A new model lands on Hugging Face, you download the GGUF, and your Mac will not load it because the llama.cpp build inside your app predates the model's architecture. On a Mac that usually means waiting for the app to ship a new version, or cloning llama.cpp, building it with Metal yourself and poi…
