llama.cpp lands MiMo v2.5 vision support

ggml-org/llama.cpp merged PR #22883 to add MiMo-V2.5 vision support, specifically image input mmproj handling so the model can process visual prompts locally through the llama.cpp stack. The PR notes validation on tasks like OCR, object recognition, and SVG generation, and also calls out a BF16 vs F16 stability issue that was uncovered during testing.

// ANALYSIS

This is the kind of low-level upstream work that quietly turns a text model into a genuinely multimodal local model.

–The feature landed in an upstream merge, so it should flow into the broader llama.cpp ecosystem rather than staying as a one-off fork patch.
–The PR is not just plumbing; it includes real-world image tests, which matters for local inference quality and regressions.
–The BF16/F16 discussion suggests the implementation is still sensitive to backend precision, so downstream users may need to watch for backend-specific quirks.
–For LocalLLaMA readers, the main value is simpler local vision support for MiMo v2.5 without waiting on external hosted tooling.
