About ONNX Runtime
ONNX Runtime is doing the unglamorous work: C++20, CUDA 12, free-threaded Python, EP plugin API.
ONNX Runtime is mid-platform-modernization. v1.25.0 raised the build floor to C++20 and CUDA 12.0, removed the ArmNN execution provider, and bumped ONNX to 1.21. v1.24.1 made the parallel move on the Python side — dropped 3.10, added 3.14 and free-threaded (PEP 703) variants, and introduced the EP Plugin API for dynamically loaded execution providers. Between those structural releases, the 1.24.x patch line has been heavily security-focused: multiple heap out-of-bounds fixes (GatherCopyData, RoiAlign, Lora Adapters, ArrayFeatureExtractor). New model and operator support continues — Qwen3.5 across LinearAttention/CausalConvState/RMSNorm/RotEMB, including WebGPU.
