56cc4f63fc feat(backend): locate-anything-cpp (open-vocabulary object detection via ggml) (#10264)
* feat(backend): add locate-anything-cpp backend (open-vocab detection via la_capi)

A Go/purego backend wrapping locate-anything.cpp's la_capi C ABI, implementing
the gRPC Detect RPC: image + open-vocabulary text prompt -> labeled boxes.
Mirrors backend/go/rfdetr-cpp; static-links ggml into a per-CPU-variant .so.

* fix(turboquant): drop obsolete legacy-spec shim after fork rebased

The TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant fork (pin c9aa86a) rebased past the
upstream common_params_speculative refactor (ggml-org/llama.cpp
#22397/#22838/#22964), the model_tgt rename (#22838) and get_media_marker
(#21962). The old fork-compat shim forced now-wrong legacy code paths,
breaking the build with errors like 'struct common_params_speculative has
no member named mparams_dft / type' and 'server_context_impl has no member
named model'.

Remove the obsolete LOCALAI_LEGACY_LLAMA_CPP_SPEC branches from the shared
grpc-server.cpp (stock llama-cpp and the modern fork both take the modern
path now), and narrow the one remaining gap (the fork still lacks
common_params::checkpoint_min_step) to a dedicated
LOCALAI_TURBOQUANT_NO_CHECKPOINT_MIN_STEP guard injected by
patch-grpc-server.sh. The patch script now only adds the turbo2/3/4
KV-cache types and injects that one macro.

* fix(turboquant): HIP-port the fork's CUDA additions (copy2d 3D-peer + cudaEventCreate)

The turboquant fork adds/modifies a few ggml-cuda.cu spots with CUDA APIs that
ggml's HIP/MUSA shim does not provide, breaking the -gpu-rocm-hipblas-turboquant
build. patches/0001-hip-guard-copy2d-peer-fastpath.patch (applied by
apply-patches.sh) ports them:

- Guard ggml_cuda_copy2d_across_devices's 3D-peer copy fast path with
  #if !defined(GGML_USE_HIP) && !defined(GGML_USE_MUSA) so HIP/MUSA fall through
  to the existing cudaMemcpyAsync staging fallback (HIP genuinely lacks
  cudaMemcpy3DPeerAsync, per the fork's own comment).
- Create the device event in ggml_backend_cuda_device_event_new with the
  HIP-aliased cudaEventCreateWithFlags(.., cudaEventDisableTiming) instead of the
  un-aliased plain cudaEventCreate, matching this file's own usage elsewhere.

CUDA builds are unaffected.

* ci(turboquant): drop the ROCm/hipblas build flavor

The TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant fork is not ROCm-clean at the current pin:
beyond the CUDA-API gaps already patched (3D-peer copy, cudaEventCreate),
its llama.cpp base fails to compile the flash-attention MMA f16 kernels for
head-dim 640 under HIP (cols_per_warp evaluates to 0 -> division-by-zero /
non-constant static asserts in fattn-mma-f16.cuh). That is a deep
ggml-on-ROCm kernel issue, not something a small fork patch can paper over.

Drop -gpu-rocm-hipblas-turboquant from the build matrix so turboquant still
ships for cpu / cublas / vulkan / sycl. Re-add it once the fork's HIP path
compiles (or upstream ggml fixes the large-head-dim MMA kernels for ROCm).

* build(crispasr): don't wire fixture-gated test into test-extra

Mirror the whisper Go backend: its AudioTranscription test is gated on
model/audio fixtures and skips in CI, so building crispasr (the heaviest

for zero coverage. The backend image build in backend-matrix.yml remains
the authoritative compile check.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* feat(crispasr): switch shim to crispasr_session_* multi-architecture API

The shim used whisper_full(), which in CrispASR is the whisper-only path:
libcrispasr only transcribes Whisper GGUFs through it. Multi-architecture
transcription (Parakeet, Voxtral, Qwen3-ASR, Canary, Granite, FunASR,
Paraformer, SenseVoice, ...) goes through the crispasr_session_* C-ABI,
which auto-detects the architecture from the GGUF and dispatches to the
matching backend.

Rewrite the C shim around crispasr_session_open / _transcribe_lang /
_result_* and add get_backend() so the selected backend is logged.
load_model now takes a threads param (session_open binds n_threads at
open). The session result is segment+word based with no token IDs and no
per-decode callback, so drop n_tokens / get_token_id /
get_segment_speaker_turn_next / set_new_segment_callback. set_abort is
kept for API parity but is best-effort: the session transcribe is blocking
with no abort hook.

Update the purego bindings and gocrispasr.go to match: tokens are left
empty, speaker-turn handling is removed, and AudioTranscriptionStream
emits one delta per non-empty segment after the blocking decode returns
(no progressive streaming via the session API), preserving the
concat(deltas) == final.Text invariant.

crispasr_session_set_translate is exported by libcrispasr but not declared
in crispasr.h, so it is forward-declared in the shim alongside the
open/transcribe/result functions.

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* build(crispasr): link full CrispASR backend set for multi-arch support

The shim's crispasr_session_* dispatch calls into the per-architecture
backend libs (parakeet, voxtral, qwen3_asr, canary, funasr, paraformer,
sensevoice, ...), which CrispASR builds as static archives. Linking only
crispasr + ggml dead-stripped every backend object from the final module
(nm backend-symbol count: 0), leaving a whisper-only .so.

Link the same backend set as crispasr-cli so the static archives are
pulled in. After this the module carries the backend symbols (nm count
407, .so grows from ~2.1MB to ~6.7MB) and the session API can dispatch to
every compiled-in architecture.

Also rewrite ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/examples/talk-llama to
${PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR}/... in the vendored src/CMakeLists.txt: CrispASR
locates its vendored llama.cpp via ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}, which is wrong when
CrispASR is add_subdirectory'd (CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR points at this backend
dir, not the CrispASR root). PROJECT_SOURCE_DIR is correct both standalone
and as a subproject; the sed is idempotent.

* test(crispasr): adapt suite to session API (blocking, no decode callback)

Register the new symbol set (drop the removed token/speaker/callback funcs,
add get_backend; load_model now takes 2 args). The session transcribe is
blocking with no abort hook, so a mid-decode cancel can't interrupt it:
change the cancellation spec to cancel the context before the call and
assert codes.Canceled from the pre-call ctx.Err() check, dropping the
<5s mid-decode timing assertion. The streaming spec still holds with
per-segment post-decode emission (>=2 deltas, concat(deltas) == final.Text).

* feat(gallery): add CrispASR ASR model entries (-crispasr)

Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>

* fix(gallery): keep only session-auto-detectable CrispASR ASR models

The crispasr backend loads models via crispasr_session_open, which
auto-detects the backend from the GGUF general.architecture using
crispasr_detect_backend_from_gguf. Architectures not in that detect
map cannot be opened, so those gallery entries fail to load.

Removed entries whose architecture is not wired into CrispASR
v0.6.11's session auto-detect router (they can be re-added when
upstream maps them):

- Not in the detect map: data2vec, firered-asr, funasr,
  fun-asr-mlt-nano, glm-asr, hubert, kyutai-stt, mega-asr, mimo-asr,
  moonshine{,-de,-streaming,-tiny-de}, omniasr{,-llm,-llm-1b},
  paraformer, sensevoice.
- Pending verification (filename-heuristic routed, not arch-detected):
  parakeet-ctc-0.6b, parakeet-ctc-1.1b. Their GGUFs are routed to the
  fastconformer-ctc backend by a filename heuristic in the model
  registry, which implies general.architecture is not a mapped string.

Kept the parakeet rnnt/tdt_ctc variants: convert-parakeet-to-gguf.py
writes general.architecture="parakeet" unconditionally and encodes the
rnnt/ctc distinction in metadata fields, so they session-auto-detect.

* feat(crispasr): TTS synthesis via crispasr_session_synthesize (24kHz)

Add tts_synthesize/tts_free/tts_set_voice to the C-ABI shim. They reuse
the already-open g_session (crispasr_session_open auto-detects a TTS
model) and dispatch to the upstream synthesis call, which returns
malloc'd 24 kHz mono float PCM. Orpheus needs a SNAC codec path that we
do not set, so it returns NULL here and surfaces as an error Go-side.

* feat(crispasr): implement TTS/TTSStream gRPC methods

Bind the new shim functions via purego and implement TTS, TTSStream and
a writeWAV24k helper. synthesize copies the C-owned PCM out before
freeing it; TTS writes a 24 kHz mono 16-bit WAV to req.Dst via
go-audio/wav. CrispASR has no progressive synth, so TTSStream
synthesizes fully, encodes to WAV, and emits the bytes as a single
chunk; it owns the results-channel close (the gRPC server wrapper ranges
until close), mirroring vibevoice-cpp's TTSStream.

* feat(gallery): add CrispASR vibevoice-tts model entry

aren't in the session auto-detect map. Those are follow-ups.

The crispasr Go file is entirely new, so new-from-merge-base lints every

* feat(crispasr): backend: and codec: model options (explicit arch + companion files)

Add two model-config options to the CrispASR backend via opts.Options:

- backend:<name> selects an explicit CrispASR backend (bypassing
  auto-detect) by routing load_model through
  crispasr_session_open_explicit, unlocking architectures the
  detector won't pick on its own (qwen3, cohere, granite, voxtral,
  moonshine, mimo-asr, orpheus, kokoro, chatterbox, etc.).
- codec:<path> loads a companion file (qwen3-tts codec, orpheus SNAC,
  chatterbox s3gen, or mimo-asr tokenizer) via the universal
  crispasr_session_set_codec_path setter after the session opens. A
  relative path resolves against the model directory. rc==0 means
  success or not-applicable; only a negative rc is fatal.

The C shim load_model gains a backend_name argument and a new
set_codec_path entry point; the Go bridge parses the prefix:value
options and registers the new symbol. The vad_only path is unchanged.

* refactor(gallery): use virtual.yaml base for crispasr models

The crispasr entries are just backend + model + a couple options, fully

trick) and drop the 36 redundant per-model gallery/*-crispasr.yaml files.

* fix(gallery): drop voice-requiring TTS entries (keep vibevoice-tts)

Real e2e showed qwen3-tts/orpheus/chatterbox don't synthesize through the
current shim: the codec: companion loads fine, but these engines additionally
need a voice pack / voice prompt / reference clip (qwen3-tts base errors
'no voice'; chatterbox is zero-shot cloning; orpheus uses named voices) that
the backend doesn't wire. (qwen3-tts also can't auto-detect: its GGUF arch is
'qwen3tts', unmapped by the detector — would need backend:qwen3-tts.) Removed
to avoid shipping non-working gallery entries; vibevoice-tts (built-in voice,
e2e-verified) remains the working TTS. Voice-pack wiring is a follow-up.

CustomVoice, orpheus). voice:<path>(+voice_text:<ref>) -> crispasr_session_set_voice

4912c9b73a feat(parakeet-cpp): add NVIDIA NeMo Parakeet ASR backend (parakeet.cpp) (#10084)
* feat(parakeet-cpp): L0 backend scaffold, LoadModel + AudioTranscription (text)

Add a Go gRPC backend that bridges LocalAI to parakeet.cpp via the flat
C-API (parakeet_capi.h), loaded with purego (cgo-less, mirrors the
whisper / vibevoice-cpp backends).

L0 scope:
- main.go: dlopen libparakeet.so (override via PARAKEET_LIBRARY), register
  the C-API entry points, start the gRPC server.
- goparakeetcpp.go: Load (parakeet_capi_load), AudioTranscription
  (parakeet_capi_transcribe_path, decoder=0 = per-arch default head),
  Free, serialized through base.SingleThread since the C engine is a
  thread-unsafe singleton. char* returns are bound as uintptr so the
  malloc'd buffer is freed via parakeet_capi_free_string after copy.
- AudioTranscriptionStream returns a clear "not implemented in L0" error
  (closes the channel so the server doesn't hang), wired in L2.
- Makefile: clone-at-pin + cmake (PARAKEET_VERSION for bump_deps.sh),
  with a local-symlink dev shortcut; run.sh / package.sh mirror whisper.
- Test auto-skips without PARAKEET_BACKEND_TEST_MODEL/_WAV fixtures.

Builds clean (CGO_ENABLED=0), gofmt clean, test passes. The single
unsafeptr vet note in goStringFromCPtr is documented and matches the
whisper backend's tolerated pattern.

Word/segment timestamps (L1) and cache-aware streaming (L2) follow.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): L1 word/segment timestamps via transcribe_path_json

AudioTranscription now calls parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json and shapes
the per-word / per-token timestamps into the TranscriptResult:

- Bind parakeet_capi_transcribe_path_json (purego, char* as uintptr like
  the other returns) and register it in main.go + the test loader.
- Parse the JSON document ({"text","words":[{w,start,end,conf}],
  "tokens":[{id,t,conf}]}) into typed structs.
- Synthesise a single whole-clip segment (parakeet emits no native segment
  boundaries) spanning the first word start to the last word end; token ids
  populate Segment.Tokens.
- Attach word-level timings only when timestamp_granularities=["word"],
  matching the OpenAI API (segment-level default). secondsToNanos mirrors
  the whisper backend's nanosecond convention.

Verified end-to-end against tdt_ctc-110m (f16): both the default and
word-granularity specs pass; builds clean, gofmt clean, vet shows only the
one documented unsafeptr note shared with the whisper backend.

Cache-aware streaming (L2) follows.

* feat(parakeet-cpp): L2 cache-aware streaming with EOU segmentation

Wire AudioTranscriptionStream to the streaming RNN-T C-API:

- Bind parakeet_capi_stream_{begin,feed,finalize,free}; feed takes 16 kHz
  mono float PCM ([]float32 via purego) and writes *eou_out on <EOU>/<EOB>.
- Decode opts.Dst to 16 kHz mono PCM (utils.AudioToWav + go-audio, same as
  the whisper backend), feed it in 1 s chunks, and emit each newly-finalized
  text run as a TranscriptStreamResponse delta.
- <EOU>/<EOB> events close the current segment; a closing FinalResult carries
  the full transcript plus the per-utterance segments (with a whole-clip
  fallback segment when no EOU fired).
- stream_begin returns 0 for non-streaming models, surfaced as a clear
  error instead of an empty stream. Honours context cancellation between
  chunks. Frees every malloc'd delta and the session.

Verified end-to-end against realtime_eou_120m-v1 (f16): the streamed
transcript matches the offline 110m reference word-for-word, deltas
reconstruct the final text, and the spec passes alongside the offline
specs. Builds clean, gofmt clean, vet shows only the shared documented
unsafeptr note.

Wire the new Go gRPC parakeet-cpp backend (parakeet.cpp ggml port of NVIDIA
NeMo Parakeet ASR) into LocalAI's build/CI/gallery surfaces, matching the
existing ggml whisper Go backend 1:1.

- .github/backend-matrix.yml: add 11 linux entries + 1 darwin entry mirroring
  every whisper build (cpu amd64/arm64, intel sycl f32/f16, vulkan amd64/arm64,
  nvidia cuda-12, nvidia cuda-13, nvidia-l4t-arm64, nvidia-l4t-cuda-13-arm64,
  rocm hipblas, metal-darwin-arm64), all on ./backend/Dockerfile.golang with
  backend: "parakeet-cpp" and -*-parakeet-cpp tag-suffixes.
- scripts/changed-backends.js: explicit inferBackendPath branch resolving
  parakeet-cpp to backend/go/parakeet-cpp/ before the generic golang branch.
- .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: track the PARAKEET_VERSION pin in
  backend/go/parakeet-cpp/Makefile (repo mudler/parakeet.cpp, branch master).
- backend/index.yaml: add &parakeetcpp meta + latest/development image entries
  for every matrix tag-suffix.
- Makefile: add backends/parakeet-cpp to .NOTPARALLEL, BACKEND_PARAKEET_CPP
  definition, docker-build target eval, and test-extra-backend-parakeet-cpp-

* feat(parakeet-cpp): L4 gallery importer for parakeet GGUFs

Add ParakeetCppImporter so parakeet.cpp GGUFs auto-detect on /import-model
and route to the parakeet-cpp backend (it also surfaces in /backends/known,
which drives the import dropdown).

- Match is narrow: a .gguf whose name carries a parakeet architecture token
  (<arch>-<size>-<quant>.gguf, e.g. tdt_ctc-110m-f16.gguf, rnnt-0.6b-q4_k.gguf,
  realtime_eou_120m-v1-q8_0.gguf), a direct URL to one, or
  preferences.backend="parakeet-cpp". It deliberately does NOT claim arbitrary
  llama-style GGUFs, nor the upstream nvidia/parakeet-* NeMo repos (.nemo, not
  runnable here).
- Registered in the ASR batch BEFORE LlamaCPPImporter so its GGUFs aren't
  swallowed by the generic .gguf importer.
- Import nests files under parakeet-cpp/models/<name>/, defaults to the
  smallest quant (q4_k, near-lossless on parakeet) with a size-ladder
  fallback, and honours preferences.quantizations / name / description.

Tested with synthetic HF details (no network): metadata, positive matches
(HF repo, direct URL, preference), narrowness negatives (llama GGUF, NeMo
repo), and import (default quant, override, direct URL), 9 specs pass,
build/vet/gofmt clean.

mudler/parakeet-cpp-gguf: tdt_ctc-110m/1.1b, tdt-0.6b-v2/v3, tdt-1.1b,
ctc-0.6b/1.1b, rnnt-0.6b/1.1b, and the cache-aware streaming
realtime_eou_120m-v1. Each pins the file sha256 and routes transcript
usecases to the backend.

  conversion (golangci-lint reports new-only issues, so unlike the whisper
  backend's identical line this one is flagged).
- Makefile: bump PARAKEET_VERSION to the current parakeet.cpp master commit
  (the previous pin's commit no longer exists after upstream history was
  squashed), so the backend image clone/build resolves again.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): pin PARAKEET_VERSION to a tag-stable commit

The previous SHA pin was orphaned when parakeet.cpp's single-commit master
was amended/force-pushed, so the backend image clone (git fetch <sha>) failed
across every build variant. Repoint to 845c29e, which upstream now keeps
permanently fetchable via the `localai-backend-pin` tag, so future upstream
amends no longer break the backend build.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): init the ggml submodule in the backend image clone

The backend Dockerfile clones parakeet.cpp at PARAKEET_VERSION with a shallow
fetch + checkout but never initialised submodules, so third_party/ggml was
empty and the parakeet.cpp cmake build failed at
`add_subdirectory(third_party/ggml)` (CMakeLists.txt:53) on every build
variant. Add `git submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1
--single-branch` after checkout, mirroring the whisper backend. Verified
locally: clone + submodule + cmake configure now succeeds.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): statically link ggml into libparakeet.so

The shared libparakeet.so linked ggml's shared libs (libggml*.so), but the
package only ships libparakeet.so, so at runtime dlopen failed with
"libggml.so.0: cannot open shared object file" (the e2e transcription test
panicked on load). Build ggml static + PIC (BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF,
CMAKE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE=ON) so libparakeet.so embeds ggml and depends
only on system libs already present in the runtime image. Verified locally:
ldd shows no libggml dependency.

* fix(parakeet-cpp): non-streaming fallback in AudioTranscriptionStream

The e2e streaming test ran AudioTranscriptionStream against tdt_ctc-110m
(not a cache-aware streaming model), so stream_begin returned 0 and the call
errored. Per LocalAI's streaming contract (and the whisper backend), a
non-streaming model should fall back to a single offline transcription
emitted as one delta plus a closing FinalResult. Do that instead of erroring,
so the streaming endpoint works for every parakeet model. Verified locally:
the streaming spec passes against the non-streaming 110m model via fallback.

7a4ca8f60d feat(backend): rfdetr-cpp native object detection + segmentation backend (#10028)
Adds a Go native gRPC backend that dlopens librfdetrcpp.so (built from
mudler/rf-detr.cpp at the pinned RFDETR_VERSION) via purego and exposes
the rfdetr.cpp inference pipeline through LocalAI's existing Detect RPC.

Supports all 5 RF-DETR detection variants (Nano/Small/Base/Medium/Large)
and 6 segmentation variants (SegNano/SegSmall/SegMedium/SegLarge/
SegXLarge/Seg2XLarge) with F32/F16/Q8_0/Q4_K quantizations. Pre-built
GGUFs ship at mudler/rfdetr-cpp-* on HuggingFace.

Detection returns Bbox + class_name + confidence; segmentation also
returns PNG-encoded per-detection masks via the rfdetr_capi accessor
functions (rfdetr_capi_get_detection_{class_id,box,score,class_name,
mask_png}).

End-to-end verified through POST /v1/detection: HTTP -> gRPC -> purego
dlopen -> rfdetr.cpp -> ggml -> response (9 detections on the detection
model, 21 detections + valid PNG masks on the seg-nano model against
the kitchen fixture).

Wiring:
  - backend/go/rfdetr-cpp/{main.go,gorfdetrcpp.go,CMakeLists.txt,
    Makefile,run.sh,package.sh,test.sh,.gitignore}
  - Top-level Makefile: BACKEND_RFDETR_CPP, docker-build target,
    .NOTPARALLEL, prepare-test-extra, test-extra
  - backend/go/rfdetr-cpp/Makefile: `test` target invoked by test-extra
  - .github/backend-matrix.yml: CPU + CUDA-12/13 + L4T CUDA-12/13
    (arm64) + HIP + Vulkan (amd64 + arm64) + SYCL f32/f16
  - backend/index.yaml: rfdetr-cpp meta anchor + latest/development
    image entries for every matrix tag-suffix
  - .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: RFDETR_VERSION pin tracking
    (mudler/rf-detr.cpp branch main)
  - gallery/index.yaml: 11 rfdetr-cpp-* entries (nano + 4 detection
    variants + 6 seg variants), all backed by mudler/rfdetr-cpp-*
    on HuggingFace with sha256 pinning on the F16 default
  - core/gallery/importers/rfdetr.go: GGUF auto-routing for HF imports
    (mudler/rfdetr-cpp-* repos route to rfdetr-cpp, Transformer-format
    repos stay on the Python rfdetr backend; explicit preferences.backend
    overrides both heuristics)
  - core/gallery/importers/rfdetr_test.go: table-driven coverage of the
    auto-routing + a live mudler/rfdetr-cpp-nano cross-check

scripts/changed-backends.js needs no change: the existing
Dockerfile.golang -> backend/go/${item.backend}/ branch already routes
the 9 rfdetr-cpp matrix entries to the correct backend path.

0245b33eab feat(realtime): Add Liquid Audio s2s model and assistant mode on talk page (#9801)
* feat(liquid-audio): add LFM2.5-Audio any-to-any backend + realtime_audio usecase

Wires LiquidAI's LFM2.5-Audio-1.5B as a self-contained Realtime API model:
single engine handles VAD, transcription, LLM, and TTS in one bidirectional
stream — drop-in alternative to a VAD+STT+LLM+TTS pipeline.

Backend
- backend/python/liquid-audio/ — new Python gRPC backend wrapping the
  `liquid-audio` package. Modes: chat / asr / tts / s2s, voice presets,
  Load/Predict/PredictStream/AudioTranscription/TTS/VAD/AudioToAudioStream/
  Free and StartFineTune/FineTuneProgress/StopFineTune. Runtime monkey-patch
  on `liquid_audio.utils.snapshot_download` so absolute local paths from
  LocalAI's gallery resolve without a HF round-trip. soundfile in place of
  torchaudio.load/save (torchcodec drags NVIDIA NPP we don't bundle).
- backend/backend.proto + pkg/grpc/{backend,client,server,base,embed,
  interface}.go — new AudioToAudioStream RPC mirroring AudioTransformStream
  (config/frame/control oneof in; typed event+pcm+meta out).
- core/services/nodes/{health_mock,inflight}_test.go — add stubs for the
  new RPC to the test fakes.

Config + capabilities
- core/config/backend_capabilities.go — UsecaseRealtimeAudio, MethodAudio
  ToAudioStream, UsecaseInfoMap entry, liquid-audio BackendCapability row.
- core/config/model_config.go — FLAG_REALTIME_AUDIO bitmask, ModalityGroups
  membership in both speech-input and audio-output groups so a lone flag
  still reads as multimodal, GetAllModelConfigUsecases entry, GuessUsecases
  branch.

Realtime endpoint
- core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime.go — extract prepareRealtimeConfig()
  so the gate is unit-testable; accept realtime_audio models and self-fill
  empty pipeline slots with the model's own name (user-pinned slots win).
- core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime_gate_test.go — six specs covering nil
  cfg, empty pipeline, legacy pipeline, self-contained realtime_audio,
  user-pinned VAD slot, and partial legacy pipeline.

UI + endpoints
- core/http/routes/ui.go — /api/pipeline-models accepts either a legacy
  VAD+STT+LLM+TTS pipeline or a realtime_audio model; surfaces a
  self_contained flag so the Talk page can collapse the four cards.
- core/http/routes/ui_api.go — realtime_audio in usecaseFilters.
- core/http/routes/ui_pipeline_models_test.go — covers both code paths.
- core/http/react-ui/src/pages/Talk.jsx — self-contained badge instead of
  the four-slot grid; rename Edit Pipeline → Edit Model Config; less
  pipeline-specific wording.
- core/http/react-ui/src/pages/Models.jsx + locales/en/models.json — new
  realtime_audio filter button + i18n.
- core/http/react-ui/src/utils/capabilities.js — CAP_REALTIME_AUDIO.
- core/http/react-ui/src/pages/FineTune.jsx — voice + validation-dataset
  fields, surfaced when backend === liquid-audio, plumbed via
  extra_options on submit/export/import.

Gallery + importer
- gallery/liquid-audio.yaml — config template with known_usecases:
  [realtime_audio, chat, tts, transcript, vad].
- gallery/index.yaml — four model entries (realtime/chat/asr/tts) keyed by
  mode option. Fixed pre-existing `transcribe` typo on the asr entry
  (loader silently dropped the unknown string → entry never surfaced as a
  transcript model).
- gallery/lfm.yaml — function block for the LFM2 Pythonic tool-call format
  `<|tool_call_start|>[name(k="v")]<|tool_call_end|>` matching
  common_chat_params_init_lfm2 in vendored llama.cpp.
- core/gallery/importers/{liquid-audio,liquid-audio_test}.go — detector
  matches LFM2-Audio HF repos (excludes -gguf mirrors); mode/voice
  preferences plumbed through to options.
- core/gallery/importers/importers.go — register LiquidAudioImporter
  before LlamaCPPImporter.
- pkg/functions/parse_lfm2_test.go — seven specs for the response/argument
  regex pair on the LFM2 pythonic format.

Build matrix
- .github/backend-matrix.yml — seven liquid-audio targets (cuda12, cuda13,
  l4t-cuda-13, hipblas, intel, cpu amd64, cpu arm64). Jetpack r36 cuda-12
  is skipped (Ubuntu 22.04 / Python 3.10 incompatible with liquid-audio's
  3.12 floor).
- backend/index.yaml — anchor + 13 image entries.
- Makefile — .NOTPARALLEL, prepare-test-extra, test-extra,
  docker-build-liquid-audio.

Docs
- .agents/plans/liquid-audio-integration.md — phased plan; PR-D (real
  any-to-any wiring via AudioToAudioStream), PR-E (mid-audio tool-call
  detector), PR-G (GGUF entries once upstream llama.cpp PR #18641 lands)
  remain.
- .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md — expand the capability-surface
  checklist with every place a new FLAG_* needs to be registered.

* feat(realtime): function calling + history cap for any-to-any models

Three pieces, all on the realtime_audio path that just landed:

1. liquid-audio backend (backend/python/liquid-audio/backend.py):
   - _build_chat_state grows a `tools_prelude` arg.
   - new _render_tools_prelude parses request.Tools (the OpenAI Chat
     Completions function array realtime.go already serialises) and
     emits an LFM2 `<|tool_list_start|>…<|tool_list_end|>` system turn
     ahead of the user history. Mirrors gallery/lfm.yaml's `function:`
     template so the model sees the same prompt shape whether served
     via llama-cpp or here. Without this the backend silently dropped
     tools — function calling was wired end-to-end on the Go side but
     the model never saw a tool list.

2. Realtime history cap (core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime.go):
   - Session grows MaxHistoryItems int; default picked by new
     defaultMaxHistoryItems(cfg) — 6 for realtime_audio models (LFM2.5
     1.5B degrades quickly past a handful of turns), 0/unlimited for
     legacy pipelines composing larger LLMs.
   - triggerResponse runs conv.Items through trimRealtimeItems before
     building conversationHistory. Helper walks the cut left if it
     would orphan a function_call_output, so tool result + call pairs
     stay intact.
   - realtime_gate_test.go: specs for defaultMaxHistoryItems and
     trimRealtimeItems (zero cap, under cap, over cap, tool-call pair
     preservation).

3. Talk page (core/http/react-ui/src/pages/Talk.jsx):
   - Reuses the chat page's MCP plumbing — useMCPClient hook,
     ClientMCPDropdown component, same auto-connect/disconnect effect
     pattern. No bespoke tool registry, no new REST endpoints; tools
     come from whichever MCP servers the user toggles on, exactly as
     on the chat page.
   - sendSessionUpdate now passes session.tools=getToolsForLLM(); the
     update re-fires when the active server set changes mid-session.
   - New response.function_call_arguments.done handler executes via
     the hook's executeTool (which round-trips through the MCP client
     SDK), then replies with conversation.item.create
     {type:function_call_output} + response.create so the model
     completes its turn with the tool output. Mirrors chat's
     client-side agentic loop, translated to the realtime wire shape.

UI changes require a LocalAI image rebuild (Dockerfile:308-313 bakes
react-ui/dist into the runtime image). Backend.py changes can be
swapped live in /backends/<id>/backend.py + /backend/shutdown.

* feat(realtime): LocalAI Assistant ("Manage Mode") for the Talk page

Mirrors the chat-page metadata.localai_assistant flow so users can ask the
realtime model what's loaded / installed / configured. Tools are run
server-side via the same in-process MCP holder that powers the chat
modality — no transport switch, no proxy, no new wire protocol.

Wire:
- core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime.go:
  - RealtimeSessionOptions{LocalAIAssistant,IsAdmin}; isCurrentUserAdmin
    helper mirrors chat.go's requireAssistantAccess (no-op when auth
    disabled, else requires auth.RoleAdmin).
  - Session grows AssistantExecutor mcpTools.ToolExecutor.
  - runRealtimeSession, when opts.LocalAIAssistant is set: gate on admin,
    fail closed if DisableLocalAIAssistant or the holder has no tools,
    DiscoverTools and inject into session.Tools, prepend
    holder.SystemPrompt() to instructions.
  - Tool-call dispatch loop: when AssistantExecutor.IsTool(name), run
    ExecuteTool inproc, append a FunctionCallOutput to conv.Items, skip
    the function_call_arguments client emit (the client can't execute
    these — it doesn't know about them). After the loop, if any
    assistant tool ran, trigger another response so the model speaks the
    result. Mirrors chat's agentic loop, driven server-side rather than
    via client round-trip.

- core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime_webrtc.go: RealtimeCallRequest
  gains `localai_assistant` (JSON omitempty). Handshake calls
  isCurrentUserAdmin and builds RealtimeSessionOptions.

- core/http/react-ui/src/pages/Talk.jsx: admin-only "Manage Mode"
  checkbox under the Tools dropdown; passes localai_assistant: true to
  realtimeApi.call's body, captured in the connect callback's deps.

Mirroring chat's pattern means the in-process MCP tools surface "just
works" for the Talk page without exposing a Streamable-HTTP MCP endpoint
(which was the alternative). Clients with their own MCP servers can
still use the existing ClientMCPDropdown path in parallel; the realtime
handler distinguishes them by AssistantExecutor.IsTool() at dispatch
time.

* feat(realtime): render Manage Mode tool calls in the Talk transcript

Previously the realtime endpoint only emitted response.output_item.added
for the FunctionCall item, and Talk.jsx's switch ignored the event — so
server-side tool runs were invisible in the UI. The model would speak
the result but the user had no way to see what tool was actually
called.

realtime.go: after executing an assistant tool inproc, emit a second
output_item.added/.done pair for the FunctionCallOutput item. Mirrors
the way the chat page displays tool_call + tool_result blocks.

Talk.jsx: handle both response.output_item.added and .done. Render
FunctionCall (with arguments) and FunctionCallOutput (pretty-printed
JSON when possible) as two transcript entries — `tool_call` with the
wrench icon, `tool_result` with the clipboard icon, both in mono-space
secondary-colour. Resets streamingRef after the result so the next
assistant text delta starts a fresh transcript entry instead of
appending to the previous turn.

* refactor(realtime): bound the Manage Mode tool-loop + preserve assistant tools

Fallout from a review pass on the Manage Mode patches:

- Bound the server-side agentic loop. triggerResponse used to recurse on
  executedAssistantTool with no cap — a model that kept calling tools
  would blow the goroutine stack. New maxAssistantToolTurns = 10 (mirrors
  useChat.js's maxToolTurns). Public triggerResponse is now a thin shim
  over triggerResponseAtTurn(toolTurn int); recursion increments the
  counter and stops at the cap with an xlog.Warn.

- Preserve Manage Mode tools across client session.update. The handler
  used to blindly overwrite session.Tools, so toggling a client MCP
  server mid-session silently wiped the in-process admin tools. Session
  now caches the original AssistantTools slice at session creation and
  the session.update handler merges them back in (client names win on
  collision — the client is explicit).

- strconv.ParseBool for the localai_assistant query param instead of
  hand-rolled "1" || "true". Mirrors LocalAIAssistantFromMetadata.

- Talk.jsx: render both tool_call and tool_result on
  response.output_item.done instead of splitting them across .added and
  .done. The server's event pairing (added → done) stays correct; the
  UI just doesn't need to inspect both phases of the same item. One
  switch case instead of two, no behavioural change.

Out of scope (noted for follow-ups): extract a shared assistant-tools
helper between chat.go and realtime.go (duplication is small enough
that two parallel implementations stay readable for now), and an i18n
key for the Manage Mode helper text (Talk.jsx doesn't use i18n
anywhere else yet).

Signed-off-by: Richard Palethorpe <io@richiejp.com>

* ci(test-extra): wire liquid-audio backend smoke test

The backend ships test.py + a `make test` target and is listed in
backend-matrix.yml, so scripts/changed-backends.js already writes a
`liquid-audio=true|false` output when files under backend/python/liquid-audio/
change. The workflow just wasn't reading it.

- Expose the `liquid-audio` output on the detect-changes job
- Add a tests-liquid-audio job that runs `make` + `make test` in
  backend/python/liquid-audio, gated on the per-backend detect flag

The smoke covers Health() and LoadModel(mode:finetune); fine-tune mode
short-circuits before any HuggingFace download (backend.py:192), so the
job needs neither weights nor a GPU. The full-inference path remains
gated on LIQUID_AUDIO_MODEL_ID, which CI doesn't set.

The four new Go test files (core/gallery/importers/liquid-audio_test.go,
core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime_gate_test.go,
core/http/routes/ui_pipeline_models_test.go, pkg/functions/parse_lfm2_test.go)
are already picked up by the existing test.yml workflow via `make test` →
`ginkgo -r ./pkg/... ./core/...`; their packages all carry RunSpecs entries.

86a7f6c9fa ci: close GC race + cascade-skip + darwin grpc gaps from v4.2.1 (#9781)
* ci: close the GC race + cascade-skip + darwin grpc gaps from v4.2.1

v4.2.1's backend.yml run (#25701862853) exposed three independent issues
on top of the singletons fix shipped in ea001995. Address all three plus
two related cleanups:

1. quay GC race in backend-merge-jobs-multiarch (12/37 merges failed with
   "manifest not found"). Even after PR #9746 split multi/single-arch
   merges, the multiarch matrix itself takes ~2h to drain at
   max-parallel: 8, and the earliest per-arch digests (push-by-digest,
   no tag) get reaped by quay's GC before the merge runs. The split
   bounded the race for multiarch; it doesn't eliminate it. Anchor each
   per-arch digest immediately to a tag in the internal ci-cache image
   (`keepalive-<run_id><tag-suffix>-<platform-tag>`). Quay won't GC
   tagged manifests. backend_merge.yml deletes the keepalive tags via
   quay REST API after publishing the user-facing manifest list.
   Cleanup is best-effort: if the quay token is not OAuth-scoped the
   merge does NOT fail, the orphan tags just persist.

2. cascade-skip on backend-merge-jobs-singlearch. v4.2.1 had 2 failed
   and 2 cancelled singlearch builds (out of 199); GHA's default
   `needs:` semantics cascade-skipped the entire singlearch merge
   matrix, so zero singleton tags were applied even though 197
   singletons built successfully. Wrap the merge `if:` in
   `!cancelled() && ...` for both multi and single arch in backend.yml
   and backend_pr.yml so partial build failures publish the successful
   tag-suffixes.

3. Darwin llama-cpp grpc-server build fails with `find_package(absl)`
   not found. Same shape as the ccache/blake3/fmt/hiredis/xxhash/zstd
   fix already in `Dependencies`: a brew cache hit restores
   `/opt/homebrew/Cellar/grpc` so `brew install grpc` no-ops, but
   abseil isn't in our Cellar cache list and never gets installed
   alongside, leaving grpc's CMake unable to resolve it. Mirror the
   `brew reinstall ccache` line with `brew reinstall grpc` to
   re-validate grpc's full transitive dep closure on every cache-hit
   run.

4. Move the four heaviest CUDA cpp builds back to bigger-runner. v4.2.1
   wall-clock: -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-llama-cpp 5h36m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-turboquant 6h05m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-llama-cpp 5h37m,
   -gpu-nvidia-cuda-13-turboquant 6h05m. The cuda-12 turboquant and
   cuda-13 turboquant entries are over GHA's 6h job timeout. Phase 5.3
   of the free-tier migration (PR #9730) had explicitly flagged this
   batch as 'highest-risk' with a per-entry revert path. All other
   matrix entries (vulkan-llama-cpp ~47m, ROCm hipblas-llama-cpp ~2h,
   intel sycl-f32 ~1h49m) stay on free-tier ubuntu-latest.

Verified locally: all six edited workflow YAMLs parse cleanly. Real
verification has to come from the next tag release run.

* ci: extract keepalive anchor + cleanup into .github/scripts/

The two inline shell blocks from the previous commit are long enough to
hurt readability of the workflow YAML and benefit from their own files
with self-contained docs. Move them to .github/scripts/:

  anchor-digest-in-cache.sh    backend_build.yml's keepalive anchor
  cleanup-keepalive-tags.sh    backend_merge.yml's best-effort cleanup

Workflow steps reduce to a single `run:` invocation each, with all the
parameter plumbing handled by env vars on the step. backend_merge.yml
also gains a sparse `actions/checkout@v6` step (sparse to .github/scripts
only) so the cleanup script is available on the runner — backend_build
already checks out for the docker build.

Net workflow diff: -36 lines across the two files. Script logic and
behavior are byte-identical to the inline version.

* test(e2e-backends): allow BACKEND_BINARY for native-built backends

Adds an escape hatch for hardware-gated backends (e.g. ds4) where the
model is too large for Docker build context. When BACKEND_BINARY points
at a run.sh produced by 'make -C backend/cpp/<name> package', the suite
skips docker image extraction and drives the binary directly.

  this check, `filepath.Dir(binary)` silently discarded the filename, so
  pointing the env var at an arbitrary binary failed later with a
  confusing assertion that named a path the user never typed.
- The "Testing image=..." debug line printed an empty string when the
  binary path was used, hiding the actual source in CI logs. The line
  now reports whichever of BACKEND_IMAGE / BACKEND_BINARY is in effect
  as `src=...`.

plain text the model emits, not special tokens.

Partial markers split across token chunks are buffered until a full marker
or a definitively-not-a-marker '<' is observed. RandomToolId() generates
the API-side tool call id (call_xxx) that exact-replay would key on.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): split hex escapes in DSML markers + add cstring/cstdio includes

C++ \x hex escapes have no length cap. '\x9cD' was read as a single escape

the DSML text the model emits. Split each escape with adjacent string literal
concatenation so the byte sequence is exactly EF BD 9C 44 (|D) at runtime.

Also adds <cstring> and <cstdio> includes (libstdc++ 13 does not transitively
expose std::strlen / std::snprintf via <string>).

  E: Conflicting values set for option Signed-By regarding source
     https://developer.download.nvidia.com/compute/cuda/repos/ubuntu2404/sbsa/

from scratch via its own keyring setup. Adopting that here.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): drop install-base-deps.sh dependency

The .docker/install-base-deps.sh pipeline is built around the llama-cpp
needs: NVIDIA keyring + cuda-toolkit apt + gRPC-from-source build at
/opt/grpc. For ds4 we don't need any of that:
- CUDA: nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-devel-ubuntu24.04 ships /usr/local/cuda
  ready to go; install-base-deps's keyring step then conflicts with
  the pre-installed Signed-By.
- gRPC: ds4's grpc-server.cpp only links against grpc++; system
  libgrpc++-dev (apt) is sufficient, no source build needed.

Replaced the install-base-deps invocation in Dockerfile.ds4 with a
direct 'apt-get install libgrpc++-dev libprotobuf-dev protobuf-compiler-grpc
nlohmann-json3-dev cmake build-essential pkg-config git'. Matrix entries
back to nvidia/cuda base + skip-drivers=true so install-base-deps would
no-op even if some downstream tooling calls it.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): correct proto accessors + alias grpc::Status as GStatus

Two compile bugs caught by the docker build:

1. proto::Message uses snake_case accessors. The build_prompt loop called
   m.toolcalls() / m.toolcallid() - the protoc-generated names are
   m.tool_calls() / m.tool_call_id(). Plan-text bug propagated to the
   wrapper.

2. The Status RPC method shadowed the 'using grpc::Status' alias, so any
   later method declaration using Status as a return type failed to parse
   ('Status does not name a type' starting at LoadModel). Solution: alias
   grpc::Status as GStatus instead, with no 'using' clause that would
   conflict. All RPC method declarations and return-statement constructions
   now use GStatus.

Pre-existing code reviewer flagged the Status-shadow concern as 'minor'
in the original Task 10 commit; it turned out to be a real compile blocker
under libstdc++ 13 once the surrounding methods were filled in.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): preserve TOOL_ARGS content in dsml_parser Flush

When the model emitted a parameter value that arrived in the same buffer
as the surrounding tool_call markers (e.g. the buffered tail after a
literal '</think>' opened the model output), the parser deferred all
buffered bytes to Flush() because looks_like_prefix() always returns
true while buf starts with '<'. Flush() then drained the buffer as
plain CONTENT/REASONING regardless of parser state, so the bytes
between the parameter open and close markers were classified as
CONTENT instead of TOOL_ARGS.

Symptom: the model emitted

  <|DSML|parameter name="location" string="true">Paris, France</|DSML|parameter>

and the assembled tool_call arguments came out as {"location":""} -
the opener and closer were emitted into the args stream but the
"Paris, France" content went to the assistant message instead.

Fix:

1. Flush() now uses the same state-aware emit logic as DrainPlain:
   PARAM_VALUE bytes become TOOL_ARGS (json-escaped when string),
   THINK bytes become REASONING, TEXT bytes become CONTENT, and
   INVOKE / TOOL_CALLS structural whitespace is discarded.

2. looks_like_prefix() restricts its leading-'<' fallback to buffers
   that have not yet seen a '>'. Without that change, char-by-char
   feeds would discard the '<' of '<|DSML|invoke name="..."' once
   the marker prefix length was reached but the closing quote/'>'
   were still in flight.

Verified with a standalone harness that runs the failing input three
ways (single Feed, split-after-'>', and char-by-char) and aggregates
TOOL_ARGS for tool index 0: all three now produce
{"location":"Paris, France"}.

* fix(backend/cpp/ds4): use ds4_session_sync + manual generation loop for KV persistence

ds4_engine_generate_argmax() is a self-contained helper that doesn't take or
update a ds4_session - it manages its own internal state. Our Predict and
PredictStream methods created g_session via ds4_session_create() but then
called ds4_engine_generate_argmax(), so g_session's KV state never advanced.
ds4_session_payload_bytes(g_session) returned 0 and the disk KV cache save
correctly rejected with 'session has no valid checkpoint to save'.

Switch both RPCs to the proper session API:
  ds4_session_sync(g_session, &prompt, ...)
  loop:
    int token = ds4_session_argmax(g_session)
    if token == eos: break
    emit(token)
    ds4_session_eval(g_session, token, ...)

After the loop the session has a real checkpoint and ds4_session_save_payload
writes the KV state to disk. Verified end-to-end on a DGX Spark GB10: three
.kv files (15-30 MB each) are written when BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS sets
kv_cache_dir, and the e2e tool-call assertion still passes.

Also added stderr diagnostics to KvCache (enabled/disabled at SetDir; per-save
path + payload_bytes + result) so future failures are visible instead of
silent. The 'wrote ok' lines are low-volume - one per Predict/PredictStream
when the cache is enabled - and skipped entirely when the option is unset.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): use ds4_session_eval_speculative_argmax when MTP loaded

Wires MTP (Multi-Token Prediction) speculative decoding into the manual
generation loop in both Predict and PredictStream. When the upstream MTP
weights are loaded via 'mtp_path:' option AND we're on CUDA / Metal,
ds4_engine_mtp_draft_tokens() returns >0 and we switch the inner loop to
ds4_session_eval_speculative_argmax(), which can accept N>1 tokens per
verifier step. When MTP is not loaded (no option, CPU backend, or weights
absent), we fall through to the simple ds4_session_argmax + ds4_session_eval
path with no behavior change.

Validated on a DGX Spark GB10 with the optional MTP GGUF
(DeepSeek-V4-Flash-MTP-Q4K-Q8_0-F32.gguf, ~3.6 GB). LoadModel logs
'ds4: MTP support model loaded ... (draft=2)' on stderr.

Caveat per upstream README: 'currently provides at most a slight speedup,
not a meaningful generation-speed win'. Wired now mainly to track the
upstream API; bigger speedups arrive when ds4 improves the speculative path.

* feat(backend/cpp/ds4): honor PredictOptions sampling with DSML-aware override

Mirrors ds4_server.c:7102-7115 sampling-policy semantics on the LocalAI
gRPC side. The generation loop now consults compute_sample_params() per
token to pick the effective (temperature, top_k, top_p, min_p), based on:

  1. Request defaults: PredictOptions.temperature / .topk / .topp / .minp
  2. Thinking-mode override: when enable_thinking != false, force T=1.0,
     top_k=0, top_p=1.0, min_p=0.0 (creativity for the reasoning pass and
     the trailing content)
  3. DSML structural override: when DsmlParser::IsInDsmlStructural()
     returns true (we are between tool-call markers but NOT in a param
     value payload), force T=0.0 so protocol bytes parse cleanly

When the effective temperature is 0, we keep using ds4_session_argmax +
MTP speculative path (matches ds4-server's gate that only enables MTP for
greedy positions). When > 0, we call ds4_session_sample(s, T, ...) with
a per-thread RNG seeded from system_clock and fall back to single-token
ds4_session_eval.

New public method on DsmlParser: IsInDsmlStructural() encodes which states
need protocol-byte determinism. PARAM_VALUE is excluded (payload uses user
sampling); TEXT and THINK are excluded (no tool-call context to protect).

Verified on the DGX Spark GB10: the e2e suite still passes with all 5
specs including tools, and the Predict output now varies between runs
(creative sampling active) while the tool-call args remain a clean
'{"location":"Paris, France"}' because the parser-state check forces
greedy on the structural bytes.

UX note: thinking mode is ON by default (matching ds4-server). Users who
want deterministic output should set Metadata.enable_thinking = false.

  sha256: 31598c67c8b8744d3bcebcd19aa62253c6dc43cef3b8adf9f593656c9e86fd8c

LocalAI's downloader verifies sha256 when present, so users who install
deepseek-v4-flash-q2 from the gallery get integrity-checked weights and
the partial-download issue (an 81 GB file is easy to truncate) becomes
recoverable instead of silently producing a broken backend.

* ci(backend_build): plumb builder-base-image and BUILDER_TARGET build-args

Adds an optional builder-base-image input. When set, BUILDER_BASE_IMAGE
is forwarded as a build-arg AND BUILDER_TARGET=builder-prebuilt is set
to select the variant Dockerfile's prebuilt-base stage. When empty,
BUILDER_TARGET=builder-fromsource (the default) keeps the existing
from-source build path.

This makes the prebuilt-base optimization opt-in per matrix entry
without breaking local `make backends/<name>` invocations or backends
whose Dockerfile doesn't have a prebuilt path.

* ci(llama-cpp,ik-llama-cpp,turboquant): multi-target Dockerfiles for prebuilt + from-source

Restructure the three llama.cpp-derived Dockerfiles so each supports
two builder paths in a single file, selected via the BUILDER_TARGET
build-arg:

  BUILDER_TARGET=builder-fromsource (default)
    - Standalone build: gRPC stage + apt installs + (conditionally)
      CUDA/ROCm/Vulkan + compile.
    - Used by `make backends/llama-cpp` locally and any caller that
      doesn't supply a prebuilt base.

  BUILDER_TARGET=builder-prebuilt
    - FROM \${BUILDER_BASE_IMAGE} (one of quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:
      base-grpc-* shipped in PR #9737).
    - Skips ~25-35 min of gRPC compile + ~5-10 min of toolchain installs.
    - Used by CI when the matrix entry sets builder-base-image.

Final FROM scratch resolves BUILDER_TARGET via an aliasing FROM stage
(BuildKit doesn't support variable expansion directly in COPY --from),
then COPY --from=builder pulls package output from the chosen path.
BuildKit prunes the unreferenced builder, so each build only does the
work for the chosen path.

The compile RUN is identical between both builder stages, so it's
factored into .docker/<name>-compile.sh and bind-mounted into both.
ccache mount + cache-id stay per-arch / per-build-type.

Local DX preserved: `make backends/llama-cpp` (no extra args) defaults
to BUILDER_TARGET=builder-fromsource and works exactly as before.

their own Dockerfiles don't reference, so it's a no-op for them).

* ci(backend-matrix): wire builder-base-image to llama-cpp variants

For every entry whose Dockerfile is llama-cpp/ik-llama-cpp/turboquant,
add a builder-base-image field pointing at the appropriate prebuilt
quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:base-grpc-* tag.

backend_build.yml derives BUILDER_TARGET from this field's presence:
non-empty -> builder-prebuilt; empty -> builder-fromsource. So this
commit alone activates the prebuilt-base path for these 23 backends
in CI, while local `make backends/<name>` (no extra args) keeps the
from-source path.

Mapping by (build-type, arch):
- '' / amd64        -> base-grpc-amd64
- '' / arm64        -> base-grpc-arm64
- cublas-12 / amd64 -> base-grpc-cuda-12-amd64
- cublas-13 / amd64 -> base-grpc-cuda-13-amd64
- cublas-13 / arm64 -> base-grpc-cuda-13-arm64

compile + toolchain install that's now in the base).

* ci: extract base-builder install logic into .docker/install-base-deps.sh

Pre-extraction, the apt + protoc + cmake + conditional CUDA/ROCm/Vulkan
+ gRPC install logic was duplicated across four files:
  - backend/Dockerfile.base-grpc-builder (CI prebuilt-base source of truth)
  - backend/Dockerfile.llama-cpp (builder-fromsource stage)
  - backend/Dockerfile.ik-llama-cpp (builder-fromsource stage)
  - backend/Dockerfile.turboquant (builder-fromsource stage)

A bump to e.g. CUDA toolkit packages had to be made in 4 places, and
drift between the prebuilt base and the variant-Dockerfile from-source
path was a real concern (ik-llama-cpp's hipblas branch was already
missing the rocBLAS Kernels echo that llama-cpp / turboquant /
base-grpc-builder all had).

Factor the install logic into a single .docker/install-base-deps.sh
that reads its inputs from env vars and runs conditionally on
BUILD_TYPE / CUDA_*_VERSION / TARGETARCH. Each Dockerfile now bind-
mounts the script alongside .docker/apt-mirror.sh and invokes it from
a single RUN step.

The variant Dockerfiles' grpc-source stage is removed entirely — the
script handles gRPC compile + install at /opt/grpc, and the
builder-fromsource stage mirrors builder-prebuilt by copying
/opt/grpc/. to /usr/local/.

Result:
  - install-base-deps.sh: 244 lines (one source of truth)
  - Dockerfile.base-grpc-builder: 268 -> 98 lines
  - Dockerfile.llama-cpp: 361 -> 157 lines
  - Dockerfile.ik-llama-cpp: 348 -> 151 lines
  - Dockerfile.turboquant: 355 -> 154 lines
  - Total Dockerfile bytes: 1332 -> 560 lines (58% reduction)

Bit-equivalence between prebuilt and from-source paths is now enforced
by construction: both invoke the same script with the same inputs.
A side-effect is that ik-llama-cpp now also gets the rocBLAS Kernels
echo + clblas block parity it was previously missing.

Includes the BUILD_TYPE=clblas branch (libclblast-dev) for parity even
though no current CI matrix entry uses it.

After this commit's force-push, base-images.yml needs to be redispatched
on this branch — the Dockerfile.base-grpc-builder content shifts so the
existing cache won't apply for the install layer (gRPC layer also
rebuilds since it's now in the same RUN step).

* ci(base-images): skip-drivers on JetPack l4t variant

cuda-nvcc-12-0 isn't installable via apt on the JetPack r36.4.0 base
image — JetPack ships CUDA preinstalled at /usr/local/cuda and its
apt feed doesn't carry the cuda-nvcc-* packages from the public
repositories. The original matrix entry for -nvidia-l4t-arm64-llama-cpp
on master sets skip-drivers: 'true' for exactly this reason; the
new base-grpc-l4t-cuda-12-arm64 base needs to match.

Also forwards SKIP_DRIVERS as a build-arg from matrix into the build
(was missing entirely before this commit).

Caught by run 25612030775 — l4t-cuda-12-arm64 failed at:
  E: Package 'cuda-nvcc-12-0' has no installation candidate

733c254b32 ci: consolidate llama-cpp-darwin into the matrix-driven Darwin flow (#9731)
The bespoke llama-cpp-darwin + llama-cpp-darwin-publish top-level jobs
in backend.yml ran unconditionally on every backend.yml trigger
(push/cron), bypassing the path filter that all 34 other Darwin
backends already honor via backend-jobs-darwin -> backend_build_darwin.yml.

Move llama-cpp into the includeDarwin matrix:
- New entry in .github/backend-matrix.yml (lang=go, no build-type).
- backend_build_darwin.yml gains an `if: inputs.backend == 'llama-cpp'`
  build step that drives `make backends/llama-cpp-darwin`. The bespoke
  script (scripts/build/llama-cpp-darwin.sh) compiles three CMake
  variants from backend/cpp/llama-cpp and bundles dylibs via otool, so
  it doesn't fit the build-darwin-go-backend mold; the existing
  llama-cpp-aware ccache setup blocks already in this workflow are
  what motivated the consolidation in the first place.
- scripts/changed-backends.js's inferBackendPathDarwin gains a special
  case so llama-cpp on Darwin maps to backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ (the C++
  source tree) rather than the non-existent backend/go/llama-cpp/.
- Bumps Darwin go-version from 1.24.x -> 1.25.x in backend.yml and
  backend_pr.yml so llama-cpp keeps the Go toolchain it had under the
  bespoke job; the other 34 Darwin backends pick this up too with no
  known reason to pin 1.24.
- Removes ~80 lines of bespoke YAML from backend.yml.

The publish path is unchanged in shape - every Darwin backend now uses
the same crane-push leg from ubuntu-latest in
backend_build_darwin.yml; only the build target differs per backend.

After this commit, llama-cpp-darwin only rebuilds when
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ is touched (verified locally) - same behavior
as every other Darwin backend.

f0374aa0e8 ci: finish GHA free-tier migration (per-arch fan-out, image splits, retire self-hosted, fix provenance) (#9730)
* ci: add per-arch + manifest-merge support for LocalAI server image

Mirror the backend_build.yml + backend_merge.yml pattern shipped in
PR #9726 for the LocalAI server image:

- image_build.yml accepts optional platform-tag (default ''), scopes
  registry cache to cache-localai<suffix>-<platform-tag>, and pushes
  by canonical digest only on push events. Digests upload as artifacts
  named digests-localai<suffix>-<platform-tag>, with a "-core"
  placeholder when tag-suffix is empty so the merge job's download
  pattern doesn't over-match across multiple suffixes.
- image_merge.yml is a new reusable workflow that downloads matching
  digest artifacts and assembles the final tagged manifest list via
  docker buildx imagetools create.

Image names differ from backend_*.yml: the LocalAI server is published
under quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai and localai/localai (not -backends).

Not yet wired into image.yml / image-pr.yml — Commit C does that.

* ci: fan out per-arch split to remaining 34 backends

Convert all remaining linux/amd64,linux/arm64 entries in
backend-matrix.yml to per-arch + manifest-merge form. Each was a
single matrix entry running both arches on x86 under QEMU emulation;
each becomes two entries — amd64 on ubuntu-latest, arm64 on
ubuntu-24.04-arm (native).

Four backends that were on bigger-runner (-cpu-llama-cpp,
-cpu-turboquant, -gpu-vulkan-llama-cpp, -gpu-vulkan-turboquant) have
both legs moved to free tier as part of the same change. They are
compile-only (no torch/CUDA install) and fit comfortably with the
setup-build-disk /mnt relocation. Phase 4 (next commit) retires the
remaining 5 single-arch bigger-runner entries.

After this commit:
- 271 total matrix entries (was 237)
- 0 multi-arch entries left
- 36 per-arch pairs (34 new + 2 pilots from PR #9727)
- 5 bigger-runner entries remaining (single-arch, Phase 4 target)

* ci: split LocalAI image multi-arch entries per arch + merge

Mirror the backend per-arch split for the main LocalAI image:

- image.yml's core-image-build matrix: split the core ('') and
  -gpu-vulkan entries into amd64 + arm64 legs each. amd64 on
  ubuntu-latest, arm64 on ubuntu-24.04-arm (native).
- New top-level core-image-merge and gpu-vulkan-image-merge jobs
  call image_merge.yml after core-image-build completes.
- image-pr.yml's image-build matrix: split the -vulkan-core entry.
  No merge job added on the PR side — image_build.yml's digest-push
  is push-only-event-gated, so a PR-side merge would have nothing
  to download.

After this commit, no workflow file references
linux/amd64,linux/arm64 in a single matrix slot.

* ci: retire bigger-runner from backend matrix (Phase 4)

Migrate the remaining 5 single-arch bigger-runner entries to
ubuntu-latest. Combined with the Phase 3 setup-build-disk /mnt
relocation (PR #9726), free-tier ubuntu-latest now has ~100 GB of
working space — enough for ROCm dev image (~16 GB), CUDA toolkit
(~5 GB), and the per-backend compile/install steps these entries do.

Backends migrated:
- -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-llama-cpp
- -gpu-nvidia-cuda-12-turboquant
- -gpu-rocm-hipblas-faster-whisper
- -gpu-rocm-hipblas-coqui
- -cpu-ik-llama-cpp

After this commit, .github/backend-matrix.yml has zero bigger-runner
references. The bigger-runner used in tests-vibevoice-cpp-grpc-
transcription (test-extra.yml) is a separate concern handled in a
follow-up.

flips back to arc-runner-set are revertable per-entry.

vLLM/sglang stacks on CUDA 12 and CUDA 13 are the heaviest
backends in the matrix — flash-attn intermediate layers can spike
disk usage during build. setup-build-disk's /mnt relocation gives
~100 GB working space which fits the documented peak.

Highest-risk batch of the arc-runner-set retirement; if any
backend fails to build on free tier, the per-entry runs-on flip
is the unit of revert.

Backends migrated: -gpu-nvidia-cuda-{12,13}-{vllm,vllm-omni,sglang}.

* ci: disable provenance on multi-registry digest pushes

Root-caused on master via PR #9727's pilot: when docker/build-push-action@v7
pushes a single build to TWO registries simultaneously with
push-by-digest=true, buildx generates a per-registry provenance
attestation manifest (because mode=max — the default for push:true —
includes the runner ID). That makes the resulting manifest-list digest
diverge across registries:

  arm64 -cpu-faster-whisper build:
    image manifest:        sha256:d3bdd34b... (identical, content-only)
    quay manifest list:    sha256:66b4cfc8... (with quay attestation)
    dockerhub manifest list: sha256:e0733c3b... (with dockerhub attestation)

steps.build.outputs.digest returns only one of the list digests
(empirically the dockerhub one). The merge job then asks
"quay.io/...@sha256:e0733c3b..." which doesn't exist on quay — that
list has digest 66b4cfc8 there. Result: imagetools create fails with
"not found" and the merge job fails (run 25581983094, job 75110021491).

Setting provenance: false drops the per-registry attestation; the
manifest-list digest becomes pure content, identical across both
registries, and steps.build.outputs.digest works on either lookup.

Applied to backend_build.yml and image_build.yml — both refactored
to use the same multi-registry digest-push pattern in the prior PRs.

cb68cd1cf4 ci: pilot per-arch split + manifest merge for faster-whisper and llama-cpp-quantization (#9727)
ci: pilot per-arch split for faster-whisper and llama-cpp-quantization

Convert two backends from QEMU-emulated multi-arch (linux/amd64,linux/arm64
on a single ubuntu-latest) to native per-arch + manifest-list merge:
- amd64 leg on ubuntu-latest
- arm64 leg on ubuntu-24.04-arm (native, ~5-10x faster than emulated)
- merge job assembles both digests under the final tag via
  docker buildx imagetools create

Backends piloted:
- -cpu-faster-whisper (small Python, fast baseline)
- -cpu-llama-cpp-quantization (heavier compile path, stress test)

Infrastructure changes that the rest of Phase 2 (Tasks 2.5+) will reuse:
- .github/backend-matrix.yml entries gain a `platform-tag` field
  ('amd64'/'arm64') for matrix entries that participate in the split.
  Other entries omit it; backend_build.yml already defaults missing
  values to '' (empty cache key suffix preserved as cache<suffix>-).
- backend.yml + backend_pr.yml forward `platform-tag` from matrix to
  the reusable backend_build.yml.
- scripts/changed-backends.js groups filtered entries by tag-suffix
  and emits a `merge-matrix` (plus `has-merges`) for groups of size>=2.
  Singletons aren't merged.
- backend.yml + backend_pr.yml gain a `backend-merge-jobs` job that
  consumes merge-matrix and calls backend_merge.yml after backend-jobs.
  PR variant is also event-gated so the no-op-on-PR merge job doesn't
  even start.

The other 34 multi-arch entries are unchanged in this PR -- Task 2.5
fans out the same shape to them once the pilot is observed green.

* ci: extract free-disk-space composite action

Consolidate the apt-clean + dotnet/android/ghc/boost removal blocks from
backend_build.yml, image_build.yml, and test.yml into a single composite
action. The three callers had slightly different inline blocks; the
composite uses the more aggressive backend_build/image_build variant for
all three callers — test.yml jobs now also purge snapd, edge/firefox/
powershell/r-base-core, and sweep /opt/ghc + /usr/local/share/boost +
$AGENT_TOOLSDIRECTORY. Idempotent and skipped on self-hosted runners.

In test.yml, actions/checkout now runs before the composite action call
because the composite lives at ./.github/actions/free-disk-space and
requires a checked-out repo. The original ordering relied on
jlumbroso/free-disk-space@main being a remote action; this is the
minimum-invasive change to support a local composite.

* ci: path-filter backend.yml master push

Run scripts/changed-backends.js on master pushes too (not just PRs) so
unrelated commits don't rebuild all ~210 backend container images. Tag
pushes still build the full matrix via FORCE_ALL.

Push events use the GitHub Compare API to diff event.before..event.after.
Edge cases (first push with zero base, API truncation beyond 300 files,
missing fields, network failure) fall back to "run everything" — better
safe than silently miss a backend.

The matrix literal moves from .github/workflows/backend.yml into a new
data-only file at .github/backend-matrix.yml (outside workflows/ so
actionlint doesn't try to parse it as a workflow). Both backend.yml and
backend_pr.yml now consume the dynamic matrix output uniformly via
fromJson(needs.generate-matrix.outputs.matrix); the script reads the
matrix from the new location.

* ci: scope backend cache per arch, push by digest

Prepare backend_build.yml for the multi-arch split. The reusable
workflow now accepts a `platform-tag` input ("amd64" / "arm64") that
scopes the registry cache to cache<suffix>-<platform-tag> and (on push
events) pushes the resulting image by canonical digest only. Digests
are uploaded as artifacts named digests<suffix>-<platform-tag> for the
merge job (Task 2.2) to consume.

`platform-tag` is optional with empty default during the migration —
existing callers continue to work unchanged (their cache key just
becomes `cache<suffix>-`, an orphaned but valid key). Tasks 2.3+ will
update callers to pass an explicit "amd64" / "arm64" value. Phase 6
flips the input to required: true once every caller is wired.

PR builds keep their existing tag-based push to ci-tests but pick up
the per-arch cache key. Multi-arch PR builds remain emulated in this
commit; they migrate when the matrix entries split (Tasks 2.3+).

* ci: add backend_merge.yml reusable workflow

Joins per-arch digest artifacts (uploaded by backend_build.yml when
called with platform-tag) into a single tagged multi-arch manifest list
via `docker buildx imagetools create`. Called once per backend by
backend.yml after both per-arch build jobs succeed.

The workflow generates final tags identically to the previous monolithic
build job (same docker/metadata-action invocation), so consumers of
quay.io/go-skynet/local-ai-backends and localai/localai-backends see no
tag-shape change. Two imagetools calls (one per registry) reference the
same per-arch digests under different image names.

Not yet wired into backend.yml — Tasks 2.3+ rewrite individual matrix
entries to expand into per-arch + merge jobs that call this workflow.

* ci: relocate Docker data-root to /mnt on hosted runners

GHA hosted ubuntu-latest runners ship a ~75 GB /mnt drive that's unused
by default. Stopping Docker, rsync'ing /var/lib/docker to /mnt, and
restarting with data-root pointing there yields ~100 GB of working
space (combined with the apt-clean from Task 1.1) — enough for ROCm
dev image + vLLM torch install + flash-attn intermediate layers.

This is the structural change that lets Phases 4 and 5 of the migration
plan move the bigger-runner and arc-runner-set jobs onto ubuntu-latest.

The composite action is no-op on self-hosted runners (where /mnt isn't
expected) and on non-X64 runners (Task 3.2 verifies the arm64 hosted
pool's /mnt shape separately before enabling). Wired into both
backend_build.yml and image_build.yml between free-disk-space and the
first Docker operation.

* ci: weekly full-matrix rebuild via cron

Path-filtering backend.yml master push (the previous commit's main
optimization) skips backends whose source didn't change. That broke
the DEPS_REFRESH cache-buster's coverage: the build-arg keyed on
%Y-W%V busts the install layer's cache on a new ISO week, but only
when the build actually runs. Untouched Python backends (torch,
transformers, vllm with no version pin) would otherwise ship stale
wheels indefinitely.

Add a Sunday 06:00 UTC cron that fires the full matrix. Schedule
events have no event.ref / event.before, so the script's changedFiles
== null fallback (scripts/changed-backends.js) emits the full matrix
automatically — no script change needed.

C++/Go backends with pinned deps cache-hit and complete fast, so the
weekly cost is dominated by Python re-resolves which is exactly what
we want.

workflow_dispatch added so a maintainer can trigger an ad-hoc
full-matrix rebuild without faking a tag push.
