Studio's "runtime extension packs." They're the bundled CUDA/ROCm/Vulkan builds of llama.cpp that actually run your models. And by default, LM Studio auto-updates them in the background.</p> <p>That b…
