The previous pin was a merge commit from the experimental C ABI v9 branch. Pin the same MLX prefill gate on upstream main so the backend build does not pull unrelated ABI v9 work into every platform variant.

The previous commit quoted 99.1% of MLX-LM for the prefill-gated MLX build. That
figure divided by a two-run MLX-LM baseline, 27.135 and 27.744 generation tok/s
averaged to 27.44. Re-measured interleaved with ours over four ABBA blocks,
MLX-LM's decode is 27.848 with a 0.34% spread across six runs, so the 27.135 was
an outlier and averaging it in overstated us by roughly 1.5 points.
Corrected: the gated configuration is 24.37 tok/s, or 97.6% of MLX-LM, and the
MLX-off build is 23.9 tok/s or 95.9%. Prefill TTFT is unchanged at 524.5 ms
against MLX-LM's 532.6, so we remain about 1.5% faster there.
Nothing else changes. MLX still wins prefill and loses decode, the shape gate is
still the right disposition, and the pin and the flag are still coupled. The gate
is worth about 1.7 points over the MLX-off build rather than 2.7.

Bumps VLLM_CPP_VERSION from 9e1c9025 to eec09bed and turns VLLM_CPP_MLX back on.
These two must move together, which is why they are one commit.
Upstream now shape-gates the MLX provider to prefill: it declines m < 2, which is
exactly the decode GEMV. MLX's steel GEMM wins prefill, 524.5 ms of TTFT against
602 for the native path, but loses decode badly because the provider pays an
mx::eval synchronisation and an output memcpy on every call while decode makes
about 112 calls per token. Ungated it does both; gated it does only the good half.
Measured on an Apple M4 with Qwen3-1.7B-bf16 warm at p=512 g=128:
MLX gated to prefill (pin >= 89c46aeb) TTFT 524.5 ms 24.40 tok/s, 99.1% of MLX-LM
MLX ungated (older pins) TTFT 537 ms 12.7 tok/s
MLX off TTFT 602 ms 23.9 tok/s
This branch briefly defaulted the provider off, which was the correct call for an
ungated provider at the old pin. The gate is what makes on correct again, so the
pin and the flag are coupled: rolling VLLM_CPP_VERSION back before 89c46aeb while
leaving MLX on would select the middle row and roughly halve throughput. Both the
Makefile comment and the README state that dependency explicitly.
The bump also brings six Metal kernels landed upstream since the old pin — mma
prefill attention, a vectorised decode V accumulation, vectorised attention
staging, a fused qk-norm-RoPE preamble, a simdgroup-per-row softmax and a
simdgroup-per-head preamble — which take the non-MLX Metal path from 89.4% to
96.4% of MLX-LM on their own.
One caveat, recorded in the README: MLX's GEMM is not bit-identical to the native
kernel, so an MLX build produces a different greedy sequence than a non-MLX build.
That is a property of the provider rather than of the gate and predates this
packaging.

This branch opened with VLLM_CPP_MLX=on, justified by an A/B that measured the
MLX provider at 1.88x to 2.19x against the native MSL GEMM. That measurement was
correct when taken and is now stale: vllm.cpp's own Metal kernels have improved
several-fold since, through mma prefill attention, a vectorised decode V
accumulation, vectorised attention staging, a fused qk-norm-RoPE preamble and a
simdgroup-per-row softmax. The native path MLX was compared against no longer
exists.
Re-measured on the same Apple M4, in the same binary, with the arms toggled by
VT_OP_PROVIDER_DISABLE=mlx, on Qwen3-1.7B-bf16 warm at p=512 g=128:
MLX provider ON prefill TTFT 1370 ms warm throughput 11.98 tok/s
MLX provider OFF prefill TTFT 1400 ms warm throughput 22.06 tok/s
Shipping the previous default would have halved Apple Silicon throughput.
MLX's steel GEMM is still about 20% faster than ours in isolation, but the
provider pays a per-op mx::eval synchronisation plus an output memcpy, because it
cannot write into our buffer. Across prefill's roughly 112 GEMMs that overhead
leaves a 2% gain; on decode, where the same synchronisation is paid once per
matmul per token, it costs 46%. The option is kept for prefill-dominated
workloads, where the margin is small but real.
The README section is rewritten rather than patched: it previously presented the
stale table as the reason for the default, so leaving it in place would have made
the new default look arbitrary.

The darwin vllm-cpp image built the Metal backend with vllm.cpp's native MSL
GEMM only. vllm.cpp also ships an optional MLX provider for the dense GEMM,
kept OFF upstream because it costs a ~19 MB libmlx.dylib plus a ~105 MB
mlx.metallib, on the stated position that it must earn that cost by
measurement.
Measured on an Apple M4 (16 GiB, macOS 26.5.2) it does. One binary, arms
toggled with VT_OP_PROVIDER_DISABLE=mlx so there is no build-difference
confound, Qwen3-1.7B-bf16 p=512 g=128, 2 reps, arm order alternated per rep:
B=1 5.79 vs 3.08 agg tok/s (1.88x) TTFT 3.32 s vs 7.68 s
B=8 25.70 vs 13.69 (1.88x) TTFT 13.95 s vs 34.38 s
B=16 38.65 vs 17.69 (2.19x) TTFT 18.33 s vs 54.48 s
Peak RSS is unchanged (6.65 to 7.50 GB in both arms) and the output is
bit-identical: vllm.cpp's three-way parity test measures mlx-vs-msl NMSE of 0
on all six shapes, and mlx-vs-cpu equal to msl-vs-cpu, against a 5e-4 bar. MLX
serves the dense GEMM alone; paged attention stays vllm.cpp's own kernel
because MLX has no paged-KV primitive. Full disposition, including the
INDICATIVE status and the isolation actually achieved, is in vllm.cpp
docs/BENCHMARKS.md "MLX GEMM provider A/B on Apple M4".
Build: MLX comes from the pinned prebuilt pip wheel (MLX_VERSION, default
0.29.3) into a venv under the backend dir. Building MLX from source needs
`xcrun metal`, i.e. a full Xcode the macOS runners do not have, while the wheel
ships include/, lib/libmlx.dylib and the compiled metallib ready to link. The
install is a stamp FILE rather than a phony target, because a phony
prerequisite is always newer than libvllm and would re-link it every
invocation. VLLM_CPP_MLX=off restores the previous Metal build.
Packaging vendors libmlx.dylib, mlx.metallib and MLX's MIT license into
package/lib/. Three things this had to get right, each verified on the M4
before it was written rather than after:
1. libvllm.dylib links @rpath/libmlx.dylib and its build-time LC_RPATH points
inside the build venv, a path no user has. Every build rpath is deleted
and replaced with @loader_path/lib.
2. MLX loads its metallib from beside its OWN dylib, so both files must land
in the same directory or every Metal op fails with "Failed to load the
default metallib".
3. install_name_tool invalidates the code signature and macOS refuses to load
an arm64 image with a stale one, so the patched library is re-signed
ad-hoc.
Verified end to end on the M4 by building through this Makefile and running the
packaged artifact: `DYLD_PRINT_LIBRARIES` resolves libmlx from package/lib/,
`codesign -v` passes, no build-venv path survives in the load commands, and a
real generation runs with the provider selected (op=65 selected=mlx) and zero
metallib failures. A missing rpath now fails the build instead of the user's
first inference.
Cost: the darwin vllm-cpp image grows by about 124 MB.

The Anthropic translate provider builds the upstream request from scratch and
never emitted cache_control, so prompt caching was impossible for OpenAI-format
clients routed through cloud-proxy — even though the entire system prompt + tools
prefix is re-sent on every agentic turn.
Add an opt-in cache_prompt flag (ProxyOptions.cache_prompt; model YAML
proxy.cache_prompt: true). On a translate+anthropic model, buildAnthropicRequest
injects cache_control:{type:ephemeral} on the stable prefix — the system block,
the last tool, and the last message block (at most 3 of Anthropic's 4 allowed
breakpoints). Anthropic then serves the repeated prefix at the cache-read rate
(0.1x input) on subsequent calls, cutting cost on multi-turn/agentic workloads.
No effect in passthrough mode, for non-Anthropic providers, or when unset.
System is widened to any so it can carry the block form required to attach
cache_control, while still marshalling as a bare string when caching is off.
Adds a unit test asserting exactly three breakpoints when on and none when off,
and documents the option in docs/content/operations/cloud-proxy.md.

* feat(backend): add vllm-cpp text-generation backend (vllm.cpp)
Wrap https://github.com/mudler/vllm.cpp - the LocalAI-team from-scratch C++20
port of vLLM (paged KV cache, continuous batching, prefix caching, safetensors
+ GGUF loading, no Python at inference) - as a Go gRPC backend over its stable
C ABI (ABI v2) via purego.
Backend (backend/go/vllm-cpp):
- Load -> vllm_engine_load: accepts a .gguf file or a config.json model dir
(anything else is refused, satisfying the greedy-probe rule); context_size
maps to max_model_len, options block_size/num_blocks/max_num_seqs size the
KV cache and scheduler admission.
- Predict -> vllm_complete (blocking); PredictStream -> vllm_complete_stream
with the per-delta C callback bridged into the gRPC stream. The backend
embeds base.Base (not SingleThread): concurrent requests batch continuously
in the engine's shared AsyncLLM scheduler.
- PredictOptions.Grammar -> the ABI's structured_grammar (GBNF), giving
grammar-constrained tool calling at parity with llama-cpp; the ABI also
exposes JSON-schema/regex/choice constraints.
- Hand-mirrored POD structs with layout locked by unit tests
(unsafe.Offsetof vs the C offsets) and a runtime vllm_abi_version gate.
- One portable library per platform (vllm.cpp uses per-file SIMD tiers with
runtime dispatch), so no avx/avx2/avx512 variant builds.
Wiring:
- backend-matrix: CPU amd64+arm64 (per-arch + manifest merge), CUDA 12/13
amd64 (120a;121a Blackwell fat binary), L4T arm64 (121a, GB10/DGX Spark -
the runtime-proven GPU target), Vulkan amd64, and Darwin arm64 Metal.
- backend/index.yaml meta + 12 image entries (latest/development x cpu,
cuda12, cuda13, l4t, vulkan, metal); bump_deps registration for the
VLLM_CPP_VERSION pin; root Makefile registration; test-extra runs the unit
specs (pure Go, no engine build).
- Importers: preference-only swaps - llama-cpp (GGUF) and vllm (safetensors)
advertise vllm-cpp via AdditionalBackends and emit backend: vllm-cpp
without tokenizer templating (the C ABI takes the FINAL prompt; templating
and tool parsing stay LocalAI-side). No auto-detect importer.
- Docs: backends list, top-level README maintained-engines table,
compatibility table.
Verified: 20/20 Ginkgo specs against the real pinned engine and
Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU - blocking + streaming parity, greedy
determinism, stop words, GBNF-constrained generation, and 4 concurrent
streams; plus a dlopen/ABI-gate smoke of the built gRPC server binary.
Upstream ABI v2 + production structured-output wiring landed as
mudler/vllm.cpp@86013f3.

* feat(vllm-cpp): ride the autoparser code path - engine-side chat templating and tool engagement (ABI v3)
The backend now implements AIModelRich (PredictRich / PredictStreamRich) over
vllm.cpp's ABI v3 chat entry points, so chat and tool calling ride the SAME
code path as the llama.cpp autoparser: the ENGINE renders the model's chat
template, decides when a tool call engages, and parses it - LocalAI receives
pre-parsed ChatDelta / ToolCallDelta protos exactly as it does from llama-cpp.
- With use_tokenizer_template + structured Messages, PredictOptions lowers to
ONE OpenAI chat request JSON (messages, tools, tool_choice, sampling,
stream_options.include_usage) for vllm_chat / vllm_chat_stream. tool_choice
auto lowers engine-side to a LAZY structural-tag decode constraint - free
text until the model emits the tool trigger, then the call is
grammar-constrained; required/named force a call. Tool output is parsed by
the engine's streaming Hermes-style parser; each chat.completion.chunk maps
onto ChatDeltas (content / reasoning_content / tool_calls) which the host
already prefers over Go-side tag extraction. Without structured messages the
plain path (LocalAI templating + optional GBNF grammar) applies unchanged.
- The engine resolves the chat template from the GGUF tokenizer.chat_template
metadata (or tokenizer_config.json); templates beyond its minja subset -
e.g. the full Qwen3.5 namespace()/macro template - degrade engine-side to a
Hermes-aware fallback prompt (tools schemas + <tool_call> instruction) with
a stderr witness, so structural-tag engagement keeps working.
- Importers now emit the same config shape as llama-cpp for vllm-cpp
(use_tokenizer_template: true, no-grammar autoparser flow); only the
llama-cpp-specific use_jinja option and the vllm-python parser options are
dropped.
- Pin bumped to mudler/vllm.cpp@aaed7ec (ABI v3 + chat-prompt resolution).
Verified against the real engine and Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU: full
suite green - blocking chat, streaming deltas concatenating byte-equal to the
blocking answer, a REQUIRED tool call returning schema-valid arguments JSON,
and an AUTO run where the engine itself engages get_weather and streams parsed
tool deltas; plus unit specs for the request lowering, chunk->ChatDelta
mapping, and the C struct mirrors (ABI gate now v3).

* feat(vllm-cpp): ABI v5 - engine-side parser selection for 30 tool dialects + reasoning
Bump the vllm.cpp pin to the autoparser-parity engine: 30 tool-call dialects
(every pure-text parser in the pinned vLLM registry, each ported 1:1 with its
upstream tests), 7 reasoning parsers, google/minja as the template renderer
(the full Qwen3.5 template now renders engine-side), per-family structural
tags (tool_choice required/named compiles the model's NATIVE syntax where
expressible), and template auto-detection for both parser axes.
Backend changes:
- cModelParams mirrors ABI v5 (tool_parser + reasoning_parser fields,
layout-locked by the offset tests; ABI gate now v5).
- New model options tool_parser:<name> / reasoning_parser:<name> pass through
to the engine; unset means template auto-detection (18-row tool marker
table; [THINK]->mistral, <think>->think_auto for reasoning); "none"
disables the reasoning split; unknown names fail the first chat call.
- Chat chunks parse the `reasoning` field (the pin renamed
reasoning_content), flowing into ChatDelta.ReasoningContent which the host
already prefers.
Live e2e against Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU, full suite green: the
real chat template renders (no more fallback), reasoning auto-detection picks
think_auto so markerless answers stay pure content (the live run caught the
deepseek_r1 content-swallow upstream and drove the think_auto fix), required
tool_choice returns schema-valid arguments, auto tool_choice engages
engine-side and streams parsed deltas, and blocking/streaming stay
byte-identical. Turn latency also dropped (proper template EOS behavior).
Upstream program landed as mudler/vllm.cpp 86013f3..5fffe7e (ABI v2-v5,
minja, parser waves B1/B2/B4, reasoning seam, structural-tag registry,
think_auto).

1. gcc-14 (ubuntu:24.04 CI images; the local toolchain is gcc-13) fails the

false positive through a staging std::optional's raw storage. Fixed

verified BOTH ways under dockerized g++-14.2 (unfixed reproduces CI's two
diagnostics exactly, fixed compiles clean) with the engine's behavior
suites green. Pin bumped to that sha.
2. The amd64 CUDA builds died at CMake configure: the vendored Triton-AOT
cubin trees are per-arch and the engine refuses -DVLLM_CPP_TRITON=ON on a
multi-arch (120a;121a) fat build unless pinned to one tree, which would be
unsound for the other arch. Triton is now enabled only on the single-arch
arm64/GB10 build (where the cubins matter); the fat amd64 binary uses the
engine's non-AOT GDN path.

the cuda-12 (12.8) build still dies in ptxas compiling the sm_120a NVFP4 MMA
kernels ("Vector type too large, exceeds 128 bit limit") - the Blackwell fp4
path genuinely requires the CUDA 13 toolchain, and vllm.cpp supports
Blackwell-family GPUs only. Shipping a cuda-12 image without the fp4 kernels
would be a crippled build of an engine whose whole GPU story is fp4, so the
variant is dropped instead:
- backend-matrix: cuda-12 vllm-cpp entry removed (cuda-13 amd64, l4t arm64,
cpu, vulkan, metal remain).
- gallery: cuda12 image entries removed; the nvidia capability now resolves
to the cuda13 image in both metas; the nvidia-cuda-12 key is dropped so
older-driver hosts fall back to the CPU image instead of an unrunnable one.

arm64/l4t keeps 121a with the Triton cubins.

* feat(backend): add magpie-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend
Add a Go + purego backend wrapping the magpie-tts.cpp ggml port of NVIDIA's
Magpie TTS Multilingual 357M (encoder + autoregressive decoder over NanoCodec
tokens), producing 22.05 kHz mono audio in 5 baked voices (Aria, Jason, John,
Leo, Sofia; case-insensitive names or indices 0-4) across 9+ languages from a
single self-contained GGUF. Mirrors qwen3-tts-cpp / moss-tts-cpp: dlopen the
static-ggml shared library, bind the flat magpie_tts_capi_* C-API via purego
(no local C shim needed, the upstream .so exports it directly), and serve the
gRPC TTS + TTSStream methods behind base.SingleThread (the C context is not
reentrant across synthesize calls).
The backend CMakeLists translates the Makefile's -DGGML_{CUDA,METAL,VULKAN,HIP}
flags into upstream's MAGPIE_GGML_* toggles (upstream FORCE-overwrites the ggml
cache entries from those), pinned to magpie-tts.cpp v0.1.1
(e3f3dd1ebe22b64e7405f93b519f2d1930712568), which statically links ggml into
libmagpie-tts.so (ldd shows only system libs).
Wires the full registration: backend-matrix.yml (CPU amd64/arm64, CUDA 12/13,
Intel SYCL f16/f32, Vulkan amd64/arm64, ROCm, NVIDIA L4T + L4T CUDA 13, and
Darwin metal), backend/index.yaml metas and image entries, the root Makefile
build targets, the changed-backends backend-filter path mapping, the bump_deps
auto-bump matrix, a test-extra per-backend smoke job, the /backends/known

The "Bump Backend dependencies" workflow has failed every night for over
ten days. Four upstreams — ced.cpp, moss-transcribe.cpp, voice-detect.cpp
and rf-detr.cpp — moved from the mudler org to localai-org, so the GitHub
API answers 301 for the old slugs. ced.cpp additionally renamed its
default branch to main.
bump_deps.sh fetched without -L or -f and never checked the response, so
the redirect's JSON body was passed straight to sed, which died with
"unterminated `s' command". The loud failure was luck: an error body
without slashes would have been substituted into the Makefile as the new
pin, silently corrupting the version and shipping it in a bump PR.
Point the matrix at the new slugs and branch, and harden the script so a
bad response can never reach sed: follow redirects, fail on HTTP errors,
and require a bare 40-hex SHA before rewriting anything. Also refresh the
now-stale repository URLs in the backend Makefiles, test scripts,
backend/index.yaml and the docs.
Verified all 25 matrix entries resolve to a commit SHA and that the four
previously-failing jobs run end to end against the real API.

* fix(crispasr): initialize only declared submodules
The latest upstream commit contains an undeclared CrispASR gitlink that makes a blanket recursive submodule update fail. Limit initialization to the two submodules used by the backend build.

* fix(crispasr): resolve vendored WebRTC from project root
CrispASR now builds a vendored WebRTC VAD, but its include paths assume CrispASR is the top-level CMake project. Extend the existing embedded-project rewrite to the shared third_party root.

chore(moss-transcribe-cpp): bump pin to CUDA K-quant embed fix
Bumps the moss-transcribe.cpp pin to 190a569c, which merges the
host-side embed-lookup fallback for K-quant token_embd tensors
(localai-org/moss-transcribe.cpp#2).
Before this, running a q5_K/q4_K/q6_K moss-transcribe GGUF on CUDA
(or any non-CPU backend) aborted in getrows.cu with
"unsupported src0 type: q5_K" because ggml's GET_ROWS op has no
K-quant implementation on GPU, killing the backend process on the
first request. The engine now dequantizes the needed rows on the
host when the backend cannot run GET_ROWS for the tensor type,
producing bit-identical results.
Fixes#10862

* feat(backend): add moss-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend
Add a Go + purego backend wrapping the moss-tts.cpp ggml port of the OpenMOSS
MOSS-TTS-Local v1.5 text-to-speech model (GPT-J local transformer decoded through
MOSS-Audio-Tokenizer-v2), producing 48 kHz stereo audio with optional
reference-audio voice cloning. Mirrors the qwen3-tts-cpp backend: dlopen the
static-ggml shared library, bind the moss-tts.cpp C-API via purego, and serve
the gRPC TTS method. A thin C shim holds the pipeline handle and copies engine
PCM into a Go-freeable buffer.
Wires the CI registration: backend-matrix.yml (CPU, CUDA 12/13, Intel SYCL
f16/f32, Vulkan, ROCm, NVIDIA L4T, plus Darwin metal), backend/index.yaml metas
and image entries pointing at mudler/MOSS-TTS-Local-Transformer-v1.5-GGUF, the
root Makefile build targets, and the changed-backends.js path mapping.

* docs: list the moss-tts-cpp backend among the LocalAI-maintained engines
Add moss-tts.cpp to the README "Backends built by us" table, the
Text-to-Speech compatibility table, and the reference-audio voice-cloning
backend list, so the new backend is documented alongside its peers.

moss-tts.cpp history was collapsed to a single commit; repoint MOSSTTS_CPP_VERSION

* backend(moss-tts-cpp): add the moss-tts-cpp-development gallery meta
The gallery had the -development image entries but no matching -development
meta anchor (as locate-anything-cpp and depth-anything-cpp have), so the master
build was not installable as a gallery backend. Add moss-tts-cpp-development
mirroring the production meta with the -development capability image names.

* fix(crispasr): rewrite c2pa-audio submodule path for subproject builds
CrispASR a38cb89 adds a crispasr_c2pa_native static library whose sources
live in the new third_party/c2pa-audio git submodule, located via
CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR in src/CMakeLists.txt. That variable assumes CrispASR is
the top-level CMake project; LocalAI embeds it via add_subdirectory, so
the path resolved to backend/go/crispasr/third_party/c2pa-audio and every
build variant failed at CMake generate with 'Cannot find source file:
c2pa_native.cpp'.
Extend the existing talk-llama sed workaround to also rewrite the
c2pa-audio reference to PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR, which is correct both
standalone and as a subproject. The submodule itself is already checked
out by the recursive submodule init. Verified locally: the exact CI error
reproduces with CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR, and with the rewrite CMake configure,
crispasr_c2pa_native, and crispasr-lib all build cleanly on a CPU-only
fallback configuration.
