* fix(vllm-cpp): mirror ABI v20 layouts

The dependency bump advances the engine ABI from v17 to v20. The old
binding stops every backend build at the ABI guard and undersizes
structures used at runtime.

Mirror the appended model and video fields so every platform uses the
pinned engine layout.

* fix(vllm-cpp): satisfy Apple Clang

The new engine pin captures a namespace-scope help string in a lambda. Apple Clang rejects the redundant capture because upstream enables -Werror.

Carry the one-line source patch until the engine pin includes the fix.

* fix(vllm-cpp): align the carry patch

The Apple Clang patch used context from another source revision.
Source preparation rejected it before every backend build.

Align the patch with the pinned engine revision.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto a0f50b2af2 feat(vllm-cpp): serve MiniMax-H3 video+audio generation (#11424)
* feat(vllm-cpp): serve MiniMax-H3 video+audio generation

vllm.cpp's C ABI grew a video slice (ABI v12): a second engine handle
loaded from the MiniMax-H3 checkpoint SET, one blocking generate, and a
composed ffmpeg argv the caller execs. This wires that into LocalAI's
existing /video endpoint, so `vllm-cpp` now serves both text and video
and a clip comes back as an MP4 with a real audio track rather than a
silent render.

The video engine is a separate handle rather than a mode of the text
one because H3 is not a model directory: the DiT, the text encoder and
two VAEs are separate artifacts, and vllm.cpp has the two loaders refuse
each other's checkpoints. `Load` takes the video branch when the config
declares any of the video options; `parameters.model` is the DiT and the
rest of the set is named in `options:`.

Three details are worth calling out because getting them wrong is
expensive:

- The partition is DECLARED, not detected. The community quantisations
  strip the release metadata and the FL2VA and Ref2VA DiTs are
  byte-structurally identical, so the engine refuses to generate until
  it is told which it has. Worse, a mismatch does not fail cleanly: a
  reference passed to an FL2VA DiT renders for hours and returns a
  coloured lattice over the frame. The backend refuses that combination
  up front instead.
- ffmpeg comes from the host. libvllm writes frames plus a WAV and
  composes the mux argv, then spawns nothing - that process boundary is
  upstream's decision. The backend execs it, the same arrangement
  vibevoice-cpp uses for transcoding, and ffmpeg also converts a
  start_image upload into the binary PPM at the exact output canvas the
  engine requires.
- It is slow. Roughly 176 s per denoise step at the default 1344x768
  canvas on a 20-SM device, so the 50-step default is a multi-hour job.
  Nothing on this path imposes a deadline.

The /video endpoint no longer forces 512x512 when the request omits the
geometry. Every video backend already supplies its own default for a
zero (512x512 for stablediffusion-ggml, 1280x720 for diffusers, 832x480
for longcat-video, 1344x768 for H3), so the hardcoded value only ever
overrode the model's trained canvas with one three of the four were
never trained at.

Moving the engine pin from ABI v10 to v16 also grows the text
vllm_model_params mirror by the v14 device field and the v16 KV-sizing
knobs. LocalAI sets none of them - 0 is the pre-v14 engine byte for byte
- but the struct SIZE is part of the layout contract, so leaving them
out would have vllm_engine_load read past the allocation.

Gallery: `minimax-h3-fl2va-q4` installs the Q4_K_M FL2VA set (~40 GB
across five weight files plus the two VAE configs that carry the latent
statistics).

* fix(vllm-cpp): unbreak the Darwin build at the new engine pin

src/capi/vllm_c.cpp opens one `extern "C" {` for the whole ABI surface,
so file-local helpers declared inside it inherit C linkage. The video
slice added one that returns std::string, which Apple Clang reports as
-Wreturn-type-c-linkage and vllm.cpp's target-local -Werror turns into a
build failure. GCC and upstream Clang do not diagnose it, so only the
metal-darwin-arm64 job saw it.

Suppress it the same way this Makefile already suppresses Apple Clang's
-Wgnu-folding-constant on the Metal build. The helper is never called
across the boundary so the warning describes no hazard here, but it is a
real upstream wart: the fix belongs in vllm.cpp, hoisting the helper
above the extern "C" block, and this flag should go when a pin carrying
that fix lands.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5

* fix(vllm-cpp): patch the engine clone instead of the warning flag

The -Wno-return-type-c-linkage added in the previous commit does nothing.
vllm_cpp_set_warnings adds `-Wall -Wextra -Werror` as PRIVATE target
options, so they land after anything CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS contributes, and
-Wall re-enables the -Wreturn-type group that -Wreturn-type-c-linkage
belongs to. The darwin job failed again on the same line, which is the
evidence: a consumer cannot wave this off from outside the engine.

Position is the only fix, so carry it as a patch against the pinned SHA,
the way longcat-video patches its own upstream. It hoists the helper
above the `extern "C" {` that gives it C linkage; it is file-local and
never called across the boundary, so nothing else moves.

`git apply` is unguarded on purpose: a patch that stops applying must
fail the clone loudly, because the alternative is a pin that silently
ships without a fix it is documented to carry. The patch header names
what retires it - a pin carrying the fix upstream, where it belongs.

Verified by applying the patch with `git apply` to the exact blob at the
pinned SHA and diffing the result against the intended file.

* chore(vllm-cpp): bump the engine pin to ABI v17 and drop the vendored OrEmpty patch

The OrEmpty linkage fix this backend carried as patches/0001-* landed upstream
(mudler/vllm.cpp#195, 7534da65), so the patch has done its job. It is deleted
rather than left in place: the Makefile applies patches/*.patch unguarded and
documents that "a patch that no longer applies must FAIL the clone", so keeping
it against fixed source would break the build the moment the pin moved. Bumping
the pin and deleting the patch therefore have to be the SAME change.

Pin f921062b -> 776c56f1 (current vllm.cpp main).

That range also carries the engine's ABI v17 (vllm_server_main: the OpenAI server
published on the public surface). registerLib compares the library's
vllm_abi_version against `abiVersion` for EXACT equality, so the constant moves
16 -> 17 in the same commit or every load fails with an ABI mismatch.

The bump is safe for the layout assertions in video_test.go: diffing include/vllm.h
across the two pins shows zero struct-field changes -- v17 adds one function
declaration, the version macro and a doc comment, nothing else -- so every
unsafe.Offsetof in the video params test still holds.

* chore(vllm-cpp): re-pin to pick up the VLLM_CPP_SERVER=OFF link fix

The previous pin carried vllm.cpp's ABI v17 (vllm_server_main) but not the guard
that makes it link when the server is compiled out. This backend builds libvllm
with VLLM_CPP_SERVER off, so the darwin lane failed at the dylib link with
vllm::entrypoints::openai::VllmServerMain undefined.

Fixed upstream in mudler/vllm.cpp#202: the C entry point is now guarded, so the
symbol is still exported (ABI v17 stays resolvable for dlopen) while the
no-server arm reports the missing capability instead of dragging in a translation
unit that was never compiled.

Verified upstream in BOTH arms before re-pinning: SERVER=ON builds and runs, and
SERVER=OFF configures, links, produces libvllm.so, and `nm -D` shows
vllm_server_main exported next to vllm_video_generate and vllm_transcribe.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto ea438cdeaf feat(vllm-cpp): wire the full engine config surface through engine_args (#11159)
The backend could configure four of the engine's knobs (block size, KV block
count, max sequence length, max concurrent sequences) out of a config surface
that is considerably larger. Speculative decoding, prefix caching, the
chunked-prefill token budget, the scheduling policy and the external KV
connector were reachable from vllm.cpp's own HTTP server and from nothing
LocalAI could write in a model config.

Config now goes through `engine_args:`, the same map the vLLM and SGLang
backends take, with keys spelled as vLLM's own CLI flags so a speculative_config
or kv_transfer_config block written for vLLM works verbatim. The legacy
`options:` list keeps working and reads every key too; engine_args wins where
both set one. Unknown keys are logged and ignored rather than fatal: the field
is shared with the other engines, so a config carrying their knobs must not take
the model down.

Two details worth knowing:

`enable_prefix_caching: false` maps to the ABI tri-state force-OFF (2), not 0.
0 means "let the model capability decide" and dense architectures default the
cache on, so collapsing the two would silently enable it against an explicit
false. enable_jump_forward (ABI v10) shares the encoding, deferring to
VT_ENABLE_JUMP_FORWARD instead of to the model.

The importer probes config.json on a vllm-cpp import and writes
speculative_config: {method: mtp} when the checkpoint declares an MTP head, the
safetensors analogue of the llama-cpp importer's GGUF probe. DFlash draft repos
are refused with a warning instead, since a drafter cannot serve alone and the
pairing is not derivable from either repo. The draft path is resolved against
LocalAI's model directory, because the engine only looks in a directory holding
config.json or in the HF cache and never downloads: the repo-id spelling the
vLLM docs teach used to die deep in the load with "draft checkpoint not found".

docs/content/features/text-generation.md gains a vllm.cpp section covering the
engine_args table, all three speculative methods, LMCache and the legacy list.
The backend had no documentation page before.

This replaces a branch that had gone stale behind master and carried its own
route to ABI v10, which #11386 has since landed in minimal form. Rebased onto
that as a single commit rather than replaying the intermediate steps, whose
ABI v9 mirrors no longer make sense against master's pin. The Darwin build
fixes for Apple Clang's gnu-folding-constant diagnostic on C++, Objective-C and
Objective-C++, originally authored by localai-org-maint-bot, are folded in here.

Verified: `make abi-check` agrees at v10; unit specs, core/config and
core/gallery/importers green; and the full e2e passes in 1330s against a CPU
libvllm.so reporting ABI v10 with Qwen_Qwen3.5-0.8B-Q4_K_M.gguf (load, blocking
completion, streaming, chat and tool calls).

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 102d91414e fix(vllm-cpp): mirror the engine's ABI v10 so the backend loads again (#11386)
The Go bindings mirror vllm.h by hand and refuse a library whose
vllm_abi_version differs from what they were written against. Two
automated pin bumps (#11174, #11352) moved VLLM_CPP_VERSION onto engines
declaring ABI v10 while govllmcpp.go still mirrored v5, so every
vllm-cpp image built since then panics at startup on every platform:

  panic: vllm-cpp: ABI mismatch: library reports v10, backend built against v5

Grow both PODs to the v10 layout: vllm_model_params gains
speculative_config, enable_prefix_caching, max_num_batched_tokens,
scheduling_policy, kv_transfer_config and enable_jump_forward (88 bytes),
vllm_sampling_params gains the v8 logits-processor pair (136 bytes). The
offsets in the specs come from offsetof() against the pinned header. All
of the new fields are inert when zeroed, so the engine behaves exactly as
it did under v5; the backend sets none of them.

Nothing cross-checked the two files, which is why a blind pin bump could
ship a backend that cannot load. The library build now runs abi-check
first: it compares VLLM_ABI_VERSION in the fetched header against
abiVersion in govllmcpp.go and fails the build naming both, instead of
leaving the mismatch for a user's runtime.

Fixes #11379

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 4baa36ddd8 feat(backend): vllm-cpp - text-generation backend for vllm.cpp with llama.cpp-parity tool calling (#11100)
* feat(backend): add vllm-cpp text-generation backend (vllm.cpp)

Wrap https://github.com/mudler/vllm.cpp - the LocalAI-team from-scratch C++20
port of vLLM (paged KV cache, continuous batching, prefix caching, safetensors
+ GGUF loading, no Python at inference) - as a Go gRPC backend over its stable
C ABI (ABI v2) via purego.

Backend (backend/go/vllm-cpp):
- Load -> vllm_engine_load: accepts a .gguf file or a config.json model dir
  (anything else is refused, satisfying the greedy-probe rule); context_size
  maps to max_model_len, options block_size/num_blocks/max_num_seqs size the
  KV cache and scheduler admission.
- Predict -> vllm_complete (blocking); PredictStream -> vllm_complete_stream
  with the per-delta C callback bridged into the gRPC stream. The backend
  embeds base.Base (not SingleThread): concurrent requests batch continuously
  in the engine's shared AsyncLLM scheduler.
- PredictOptions.Grammar -> the ABI's structured_grammar (GBNF), giving
  grammar-constrained tool calling at parity with llama-cpp; the ABI also
  exposes JSON-schema/regex/choice constraints.
- Hand-mirrored POD structs with layout locked by unit tests
  (unsafe.Offsetof vs the C offsets) and a runtime vllm_abi_version gate.
- One portable library per platform (vllm.cpp uses per-file SIMD tiers with
  runtime dispatch), so no avx/avx2/avx512 variant builds.

Wiring:
- backend-matrix: CPU amd64+arm64 (per-arch + manifest merge), CUDA 12/13
  amd64 (120a;121a Blackwell fat binary), L4T arm64 (121a, GB10/DGX Spark -
  the runtime-proven GPU target), Vulkan amd64, and Darwin arm64 Metal.
- backend/index.yaml meta + 12 image entries (latest/development x cpu,
  cuda12, cuda13, l4t, vulkan, metal); bump_deps registration for the
  VLLM_CPP_VERSION pin; root Makefile registration; test-extra runs the unit
  specs (pure Go, no engine build).
- Importers: preference-only swaps - llama-cpp (GGUF) and vllm (safetensors)
  advertise vllm-cpp via AdditionalBackends and emit backend: vllm-cpp
  without tokenizer templating (the C ABI takes the FINAL prompt; templating
  and tool parsing stay LocalAI-side). No auto-detect importer.
- Docs: backends list, top-level README maintained-engines table,
  compatibility table.

Verified: 20/20 Ginkgo specs against the real pinned engine and
Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU - blocking + streaming parity, greedy
determinism, stop words, GBNF-constrained generation, and 4 concurrent
streams; plus a dlopen/ABI-gate smoke of the built gRPC server binary.
Upstream ABI v2 + production structured-output wiring landed as
mudler/vllm.cpp@86013f3.

* feat(vllm-cpp): ride the autoparser code path - engine-side chat templating and tool engagement (ABI v3)

The backend now implements AIModelRich (PredictRich / PredictStreamRich) over
vllm.cpp's ABI v3 chat entry points, so chat and tool calling ride the SAME
code path as the llama.cpp autoparser: the ENGINE renders the model's chat
template, decides when a tool call engages, and parses it - LocalAI receives
pre-parsed ChatDelta / ToolCallDelta protos exactly as it does from llama-cpp.

- With use_tokenizer_template + structured Messages, PredictOptions lowers to
  ONE OpenAI chat request JSON (messages, tools, tool_choice, sampling,
  stream_options.include_usage) for vllm_chat / vllm_chat_stream. tool_choice
  auto lowers engine-side to a LAZY structural-tag decode constraint - free
  text until the model emits the tool trigger, then the call is
  grammar-constrained; required/named force a call. Tool output is parsed by
  the engine's streaming Hermes-style parser; each chat.completion.chunk maps
  onto ChatDeltas (content / reasoning_content / tool_calls) which the host
  already prefers over Go-side tag extraction. Without structured messages the
  plain path (LocalAI templating + optional GBNF grammar) applies unchanged.
- The engine resolves the chat template from the GGUF tokenizer.chat_template
  metadata (or tokenizer_config.json); templates beyond its minja subset -
  e.g. the full Qwen3.5 namespace()/macro template - degrade engine-side to a
  Hermes-aware fallback prompt (tools schemas + <tool_call> instruction) with
  a stderr witness, so structural-tag engagement keeps working.
- Importers now emit the same config shape as llama-cpp for vllm-cpp
  (use_tokenizer_template: true, no-grammar autoparser flow); only the
  llama-cpp-specific use_jinja option and the vllm-python parser options are
  dropped.
- Pin bumped to mudler/vllm.cpp@aaed7ec (ABI v3 + chat-prompt resolution).

Verified against the real engine and Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU: full
suite green - blocking chat, streaming deltas concatenating byte-equal to the
blocking answer, a REQUIRED tool call returning schema-valid arguments JSON,
and an AUTO run where the engine itself engages get_weather and streams parsed
tool deltas; plus unit specs for the request lowering, chunk->ChatDelta
mapping, and the C struct mirrors (ABI gate now v3).

* feat(vllm-cpp): ABI v5 - engine-side parser selection for 30 tool dialects + reasoning

Bump the vllm.cpp pin to the autoparser-parity engine: 30 tool-call dialects
(every pure-text parser in the pinned vLLM registry, each ported 1:1 with its
upstream tests), 7 reasoning parsers, google/minja as the template renderer
(the full Qwen3.5 template now renders engine-side), per-family structural
tags (tool_choice required/named compiles the model's NATIVE syntax where
expressible), and template auto-detection for both parser axes.

Backend changes:
- cModelParams mirrors ABI v5 (tool_parser + reasoning_parser fields,
  layout-locked by the offset tests; ABI gate now v5).
- New model options tool_parser:<name> / reasoning_parser:<name> pass through
  to the engine; unset means template auto-detection (18-row tool marker
  table; [THINK]->mistral, <think>->think_auto for reasoning); "none"
  disables the reasoning split; unknown names fail the first chat call.
- Chat chunks parse the `reasoning` field (the pin renamed
  reasoning_content), flowing into ChatDelta.ReasoningContent which the host
  already prefers.

Live e2e against Qwen3.5-2B-UD-Q8_K_XL.gguf on CPU, full suite green: the
real chat template renders (no more fallback), reasoning auto-detection picks
think_auto so markerless answers stay pure content (the live run caught the
deepseek_r1 content-swallow upstream and drove the think_auto fix), required
tool_choice returns schema-valid arguments, auto tool_choice engages
engine-side and streams parsed deltas, and blocking/streaming stay
byte-identical. Turn latency also dropped (proper template EOS behavior).

Upstream program landed as mudler/vllm.cpp 86013f3..5fffe7e (ABI v2-v5,
minja, parser waves B1/B2/B4, reasoning seam, structural-tag registry,
think_auto).

deltas), tool_choice auto engaging get_weather engine-side with schema-valid

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

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

1. gcc-14 (ubuntu:24.04 CI images; the local toolchain is gcc-13) fails the
   engine build with -Werror=maybe-uninitialized in InputBatch::condense - a
   false positive through a staging std::optional's raw storage. Fixed
   upstream (mudler/vllm.cpp@61f3e85) by moving slot-to-slot directly;
   verified BOTH ways under dockerized g++-14.2 (unfixed reproduces CI's two
   diagnostics exactly, fixed compiles clean) with the engine's behavior
   suites green. Pin bumped to that sha.

2. The amd64 CUDA builds died at CMake configure: the vendored Triton-AOT
   cubin trees are per-arch and the engine refuses -DVLLM_CPP_TRITON=ON on a
   multi-arch (120a;121a) fat build unless pinned to one tree, which would be
   unsound for the other arch. Triton is now enabled only on the single-arch
   arm64/GB10 build (where the cubins matter); the fat amd64 binary uses the
   engine's non-AOT GDN path.

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

The second CI round surfaced a CUDA-version constraint: the cuda-12 (12.8)
image's nvcc rejects 'compute_121a' (GB10 arch support landed with CUDA 13),

CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION (exported by Dockerfile.golang): cuda-12 builds consumer
Blackwell 120a only, cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary, arm64/l4t
(cuda-13) keeps single-arch 121a with the Triton cubins. GB10 is arm64, so
the amd64 cuda-12 image never served it - no capability change.

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

Third CI round, third layer: with the arch list already narrowed to 120a,
the cuda-12 (12.8) build still dies in ptxas compiling the sm_120a NVFP4 MMA
kernels ("Vector type too large, exceeds 128 bit limit") - the Blackwell fp4
path genuinely requires the CUDA 13 toolchain, and vllm.cpp supports
Blackwell-family GPUs only. Shipping a cuda-12 image without the fp4 kernels
would be a crippled build of an engine whose whole GPU story is fp4, so the
variant is dropped instead:

- backend-matrix: cuda-12 vllm-cpp entry removed (cuda-13 amd64, l4t arm64,
  cpu, vulkan, metal remain).
- gallery: cuda12 image entries removed; the nvidia capability now resolves
  to the cuda13 image in both metas; the nvidia-cuda-12 key is dropped so
  older-driver hosts fall back to the CPU image instead of an unrunnable one.
- backend Makefile: BUILD_TYPE=cublas under CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=12 now fails
  fast with a clear message; cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary and
  arm64/l4t keeps 121a with the Triton cubins.

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

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

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

* fix(vllm-cpp): bump vllm.cpp for the darwin arm64 i8mm build fix

The darwin-metal CI job was the first build to compile the engine's arm
CPU-quant files on macOS and hit their Linux-only <asm/hwcap.h> /
<sys/auxv.h> includes. vllm.cpp 9e1c9025 detects i8mm per-OS (auxv on
Linux, sysctl on Apple Silicon) with kernels untouched. Gated e2e suite
re-run green against the new pin with a real Qwen3.5 GGUF.

* fix(vllm-cpp): darwin build - bound cmake parallelism when nproc is absent

The macOS runners have no nproc, so JOBS evaluated empty and
`cmake --build -j$(JOBS)` became bare `-j`: unlimited clang jobs on a
3-core/7GB Mac, which swap-thrashed until the 6h GHA timeout (the log
shows "nproc: Command not found" and 7+ concurrent clang processes being
reaped at the cutoff). Use the same portable fallback chain as the other
darwin backends: nproc, then sysctl hw.ncpu, then 4.
