The open-source NVIDIA Vulkan driver NVK has merged support for VK_EXT_mesh_shader in Mesa Git. This extension replaces the traditional rendering pipeline with two new programmable stages: task shaders and mesh shaders. The feature, which has been on the NVK/NAK TODO list since 2023, was contributed by Mary Guillemard and will ship in the upcoming Mesa 26.2 release next quarter.
