AI volume day, Tor Browser lands a real iOS plan

Fifteen of today's 33 releases come from AI tooling, almost all maintenance and compatibility work: llama.cpp, vLLM, Ollama, langchain and agent-SDK point bumps, no new model weights. Privacy posts the heaviest news item of the day outside the AI pile: Guardian Project's announcement of Project Cider, a plan to bring a full Tor Browser to iOS rather than the current workaround ecosystem. Bitcoin and self-hosting stay quiet, with Cashu's mint migration the one release worth flagging for operators before upgrading.
