Lemonade 11.5 has been released, featuring a completed Lemonade Router, a new server-side job engine, and MCP client host capabilities.

Summary

The open-source AMD-backed Lemonade local AI server project has released version 11.5. This software enables easy deployment of large language model workloads across Ryzen AI NPUs, Radeon GPUs, and CPUs on both Windows and Linux. The most prominent new feature is the Lemonade Router, which automatically directs queries to appropriate models using rules, classifiers, semantic similarity, or an LLM-as-a-router approach. Additionally, version 11.5 introduces a server-side job engine for managing multi-step recipes via endpoints and allows the lemonade daemon to function as an MCP client host.
