Faster long prompts: 6.9% faster writing on a 32K-token agent task (Qwen3.8-27B), 3.6% (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B).

  • Prompts are read 1.7% faster.
  • With the Neural Engine off, answers match 1.1.5 on 12 of 12 Qwen3.8-27B prompts.
  • The Neural Engine split calibrates more reliably at startup; the first start after installing spends about 6 s on it.
  • ./pulsar --version prints "Pulsar 1.1.6".

Measured on an M5 Max, 2026-10-10. The long-prompt kernels apply on the 40-core M5 Max; other Macs run 1.1.5's.
