Modular Platform Files

In MAX v26.6, we've added support for audio generation with MiniMax-Music3, which can generate 44.1 kHz stereo music from a text prompt. We've also added support for Inkling from Thinking Machines, a multimodal model that accepts text and image inputs with NVFP4 mixture-of-experts, and GLM-5.3, plus expanded coverage across the Kimi, Qwen, and Gemma model families. Speculative decoding now supports DFlash and DSpark draft models on Gemma 4 31B, which speeds up token generation without changing the model's output. We've also sped up kernels across NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, including up to 4.8× faster Gemma 4 decode attention, 7.9× faster MoE routing, 16× faster low-batch NVFP4 quantization on B200, and up to 6.6× faster decode attention projections on MI355. Plus, the max.gpu (max.modular.com) package now includes everything previously provided in Mojo's std.gpu package, making it a complete entry point for accelerator programming.

With Mojo 1.1, we've added support for inferred member references—a leading-dot form now resolves against the expected type (for example, SIMD[.float64, 4] instead of SIMD[DType.float64, 4]). We've improved compile time and generated code performance, and the language server now suggests fixes for common off-by-one typos. The move from legacy closures to unified closures continues—more APIs take closures as runtime arguments. We've marked more APIs in the standard library as stable, such as String, SIMD, and List. Some deprecated items are now removed, such as fn, alias, and __comptime_assert keywords and the @parameter if and @parameter for syntax. And much more.

Plus, we've recently opened more of the Mojo development process: we're now accepting contributions to the Mojo compiler!
