Changelog

Latest release: v0.10.8 (GitHub). This page covers user-visible changes in the LEAP SDK across releases. For per-build commit detail, see the release notes on Liquid4All/leap-sdk.

0.9.x → 0.10.x: Kotlin Multiplatform unification

Starting with v0.10.0, the LEAP SDK ships from a single Kotlin Multiplatform codebase. The two previously separate distributions (the Android-only ai.liquid.leap:* Maven artifacts and the iOS-only Liquid4All/leap-ios Swift package) were collapsed into one source tree that publishes to:

Swift Package Manager — Liquid4All/leap-sdk (new repo, for iOS / macOS consumers).
Maven Central — ai.liquid.leap:* (Android, JVM, and Kotlin/Native targets).

The standalone Liquid4All/leap-ios repository is no longer the iOS source-of-truth. Existing 0.9.x Swift call sites (Leap.load(...), Conversation.generateResponse(...), etc.) keep compiling thanks to a Swift compatibility layer, but new code should adopt the unified APIs documented in the Quick Start.

Five SPM products / four Maven artifacts

The unified KMP package vends a richer surface than the 0.9.x distributions:

SPM product	Maven artifact	Purpose
`LeapSDK`	`ai.liquid.leap:leap-sdk`	Core inference + conversation API
`LeapModelDownloader`	`ai.liquid.leap:leap-model-downloader`	Hosted / manifest-based model fetch
`LeapOpenAIClient`	`ai.liquid.leap:leap-openai-client`	OpenAI-compatible cloud chat client (new in 0.10.0)
`LeapUI`	`ai.liquid.leap:leap-ui`	Voice assistant widget — Compose Multiplatform (new in 0.10.0)
`LeapSDKMacros`	(Swift only)	`@Generatable` / `@Guide` constrained-generation macros

Breaking changes for iOS consumers

v0.10.0 raises the minimum iOS deployment target from 15.0 to 17.0 and macOS from 12.0 to 15.0. Apps targeting older OSes need to pin to 0.9.x or bump their deployment target before upgrading.

SPM URL change. Point your Swift Package Manager dependency at https://github.com/Liquid4All/leap-sdk.git (not the deprecated leap-ios repo).
CocoaPods removed. The SDK ships exclusively through SPM in v0.10.0 onward.
Toolchain bump. Xcode 16 and Swift 6.0 are required.
Swift downloader name. In current 0.10.x, Swift code instantiates ModelDownloader from the LeapModelDownloader SPM product. Android code still uses the Kotlin class ai.liquid.leap.downloader.LeapModelDownloader. See Model Loading for the constructor signatures.

Major additions since 0.9.x

The features below were introduced in the 0.10.x line.

OpenAI-compatible cloud client

LeapOpenAIClient / leap-openai-client is a small, dependency-light client for any OpenAI-compatible chat completions endpoint — OpenAI itself, OpenRouter, vLLM, llama-server, or your own proxy. It ships in the same package so you can route requests between an on-device LFM and a cloud model from a single app. See OpenAI-Compatible Client. LeapUI / leap-ui is a Compose Multiplatform module that ships a drop-in voice assistant widget — an animated orb, mic button, and status label — backed by a state machine that handles recording, generation, and audio playback. Stable on iOS, macOS, Android, and JVM; Wasm/Web is present in the source tree as preview. See Voice Assistant Widget.

Sideloading models from explicit paths

LeapDownloader.loadSimpleModel and LeapModelDownloader.loadSimpleModel load a model from explicit resource paths or URLs without going through the LEAP Model Library manifest. Useful for ADB-pushed bundles, app-bundled models, or any setup where you’ve already placed the model files on disk. See Model Loading — Sideloaded files.

iOS background downloads

The iOS / macOS Swift ModelDownloader(sessionConfiguration:) initializer accepts an optional URLSessionConfiguration? so downloads can continue when the app is suspended or killed. See Model Loading → Constructing the downloader.

`autoDetectCompanionFiles`

Leap.load(url:options:) on iOS gained an autoDetectCompanionFiles: Bool = true parameter that picks up companion files sitting next to the model file (e.g. multimodal projection weights).

Swift ergonomics

Compatibility layer keeps 0.9.x call sites (Leap.load(...), Conversation.generateResponse(...)) compiling on top of the unified KMP surface.
onEnum(of:) — SKIE-bridged sealed-class switching for Kotlin enums and sealed hierarchies (e.g. MessageResponse).
ChatMessageContent static factories — .text(...), .image(...), .audio(...) helpers instead of constructor calls.
Builder-style options — LiquidInferenceEngineOptions.with(cacheOptions:), etc.

Memory-mapped model loading by default

Starting in v0.10.4 and on by default through the current release, the inference engine loads model weights via mmap (use_mmap=true). It’s the default behavior for every loaded model. On mobile this is the most user-visible runtime change in the 0.10.x line. A public opt-out arrived in v0.10.5 as ModelLoadingOptions.useMmap: Boolean? (Kotlin) / LiquidInferenceEngineOptions(useMmap:) (Swift) — leave it null/nil to keep the default, or set false for filesystems where mmap misbehaves (some Android scoped-storage paths, certain network mounts). What changed. Previously the engine read(2)-ed the entire model file into a heap-allocated buffer before running prefill. Now it memory-maps the file: the kernel maps the on-disk weights into the process’s virtual address space and loads pages lazily as they’re accessed. Performance implications on mobile:

Lower private RSS. mmap’d weights are file-backed pages, not “anonymous private” RSS. iOS’s jetsam and Android’s low-memory killer both score apps primarily by anonymous RSS, so a 1.2B-Q4 model that previously counted as ~700 MB of dirty heap now shows as backing pages the OS may evict for free. Foreground apps are significantly less likely to be terminated under memory pressure.
Faster cold load. The constructor returns as soon as the file is mapped — typically tens of milliseconds — instead of waiting for the entire model to be read into RAM. The first inference pays the page-in cost incrementally as the engine touches weights.
Faster warm reloads. After the first load, the kernel’s page cache holds the model’s hot pages. Re-creating a runner on the same model (e.g. after a background termination and relaunch within the same boot) is near-instant — pages stream from the page cache, not disk.
Multi-model sharing. Two processes (or two runners in one process) loading the same model file share physical pages via the page cache, with no extra RAM cost.
Graceful memory pressure. When the OS needs RAM for the foreground UI or another app, it can drop read-only model pages without writing them anywhere (they’re backed by the file). The next access re-pages them in. With anonymous heap buffers, the kernel had to choose between swapping (slow) or killing the app (worse).

Trade-offs:

First-token latency on cold pages. The first generation against a freshly-mapped model triggers page faults as the engine walks the weights. This adds disk-I/O latency to TTFT on the first call after process start. The KV cache reuse documented above compounds well here: cached prefixes skip both prefill compute and the page-fault cost for weights touched during prefill.
Storage type matters. On devices with slow eMMC / external SD storage, lazy page-in can be noticeably slower than the old eager-read flow that loaded the whole file once. Internal flash on every shipped iOS device and any modern Android device is fast enough that this isn’t visible in practice.
Opt-out available since v0.10.5. Pass useMmap = false on ModelLoadingOptions (Kotlin) or LiquidInferenceEngineOptions(useMmap: false) (Swift) to force the legacy full-read loader. Use only when mmap misbehaves on the target filesystem; the default of null/nil keeps the engine default.

This change shipped via the inference-engine vendor pin bumped in v0.10.4 (v26.02.1-79-ge5f65988dc). The default has stayed on through every subsequent pin cascade.

KV cache reuse across generations

CacheOptions (new in v0.10.4, ergonomic Swift surface in v0.10.4.3) lets the engine persist KV-cache data between generateResponse calls so requests that share a prompt prefix skip the prefill work for the shared tokens.

Disabled by default. cacheOptions is nil (Swift) / null (Kotlin) until you explicitly pass LiquidCacheOptions.enabled(path:) / ModelLoadingOptions.cacheOptions(path:). Apps that don’t opt in see no prefix reuse and no on-disk cache directory created — same behavior as 0.9.x and pre-0.10.4 builds.

Why it matters. Transformer inference has two phases: prefill (compute keys and values for every prompt token) and decode (generate one new token at a time, reusing those K/V vectors). On mobile, prefill dominates time-to-first-token for any prompt longer than a few hundred tokens. With CacheOptions enabled, a previously seen prefix is read from disk instead of recomputed — TTFT can drop from seconds to under a hundred milliseconds on cache hits. Per-token decode cost is unchanged. When it speeds things up. Anywhere the same tokens appear at the start of many requests:

Multi-turn chat with a long system prompt. Every turn reuses the system prompt and earlier turns.
RAG / retrieval-augmented generation. Many queries share the retrieved-document preamble.
Few-shot prompting. A fixed set of examples precedes every request.
Agent loops. Tool definitions, role instructions, and task scaffold are stable across iterations.
Voice assistant continuations. Conversation history grows; everything before the latest user turn is cacheable.

The cache is a bounded LRU — the engine caps cache size and evicts the least-recently-used entries automatically; you do not need to manage the directory yourself. See Model Loading → KV cache reuse for the per-platform configuration. Minimal config:

// iOS / macOS (v0.10.4.3+)
let cacheDir = FileManager.default.urls(for: .cachesDirectory, in: .userDomainMask)[0]
    .appendingPathComponent("leap-kv-cache")

let options = LiquidInferenceEngineManifestOptions(
    cacheOptions: .enabled(path: cacheDir.path),
    contextSize: 4096
)
let runner = try await Leap.load(url: bundleURL, options: options)

// Android / JVM / KMP (v0.10.5+)
val cacheDir = context.cacheDir.resolve("leap-kv-cache").apply { mkdirs() }

val runner = downloader.loadModel(
    modelName = "LFM2-1.2B",
    quantizationType = "Q5_K_M",
    options = ModelLoadingOptions().apply {
        cacheOptions = ModelLoadingOptions.cacheOptions(path = cacheDir.absolutePath)
    },
)

Per-release notes

v0.10.8 — 2026-05-21

SKIE finally lands on leap-sdk-openai-client, closing the last Apple-side gap in the unified KMP surface. In the same release, generation errors gain an in-band representation so they survive the SKIE Flow → AsyncSequence bridge. SKIE applied to leap-sdk-openai-client (PR #258):

client.streamChatCompletion(request:) is now a Swift AsyncSequence — collect with for try await event in client.streamChatCompletion(...) instead of the v0.10.6 / v0.10.7 manual Flow.collect(collector: FlowCollector { ... }) shape.
onEnum(of: event) switches exhaustively over ChatCompletionEvent — the compiler errors on a missing case.
Nested Kotlin class names are preserved on the Swift side: ChatCompletionEvent.Delta, ChatCompletionEvent.Done, ChatCompletionEvent.Error (previously K/N flattened these to ChatCompletionEventDelta, etc.). ChatMessage.System / ChatMessage.User / ChatMessage.Assistant follow the same convention now.
The top-level Kotlin fun OpenAiClient(config:) factory exports as a real Swift convenience init — Swift call sites can drop the OpenAiClientKt. prefix and just write OpenAiClient(config: ...).
LeapOpenAIClient.xcframework is now a distributable framework (skie { build { produceDistributableFramework() } }) that bundles the SKIE-generated Swift wrappers, so a plain import LeapOpenAIClient is enough — no companion SKIE setup in consumer projects.
The Kotlin / JVM / wasmJs / K/N surface is unchanged — same OpenAiClient(config:) constructor, same Flow<ChatCompletionEvent>, same ChatCompletionEvent.Delta / .Done / .Error cases, same OpenAiClientConfig shape and OpenRouter extra-headers support.

See OpenAI-Compatible Client for the updated Swift call sites. In-band MessageResponse.Error (Kotlin) / LiquidMessageResponse.Error (Swift compat layer) (PR #258): Conversation.generateResponse(...) now emits a terminal MessageResponse.Error(throwable, message) value before closing the underlying channel with the same throwable. This closes a Swift gap: SKIE bridges Kotlin Flow to a Swift AsyncSequence with Failure = Never, so a thrown LeapGenerationException could not be observed from Swift — for await response in conversation.generateResponse(...) simply terminated silently. With the new in-band case, Swift consumers switch onEnum(of: response) over the .error arm and surface the failure to the user; Kotlin consumers using Flow.catch { } / try/catch keep working unchanged because the exceptional close is still emitted.

sealed interface MessageResponse {
  // ... existing cases ...
  data class Error(
    val throwable: Throwable,
    val message: String = throwable.message ?: throwable::class.simpleName ?: throwable.toString(),
  ) : MessageResponse
}

Public API: additive — binary-compatible — but exhaustive consumers need a small fix:

Kotlin: add is MessageResponse.Error -> { ... } to any exhaustive when (response) over MessageResponse, or an else -> { } fallback. Statement-position when blocks compile with a warning today; expression-position when blocks (returning a value) won’t compile until the new arm is added.
Swift: add case .error(let err): ... to any switch onEnum(of: response) or switch onEnum(of: liquidResponse) — the Swift compiler enforces exhaustiveness, so call sites stop compiling against v0.10.8 until updated.

The same shape mirrors to the iOS compat layer as LiquidMessageResponse.Error(throwable, message) for callers still on the 0.9.x LiquidConversation API surface.

Terminal-operator caveat (Kotlin). Terminal operators that stop after the first matching event — first(), first { ... }, take(1) — may now consume the in-band MessageResponse.Error value and complete normally, where previously they would have propagated the underlying exception. Pattern-match on the result before acting (or keep a .catch { } operator wired up) if your retry pipeline depended on exceptional completion.

The Flow returned by generateResponse is now backed by an unlimited-capacity buffer (buffer(Channel.UNLIMITED)) so the terminal Error emission can never be dropped under collector backpressure — losing it would silently strand Swift callers. Generated token volume is bounded by the model’s max-tokens setting, so the memory cost is negligible. Toolchain bumps (no consumer-visible effect):

Kotlin 2.3.20 → 2.3.21.
SKIE 0.10.11 → 0.10.12.

iOS / macOS Swift consumers don’t need to bump Xcode or Swift — the Xcode 16 / Swift 6 baseline from v0.10.0 still holds.

v0.10.7 — 2026-05-18

KMP target completion for leap-openai-client plus a repo-wide bytecode-hardening pass. iOS / macOS Swift surface is unchanged from v0.10.6 — this is a Kotlin/JVM ergonomics release for non-Apple consumers. New targets on leap-openai-client (PR #256):

jvm (Ktor CIO engine) — Maven Central now publishes ai.liquid.leap:leap-openai-client-jvm:0.10.7. Pure-JVM desktop / server apps can route OpenAI-compatible chat completions without dragging in Android or KMP targets. (The 0.10.0 — 0.10.6 SPM cascade only shipped Android + Apple + Linux/MinGW K/N + wasmJs metadata; the JVM slice was absent.)
wasmJs (Ktor Js engine) — browser-side chat-completions client matching what leap-sdk already targets.

The Apple slice (LeapOpenAIClient.xcframework) ships unchanged — same SSE-stream surface, same OpenAiClientConfig, same OpenRouter extra-headers support. SKIE is still not applied to this module in v0.10.7, so the Kotlin/Native exports remain the same as v0.10.6: Flow<ChatCompletionEvent> is not bridged to Swift AsyncSequence, and onEnum(of:) is not generated for ChatCompletionEvent. v0.10.8 enables SKIE on leap-sdk-openai-client — see that entry for the new Swift surface (for try await over the stream, exhaustive onEnum(of:) switching, SKIE-bundled OpenAiClient(config:) convenience init). Pin to v0.10.7 only if you need the pre-SKIE surface frozen. Bytecode hardening:

The leap-sdk-jvm, leap-openai-client-jvm, leap-ui-jvm, and leap-ui-android artifacts had been silently shipping Java 17 / Java 21 bytecode against the project’s stated JVM-target-11 stance. All ten published JVM / Android slices now consistently emit class-file major version 0x37 (Java 11). Consumers running on JDK 11 — particularly long-running services and JDK-11-pinned Android Gradle builds — are no longer at risk of UnsupportedClassVersionError.

Internal: KMP build centralization (no consumer-visible API change):

Root-level subprojects { tasks.withType<KotlinCompile>().configureEach { compilerOptions { jvmTarget.set(JvmTarget.JVM_11) } } } replaces 17 per-site JVM_11 pins.
Karma + headless Chrome runner for wasmJs targets centralized into the same subprojects {} block — replaces 3 per-site copies. Future modules pick up both patterns automatically.

Test coverage:

OpenAiClientTest’s seven SSE-stream + auth-header + error-event + malformed-chunk cases were promoted from androidHostTest to commonTest. They now also run on jvmTest, macosArm64Test, iosSimulatorArm64Test, linuxX64Test, mingwX64Test, and wasmJsTest.

iOS surface (unchanged from v0.10.6): The four XCFrameworks (LeapSDK, LeapModelDownloader, LeapOpenAIClient, LeapUi) ship the same Swift APIs as v0.10.6. The v0.10.6 ObjC class rename to ModelDownloader, the dual-import guard, the dynamic LeapModelDownloader framework, and the LeapDownloaderConfig() parameterless init all remain in place.

v0.10.6 — 2026-05-12

iOS ModelDownloader (the Swift class formerly known as LeapModelDownloader — see the rename note below) reaches parity with the cross-platform LeapDownloader. Callers no longer need to pair the two classes to download and load a model on Apple platforms — every entry point routes file transfer through URLSession and then hands off to the loader. New iOS API on ModelDownloader:

loadModel(modelName:, quantizationType:, options:, generationTimeParameters:, forceDownload:, downloadProgress:) — downloads (when needed) and loads in one call. The transfer registers in queryStatus, is cancellable via requestStopDownload, and continues across backgrounding when constructed with sessionConfiguration: .backgroundSessionConfiguration(withIdentifier:).
loadModel(manifestUrl:, options:, generationTimeParameters:, forceDownload:, downloadProgress:) — same flow keyed by a manifest URL.
loadSimpleModel(model: ModelSource, options:, generationTimeParameters:, downloadProgress:) — sideload from explicit paths or URLs; HTTPS sources stream through URLSession, local paths pass straight through.
forceDownload: Bool = false on all three load methods. Resolves the manifest first, then deletes the local cache, then re-downloads — a registry failure on resolve leaves the previously-working cached copy intact.
Resource-lookup helpers that previously lived only on the cross-platform LeapDownloader: getModelResourceFolder(...), getCachedManifest(...), getCachedFilePath(...), resolve(...), deleteModelFile(...).
requestDownloadModel(manifestUrl:, forceDownload:) overload for symmetry with removeModel(manifestUrl:) / queryStatus(manifestUrl:).

Breaking changes (Swift):

Class renamed: LeapModelDownloader → ModelDownloader on iOS / macOS. The Kotlin class still lives in ai.liquid.leap.downloader.LeapModelDownloader and Android consumers are unaffected; a @ObjCName(swiftName = "ModelDownloader") annotation gives the Swift export an unambiguous name distinct from the framework module’s own LeapModelDownloader name. Update Swift call sites:
```
- let downloader = LeapModelDownloader()  // was uninstantiable from Swift in 0.10.5 due to the class-vs-module name collision
+ let downloader = ModelDownloader()
```
Parameter labels renamed across the iOS ModelDownloader surface — model: / quantization: → modelName: / quantizationType: on every method that already existed: downloadModel(...), requestDownloadModel(...), requestStopDownload(...), queryStatus(...), removeModel(...), getModelSize(...). Every loader now uses the same labels across Swift and Kotlin — ModelDownloader (iOS, macOS), LeapModelDownloader (Android), and LeapDownloader (cross-platform) all share modelName: / quantizationType:.
LeapModelDownloader SPM library product is now single-target. It no longer bundles the LeapSDK target. Apps depending on this product must drop any direct LeapSDK SPM dependency from the same target — import LeapModelDownloader re-exports every LeapSDK Kotlin type (Conversation, ModelRunner, ChatMessage, Leap, the convenience extensions, …). Keeping both library products on the same target double-bundles the inference engine dylibs and triggers a build-time #error from the LMD umbrella header (see “dual-import guard” below); the LeapUI library product still bundles LeapSDK because LeapUI does not re-emit those types in its ObjC binding.
LeapModelDownloader.xcframework is now a dynamic framework. It was a static archive in 0.10.5. SPM applies Embed & Sign automatically; manual integrators must add the framework with “Embed & Sign” instead of “Do Not Embed”. The shipped XCFramework now also bundles the inference engine dylibs (libinference_engine.dylib, libinference_engine_llamacpp_backend.dylib, libie_zip.dylib) under Frameworks/ with an @loader_path/Frameworks LC_RPATH — consumers using LMD on its own no longer need LeapSDK.framework/Frameworks on their search path.
Dual-import build-time guard. LMD’s umbrella header carries a __has_include(<LeapSDK/LeapSDK.h>) && !defined(LEAP_DUAL_IMPORT_ALLOW) check that fires #error at the consumer’s preprocessing time when both LeapSDK and LeapModelDownloader frameworks are reachable in the same target. To opt out for legitimate combinations (e.g. transitive linkage via LeapUI), add LEAP_DUAL_IMPORT_ALLOW=1 to OTHER_CFLAGS.

New Swift conveniences:

ModelDownloader(), ModelDownloader(sessionConfiguration:), ModelDownloader(config:) — Kotlin/Native ObjC export strips default-argument metadata, so 0.10.5 forced Swift callers to pass every parameter (and LeapDownloaderConfig has seven). These new SKIE-bundled convenience inits restore the parameterless / single-arg forms.
LeapDownloaderConfig() parameterless convenience init mirroring the Kotlin defaults (saveDir = "leap_models", validateSha256 = true, etc.). Same rationale — LeapDownloaderConfig is a Kotlin data class with seven defaulted fields that the ObjC export couldn’t carry through.

Behavior changes:

requestDownloadModel(forceDownload: false) now short-circuits when a cached manifest already exists and every resource referenced by that manifest is present on disk — matches both the Android downloader’s idempotent-call semantics and what queryStatus(...) already reports. Earlier 0.10.5 builds would short-circuit on the manifest alone, leaving the caller stuck if any resource file had been removed. Pass forceDownload: true to re-download on top of a cache.
Cached-file lookup uses Ktor URL parsing instead of substring slicing, so URLs with fragments or query strings now produce the same filename the loader expects (getCachedFilePath was previously brittle for those shapes).

Fixes:

getAvailableDiskSpace() previously returned null on every Apple platform because the internal NSFileManager.attributesOfFileSystem(forPath:)[.systemFreeSize] extraction cast through as? Long (Kotlin) which never matches the bridged NSNumber. Now goes through NSNumber.longLongValue and reports the real free-space figure.

Other changes:

Options on the new load methods take LiquidInferenceEngineManifestOptions? (the Swift-friendly type already used by Leap.load), with toModelLoadingOptions() / toGenerationTimeParameters() conversion at the boundary — no separate KMP options class needed from Swift.
Internal: the iOS class uses kotlin.experimental.ExperimentalObjCName (stable in our Kotlin 2.3.20 baseline but still formally experimental).
No public-API changes for Android or non-Apple Kotlin/Native targets.

v0.10.5 — 2026-05-11

Headline additions: Android Leap Model Service for cross-app model sharing, the useMmap knob on ModelLoadingOptions, and a parameter-name cleanup on LeapDownloader.loadModel so it matches LeapModelDownloader.loadModel. Breaking changes (Kotlin):

ModelLoadingOptions.cacheDir: String? → cacheOptions: EngineOptions.CacheOptions? — KV cache configuration moves to a bounded-LRU CacheOptions value with explicit enabled master switch, per-tier caps (maxEntriesDisk, maxEntriesMemory, maxBytesMemory), and optional diskDisabled = true for memory-only mode. Migrate via the ModelLoadingOptions.cacheOptions(path = ...) factory (preserves the historical 40-entry disk budget and sets enabled = true). Constructing a raw CacheOptions requires enabled = true to enable the cache — a positive maxEntries alone is no longer sufficient.
LeapDownloader.loadModel(modelName, quantizationSlug, modelLoadingOptions, …) → loadModel(modelName, quantizationType, options, …) — parameter renames bring LeapDownloader in line with LeapModelDownloader. The same rename applies to loadSimpleModel(model, modelLoadingOptions, …) → loadSimpleModel(model, options, …) and loadModelFromManifestUrl(…). Swift sites that called downloader.loadModel(modelName:, quantizationSlug:, modelLoadingOptions:) need to swap to quantizationType: / options: after upgrading.
progress is now nullable (progress: ((ProgressData) -> Unit)? = null) — pass null to opt out (was an empty-lambda default).

New features:

ModelLoadingOptions.useMmap: Boolean? = null — exposes the engine’s use_mmap toggle to Kotlin/Swift callers. null (default) defers to the engine default of true. Set false only on filesystems where mmap misbehaves (some Android scoped-storage paths, certain network mounts). On Swift, LiquidInferenceEngineOptions gained a matching .with(useMmap:) builder. Previously mmap could not be disabled from the SDK.
Leap Model Service (Android) — leap-model-service is a new optional Android service that hosts loaded models in its own process and lets multiple client apps share them. Apps using LeapModelDownloader.loadModel(...) route through the service transparently when it’s installed on the device; otherwise they fall back to in-process loading. Per-UID session quotas, persistent foreground notification, disk-backed KV cache reuse across cold starts, and AIDL-routed registerFunction(s). Pass forceLocal = true on LeapModelDownloader.loadModel(...) to bypass the service for testing. See Model Loading for the routing model.
Service-side load progress — when routing through the model service, LeapModelDownloader.loadModel’s progress callback now fires for service-side downloads too (was previously local-path-only).

Fixes / refresh:

Apple LeapModelDownloader internal slot names switched from quantizationSlug → quantizationType for consistency. Public Swift label names (model: / quantization:) are unchanged.
Vendor liquid.h header refresh for Linux/MinGW K/N targets.

v0.10.4.5 — 2026-05-08

Engine ABI fix release. SPM consumers should bump to this version.

Engine pin advanced to v26.02.1-146-g777faf0dbb — fixes a K/N + Linux free(): invalid pointer SIGABRT in liquid_string_destroy (the FFI helper was freeing the wrong pointer slot).
Linux runtime smoke test now asserts the engine reports failure on a missing model path, guarding against silent-success regressions.
NativeLibLoader cleanup: stdout warnings moved to System.err; loader stays kotlin-stdlib-only.

v0.10.4.4 — 2026-05-07

K/N link-time --allow-shlib-undefined fix for Linux consumers. No API changes.

v0.10.4.3 — 2026-05-07

iOS/macOS Swift convenience surface for cacheOptions:

LiquidInferenceEngineManifestOptions(cacheOptions: ..., contextSize: 4096) now accepts native Swift types (previously the convenience init dropped cacheOptions and forced consumers to the verbose Obj-C designated init).
New with(cacheOptions:) builders on LiquidInferenceEngineOptions and LiquidInferenceEngineManifestOptions.
New LiquidCacheOptions.enabled(path:) static factory — Swift analog of ModelLoadingOptions.cacheOptions(path:).

(v0.10.4.2 was staged to Sonatype but never released; superseded by 0.10.4.3.)

v0.10.4.1 — 2026-05-07

Vendor pin refresh — bumps the inference engine to v26.02.1-142-gb4aa080538. Adds Strategy B chain-prefix replay for cold/warm bit-determinism and generalizes the Android backend native loader to Linux and Windows desktop. No public API changes.

v0.10.4 — 2026-05-06

Bounded-LRU CacheOptions API across JVM, Android, Kotlin/Native, Apple, and wasmJs.
use_mmap=true is now the engine default (via vendored IE pin v26.02.1-79+). Model weights are memory-mapped instead of read(2)-ed into a heap buffer. See Memory-mapped model loading by default above for the mobile performance impact.
K/N Linux link fix (--allow-shlib-undefined for libinference_engine.so against modern glibc).
Dynamic vendor pipeline + DT_NEEDED-based shipped-libs verify; inference_engine RUNPATH=$ORIGIN cascade for Linux/Windows shared vendor libs.
NativeLibLoader cross-platform load fixes (resource extraction + Windows pre-load topo-retry).
Three release-gate smokes (Linux K/N, Apple SwiftPM consumer, Windows JVM) wired into CI.

v0.10.1 — 2026-04-29

Additive fix release for Linux/MinGW Kotlin/Native consumers. Apple/SPM consumers see no API or behavior changes vs v0.10.0.

leap-sdk Linux/MinGW K/N artifacts on Maven Central now publish a -natives.zip classifier containing the runtime .so/.dll libraries.
New ai.liquid.leap.nativelibs Gradle plugin auto-wires the natives ZIP into consumer K/N executables.
leap-openai-client now publishes Linux/MinGW K/N klibs.
