4baa36ddd8 feat(backend): vllm-cpp - text-generation backend for vllm.cpp with llama.cpp-parity tool calling (#11100)
* 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).

* chore(vllm-cpp): bump the engine pin to the ENG-wave close-out

mudler/vllm.cpp@df8909b: the six engine-backed vLLM tool-parser families
(qwen3-coder/xml/mimo, kimi_k2, glm45/47, minimax_m2, gemma4, seed_oss)
text-reimplemented from their wire formats and held to the upstream test
suites - 39 registered dialects; the pinned vLLM registry is now covered
except the three Rust/Harmony-backed families, descoped by decision. kimi_k2
also gains a full native structural-tag builder; four new template
auto-detection rows land with test-pinned ordering.

Full backend e2e re-run green against Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU.

* fix(vllm-cpp): add the vllm-cpp-development gallery meta

The gallery grew the twelve latest/development image entries but was missing
the separate vllm-cpp-development meta (own capabilities map targeting the
-development image names), which every backend ships so the development
gallery resolves per-platform. Validated: all capability targets in both
metas resolve to existing entries, and every image URI's tag suffix matches
a backend-matrix build.

Also full-stack verified in this change's context (single-node local-ai from
this branch, locally-built backend under --backends-path, Qwen3.5-2B GGUF):
/v1/chat/completions non-stream (clean content + usage), streaming (SSE
deltas), tool_choice auto engaging get_weather engine-side with schema-valid
arguments and finish_reason=tool_calls, and streamed tool-call deltas in the
standard name-first cadence.

* fix(vllm-cpp): repair the CI backend builds - gcc-14 -Werror + fat-arch Triton

Two distinct failures took down all five vllm-cpp backend builds on the PR:

1. gcc-14 (ubuntu:24.04 CI images; the local toolchain is gcc-13) fails the
   engine build with -Werror=maybe-uninitialized in InputBatch::condense - a
   false positive through a staging std::optional's raw storage. Fixed
   upstream (mudler/vllm.cpp@61f3e85) by moving slot-to-slot directly;
   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.

Backend e2e re-run green at the new pin (Qwen3.5-2B on CPU, full suite).

* fix(vllm-cpp): cuda-12 images cannot compile compute_121a - target 120a only

The second CI round surfaced a CUDA-version constraint: the cuda-12 (12.8)
image's nvcc rejects 'compute_121a' (GB10 arch support landed with CUDA 13),
killing the amd64 cuda-12 build at nvcc. Gate the architecture list on
CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION (exported by Dockerfile.golang): cuda-12 builds consumer
Blackwell 120a only, cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary, arm64/l4t
(cuda-13) keeps single-arch 121a with the Triton cubins. GB10 is arm64, so
the amd64 cuda-12 image never served it - no capability change.

Verified by Makefile dry-run variable dumps for all three combinations
(cuda12 -> 120a; cuda13 -> 120a;121a; cpu -> CUDA off).

* fix(vllm-cpp): drop the cuda-12 variant - the engine needs the CUDA 13 toolchain

Third CI round, third layer: with the arch list already narrowed to 120a,
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.
- backend Makefile: BUILD_TYPE=cublas under CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=12 now fails
  fast with a clear message; cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary and
  arm64/l4t keeps 121a with the Triton cubins.

Verified: Makefile branch dumps for all four combinations (cuda12 loud
error, cuda13 fat, arm64 121a+Triton, cpu off), YAML parses, matrix filter
tests green, gallery capability targets all resolve.

* fix(vllm-cpp): forward multi-turn tool identity and reasoning to the engine

chatRequestJSON dropped Message.ToolCallId and Message.Name on role="tool"
replies and Message.ReasoningContent on assistant history, so a second
turn after tool execution reached the engine's chat template without the
fields that bind a tool result to the call it answers. Forward all three
(present-only, matching the OpenAI wire shape) and pin vllm.cpp to
6a0bd3e7, where ChatMessage parses/round-trips tool_calls, tool_call_id,
name and reasoning and the minja adapter exposes them to the template
context.

Adds the round-trip request-lowering spec (user -> assistant tool_call ->
tool reply -> lowered request) and re-ran the gated e2e suite against the
new engine pin with a real Qwen3.5 GGUF: chat, reasoning split, streaming
parity, required-tool and auto-tool cases all green.

The macOS runners have no nproc, so JOBS evaluated empty and

shows "nproc: Command not found" and 7+ concurrent clang processes being
reaped at the cutoff). Use the same portable fallback chain as the other

2d889e61a6 feat(backend): add magpie-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend (#11115)
* 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
pref-only importer entry, the backend capabilities map (TTS + TTSStream, no
voice cloning), and the README / compatibility-table docs rows.

Verified locally: unit + e2e Ginkgo suites pass against the real q8_0 GGUF
(22.05 kHz mono WAV, RMS > 0.01), a live gRPC LoadModel + TTS round-trip
returns valid non-silent audio, and the pre-commit gates (make lint,
make test-coverage-check) pass, run manually with LOCALAI_TEST_HTTP_PORT
overriding the locally-occupied 9090.

1e0baec2a7 fix(ci): repair nightly backend dep bumps for renamed localai-org repos (#11012)
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.

de2ec2f136 feat(backends): add voice-detect + face-detect ggml backends (replace Python insightface/speaker-recognition) (#10441)
* feat(voice-detect): add Go purego backend for voice-detect.cpp

Add backend/go/voice-detect implementing the Backend gRPC voice subset
(VoiceEmbed/VoiceVerify/VoiceAnalyze) over libvoicedetect.so via purego,
mirroring the parakeet-cpp / omnivoice-cpp backends.

The flat voicedetect_capi C ABI is dlopen'd cgo-less; malloc'd string and
float-vector returns are owned by Go and released through the matching capi
free functions, with the per-ctx last error surfaced into Go errors. Calls are
serialized via base.SingleThread since the C context is not reentrant.

Proto field mapping:
- VoiceEmbed: VoiceEmbedRequest.audio (path) -> embed_path -> Embedding+Model.
- VoiceVerify: audio1/audio2 + threshold (<=0 falls back to the
  verify_threshold option, default 0.25) -> verify_paths -> verified/distance/
  threshold/confidence/model/processing_time_ms.
- VoiceAnalyze: audio (path) -> analyze_path_json; the JSON age/gender/emotion
  document maps to a single VoiceAnalysis segment (start/end 0; gender "label"
  -> dominant_gender with the remaining float scores as the gender map; emotion
  label/scores -> dominant_emotion/emotion).

The Makefile pins voice-detect.cpp to 47546430, clones+builds libvoicedetect.so
with ggml static-linked (PIC, GGML_NATIVE off) so dlopen needs no external
libggml/libvoicedetect; ldd on the artifact shows only system libs. Ginkgo
tests cover option parsing and analyze-JSON mapping; embed/verify smoke specs
gate on VOICEDETECT_BACKEND_TEST_MODEL + VOICEDETECT_BACKEND_TEST_WAV.

Register the voice-detect.cpp speaker-recognition + voice-analysis
backend (added in Voice-INT-A) into LocalAI's distribution surfaces,
mirroring the ced backend (the closest mudler C++/ggml audio analogue):

- backend/index.yaml: add the &voicedetect meta-backend (capabilities
  platform map, no top-level uri) plus the full set of concrete per-arch
  image entries (cpu/cuda12/cuda13/metal/rocm/sycl/vulkan/l4t and the
  -development variants). Referential integrity audited - every alias
  target resolves.
- gallery/index.yaml: add 5 model entries on backend voice-detect -
  ECAPA-TDNN, WeSpeaker ResNet34, 3D-Speaker ERes2Net, CAM++ and the
  wav2vec2 age/gender/emotion analyze model. The engine architecture is
  read from GGUF metadata (voicedetect.arch) at load. GGUF artifacts are
  not yet published: each files: entry points at the intended
  mudler/voice-detect-gguf location with a TODO to fill sha256 after
  upload (no fabricated hashes).
- .github/backend-matrix.yml: add the linux build matrix block + the
  darwin metal entry mirroring ced.
- .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: track mudler/voice-detect.cpp via
  VOICEDETECT_VERSION (pin 47546430, = 4754643).
- core/config/backend_capabilities.go: register voice-detect in the
  backend capability map (VoiceVerify/VoiceEmbed/VoiceAnalyze ->

* feat(face-detect): add purego Go backend for face-detect.cpp

Add the LocalAI Go backend that dlopens libfacedetect.so (the flat
facedetect_capi_* C-ABI) via purego, mirroring the sibling voice-detect
backend. Implements the Face subset of the Backend gRPC service:

- Embeddings(PredictOptions): Images[0] base64 -> temp file -> embed_path
  -> L2-normalized ArcFace embedding.
- Detect(DetectOptions): src -> detect_path_json -> Detection boxes
  (class_name "face", [x1,y1,x2,y2] -> x/y/w/h).
- FaceVerify(FaceVerifyRequest): two images + threshold + anti_spoof ->
  verify_paths; best-effort img areas via detect.
- FaceAnalyze(FaceAnalyzeRequest): img -> analyze_path_json -> per-face
  age + gender ("M"/"F" normalized to "Man"/"Woman").

The Makefile pins face-detect.cpp to 636a1963 and builds the shared lib
with ggml + vendored libjpeg-turbo static (PIC), so the .so is
ldd-clean (no libggml) and exports only facedetect_capi_* (no jpeg_

* feat(face-detect): wire backend into index, gallery and build

Register the face-detect.cpp face detection / embedding / verification /
analysis backend (added in Face-INT-A) into LocalAI's distribution
surfaces, mirroring the voice-detect wiring (the closest mudler C++/ggml
recognition analogue):

- backend/index.yaml: add the &facedetect meta-backend (capabilities
  platform map, no top-level uri to avoid the meta-backend gotcha) plus
  the full set of concrete per-arch image entries (cpu/cuda12/cuda13/
  metal/rocm/sycl-f16/sycl-f32/vulkan/l4t and the -development variants),
  22 entries. Referential integrity audited: every alias target resolves.
- gallery/index.yaml: add 4 model entries on backend face-detect -
  face-detect-buffalo-l/m/s (insightface SCRFD + ArcFace/MBF, NON-COMMERCIAL)
  and face-detect-yunet-sface (OpenCV-Zoo YuNet + SFace, APACHE-2.0, the
  commercial-friendly alternative). The detector/embedder architecture is
  read from GGUF metadata (facedetect.arch) at load; only the real
  verify_threshold option is set (0.35 buffalo, 0.363 sface). GGUF
  artifacts are not yet published: each files: entry points at the
  intended mudler/face-detect-gguf location with a TODO to fill sha256
  after upload (no fabricated hashes).
- core/config/backend_capabilities.go: register face-detect in the
  backend capability map (Embedding/Detect/FaceVerify/FaceAnalyze ->
  face_recognition), mirroring insightface.
- .github/backend-matrix.yml: add the linux build matrix block + the
  darwin metal entry mirroring voice-detect.
- .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: track mudler/face-detect.cpp via
  FACEDETECT_VERSION (pin 636a1963).

* feat(recon): enable cuDNN conv path on arm64+CUDA13 recon backends

The voice-detect.cpp / face-detect.cpp engines have an opt-in cuDNN
implicit-GEMM conv path behind VOICEDETECT_GGML_CUDNN / FACEDETECT_GGML_CUDNN
(default OFF) that kills im2col on the GPU and reaches torch-cuDNN parity
(SCRFD 2.3x, WeSpeaker/ERes2Net parity), measured on the GB10
(arm64, CUDA 13, sm_121a).

Enable it for the CUDA build, but only where cuDNN actually ships: the
arm64 + CUDA 13 image (GB10/Jetson/L4T). x86 CUDA images carry no cuDNN,
so flipping it on globally for BUILD_TYPE=cublas would be a link failure.
The Makefiles gate on CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=13 + arch (TARGETARCH from the
matrix/Docker build, uname -m fallback for local builds).

backend/Dockerfile.golang already installs the runtime libcudnn9-cuda-13
in the arm64+CUDA13 apt block; add the matching libcudnn9-dev-cuda-13 so
the build-time link resolves.

39573ecd2a chore(whisperx): drop ROCm/hipblas build target (#9474)
whisperx has no upstream AMD GPU support and its core transcription path
(faster-whisper -> ctranslate2) falls back to CPU on AMD since the PyPI
ctranslate2 is CUDA-only. The torch rocm wheels would accelerate only the
alignment/diarization stages, producing a misleadingly half-working image.

Drop the hipblas variant rather than shipping a partially accelerated build
users can't distinguish from the real thing. AMD hosts now fall through
the capability map to cpu-whisperx / cpu-whisperx-development.

Also removes the now-dangling rocm-whisperx assertion from
pkg/system/capabilities_test.go and the ROCm mention from the whisperx
row in docs/content/reference/compatibility-table.md.

0e7c0adee4 docs: document tool calling on vLLM and MLX backends
openai-functions.md used to claim LocalAI tool calling worked only on
llama.cpp-compatible models. That was true when it was written; it's
not true now — vLLM (since PR #9328) and MLX/MLX-VLM both extract
structured tool calls from model output.

- openai-functions.md: new 'Supported backends' matrix covering
  llama.cpp, vllm, vllm-omni, mlx, mlx-vlm, with the key distinction
  that vllm needs an explicit tool_parser: option while mlx auto-
  detects from the chat template. Reasoning content (think tags) is
  extracted on the same set of backends. Added setup snippets for
  both the vllm and mlx paths, and noted the gallery importer
  pre-fills tool_parser:/reasoning_parser: for known families.
- compatibility-table.md: fix the stale 'Streaming: no' for vllm,
  vllm-omni, mlx, mlx-vlm (all four support streaming now). Add
  'Functions' to their capabilities. Also widen the MLX Acceleration
  column to reflect the CPU/CUDA/Jetson L4T backends that already
  exist in backend/index.yaml — 'Metal' on its own was misleading.

9da24cdf85 docs: Update model compatibility documentation with missing backends (#8889)
* docs: Update model compatibility documentation with missing backends

Added the following backends to README.md and compatibility-table.md:
- vllm-omni: Multimodal vLLM with vision and audio support
- nemo: NVIDIA NeMo framework for speech models
- outetts: OuteTTS with voice cloning capabilities
- faster-qwen3-tts: Faster Qwen3 TTS implementation
- qwen-asr: Qwen automatic speech recognition
- voxcpm: VoxCPM speech understanding model
- whisperx: Enhanced Whisper with word-level transcription

These backends exist in the codebase (backend/index.yaml) but were missing
from the documentation. This update ensures accurate reflection of currently
supported backends in LocalAI.

* Apply suggestion from @mudler
