d77a9137d8 feat(llama-cpp): bump to MTP-merge SHA and automatically set MTP defaults (#9852)
* feat(llama-cpp): bump to MTP-merge SHA and document draft-mtp spec type

Update LLAMA_VERSION to 0253fb21 (post ggml-org/llama.cpp#22673 merge,
2026-05-16) to pick up Multi-Token Prediction support.

No grpc-server.cpp changes are required: the existing `spec_type` option
delegates to upstream's `common_speculative_types_from_names()`, which
already accepts the new `draft-mtp` name. The `n_rs_seq` cparam needed
by MTP is auto-derived inside `common_context_params_to_llama` from
`params.speculative.need_n_rs_seq()`, and when no `draft_model` is set
the upstream server builds the MTP context off the target model itself.

Docs: extend the speculative-decoding section of the model-configuration
guide with the new type, both load paths (MTP head embedded in the main
GGUF vs. separate `mtp-*.gguf` sibling), the PR's recommended
`spec_n_max:2-3`, and the chained `draft-mtp,ngram-mod` recipe. Also
notes that the upstream `-hf` auto-discovery of `mtp-*.gguf` siblings is
not wired through LocalAI's gRPC layer.

Agent guide: short note explaining that new upstream spec types are
picked up automatically and that MTP needs no gRPC plumbing.

* feat(llama-cpp): auto-detect MTP heads and enable draft-mtp on import + load

Detect upstream's `<arch>.nextn_predict_layers` GGUF metadata key (set by
`convert_hf_to_gguf.py` for Qwen3.5/3.6 family models and similar) and,
when present and the user has not configured a `spec_type` explicitly,
auto-append the upstream-recommended speculative-decoding tuple:

  - spec_type:draft-mtp
  - spec_n_max:6
  - spec_p_min:0.75

The 0.75 p_min is pinned defensively because upstream marks the current
default with a "change to 0.0f" TODO; locking it here keeps acceptance
thresholds stable across future llama.cpp bumps.

Detection runs in two places:

  - The model importer (`POST /models/import-uri`, the `/import-model`
    UI) range-fetches the GGUF header for HuggingFace / direct-URL
    imports via `gguf.ParseGGUFFileRemote`, with a 30s timeout and
    non-fatal error handling. OCI/Ollama URIs are skipped because the
    artifact is not directly streamable; the load-time hook covers them
    once the file is on disk.
  - The llama-cpp load-time hook (`guessGGUFFromFile`) reads the local
    header on every model start and appends the same options if
    `spec_type` is not already set.

Both paths share `ApplyMTPDefaults` and respect an explicit user-set
`spec_type:` / `speculative_type:` so YAML overrides win. Ginkgo
specs cover the append, preserve-user-choice, legacy alias, and nil
safety paths.

* fix(importer): resolve huggingface:// URIs before MTP header probe

`gguf.ParseGGUFFileRemote` only speaks HTTP(S), but the importer was
handing it the raw `huggingface://...` URI directly (and similarly for
any other custom downloader scheme). Live-test against
`huggingface://ggml-org/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-Q8_0.gguf`
exposed this: the probe failed with `unsupported protocol scheme
"huggingface"`, was caught by the non-fatal error path, and the MTP
options were silently never applied to the generated YAML.

Route every candidate URI through `downloader.URI.ResolveURL()` and
require the resolved form to be HTTP(S). After the fix the probe
successfully reads `<arch>.nextn_predict_layers=1` from the real HF
GGUF and the emitted ConfigFile carries spec_type:draft-mtp,
spec_n_max:6, spec_p_min:0.75 as intended.

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).

* 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.

d892e4af80 feat: add ds4 backend (DeepSeek V4 Flash) with tool calls, thinking, KV cache (#9758)
* 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.

* test(e2e-backends): validate BACKEND_BINARY basename + log actual source

Two follow-ups from the cbcf5148 code review:

- BACKEND_BINARY now requires a path whose basename is `run.sh`. Without
  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=...`.

literal DSML strings rendered by ds4_server.c's prompt template

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
producing byte 0xCD, eating the 'D'. The markers were never actually matching
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>).

LoadModel reads 'kv_cache_dir' from ModelOptions.Options[], passes it to

new state after generation. ds4_session_sync handles the live-cache

* fix(ci): use ubuntu:24.04 base for ds4 cuda13 matrix entries

The initial Task 22 matrix landing used base-image: 'nvidia/cuda:13.0.0-devel-ubuntu24.04'
which clashes with install-base-deps.sh's cuda-keyring step:

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

The canonical pattern (llama-cpp, ik-llama-cpp, turboquant) uses plain
'ubuntu:24.04' + 'skip-drivers: false' so install-base-deps installs CUDA
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.

* feat(gallery): add sha256 to deepseek-v4-flash-q2 entry

Per HF LFS metadata for antirez/deepseek-v4-gguf:
  size: 86720111200 bytes (~80.76 GiB)
  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.

8452068f43 feat(importers): whisper.cpp HF repos pick a quant + nest under whisper/models (#9630)
The WhisperImporter's Import() switch ordered LooksLikeURL ahead of the
HuggingFace branch, so any https://huggingface.co/<owner>/<repo> URI
(e.g. LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-it-yodas-only-ggml) hijacked the URL
path. FilenameFromUrl returned the repo slug, the gallery entry pointed
at the HTML repo page, the SHA256 was empty, and the HF file listing
was effectively dead code for HTTPS imports. The HF branch only fired
for huggingface://owner/repo and hf://owner/repo references.

Gate the URL case on a "ggml-*.bin" basename signal — mirroring how
the llama-cpp importer gates on ".gguf" — so direct file URLs still
take the URL path while HF repo URLs fall through to the HF branch.
There the file listing is actually consulted: every ggml-*.bin entry
is collected and one is picked by the new preferences.quantizations
preference (default q5_0; comma-separated for fallback ordering).

Pin the chosen file under whisper/models/<name>/<file> so a single
repo can ship q4_0/q5_0/q8_0 side-by-side without colliding on disk,
matching the llama-cpp/models/<name>/ layout. The fallback when no
preference matches is the last available ggml file, mirroring
llama-cpp's pickPreferredGroup behaviour.

Tests: replace the previous probe spec with positive assertions
against LocalAI-io/whisper-large-v3-it-yodas-only-ggml (default →
ggml-model-q5_0.bin, quantizations=q4_0 → ggml-model-q4_0.bin) plus
two offline specs that build a fake hfapi.ModelDetails to cover the
fallback rule and non-ggml filtering without touching the network.

c1f923b2bc fix(importer): emit all shards for multi-part GGUF models (#9513)
The llama-cpp HuggingFace importer iterated files one at a time and
kept overwriting `lastGGUFFile`, so sharded repos such as
`unsloth/Kimi-K2.6-GGUF` (14 `Q8_K_XL` parts) produced a gallery entry
pointing only at the final shard — useless to llama.cpp's split loader,
which needs shard 1 to discover the set.

Group shards up front via new helpers in `pkg/huggingface-api`
(`SplitShardSuffix`, `ShardGroup`, `GroupShards`). The llama-cpp
importer now picks a group (preferred quant, then last-group fallback)
and emits every shard, with `Model:` pointing at shard 1.
`FindPreferredModelFile` returns shard 1 of the first matching group so
the gallery agent's preview stays coherent for sharded repos.

Adds unit coverage for the HuggingFace branch of the importer (which
had none), plus shard-detection tests in the hfapi package.

- core/gallery/importers/helpers_test.go: new table-driven coverage for
  HasFile, HasExtension, HasONNX, HasONNXConfigPair, HasGGMLFile.
- core/gallery/importers/importers_test.go: assert ErrAmbiguousImport
  sentinel exists and round-trips through errors.Is.
- core/gallery/importers/local_test.go: extend with detection cases for
  ggml-*.bin (whisper), silero_vad.onnx (silero-vad), and the piper
  .onnx + .onnx.json pair.
- core/http/endpoints/localai/import_model_test.go: assert
  ImportModelURIEndpoint returns HTTP 400 with a structured
  {error, detail, hint} body when ErrAmbiguousImport surfaces.

* feat(gallery/importers): Batch 0 foundation — helpers, sentinel, local detection

Implements the Batch 0 primitives that subsequent importer batches build on:

- pkg/huggingface-api: ModelDetails gains PipelineTag and LibraryName.
  GetModelDetails now layers a best-effort GET /api/models/{repo} fetch
  on top of ListFiles — a metadata outage leaves the fields empty but
  still returns full file details. Uses a dedicated response struct
  because the single-model endpoint uses snake_case keys while the list
  endpoint historically returned camelCase.

- core/gallery/importers/helpers.go: generic HasFile, HasExtension,
  HasONNX, HasONNXConfigPair, HasGGMLFile helpers working on
  []hfapi.ModelFile so per-backend importers can detect artefact
  patterns without duplicating string wrangling.

- core/gallery/importers/importers.go: adds the ErrAmbiguousImport
  sentinel. DiscoverModelConfig now returns it (wrapped with
  fmt.Errorf("%w: ...")) when no importer matched AND the HF
  pipeline_tag falls in a whitelist of narrow modalities (ASR, TTS,
  sentence-similarity, text-classification, object-detection). The
  whitelist is intentionally narrow — unknown tags keep the previous
  "no importer matched" behaviour to avoid blocking rare repos.

- core/gallery/importers/local.go: three new local-path detections,
  inserted before the existing merged-transformers branch:
    * ggml-*.bin → whisper
    * silero*.onnx → silero-vad
    * *.onnx + *.onnx.json pair → piper

- core/http/endpoints/localai/import_model.go: ImportModelURIEndpoint
  surfaces ErrAmbiguousImport as HTTP 400 with
  {error, detail, hint} JSON, preserving existing behaviour for
  unrelated errors.

* feat(gallery): add /backends/known endpoint for importer-aware backend list

Extend the Importer interface with Name/Modality/AutoDetects so the
import system can self-describe its registry, and introduce the
AdditionalBackendsProvider interface so importers can advertise drop-in
replacements (llama-cpp advertises ik-llama-cpp and turboquant).

Expose the new GET /backends/known endpoint that merges:

- the importer registry (auto-detect supported),
- drop-in replacements hosted by importers (preference-only),
- a curated knownPrefOnlyBackends slice for backends with no dedicated
  importer (sglang, tinygrad, trl, mlx-vlm, whisperx, kokoros, Qwen TTS
  variants, sam3-cpp) — kept at the top of backend.go so contributors
  adding a new pref-only backend have one obvious place to edit,
- backends installed on disk but unknown to the importer (marked
  AutoDetect=false, empty Modality).

The endpoint deliberately does NOT filter by gallery membership or host
capability (unlike /backends/available): LocalAI may auto-install a
backend that is not yet present, so the import form dropdown must show
everything the importer knows about.

Response is deduplicated (importer wins over pref-only) and sorted by
Modality+Name for deterministic output.

Registered in core/http/routes/localai.go next to /backends/available
under the same admin middleware.

* feat(ui): source import form backend dropdown from /backends/known

Replace the hard-coded BACKENDS constant in ImportModel.jsx with a
live fetch of /backends/known on mount. Users now see every backend
the importer layer knows about (including preference-only entries)
grouped by modality, not a stale subset.

Changes:

- config.js: add backendsKnown endpoint constant next to
  backendsAvailable.
- api.js: add backendsApi.listKnown() wrapper.
- ImportModel.jsx: remove BACKENDS constant, fetch the list via
  useEffect, and derive grouped options via buildBackendOptions.
  Preference-only entries render with a " (preference-only)" suffix.
  Loading state disables the dropdown with a "Loading backends…"
  placeholder; on fetch failure the form falls back to auto-detect
  only and surfaces a non-blocking toast.
- SearchableSelect.jsx: accept items flagged isHeader=true and render
  them as non-selectable section dividers. Keyboard navigation skips
  headers and search queries hide them so filtered output stays
  relevant.

Vitest is not set up in this project (devDependencies ship Playwright
only). Per the brief's guard-rail, no frontend test framework is
introduced; coverage is provided by the Go handler tests that assert
the /backends/known contract consumed by the React form.

model.bin + config.json + ASR pipeline), the preferences.backend=
faster-whisper override for arbitrary URIs, and the Importer
interface metadata.

* feat(gallery/importers): add faster-whisper importer

Recognises CTranslate2-packaged whisper checkpoints distributed for
the faster-whisper runtime: model.bin + config.json + ASR
pipeline_tag, narrowed to Systran-owned repos or repo names
containing "faster-whisper" to avoid falsely claiming vanilla
OpenAI whisper HF repos. preferences.backend=faster-whisper
overrides detection. Registered before llama-cpp and transformers
so the narrow signal wins before tokenizer.json routes the repo to
the generic transformers importer.

* test(gallery/importers): add failing tests for qwen-asr importer

Asserts detection on Qwen/Qwen3-ASR-1.7B via owner + ASR substring
in the repo name, the preferences.backend=qwen-asr override for
arbitrary URIs, and the Importer interface metadata.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(gallery/importers): add qwen-asr importer

Matches Qwen-owned HF repos whose name contains "ASR"
(case-insensitive), routing them to the qwen-asr backend rather
than the generic transformers/vllm path. The substring check scans
the repo portion only so the owner field cannot leak a false match.
preferences.backend=qwen-asr forces detection. Registered before
llama-cpp and transformers so the narrow owner+name signal wins.

* test(gallery/importers): ASR ambiguity surfaces ErrAmbiguousImport

Locks in the behaviour added in Batch 0: an HF repo whose pipeline_tag
marks it as automatic-speech-recognition but whose artefacts match no
ASR importer (and no generic importer) must fail with
ErrAmbiguousImport so callers know to pass preferences.backend rather
than silently guess. pyannote/voice-activity-detection is the fixture
— its file list is only config.yaml + README, leaving every importer's
artefact check negative.

back to URI parsing when pkg/huggingface-api's recursive tree listing
errors on repos with nested subdirectories (suno/bark ships a
speaker_embeddings/v2 subtree that trips a pre-existing path-doubling

* test(gallery/importers): TTS ambiguity surfaces ErrAmbiguousImport

Adds a Ginkgo spec that imports nari-labs/Dia-1.6B — a real HF repo
carrying pipeline_tag="text-to-speech" whose artefacts (*.pth, one
safetensors shard, preprocessor_config.json, config.json) match none of
the Batch-2 TTS importers nor the generic text/image importers — and
asserts DiscoverModelConfig wraps ErrAmbiguousImport via errors.Is.

Also pivots the endpoint-level ambiguity fixture from hexgrad/Kokoro-82M
to nari-labs/Dia-1.6B. Batch 2 added a dedicated kokoro importer that
now claims the original fixture; Dia remains genuinely unclaimed and
so exercises the same ambiguity code path at the HTTP layer.

Adds text-to-image to ambiguousModalities whitelist and covers the
h94/IP-Adapter-FaceID case — pipeline_tag=text-to-image but ships only
.bin/.safetensors so diffusers, stablediffusion-ggml, llama-cpp,
transformers, vllm, mlx, and ace-step all miss. DiscoverModelConfig now

"no importer matched" error.

* test(gallery/importers): add failing tests for vllm-omni importer

Introduces the test surface for the forthcoming VLLMOmniImporter:
detection via preferences.backend, Qwen owner + Omni repo token,
URI-only fallback, negative cases (plain Qwen, random OmniX repo), and
Import() emitting backend: vllm-omni with chat + multimodal usecases.

Includes a registration-order assertion via DiscoverModelConfig to pin
the requirement that vllm-omni wins over vllm for Qwen Omni repos
(tokenizer files are usually present too).

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(gallery/importers): add vllm-omni importer

Adds VLLMOmniImporter for Qwen Omni-style multimodal checkpoints
(Qwen3-Omni, Qwen2.5-Omni, …). Detection is narrow: HF owner "Qwen"
combined with "omni" in the repo name, or a repo name matching the
-Omni-/Omni- naming pattern. preferences.backend="vllm-omni" always
wins; HFOwnerRepoFromURI provides a URI-only fallback for the hfapi
recursion-bug edge case.

Emitted YAML sets backend: vllm-omni and known_usecases: [chat,
multimodal], matching the gallery/index.yaml vllm-omni entries. The
importer is registered ahead of VLLMImporter so Qwen Omni repos —
which also carry tokenizer files — route to vllm-omni rather than the
plain vllm backend.

* test(gallery/importers): add failing tests for llama-cpp drop-in preferences

Pins the expected drop-in replacement behaviour: preferences.backend
of ik-llama-cpp or turboquant must swap the emitted YAML backend
field while keeping the llama-cpp file layout identical. Also covers
the unknown-backend case (must stay llama-cpp) and re-asserts
AdditionalBackends() returns the two curated entries with non-empty
descriptions.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(gallery/importers): llama-cpp honours ik-llama-cpp and turboquant drop-in preferences

preferences.backend set to ik-llama-cpp or turboquant now swaps the
emitted YAML backend field while leaving the file layout, model path,
mmproj handling and everything else in the llama-cpp Import pipeline
untouched. Unknown values are ignored and fall back to backend:
llama-cpp so arbitrary input can't leak into the config.

Aligns the AdditionalBackends() descriptions with the user-facing
naming conventions surfaced via /backends/known. No changes to the
pref-only curated list in endpoints/localai/backend.go: the two
drop-in names have always lived on the importer side via
AdditionalBackends.

canonical file entry when present so the weights download on import.

Registered before the generic importers so the unique-filename signal
takes precedence over any downstream tokenizer-based matcher.

substring match (BAAI/bge-reranker, Alibaba-NLP/gte-reranker), URI
fallback, and the full-discovery ordering check that a BAAI reranker
repo must route to the rerankers importer rather than transformers.

* feat(gallery/importers): add rerankers importer

Recognise reranker repositories — cross-encoder owner or any repo whose

with reranking: true and the rerank known_usecase.

Registered ahead of sentencetransformers and transformers so reranker
repos that happen to ship tokenizer.json or modules.json still route
here.

full-discovery ordering check that ensures a sentence-transformers HF
URI routes here rather than transformers.

* test(gallery/importers): surface ErrAmbiguousImport on sentence-similarity misses

Add an ambiguity fixture covering the embeddings/rerankers modality.
Qdrant/bm25 carries pipeline_tag=sentence-similarity but ships only
config.json + stopword .txt files — none of the Batch 5 importers
(silero-vad, rerankers, sentencetransformers, rfdetr) or the generic
vllm/transformers/llama-cpp/mlx/diffusers importers match. Because the
modality is in the ambiguous whitelist, DiscoverModelConfig must
surface ErrAmbiguousImport.

* test(localai/backend): red tests for KnownBackend.Installed flag

Extend the /backends/known suite with three failing cases that pin down
the forthcoming Installed field: JSON field presence on every entry,
flipping to true when an importer-registered backend is also present on
disk (and staying false for non-installed pref-only entries), and
surfacing system-only backends with empty modality and AutoDetect=false.

A small writeFakeSystemBackend helper plants a run.sh under the backends
dir so gallery.ListSystemBackends recognises the fixture.

* feat(schema,localai/backend): add Installed flag to KnownBackend

Add an Installed bool to schema.KnownBackend and populate it from the
/backends/known handler so the React import form can warn users that
picking a not-yet-installed backend will trigger an automatic download
on submit.

Computation: after merging the importer registry, additional backends
provider entries and the curated pref-only slice, the handler walks
gallery.ListSystemBackends(systemState) and either flips the existing
map entry's Installed flag to true (preserving modality / autodetect /
description metadata) or inserts a bare {Installed:true} entry for
system-only backends the importer layer doesn't know about.

* test(localai/import_model): structured ambiguous-import response

Add red tests covering the extended ambiguity shape the React import
form needs:

- ImportModelURIEndpoint must return an HTTP 400 body that exposes the
  detected `modality` (normalised to the importer modality key, e.g.
  "tts" for pipeline_tag=text-to-speech) and a list of `candidates`
  (backend names filtered by modality, excluding text-LLM backends).
- The importers package must surface a typed AmbiguousImportError so
  HTTP consumers can read Modality + Candidates without parsing the
  error string. errors.Is against the existing sentinel keeps working.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(localai/import_model): structured ambiguity response with modality + candidates

DiscoverModelConfig now returns a typed AmbiguousImportError that
carries the importer modality key, candidate backend names, the
original URI, and the raw HF pipeline_tag. Its Is() preserves
errors.Is(err, ErrAmbiguousImport) for legacy callers.

The importer modality is pre-mapped from the HF pipeline_tag
(automatic-speech-recognition → asr, text-to-speech → tts, etc) via
PipelineTagToModality — surfaced as an exported helper so downstream
consumers can avoid duplicating the table. CandidatesForModality
filters the default importer registry plus AdditionalBackendsProvider
drop-ins by modality, sorts deterministically, and is the single
source of truth used by ImportModelURIEndpoint.

ImportModelURIEndpoint now returns HTTP 400 with
  { error, detail, modality, candidates, hint }
when ambiguity fires, letting the React form render a modality-scoped
picker inline instead of a generic toast.

* test(ui/import): manual pick badge + tooltip

Red Playwright coverage for the preference-only → manual pick rename:

- The Backend dropdown renders a "manual pick" badge on every option
  whose KnownBackend.auto_detect is false.
- The badge carries a title attribute with hover-tooltip copy that
  explains auto-detect won't route to this backend.
- Auto-detectable backends must NOT carry the badge.
- The legacy " (preference-only)" suffix is gone from every label.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* ui(import): replace preference-only suffix with manual pick badge

SearchableSelect option rows now support an optional badge field — a
muted pill rendered to the right of the label with an optional title
attribute for native hover tooltips. Plain text so screen readers read
it alongside the option name.

buildBackendOptions in ImportModel stops appending " (preference-only)"
to the label and instead sets badge="manual pick" plus a descriptive
tooltip on every option whose auto_detect is false. The Backend help
text explains what "manual pick" means so users aren't left wondering
about the badge.

* test(ui/import): inline ambiguity picker

Red Playwright coverage for Batch A2 — when the server returns a 400
ambiguity body, the form must render an inline alert instead of a
toast, expose one clickable chip per candidate backend, and support
both auto-resubmit on pick and silent dismiss.

- Mocks /api/models/import-uri with the structured ambiguity body
  (error, detail, modality, candidates, hint).
- On first click of Import, the alert is visible, carries
  modality-specific copy, and shows a chip per candidate.
- Clicking a chip clears the alert, sets the Backend dropdown, and
  triggers a second POST to /api/models/import-uri.
- Dismissing the alert leaves the Backend dropdown on Auto-detect —
  no implicit backend assignment.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(ui/import): inline ambiguity alert with candidate chips

Adds AmbiguityAlert — a soft, info-coloured card rendered above the URI
input when the server returns a structured 400 with { modality,
candidates }. Message is modality-aware (tts/asr/embeddings/image/
reranker/detection get purpose-written copy, everything else falls back
to a generic template). Each candidate is a clickable chip that shows a
download icon when /backends/known marks the backend as not yet
installed, so users aren't surprised by an implicit install.

ImportModel wires the alert to handleSimpleImport's error path:
- api.handleResponse now attaches { status, body } to the thrown Error
  so pages can pattern-match on structured responses instead of string
  error messages.
- handleSimpleImport detects `status === 400 && body.error === 'ambiguous
  import'` and flips into the inline-picker mode instead of toasting.
- Clicking a chip sets prefs.backend and auto-resubmits (passing the
  picked backend as an override so setPrefs's asynchrony doesn't leak
  a stale value).
- Dismissing clears the alert; changing the URI or the backend also
  clears it so a stale alert never sticks around.

Test fixtures mock GET /backends/known + POST /models/import-uri so the
Playwright specs don't depend on real network reachability.

* test(ui/import): auto-install warning

Red Playwright coverage for Batch A3 — when the user picks a backend
whose KnownBackend.installed is false, the form must render a muted
inline note under the Backend dropdown warning that submitting will
download the backend first. Picking an installed backend or leaving
Auto-detect selected must keep the note hidden.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(ui/import): auto-install warning under backend dropdown

When the user picks a backend whose KnownBackend.installed is false,
render a muted inline note under the Backend dropdown's help text
warning that submitting will download the backend first. The note
lives inside the same form-group so it lines up with the existing
hint text; it's hidden when Auto-detect is selected (the selected
backend is unknowable at that point) or when the chosen backend is
already on disk.

* ui(import): drop redundant section header, adjust icons, rename HF shortcut

- Remove the "Import from URI" card-level <h2> — the page title already
  says "Import New Model" one row up, so the secondary header was
  duplicating information.
- Swap the fa-star on "Common Preferences" for fa-sliders (stars imply
  favourites/ratings; this is just a preferences block) and move the
  Custom Preferences fa-sliders-h to fa-plus-circle so the two blocks
  read as distinct rather than as two sliders.
- Rename the HF shortcut from "Search GGUF on HF" → "Browse models on
  HF" and drop the `search=gguf` filter on the linked URL. The import
  form now supports ~40 backends; hard-coding GGUF in the copy no
  longer matches the form's actual reach.
- Pure polish — no behaviour change, covered by the existing Batch A
  Playwright suite.

* test(ui/import): batch B — simple/power switch, options, tabs, dialog

Adds a failing Playwright suite covering the full Batch B surface ahead
of implementation:

- B1: SimplePowerSwitch segmented control renders, toggles, persists to
  localStorage across reloads.
- B2: Simple-mode Options disclosure is collapsed by default; expanding
  exposes only Backend, Model Name, Description (no quantizations,
  mmproj, model type, or custom prefs).
- B3: Power mode has Preferences and YAML tabs with a persistent
  selection across reloads; URI/name/description typed in Simple carry
  over to Power; YAML tab swaps the primary action to Create.
- B4: Switching Power -> Simple with a custom preference set triggers
  the 3-button confirmation dialog (Keep / Discard / Cancel) with the
  documented semantics.

Tests fail against master — implementation lands in the following
commits.

* feat(ui/import): add SimplePowerSwitch segmented control

Replaces the previous "Advanced Mode / Simple Mode" toggle button in the
page header with a two-segment control that flips between Simple and
Power. The control reuses the existing .segmented CSS shared with the
Sound page for visual consistency.

Mode state is persisted to localStorage under `import-form-mode` so
reloads land on the same view (default: simple). The boolean alias
`isAdvancedMode` is retained internally to minimise diff — subsequent
commits reshape the Simple and Power surfaces independently.

Closes B1 from the Batch B Playwright suite.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(ui/import): simple mode collapsible options, power tabs, switch dialog

Completes the Batch B surface in a single structural pass so Simple and
Power mode can evolve independently:

Simple mode
  - URI input + Ambiguity alert + Import button, plus a collapsible
    "Options" disclosure that exposes ONLY Backend, Model Name,
    Description. Quantizations / MMProj / Model Type / Diffusers fields
    / Custom Preferences are no longer rendered in Simple mode.

Power mode
  - In-page segmented "Preferences · YAML" tab strip. Active tab
    persists to localStorage under `import-form-power-tab`.
  - Preferences tab = the full existing preferences + custom prefs
    panel (no progressive disclosure yet — that's Batch D).
  - YAML tab = the existing CodeEditor. Primary button reads "Create"
    here, "Import Model" everywhere else.

Switch dialog
  - Power -> Simple with non-default prefs (advanced pref keys set,
    any custom-pref key non-empty, or YAML edited away from the
    template) opens a 3-button dialog: Keep & switch / Discard &
    switch / Cancel.
  - Keep preserves all state. Discard resets prefs + customPrefs + YAML
    to defaults. Cancel leaves the user in Power mode.

Page subtitle reflects the current surface (Simple, Power/Preferences,
Power/YAML). Estimate banner renders everywhere except Power/YAML.

Closes B2/B3/B4 from the Batch B Playwright suite.

* test(ui/import): expand Options disclosure in Batch A tests

Batch B hid the Backend dropdown behind a collapsible Options disclosure
in Simple mode. The Batch A tests that exercise the dropdown directly
(manual-pick badge, ambiguity chip sets the selected backend, auto-
install warning) now click the disclosure toggle before asserting on
dropdown contents. Test intent is unchanged.

* ui(import): strip decorative icons from field labels

The preference panel had 12 Font Awesome icons decorating field labels
(Backend, Model Name, Description, Quantizations, MMProj Quantizations,
Model Type, Pipeline Type, Scheduler Type, Enable Parameters, Embeddings,
CUDA, plus fa-link on Model URI). Every label screamed equally, flattening
the visual hierarchy.

Remove them. Keep icons where they carry meaning: page-level section
headers, URI format guide entries, primary buttons, the Simple-mode
Options disclosure, the ambiguity alert's fa-lightbulb, the auto-install
note's fa-download, and the Estimated-requirements banner's
fa-memory / fa-microchip / fa-download.

No new behaviour, no layout / spacing changes beyond removing the
orphaned icon margin. Playwright suite green.

can consume them, stay visible when the backend is unset, and preserve any
value the user already typed when toggled off and back on. Also pin the
shrunk Description textarea at rows=2.

actually consume it. Backend unset keeps everything visible. Hidden
fields' state is preserved (the JSX wrapper is guarded, not the
underlying prefs state) so users flipping backends back and forth don't
lose input.

Also shrink the Description textarea from rows=3 to rows=2 — it's
shared between Simple Options and Power Preferences so the change
applies to both.

* test(ui/import): enter-to-submit in Simple mode

Red test for Batch F3 — pressing Enter in the URI input must POST
/models/import-uri, and Enter in the Description textarea must insert
a newline without submitting the form.

* feat(ui/import): enter-to-submit in Simple mode

Wrap the Simple-mode URI input + ambiguity alert + Options disclosure
in a <form> whose onSubmit calls handleSimpleImport. Pressing Enter in
the URI input (or any Simple-mode text input) now submits the import
without having to move the mouse to the header button. The Description
textarea keeps its native behaviour — Enter inserts a newline.

A hidden submit button is included because the visible Import button
lives outside the form in the page header; some browsers only fire
implicit Enter-submit when the form contains a submit-capable element.

* ui(import,SearchableSelect,components): aria-hidden on decorative icons

Every Font Awesome icon in the import form is decorative — its meaning
is already conveyed by adjacent visible text. Adding aria-hidden="true"
prevents screen readers from announcing the unicode glyph point as
content. Covers ImportModel.jsx (all remaining <i> glyphs) and
SearchableSelect.jsx (the trigger chevron).

AmbiguityAlert and SimplePowerSwitch already set aria-hidden on their
icons when the components landed in Batches A and B — no change needed
there.

* ui(SearchableSelect): responsive dropdown maxHeight + hover focus guard

F2 — replace fixed pixel heights with min(pixel, vh) so the dropdown
and its inner scroll region don't overflow short viewports. Outer
container: 260px -> min(260px, 60vh); inner listbox: 200px ->
min(200px, 50vh). Tall viewports still get the original pixel caps.

F5 — short-circuit onMouseEnter when the hovered row is already the
focused row. Avoids queueing a setFocusIndex call (and a render) for
every mousemove inside the same item — the state would be identical.

* ui(import): aria-label on custom preference rows

The Key / Value inputs and trash button in each Custom Preferences row
previously relied on placeholder text alone. Placeholders are not
accessible names — they vanish on input and screen readers do not
announce them consistently. Add row-indexed aria-labels so assistive
tech can distinguish "Preference key for row 1" from "row 2", and give
the trash button an explicit "Remove this preference" label.

* test(ui/import): modality chip row

Red tests for Batch E — a horizontal modality chip row that filters the
Backend dropdown by modality. Covers visibility in Simple-mode Options
and Power/Preferences (and absence in Power/YAML), filter behaviour,
mismatched-backend clearing with toast, ambiguity-alert auto-selection,
and radiogroup keyboard navigation.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m] [Agent]

* feat(ui/import): add ModalityChips component + filter integration

Horizontal chip row (Any, Text, Speech, TTS, Image, Embeddings,
Rerankers, Detection, VAD) filters the Backend dropdown options to the
selected modality. Default is Any — no filter, current behaviour.

- New ModalityChips component (radiogroup pattern, roving tabindex,
  arrow-key navigation, Home/End).
- buildBackendOptions now accepts an optional modalityFilter so grouped
  output is narrowed before rendering.
- Chips render inside Simple-mode Options disclosure and Power >
  Preferences tab. Power > YAML stays unaffected.
- Switching the filter drops a mismatched backend selection and
  surfaces a toast so the auto-clear is visible.
- Ambiguity alerts auto-activate the matching chip so users see only
  relevant backends even if they dismiss the alert.

Tightens the Batch E tests' option-matching to the label <span> so the
"↵" keybind hint on the focused row doesn't break accessible-name
lookups.

* fix(ui/import): rename Power to Advanced + stop URI-formats toggle from submitting form

The "Supported URI Formats" disclosure button inside the Simple-mode form
lacked an explicit type attribute, so it defaulted to type="submit". Every
click triggered the form's onSubmit and surfaced the empty-URI validation
toast ("Please enter a model URI"). Marking it type="button" lets it
behave as a pure toggle.

While here, rename the user-visible "Power" label to "Advanced" in the
mode switch (button text + tooltip) and the Power-mode tab's aria-label,
matching the term users actually expect. The internal mode key stays
'power' so tests, localStorage, and data-testid selectors are untouched.

* fix(system): fall back to cpu when meta backend lacks default capability

Meta backends like vllm and sglang enumerate concrete variants for
nvidia/amd/intel/cpu but omit a default: catch-all entry. On a no-GPU
host the reported capability is "default", so the previous Capability()
returned "default" unconditionally on a miss — IsCompatibleWith then saw
no "default" key and filtered the meta out of AvailableBackends. The
import flow's auto-install step then failed with "no backend found with
name <meta>", contradicting the UI's promise that the backend would be
downloaded on demand.

Try the explicit "default" key first, then fall back to "cpu" before
giving up. vllm now resolves to cpu-vllm on CPU-only Linux without
touching the gallery YAML.

016da02845 feat: refactor shared helpers and enhance MLX backend functionality (#9335)
* refactor(backends): extract python_utils + add mlx_utils shared helpers

Move parse_options() and messages_to_dicts() out of vllm_utils.py into a
new framework-agnostic python_utils.py, and re-export them from vllm_utils
so existing vllm / vllm-omni imports keep working.

Add mlx_utils.py with split_reasoning() and parse_tool_calls() — ported
from mlx_vlm/server.py's process_tool_calls. These work with any
mlx-lm / mlx-vlm tool module (anything exposing tool_call_start,
tool_call_end, parse_tool_call). Used by the mlx and mlx-vlm backends in
later commits to emit structured ChatDelta.tool_calls without
reimplementing per-model parsing.

Shared smoke tests confirm:
- parse_options round-trips bool/int/float/string
- vllm_utils re-exports are identity-equal to python_utils originals
- mlx_utils parse_tool_calls handles <tool_call>...</tool_call> with a
  shim module and produces a correctly-indexed list with JSON arguments
- mlx_utils split_reasoning extracts <think> blocks and leaves clean
  content

* feat(mlx): wire native tool parsers + ChatDelta + token usage + logprobs

Bring the MLX backend up to the same structured-output contract as vLLM
and llama.cpp: emit Reply.chat_deltas so the OpenAI HTTP layer sees
tool_calls and reasoning_content, not just raw text.

Key insight: mlx_lm.load() returns a TokenizerWrapper that already auto-
detects the right tool parser from the model's chat template
(_infer_tool_parser in mlx_lm/tokenizer_utils.py). The wrapper exposes
has_tool_calling, has_thinking, tool_parser, tool_call_start,
tool_call_end, think_start, think_end — no user configuration needed,
unlike vLLM.

Changes in backend/python/mlx/backend.py:

- Imports: replace inline parse_options / messages_to_dicts with the
  shared helpers from python_utils. Pull split_reasoning / parse_tool_calls
  from the new mlx_utils shared module.
- LoadModel: log the auto-detected has_tool_calling / has_thinking /
  tool_parser_type for observability. Drop the local is_float / is_int
  duplicates.
- _prepare_prompt: run request.Messages through messages_to_dicts so
  tool_call_id / tool_calls / reasoning_content survive the conversion,
  and pass tools=json.loads(request.Tools) + enable_thinking=True (when
  request.Metadata says so) to apply_chat_template. Falls back on
  TypeError for tokenizers whose template doesn't accept those kwargs.
- _build_generation_params: return an additional (logits_params,
  stop_words) pair. Maps RepetitionPenalty / PresencePenalty /
  FrequencyPenalty to mlx_lm.sample_utils.make_logits_processors and
  threads StopPrompts through to post-decode truncation.
- New _tool_module_from_tokenizer / _finalize_output / _truncate_at_stop
  helpers. _finalize_output runs split_reasoning when has_thinking is
  true and parse_tool_calls (using a SimpleNamespace shim around the
  wrapper's tool_parser callable) when has_tool_calling is true, then
  extracts prompt_tokens, generation_tokens and (best-effort) logprobs
  from the last GenerationResponse chunk.
- Predict: use make_logits_processors, accumulate text + last_response,
  finalize into a structured Reply carrying chat_deltas,
  prompt_tokens, tokens, logprobs. Early-stops on user stop sequences.
- PredictStream: per-chunk Reply still carries raw message bytes for
  back-compat but now also emits chat_deltas=[ChatDelta(content=delta)].
  On loop exit, emit a terminal Reply with structured
  reasoning_content / tool_calls / token counts / logprobs — so the Go
  side sees tool calls without needing the regex fallback.
- TokenizeString RPC: uses the TokenizerWrapper's encode(); returns
  length + tokens or FAILED_PRECONDITION if the model isn't loaded.
- Free RPC: drops model / tokenizer / lru_cache, runs gc.collect(),
  calls mx.metal.clear_cache() when available, and best-effort clears
  torch.cuda as a belt-and-suspenders.

* feat(mlx-vlm): mirror MLX parity (tool parsers + ChatDelta + samplers)

Same treatment as the MLX backend: emit structured Reply.chat_deltas,
tool_calls, reasoning_content, token counts and logprobs, and extend
sampling parameter coverage beyond the temp/top_p pair the backend
used to handle.

- Imports: drop the inline is_float/is_int helpers, pull parse_options /
  messages_to_dicts from python_utils and split_reasoning /
  parse_tool_calls from mlx_utils. Also import make_sampler and
  make_logits_processors from mlx_lm.sample_utils — mlx-vlm re-uses them.
- LoadModel: use parse_options; call mlx_vlm.tool_parsers._infer_tool_parser
  / load_tool_module to auto-detect a tool module from the processor's
  chat_template. Stash think_start / think_end / has_thinking so later
  finalisation can split reasoning blocks without duck-typing on each
  call. Logs the detected parser type.
- _prepare_prompt: convert proto Messages via messages_to_dicts (so
  tool_call_id / tool_calls survive), pass tools=json.loads(request.Tools)
  and enable_thinking=True to apply_chat_template when present, fall
  back on TypeError for older mlx-vlm versions. Also handle the
  prompt-only + media and empty-prompt + media paths consistently.
- _build_generation_params: return (max_tokens, sampler_params,
  logits_params, stop_words). Maps repetition_penalty / presence_penalty /
  frequency_penalty and passes them through make_logits_processors.
- _finalize_output / _truncate_at_stop: common helper used by Predict
  and PredictStream to split reasoning, run parse_tool_calls against the
  auto-detected tool module, build ToolCallDelta list, and extract token
  counts + logprobs from the last GenerationResult.
- Predict / PredictStream: switch from mlx_vlm.generate to mlx_vlm.stream_generate
  in both paths, accumulate text + last_response, pass sampler and
  logits_processors through, emit content-only ChatDelta per streaming
  chunk followed by a terminal Reply carrying reasoning_content,
  tool_calls, prompt_tokens, tokens and logprobs. Non-streaming Predict
  returns the same structured Reply shape.
- New helper _collect_media extracted from the duplicated base64 image /
  audio decode loop.
- New TokenizeString RPC using the processor's tokenizer.encode and
  Free RPC that drops model/processor/config, runs gc + Metal cache
  clear + best-effort torch.cuda cache clear.

* feat(importer/mlx): auto-set tool_parser/reasoning_parser on import

Mirror what core/gallery/importers/vllm.go does: after applying the
shared inference defaults, look up the model URI in parser_defaults.json
and append matching tool_parser:/reasoning_parser: entries to Options.

The MLX backends auto-detect tool parsers from the chat template at
runtime so they don't actually consume these options — but surfacing
them in the generated YAML:
  - keeps the import experience consistent with vllm
  - gives users a single visible place to override
  - documents the intended parser for a given model family

* test(mlx): add helper unit tests + TokenizeString/Free + e2e make targets

- backend/python/mlx/test.py: add TestSharedHelpers with server-less
  unit tests for parse_options, messages_to_dicts, split_reasoning and
  parse_tool_calls (using a SimpleNamespace shim to fake a tool module
  without requiring a model). Plus test_tokenize_string and test_free
  RPC tests that load a tiny MLX-quantized Llama and exercise the new
  RPCs end-to-end.

- backend/python/mlx-vlm/test.py: same helper unit tests + cleanup of
  the duplicated import block at the top of the file.

- Makefile: register BACKEND_MLX and BACKEND_MLX_VLM (they were missing
  from the docker-build-target eval list — only mlx-distributed had a
  generated target before). Add test-extra-backend-mlx and
  test-extra-backend-mlx-vlm convenience targets that build the
  respective image and run tests/e2e-backends with the tools capability
  against mlx-community/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct-4bit. The MLX backend
  auto-detects the tool parser from the chat template so no
  BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS is needed (unlike vllm).

* fix(libbackend): don't pass --copies to venv unless PORTABLE_PYTHON=true

backend/python/common/libbackend.sh:ensureVenv() always invoked
'python -m venv --copies', but macOS system python (and some other
builds) refuses with:

    Error: This build of python cannot create venvs without using symlinks

--copies only matters when _makeVenvPortable later relocates the venv,
which only happens when PORTABLE_PYTHON=true. Make --copies conditional
on that flag and fall back to default (symlinked) venv otherwise.

Caught while bringing up the mlx backend on Apple Silicon — the same
build path is used by every Python backend with USE_PIP=true.

* fix(mlx): support mlx-lm 0.29.x tool calling + drop deprecated clear_cache

The released mlx-lm 0.29.x ships a much simpler tool-calling API than
HEAD: TokenizerWrapper detects the <tool_call>...</tool_call> markers
from the tokenizer vocab and exposes has_tool_calling /
tool_call_start / tool_call_end, but does NOT expose a tool_parser
callable on the wrapper and does NOT ship a mlx_lm.tool_parsers
subpackage at all (those only exist on main).

Caught while running the smoke test on Apple Silicon with the
released mlx-lm 0.29.1: tokenizer.tool_parser raised AttributeError
(falling through to the underlying HF tokenizer), so
_tool_module_from_tokenizer always returned None and tool calls slipped
through as raw <tool_call>...</tool_call> text in Reply.message instead
of being parsed into ChatDelta.tool_calls.

Fix: when has_tool_calling is True but tokenizer.tool_parser is missing,
default the parse_tool_call callable to json.loads(body.strip()) — that's
exactly what mlx_lm.tool_parsers.json_tools.parse_tool_call does on HEAD
and covers the only format 0.29 detects (<tool_call>JSON</tool_call>).
Future mlx-lm releases that ship more parsers will be picked up
automatically via the tokenizer.tool_parser attribute when present.

Also tighten the LoadModel logging — the old log line read
init_kwargs.get('tool_parser_type') which doesn't exist on 0.29 and
showed None even when has_tool_calling was True. Log the actual
tool_call_start / tool_call_end markers instead.

While here, switch Free()'s Metal cache clear from the deprecated
mx.metal.clear_cache to mx.clear_cache (mlx >= 0.30), with a
fallback for older releases. Mirrored to the mlx-vlm backend.

* feat(mlx-distributed): mirror MLX parity (tool calls + ChatDelta + sampler)

Same treatment as the mlx and mlx-vlm backends: emit Reply.chat_deltas
with structured tool_calls / reasoning_content / token counts /
logprobs, expand sampling parameter coverage beyond temp+top_p, and
add the missing TokenizeString and Free RPCs.

Notes specific to mlx-distributed:

- Rank 0 is the only rank that owns a sampler — workers participate in
  the pipeline-parallel forward pass via mx.distributed and don't
  re-implement sampling. So the new logits_params (repetition_penalty,
  presence_penalty, frequency_penalty) and stop_words apply on rank 0
  only; we don't need to extend coordinator.broadcast_generation_params,
  which still ships only max_tokens / temperature / top_p to workers
  (everything else is a rank-0 concern).
- Free() now broadcasts CMD_SHUTDOWN to workers when a coordinator is
  active, so they release the model on their end too. The constant is
  already defined and handled by the existing worker loop in
  backend.py:633 (CMD_SHUTDOWN = -1).
- Drop the locally-defined is_float / is_int / parse_options trio in
  favor of python_utils.parse_options, re-exported under the module
  name for back-compat with anything that imported it directly.
- _prepare_prompt: route through messages_to_dicts so tool_call_id /
  tool_calls / reasoning_content survive, pass tools=json.loads(
  request.Tools) and enable_thinking=True to apply_chat_template, fall
  back on TypeError for templates that don't accept those kwargs.
- New _tool_module_from_tokenizer (with the json.loads fallback for
  mlx-lm 0.29.x), _finalize_output, _truncate_at_stop helpers — same
  contract as the mlx backend.
- LoadModel logs the auto-detected has_tool_calling / has_thinking /
  tool_call_start / tool_call_end so users can see what the wrapper
  picked up for the loaded model.
- backend/python/mlx-distributed/test.py: add the same TestSharedHelpers
  unit tests (parse_options, messages_to_dicts, split_reasoning,
  parse_tool_calls) that exist for mlx and mlx-vlm.

d67623230f feat(vllm): parity with llama.cpp backend (#9328)
* fix(schema): serialize ToolCallID and Reasoning in Messages.ToProto

The ToProto conversion was dropping tool_call_id and reasoning_content
even though both proto and Go fields existed, breaking multi-turn tool
calling and reasoning passthrough to backends.

* refactor(config): introduce backend hook system and migrate llama-cpp defaults

Adds RegisterBackendHook/runBackendHooks so each backend can register
default-filling functions that run during ModelConfig.SetDefaults().

Migrates the existing GGUF guessing logic into hooks_llamacpp.go,
registered for both 'llama-cpp' and the empty backend (auto-detect).
Removes the old guesser.go shim.

* feat(config): add vLLM parser defaults hook and importer auto-detection

Introduces parser_defaults.json mapping model families to vLLM
tool_parser/reasoning_parser names, with longest-pattern-first matching.

The vllmDefaults hook auto-fills tool_parser and reasoning_parser
options at load time for known families, while the VLLMImporter writes
the same values into generated YAML so users can review and edit them.

Adds tests covering MatchParserDefaults, hook registration via
SetDefaults, and the user-override behavior.

* feat(vllm): wire native tool/reasoning parsers + chat deltas + logprobs

- Use vLLM's ToolParserManager/ReasoningParserManager to extract structured
  output (tool calls, reasoning content) instead of reimplementing parsing
- Convert proto Messages to dicts and pass tools to apply_chat_template
- Emit ChatDelta with content/reasoning_content/tool_calls in Reply
- Extract prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, and logprobs from output
- Replace boolean GuidedDecoding with proper GuidedDecodingParams from Grammar
- Add TokenizeString and Free RPC methods
- Fix missing `time` import used by load_video()

* feat(vllm): CPU support + shared utils + vllm-omni feature parity

- Split vllm install per acceleration: move generic `vllm` out of
  requirements-after.txt into per-profile after files (cublas12, hipblas,
  intel) and add CPU wheel URL for cpu-after.txt
- requirements-cpu.txt now pulls torch==2.7.0+cpu from PyTorch CPU index
- backend/index.yaml: register cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development variants
- New backend/python/common/vllm_utils.py: shared parse_options,
  messages_to_dicts, setup_parsers helpers (used by both vllm backends)
- vllm-omni: replace hardcoded chat template with tokenizer.apply_chat_template,
  wire native parsers via shared utils, emit ChatDelta with token counts,
  add TokenizeString and Free RPCs, detect CPU and set VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE
- Add test_cpu_inference.py: standalone script to validate CPU build with
  a small model (Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct)

* fix(vllm): CPU build compatibility with vllm 0.14.1

Validated end-to-end on CPU with Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct (LoadModel, Predict,
TokenizeString, Free all working).

- requirements-cpu-after.txt: pin vllm to 0.14.1+cpu (pre-built wheel from
  GitHub releases) for x86_64 and aarch64. vllm 0.14.1 is the newest CPU
  wheel whose torch dependency resolves against published PyTorch builds
  (torch==2.9.1+cpu). Later vllm CPU wheels currently require
  torch==2.10.0+cpu which is only available on the PyTorch test channel
  with incompatible torchvision.
- requirements-cpu.txt: bump torch to 2.9.1+cpu, add torchvision/torchaudio
  so uv resolves them consistently from the PyTorch CPU index.
- install.sh: add --index-strategy=unsafe-best-match for CPU builds so uv
  can mix the PyTorch index and PyPI for transitive deps (matches the
  existing intel profile behaviour).
- backend.py LoadModel: vllm >= 0.14 removed AsyncLLMEngine.get_model_config
  so the old code path errored out with AttributeError on model load.
  Switch to the new get_tokenizer()/tokenizer accessor with a fallback
  to building the tokenizer directly from request.Model.

* fix(vllm): tool parser constructor compat + e2e tool calling test

Concrete vLLM tool parsers override the abstract base's __init__ and
drop the tools kwarg (e.g. Hermes2ProToolParser only takes tokenizer).
Instantiating with tools= raised TypeError which was silently caught,
leaving chat_deltas.tool_calls empty.

Retry the constructor without the tools kwarg on TypeError — tools
aren't required by these parsers since extract_tool_calls finds tool
syntax in the raw model output directly.

Validated with Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct + hermes parser on CPU:
the backend correctly returns ToolCallDelta{name='get_weather',
arguments='{"location": "Paris, France"}'} in ChatDelta.

test_tool_calls.py is a standalone smoke test that spawns the gRPC
backend, sends a chat completion with tools, and asserts the response
contains a structured tool call.

* ci(backend): build cpu-vllm container image

Add the cpu-vllm variant to the backend container build matrix so the
image registered in backend/index.yaml (cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development)
is actually produced by CI.

Follows the same pattern as the other CPU python backends
(cpu-diffusers, cpu-chatterbox, etc.) with build-type='' and no CUDA.
backend_pr.yml auto-picks this up via its matrix filter from backend.yml.

* test(e2e-backends): add tools capability + HF model name support

Extends tests/e2e-backends to cover backends that:
- Resolve HuggingFace model ids natively (vllm, vllm-omni) instead of
  loading a local file: BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME is passed verbatim as
  ModelOptions.Model with no download/ModelFile.
- Parse tool calls into ChatDelta.tool_calls: new "tools" capability
  sends a Predict with a get_weather function definition and asserts
  the Reply contains a matching ToolCallDelta. Uses UseTokenizerTemplate
  with OpenAI-style Messages so the backend can wire tools into the
  model's chat template.
- Need backend-specific Options[]: BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS lets a test set
  e.g. "tool_parser:hermes,reasoning_parser:qwen3" at LoadModel time.

Adds make target test-extra-backend-vllm that:
- docker-build-vllm
- loads Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct
- runs health,load,predict,stream,tools with tool_parser:hermes

Drops backend/python/vllm/test_{cpu_inference,tool_calls}.py — those
standalone scripts were scaffolding used while bringing up the Python
backend; the e2e-backends harness now covers the same ground uniformly
alongside llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp.

* ci(test-extra): run vllm e2e tests on CPU

Adds tests-vllm-grpc to the test-extra workflow, mirroring the
llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp gRPC jobs. Triggers when files under
backend/python/vllm/ change (or on run-all), builds the local-ai
vllm container image, and runs the tests/e2e-backends harness with
BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME=Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct, tool_parser:hermes,
and the tools capability enabled.

Uses ubuntu-latest (no GPU) — vllm runs on CPU via the cpu-vllm
wheel we pinned in requirements-cpu-after.txt. Frees disk space
before the build since the docker image + torch + vllm wheel is
sizeable.

* fix(vllm): build from source on CI to avoid SIGILL on prebuilt wheel

The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel from GitHub releases is compiled with
SIMD instructions (AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 or AMX-BF16) that not every CPU
supports. GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest runners SIGILL when vllm spawns
the model_executor.models.registry subprocess for introspection, so
LoadModel never reaches the actual inference path.

- install.sh: when FROM_SOURCE=true on a CPU build, temporarily hide
  requirements-cpu-after.txt so installRequirements installs the base
  deps + torch CPU without pulling the prebuilt wheel, then clone vllm
  and compile it with VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE=cpu. The resulting binaries
  target the host's actual CPU.
- backend/Dockerfile.python: accept a FROM_SOURCE build-arg and expose
  it as an ENV so install.sh sees it during `make`.
- Makefile docker-build-backend: forward FROM_SOURCE as --build-arg
  when set, so backends that need source builds can opt in.
- Makefile test-extra-backend-vllm: call docker-build-vllm via a
  recursive $(MAKE) invocation so FROM_SOURCE flows through.
- .github/workflows/test-extra.yml: set FROM_SOURCE=true on the
  tests-vllm-grpc job. Slower but reliable — the prebuilt wheel only
  works on hosts that share the build-time SIMD baseline.

Answers 'did you test locally?': yes, end-to-end on my local machine
with the prebuilt wheel (CPU supports AVX-512 VNNI). The CI runner CPU
gap was not covered locally — this commit plugs that gap.

* ci(vllm): use bigger-runner instead of source build

The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel requires SIMD instructions (AVX-512
VNNI/BF16) that stock ubuntu-latest GitHub runners don't support —
vllm.model_executor.models.registry SIGILLs on import during LoadModel.

Source compilation works but takes 30-40 minutes per CI run, which is
too slow for an e2e smoke test. Instead, switch tests-vllm-grpc to the
bigger-runner self-hosted label (already used by backend.yml for the
llama-cpp CUDA build) — that hardware has the required SIMD baseline
and the prebuilt wheel runs cleanly.

FROM_SOURCE=true is kept as an opt-in escape hatch:
- install.sh still has the CPU source-build path for hosts that need it
- backend/Dockerfile.python still declares the ARG + ENV
- Makefile docker-build-backend still forwards the build-arg when set
Default CI path uses the fast prebuilt wheel; source build can be
re-enabled by exporting FROM_SOURCE=true in the environment.

* ci(vllm): install make + build deps on bigger-runner

bigger-runner is a bare self-hosted runner used by backend.yml for
docker image builds — it has docker but not the usual ubuntu-latest
toolchain. The make-based test target needs make, build-essential
(cgo in 'go test'), and curl/unzip (the Makefile protoc target
downloads protoc from github releases).

protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc come via 'go install' in the
install-go-tools target, which setup-go makes possible.

* ci(vllm): install libnuma1 + libgomp1 on bigger-runner

The vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel ships a _C C++ extension that dlopens
libnuma.so.1 at import time. When the runner host doesn't have it,
the extension silently fails to register its torch ops, so
EngineCore crashes on init_device with:

  AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
    'init_cpu_threads_env'

Also add libgomp1 (OpenMP runtime, used by torch CPU kernels) to be
safe on stripped-down runners.

* feat(vllm): bundle libnuma/libgomp via package.sh

The vllm CPU wheel ships a _C extension that dlopens libnuma.so.1 at
import time; torch's CPU kernels in turn use libgomp.so.1 (OpenMP).
Without these on the host, vllm._C silently fails to register its
torch ops and EngineCore crashes with:

  AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
    'init_cpu_threads_env'

Rather than asking every user to install libnuma1/libgomp1 on their
host (or every LocalAI base image to ship them), bundle them into
the backend image itself — same pattern fish-speech and the GPU libs
already use. libbackend.sh adds ${EDIR}/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at
run time so the bundled copies are picked up automatically.

- backend/python/vllm/package.sh (new): copies libnuma.so.1 and
  libgomp.so.1 from the builder's multilib paths into ${BACKEND}/lib,
  preserving soname symlinks. Runs during Dockerfile.python's
  'Run backend-specific packaging' step (which already invokes
  package.sh if present).
- backend/Dockerfile.python: install libnuma1 + libgomp1 in the
  builder stage so package.sh has something to copy (the Ubuntu
  base image otherwise only has libgomp in the gcc dep chain).
- test-extra.yml: drop the workaround that installed these libs on
  the runner host — with the backend image self-contained, the
  runner no longer needs them, and the test now exercises the
  packaging path end-to-end the way a production host would.

* ci(vllm): disable tests-vllm-grpc job (heterogeneous runners)

Both ubuntu-latest and bigger-runner have inconsistent CPU baselines:
some instances support the AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 instructions the prebuilt
vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel was compiled with, others SIGILL on import of
vllm.model_executor.models.registry. The libnuma packaging fix doesn't
help when the wheel itself can't be loaded.

FROM_SOURCE=true compiles vllm against the actual host CPU and works
everywhere, but takes 30-50 minutes per run — too slow for a smoke
test on every PR.

Comment out the job for now. The test itself is intact and passes
locally; run it via 'make test-extra-backend-vllm' on a host with the
required SIMD baseline. Re-enable when:
  - we have a self-hosted runner label with guaranteed AVX-512 VNNI/BF16, or
  - vllm publishes a CPU wheel with a wider baseline, or
  - we set up a docker layer cache that makes FROM_SOURCE acceptable

The detect-changes vllm output, the test harness changes (tests/
e2e-backends + tools cap), the make target (test-extra-backend-vllm),
the package.sh and the Dockerfile/install.sh plumbing all stay in
place.

bf4f8da266 fix: include model name in mmproj file path to prevent model isolation (#8937) (#8940)
* fix: include model name in mmproj file path to prevent model isolation issues

This fix addresses issue #8937 where different models with mmproj files
having the same filename (e.g., mmproj-F32.gguf) would overwrite each other.

By including the model name in the path (llama-cpp/mmproj/<model-name>/<filename>),
each model's mmproj files are now stored in separate directories, preventing
the collision that caused conversations to fail when switching between models.

Fixes #8937

Signed-off-by: LocalAI Bot <localai-bot@example.com>

* test: update test expectations for model name in mmproj path

The test file had hardcoded expectations for the old mmproj path format.
Updated the test expectations to include the model name subdirectory
to match the new path structure introduced in the fix.

Fixes CI failures on tests-apple and tests-linux

* fix: add model name to model path for consistency with mmproj path

This change makes the model path consistent with the mmproj path by
including the model name subdirectory in both paths:
- mmproj: llama-cpp/mmproj/<model-name>/<filename>
- model: llama-cpp/models/<model-name>/<filename>

This addresses the reviewer's feedback that the model config generation
needs to correctly reference the mmproj file path.

Fixes the issue where the model path didn't include the model name
subdirectory while the mmproj path did.
