ggml 1.0.0 cuts deprecated APIs and adds FP8, YaRN controls
The ggml-org project tagged ggml 1.0.0 on Nov. 13, pruning deprecated APIs and adding FP8, YaRN truncation controls and backend speedups, according to the GitHub release.

The ggml-org project published ggml 1.0.0 on GitHub on Nov. 13, 2026, tagging commit 417a024 in a github-actions release signed on GitHub.com1.
The project said the 1.0.0 cut prunes the deprecated public API and the legacy DIAG_MASK ops, adds configurable YaRN truncation and FP8 support, and includes performance work across CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, SYCL, OpenCL, WebGPU and Hexagon backends1.
API notes in the release include removing DIAG_MASK_INF and DIAG_MASK_ZERO, bumping the RPC protocol so incompatible peers are rejected, and adding ggml_rope_set_truncate and ggml_rope_get_truncate to control YaRN correction-bound rounding1.
The release also lists a backward pass for TRI, MUL_MAT src1 precision tests and gating for ggml_prec_set_acc, and an RPC protocol bump to v9 with faster loading and failure handling on unreachable endpoints or failed handshakes1.
On the core side, the scheduler skips uploading inputs that are not read and prefetches only inputs produced by earlier splits, and an MoE cache can compute a share of cache misses on the CPU and copy results back asynchronously1.
CUDA changes include few-row MMQ for batch sizes 2-24, MMVF for BF16 few-row matmuls, OCP FP8 support, fused NVFP4 gate/up matmuls with GLU in MMQ, and MoE layout and FlashAttention extensions1.
Metal fused MoE routing and kept fusable node groups in a single command buffer; Vulkan added an Intel FlashAttention prefill kernel; SYCL added a device-side MoE scheduler; OpenCL added decomposed Adreno FlashAttention1.
WebGPU gained batched tensor API support and new kernels including GROUP_NORM and MEAN; Hexagon added Q5_0/Q5_1 support and conv_3d; CPU paths switched MUL_MAT to F32 src1 and accumulate FlashAttention V in F321.
The release notes point to a ggml-org discussion on releases and versioning and ship source zip and tar.gz assets only1.
Independent coverage of the tag was not in this assignment; downstream llama.cpp users would need to check compatibility after the API and RPC protocol breaks1.
