Ettore Di Giacinto	bf5c9341ea	feat(backend): add buun-llama-cpp fork (DFlash + TCQ KV-cache) ... spiritbuun/buun-llama-cpp is a fork of TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant that adds two independent features on top: DFlash block-diffusion speculative decoding (via a dedicated DFlashDraftModel GGUF arch) and two extra TCQ KV-cache variants (turbo2_tcq, turbo3_tcq) on top of TurboQuant's turbo2/turbo3/turbo4. Follows the turboquant thin-wrapper pattern — reuses backend/cpp/llama-cpp grpc-server sources verbatim, patches only the build copy to extend the KV allow-list and wire up buun-exclusive tree_budget / draft_topk options. DraftModel is already wired end-to-end (proto field 39 → params.speculative), so DFlash activation only needs the existing options passthrough (spec_type:dflash) plus the drafter path in draft_model. CacheTypeOptions now surfaces the five turbo* values so the React UI dropdown shows them — benefits turboquant too (previously users had to type them in YAML manually).

Adiraandlocalai-org-maint-bot	ab52813342	feat(modelartifacts): support bounded parallel Hugging Face file downloads (#11162) ... * feat(modelartifacts): support bounded parallel Hugging Face file downloads Closes #11114. Snapshot materialization fetched every file through the sequential executor in DownloadFilesWithContext, so a repository split into many shards spent most of its wall clock in per-file request latency rather than moving bytes. Add DownloadFilesWithConcurrency, an errgroup with SetLimit, and keep DownloadFilesWithContext as a wrapper that passes a limit of 1. That leaves the two non-artifact callers (core/gallery and the model config loader) on exactly the path they had: tasks still run in slice order, and the first failure still returns before any later task starts. Only whole files run in parallel. A single file is never split, so the .partial resume machinery and the per-file SHA check in downloadTaskWithRetry are untouched. Two details the parallel path forced: - completedBytes becomes an atomic.Int64. Several AfterDownload hooks add to it while other files' progress callbacks read it; without this the race detector reports three races on the new specs. - The caller's status callback is serialized. The sequential path gave it an implicit guarantee of never being entered twice at once, and it belongs to the caller, so the executor keeps that promise rather than pushing locking onto every caller. AfterDownload is deliberately not serialized -- it does the verify-and-promote work that parallelism exists to overlap. Manifest order needed no work: each hook already writes its own manifest.Files slot by snapshot index, so entries stay in snapshot order whatever the completion order. A spec now pins that. The default is 1, unchanged behaviour. A shared models volume is often the bottleneck rather than the link, so raising it is a deployment decision; --artifact-download-concurrency and LOCALAI_ARTIFACT_DOWNLOAD_CONCURRENCY expose it on both `run` and `models install`. Not done here, per the issue: no chunk-level parallelism within a single file, and no throughput measurements across concurrency 1/2/4/8 -- that needs a representative sharded repo and a real link.

It applies to any artifact source, as @mudler pointed out. - artifact_download_concurrency is now a persisted runtime setting and is editable from the WebUI, so it can be changed without a restart. The manager's limit becomes an atomic.Int64 behind SetDownloadConcurrency, because a live runtime setting can be updated while a materialization is already in flight. Injected materializers stay compatible through an optional setter interface, so a manager that does not implement it is simply left alone. Verified before taking this on: go build, go vet and go test -race all pass for pkg/modelartifacts, pkg/downloader and core/config. The React UI builds with vite, artifact_download_concurrency is present in the built Settings chunk, and eslint reports the same 8 pre-existing warnings on Settings.jsx as it does without the change. Implementation contributed by localai-org-maint-bot on the review thread; reviewed, verified and signed off by me.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto	9a6156d808	feat(nemo-speech-cpp): add the NVIDIA NeMo-Speech.cpp backend (#11406) ... * feat(nemo-speech-cpp): scaffold the backend and upstream build Adds the backend skeleton and the NeMo-Speech.cpp build, pinned at 2e12e2def8a98ed06666f7ee3ca94e7193e04be4. The Go side is deliberately a stub: it dlopens the runtime and starts the gRPC server, later work fills in the symbol table and the model logic. Three details of the upstream layout differ from what the plan assumed, and the build reflects the real tree: * The TTS C ABI ships as libnemo_speech_tts, not libnemo_speech_tts_c. Upstream compiles c_api.cpp straight into the implementation library and only aliases the nemo_speech_tts_c CMake target, so no _c object exists on disk. ASR and NMT do build a real _c shim. * Shared objects land in build/bin, since upstream points CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY at ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/bin. * The ASR and NMT _c shims carry a DT_NEEDED on libnemo_speech_asr and libnemo_speech_nmt, so those are staged and packaged alongside them. Otherwise dlopen fails at startup. The ggml patch step uses an order-only prerequisite. cmake writes into the checkout and bumps its mtime past the sentinel, which would otherwise re-run git apply over an already-patched tree and break every incremental build. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): make 'build' produce the package and bundle the ITN stack Addresses the review of the scaffold commit. backend/Dockerfile.golang runs 'make -C backend/go/$(BACKEND) build' and then copies package/ into the final image, so 'build' has to end with a populated package/. It only staged shared objects, which would have shipped an image with no binary and no libraries at all. The old staging recipe is now stage-libs and the chain is stage-libs, nemo-speech-cpp-grpc, package, build, matching every sibling Go backend. Text normalization was packaged incorrectly. nemo_speech_text_normalization is STATIC but links sparrowhawk, fstfar and fst PUBLIC, so they land as DT_NEEDED on libnemo_speech_asr.so, and they live in a project-local prefix that nothing else provides. WITH_NORM stays ON by default on Linux, since normalization is a wanted feature. Instead stage_libs now copies .deps/itn/lib when WITH_NORM=ON, and package.sh bundles it. Staging that prefix is still not enough on its own: Sparrowhawk drags in protobuf, re2 and absl, which neither build_itn_deps.sh nor package-system-libs.sh provides. Rather than hard-code another hand-maintained list, package.sh now walks the DT_NEEDED entries of everything staged and copies whatever is unresolved, skipping the core set and the GPU set that the shared scripts already own. It fails at package time, not at first dlopen, when something cannot be resolved. On a WITH_NORM=OFF build the closure is already complete and it copies nothing. Restore CGO_ENABLED=0 on the Go build to match whisper, parakeet-cpp and omnivoice-cpp. Note that purego reaches dlopen through fakecgo, so the binary is dynamically linked either way; what the flag changes is the NEEDED set, and lib/ld.so routing in run.sh exists precisely because the binary is not static. Replace the hand-rolled .patched sentinel with upstream's scripts/apply-ggml-patches.sh. It applies the series in filename order, exits non-zero when a patch does not apply, and detects "already applied" by comparing the full-series tree hash rather than an mtime, so it is safe to run every time and there is no sentinel left to go stale or to wedge the build when deleted. It is wired as an order-only prerequisite so running it does not force a relink. Also: correct the package.sh header, which claimed three shared objects when there are five and none of the TTS ones carry a _c suffix; give 'make test' the LD_LIBRARY_PATH the dlopen tests will need; document that a NEMO_SPEECH_VERSION bump needs 'make purge'; and extend 'clean' to remove package/ and the ITN libraries.

The dependency-closure guard failed open. Its glob expands once per pass, so each pass advanced the closure by exactly one level, and the fixed count of five passes then fell out of the loop without checking whether anything remained. An eight-deep chain packaged six libraries, exited zero and reported success. That is the case the guard was written for: asr to sparrowhawk to protobuf to absl already runs several levels deep, so a WITH_NORM build could ship missing its deepest libraries and fail at first dlopen. The loop now runs until the staged set stops growing, and exhausting the bound is a hard error rather than a silent exit. For the same reason, a build image with neither readelf nor objdump no longer warns and skips. It cannot show the package is complete, so it refuses to ship it. The guard is entered only when there is something to check, so an empty package cannot trip the new error. Dockerfile.golang installed ninja-build only in the Vulkan branch while this Makefile runs cmake -G Ninja unconditionally, so the CPU, cuBLAS and L4T images could not configure at all. ninja-build moves to the common apt list; it does not change CMake's default generator, so it is inert for the other backends. gcc-12 was nowhere in the tree, yet WITH_NORM defaults ON and build_itn_deps.sh needs it, so the committed default was unbuildable in CI. Install it, with the protobuf, absl, re2 and autotools that Sparrowhawk and OpenFST need, gated on BACKEND so the other Go images do not carry it. The list follows upstream's own docker/Dockerfile, trimmed of the gRPC, portaudio and python entries a BUILD_GRPC=OFF build does not use. Text normalization stays ON: downgrading it silently would ship a backend advertising a feature it lacks. Also: make test depend on stage-libs, so LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not an empty directory on a clean tree, and add an engine target so Dockerfile.golang's cacheable prebuild layer is not skipped and a CUDA build stops recompiling all of upstream on every Go-side change.

Dockerfile.golang installs protoc 27.1 into /usr/local/bin, ahead of /usr/bin, while libprotobuf-dev is the distro's 3.21 on noble and 3.12 on jammy. Sparrowhawk resolves protoc from PATH at make time (configure.ac uses AC_CHECK_PROG, so PROTOC substitutes to the bare word, and src/proto/Makefile.am invokes it) and commits no pregenerated stubs, so the rule always runs. Code generated by 27.1 includes google/protobuf/runtime_version.h and a PROTOBUF_VERSION guard the older headers lack, so the WITH_NORM build could not complete. Pin PROTOC to the apt one for that step; configure documents that a pre-set value wins. The apt protoc and libprotobuf-dev come from one source package at one version, which is the property that makes this correct. The text-normalization stack is now a target keyed on a file build_itn_deps.sh actually produces, rather than a side effect of the runtime library rule. As a side effect make could not see whether it existed, so once the library was up to date the script could never run again: a tree built WITH_NORM=OFF could not move to ON, and make test hard-failed with no escape but a full 345 MB clean. It is now built on demand and reachable on its own as 'make itn'. Staging keys on the prefix existing rather than on WITH_NORM, so it stages what the tree actually built, and package.sh's closure guard remains the backstop. An already-configured build tree also now wins over the platform default, so a tree built WITH_NORM=OFF is not silently reconfigured to ON by a bare make test, which is what demanded gcc-12 from developers who chose not to have it. An explicit WITH_NORM= on the command line still overrides both, and the ITN rule preflights for gcc-12 with an error that names the alternative. Move ninja-build out of the shared apt layer into the existing BACKEND-gated block. Dockerfile.golang serves 225 matrix entries and only this backend configures with -G Ninja, so the common list is byte-identical to master again and no other image loses its cache. Drop libabsl-dev and correct the comment that justified it. No base image here ships protobuf 25, so nothing needs the absl split, and the cmake glob looks in /usr/lib rather than the multiarch directory Ubuntu actually uses, so the package could never have contributed anything. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): move the backend apt gate below the expensive layers Addresses the fourth review round. The nemo-speech-cpp apt block sat immediately after the shared apt layer, above the Vulkan SDK build, the CUDA and ROCm installs, the Go toolchain and the protoc download. Docker keys each layer on its parent, so inserting a step there re-keys everything below it: a byte-identical shared layer is not enough, and merging as it stood would have forced all of those to re-execute once for every Go backend image. Move it down beside the existing opus, crispasr and sherpa-onnx gates, which sit after those layers for the same reason. Checked the ordering both ways before moving. Nothing between the two positions uses these packages: the Vulkan and opus blocks install their own ninja and pkg-config, go install protoc-gen-go needs the Go toolchain rather than protoc, and the protoc 27.1 step is a release-binary download that needs neither protobuf-compiler nor libprotobuf-dev. Nothing in the block needs anything those layers provide; it uses only apt, and the mirror rewrite from the first RUN persists in the image. It also runs no update-alternatives, so the default compiler stays untouched for later layers. The diff against master is now a single additive hunk with no shared layer touched. Also preflight ITN_PROTOC. configure gates a preset PROTOC on test -n alone, so a path that does not exist is accepted and the error surfaces much later as a bare "No such file or directory" from inside make -C src/proto. The pin introduced that failure on a box whose only protoc is in /usr/local/bin, which worked before. Check it alongside the gcc-12 check and name the ITN_PROTOC= override in the message.

That branch of resolve() had no spec: dropping the guard left every spec green while parseOptions started returning the models directory itself. Add the spec that fails without the guard. A known key with an unparseable value is a typo, not a config from a newer backend, and "gpu:banna" failed expensively: the model loaded, produced correct output, and ran on CPU with no signal anywhere. Log it. Unknown keys stay silently ignored, which is what keeps configs forward compatible.

Two of the bindings differ from the plan because the headers do. The plan's nemo_speech_diar_segments signature omits the segmentation-config pointer that diar.h declares as the second parameter, which would have shifted the output buffer, the capacity and the count pointer one position each. And nemo_speech_diar_stream_push_f32 was missing from the symbol table although standalone diarization cannot work without it. Also close the two panic and equality gaps left in family.go: ValueString panics on a mistyped general.architecture, and the self-codec guard compared a Cleaned candidate path against an uncleaned one, so a doubled separator let the primary GGUF be selected as its own codec. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * test(nemo-speech-cpp): run the ABI specs in CI and refuse to skip them The layout assertions were inert. TEST_PATHS does not cover this backend and the per-backend list in test-extra had no entry for it, so nothing invoked the package's tests. Add it next to depth-anything-cpp, supertonic and vllm-cpp, the group whose own test target carries its build prerequisites; stage-libs already pulls the native build chain, so no prepare-test-extra entry is needed. The skip guard was also loader-inconsistent: librariesPresent stats bare filenames relative to the working directory while openLibraries resolves them through the loader search path, so any invocation other than make test skipped every library-backed spec and still reported green. NEMO_SPEECH_REQUIRE_LIBS=1 turns that into a failure naming the directory and the remedy, and the Makefile test target sets it. Unset, the plain skip survives so a developer without a build can still run the pure-Go layer specs. Trim the default-value fingerprint from roughly forty assertions to eight. It was pinning tunables such as threads and flush_partial_chunk, so a legitimate pin bump would have failed with a message reading like a layout error. What survives is only header-documented contract: the lone non-zero max_alternatives, the run of -1 sentinels and the zero that witnesses where it stops. Verified the narrowed spec still catches a mirror and offset table corrupted in lockstep, which is the one class only this layer sees.

The family is committed only once its loader has succeeded. A load that fails part way through would otherwise leave the gate open on a handle that was never created. cstr uses runtime.Pinner rather than an ordinary Go allocation. The address crosses the ABI as a uintptr, which the collector does not trace, so incidental reachability through the release closure is not a guarantee: a caller discarding that closure could have the bytes collected before the create call reads them. Pinning is the sanctioned mechanism, makes the release function do real work, and turns a dropped release into a loud leaked-Pinner panic instead of silent corruption. Free overrides the base no-op to destroy the handle and reset the family. Every family owns C memory only its own destroy entry point can release, so without this an unloaded model leaks an acoustic model. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): pin the load ordering, close the engineMu race Three review items, plus a defect the race detector turned up. The spec covering "no family selected after a failed load" wrote junk to a .gguf, so Load returned at ggufArchitecture before a family was ever chosen and the assertion was vacuous. Generalised the GGUF test helper to take a string architecture, and added a spec that loads a magpietts GGUF with no sibling codec, so familyFor succeeds and discoverTTSAssets then fails. It self-guards on ggufArchitecture so it cannot degrade back into the earlier path. requireFamily read n.fam unlocked while Free wrote it under engineMu, which the race detector confirms is a real race. pkg/grpc/server.go calls Free without the backend lock every other RPC holds, so teardown can land mid-request. withEngine now takes the lock, checks the family and runs the body under one acquisition; two would leave a window for Free to destroy the handle between check and use. The locking protocol is stated in both directions for the RPCs still to be written. Running -race also enables checkptr, which aborts on cstr's pointer being read back by goString: converting a uintptr to a pointer is fatal whenever the address lands in a Go allocation, so a pinned Go buffer can never be dereferenced from Go. The pointer is for C alone. Both helpers now document the one-way contract, and goString is tested against a real C-owned string by rebinding the version symbol to return a raw char*. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nemo-speech-cpp): implement offline transcription Create the ASR recognizer in loadASR and serve AudioTranscription. Segment times are int64 nanoseconds, not seconds: the proto field is an int64 that core/backend reads straight into a time.Duration, while the runtime reports word offsets in milliseconds. Words are grouped into one segment per consecutive speaker run, with the 1-based speaker tag carried through and 0 (untagged) left unlabelled. The whole RPC body runs inside withEngine so the family check and the C calls happen under one acquisition of engineMu. Free runs without the backend lock, so checking the family and then relocking would let a teardown destroy the handle in the gap. The audio decode is inside the closure too, which costs nothing: base.SingleThread already serialises this backend's RPCs. recognizeF32 guards zero-length PCM. &pcm[0] panics on an empty slice, so Go never reaches the C side's own "empty audio" rejection, and a silent clip or a truncated upload is ordinary input. pkg/utils has no WAV decode helper, only the ffmpeg normalisation, so audio.go pairs AudioToWav with go-audio the way parakeet-cpp does. It returns the sample rate rather than a duration, since the C API resamples off that number. Also closes the write-side half of the race Task 5 fixed on the read side: Load now holds engineMu across the family switch and the n.fam commit, matching Free. The loaders still must not take it. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nemo-speech-cpp): implement streaming and live transcription AudioTranscriptionStream drives a whole clip through the cache-aware streaming API in 100 ms pushes, emitting each finalized utterance as a delta and closing with the assembled result. AudioTranscriptionLive serves the bidirectional RPC over the same session: config first, a ready ack, deltas with word timings as utterances land, and a terminal result when the caller closes its send side. Both wrap their body in withEngine, so a stream holds engineMu for its whole life and Free waits on it rather than destroying the recognizer underneath a half-finished stream. That makes the way out load-bearing: the file loop honours the request context between pushes, and the live loop ends when the host closes the request channel, so a disconnected client cannot pin the model against unload. Only finals become deltas. The runtime applies punctuation and inverse text normalization on finals only, so a final rewrites the utterance rather than extending its interim, and delta on the wire is newly-finalized text that consumers concatenate. Forwarding interims would duplicate and mispunctuate every utterance. The four streaming entry points sit behind an asrSession interface. No NeMo GGUF is small enough to keep in the tree, so without that seam the need-more-audio drain would have no test at all: nemo_speech_asr_stream_next reports OK with a NULL handle when it wants more audio, which is a pause rather than an end, and reading it either way round drops results or spins forever. Also folds in three items from the offline transcription review: - empty audio is now refused before anything crosses the ABI, not inside recognizeF32. The added integration spec caught the old ordering panicking on an unbound entry point instead of failing; - an undecodable sample rate is an error rather than 0, which this runtime reads as "already at the model rate" and would have made a wrong rate silently pitch-shift the audio; - AudioTranscription guards its result pointer instead of relying on an unstated invariant. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): make live deltas concatenate and fill segment words runLive wrote the inter-utterance separator into the accumulated transcript but emitted the delta without it, so a two-utterance turn sent "one." and "two." while the terminal result read "one. two.". The live consumer is the one that really concatenates: the realtime semantic-VAD path joins the accumulated deltas with the empty string and clears them only at a turn reset, never at an endpoint, so the running caption read "one.two.". The separator now goes into the delta, as it already did on the file path, and the terminal text is the verbatim concatenation rather than a trimmed rebuild. TranscriptSegment.Words was never populated, so a request asking for timestamp_granularities ["word"] came back with no words at all even though the timings were decoded. wordsToSegments now attaches them, gated on the granularity the same way parakeet-cpp gates it, so a transcript that did not ask for word timestamps does not pay for them. Also: the final that comes back from the tail flush no longer claims an end-of-utterance. It is the end of the stream, not a user yielding the turn, and eou is what the realtime turn detector acts on. The comment explaining why interims are suppressed led with the runtime's postprocessing. The wire contract is the stronger reason and now comes first: consumers concatenate deltas, so forwarding a growing hypothesis assembles to "hehellhelloHello.". The postprocessing only explains why no diffing trick would rescue them. It is also ITN and strip_formatting rather than punctuation, which is off by default here.

The speaker label is the runtime's 1-based tag as a decimal string, matching what wordsToSegments emits on the ASR path, so the same speaker reads the same way whether a caller diarized a file or transcribed it. The six frame-geometry overrides are written as -1 rather than left zero. c_api.cpp applies left_context_frames when it is >= 0 while every other override needs > 0, so a zeroed config would silently pin the left context to zero and change the model's streaming geometry. nemo_speech_diar_segments writes *count before it rejects a buffer that is too small, so a rejected fill still reports the size to retry with. collectSegments uses that rather than truncating, bounded at four attempts because the RPC holds engineMu for its whole body and an unbounded retry would block an unload behind it. Two DiarizeRequest knobs map onto the segmentation config, and the proto and header names cross over: min_duration_on is the C min_duration_sec and min_duration_off is the C min_gap_sec. Six fields have no equivalent in this pipeline and are logged rather than dropped in silence: num_speakers, min_speakers and max_speakers (Sortformer's capacity is fixed by the checkpoint), clustering_threshold (there is no clustering stage), include_text (no ASR here) and threads. The empty-PCM guard fires before the stream is opened, so a silent clip never reaches a purego entry point that would dereference &pcm[0]. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): pin the diarizer geometry sentinels and cap the segment buffer The six frame-geometry overrides were written as -1 with nothing asserting it. c_api.cpp applies left_context_frames at >= 0 while the other five need > 0, so a dropped sentinel there pins the model's left context to zero, and the struct keeps exactly the same shape, which is all the layout assertions can see. Extracting diarModelConfig makes the values assertable: five specs now pin all six frame fields, the device index, the declared size and the NULL preset, each frame field on its own line so a missing sentinel names itself. distinctSpeakers had a spec with three segments over three distinct labels, which len(segs) satisfies just as well as the real thing. Four segments over three labels makes it a spec that can fail. collectSegments sized its buffer straight from a count the C side reported, and make() panics rather than erroring on a length it cannot satisfy, so an uninitialised size_t coming back across the ABI killed the backend process instead of failing one request. A ceiling of 2^22 segments, upwards of 93 hours of audio at one 80 ms frame each, turns that into a diagnosable error. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nemo-speech-cpp): implement TTS and streaming TTS The PCM callback is compiled once per process behind a sync.Once, not once per request and not once per load. purego.NewCallback writes into a fixed table of 2000 entries (purego/syscall_sysv.go) and never releases one, so a per-request callback panics the backend process on the 2001st synthesis, and a per-load one reaches the same ceiling on a server that swaps models. Synthesis is routed through that single callback plus a user_data id: engineMu is per-model, one process holds several models, so a single current-sink pointer would be overwritten by two TTS models synthesizing at once. Deviations from the brief, all verified against the real headers and proto: - TTS is TTS(*pb.TTSRequest) error and TTSStream is TTSStream(*pb.TTSRequest, chan []byte) error, per pkg/grpc/interface.go. The brief's context/pb.Result and server-stream forms do not implement the interface. The channel is closed on every path, including the family rejection, because pkg/grpc/server.go blocks on its drain goroutine and an unclosed channel hangs the RPC with the backend lock held. - The callback takes unsafe.Pointer, not uintptr. Converting a uintptr parameter back to a pointer is a checkptr violation that aborts under -race. - resolveSpeaker refuses to turn a negative number into a speaker index. -1 is the C API's "use the default" sentinel, so the brief's rule would have made a request naming an invalid voice synthesize in the default voice instead of being rejected. temperature and cfg_scale each write their override flag as well: magpietts/runtime.cpp reads the float only when the flag is set, so a temperature without it is silently discarded. Also folds in Task 8's review finding on asr.go: the six bare -1 sentinels in loadASR move to an asrDiarConfig builder reusing diarGeometryDefault, with specs. src/asr/c_api.cpp applies left_context_frames at >= 0, so a dropped sentinel pins the model geometry to 0 and no layout assertion can see it.

The pair comes from the source_language / target_language model options, with an optional leading [src->tgt] directive as the only per-request override, and PredictStream emits the whole translation as a single chunk because the C API has nothing finer to give it. Both RPCs wrap their body in withEngine so the family check and the C calls that trust the handle share one acquisition of engineMu. PredictStream closes its channel on every path, including the family rejection: this is the legacy streaming contract, and pkg/grpc/server.go blocks on a drain goroutine that only finishes when the channel closes, so leaving it open hangs the RPC rather than failing it. nmtTranslatorConfig is extracted so its four adjacent pointer fields can be asserted against distinct sentinels. Transposing two of them changes neither the struct size nor any field offset, so the layout assertions cannot see it. Also removes goString, which had no production caller: every string-returning symbol in abi.go is bound with a Go string return that purego converts itself.

The justification on the regex was also wrong and is corrected: pt-br and zh-cn are two segments and parse either way. It is the single-field form that needs the run. Renames the NMT handle to n.nmt so it stops sharing a name with the translator interface, following n.synth, which is shortened for the same reason. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(nemo-speech-cpp): register the backend and give its specs a CI job Registers nemo-speech-cpp across every surface .agents/adding-backends.md requires, and adds the CI job its unit suite never had. backend/index.yaml gets the meta backend (capabilities map, no uri), a development meta and 12 image entries. No amd and no intel capability keys: upstream NeMo-Speech.cpp builds ggml with CUDA, Vulkan or Metal only, and SystemState.Capability falls back to "default", so those hosts get the CPU build rather than a tag that does not exist. The nvidia-cuda-* and nvidia-l4t-cuda-* keys are present because getSystemCapabilities() refines an NVIDIA host to them whenever the CUDA directory exists; without them every modern CUDA host and Jetson would miss the map and quietly run on CPU. .github/backend-matrix.yml gets 7 include rows and 1 includeDarwin row. No hipblas and no sycl rows, for the same upstream reason. cpu and vulkan are per-arch pairs sharing a tag-suffix so backend-merge-jobs builds a multi-arch manifest: an ARM host with no NVIDIA GPU reports "default" and the Jetson image does not cover it. The CI job is the substantive part. make test-extra is dead on master, because prepare-test-extra depends on a protogen-python target that does not exist and no workflow invokes it anyway, so the entry added earlier in this series ran nowhere. abi_test.go asserts the size and field offsets of every Go mirror struct against the C ABI it is dlopened into, and those assertions are the only defence against silent memory corruption after a purego symbol rename or an upstream header change. tests-nemo-speech-cpp in test-extra.yml now executes them on pull_request and on master, gated on the backend's own path filter. The recipe sets NEMO_SPEECH_REQUIRE_LIBS=1, so a missing library fails rather than skips. WITH_NORM=OFF skips the OpenFST leg and costs no coverage: nothing in the four C ABI headers is conditional on it, so the layouts are identical. Also registers the upstream pin with the bump bot, which the backend Makefile already claimed but was never wired up, and adds the BackendCapabilities entry so a hand-written model config gets a real usecase surface. PossibleUsecases is the union of the four families and DefaultUsecases is transcript alone, the audio-cpp pattern. No VoiceCloning key: MagpieTTS synthesizes from baked speaker ids, not a reference clip. No gallery entries: publishing converted GGUFs is a follow-up. ModelIdentity needs no work in this backend. main.go serves through grpc.StartServer, so every RPC lands on pkg/grpc's shared server wrapper first, and checkModelIdentity is the first statement of all seven handlers this backend implements. A second check inside NemoSpeech would be unreachable and would risk diverging from the cross-language sentinel the router matches on. AudioTranscriptionLive stays unguarded because TranscriptLiveRequest carries no ModelIdentity field at all, which is a proto-level gap affecting every backend and needs its own change.

A Jetson whose CUDA 13 runtime is present reports that capability and would have pulled an image with no libcudart.so.12 to dlopen, failing hard at load. That is worse than omitting the key: with no key Capability() falls back to "default" and the host gets a working CPU build. Fixed the way parakeet-cpp and moss-transcribe-cpp already do it, by shipping the second L4T image rather than dropping the key. Nothing prevents building it here: those peers use plain ubuntu:24.04 on ubuntu-24.04-arm with the same Dockerfile.golang as this backend's other rows, and every package in the nemo-speech-cpp apt gate exists on noble arm64. Adds the -nvidia-l4t-cuda-13-arm64-nemo-speech-cpp matrix row and its two index entries, repoints the key on both metas, and rewrites the capability-map comment, which had the reasoning backwards. Also adds the documentary inferBackendPath branch, matching all six sibling *-cpp Go backends. Behaviour is unchanged; the generic golang fallthrough already resolved this backend correctly. The previous commit message said "all seven handlers" of the shared gRPC wrapper. There are eight RPC entry points: seven are guarded by checkModelIdentity and AudioTranscriptionLive is the unguarded eighth, which that message already called out separately. Wording only.

The page covers the architecture-to-family table, every option key with a model YAML per family, the translation prefix directive, the acceleration matrix, and the four limitations this backend ships with: Linux-only inverse text normalization, suppressed interim streaming results, the library's default translation context and generation limits, and the absence of gallery entries. knownPrefOnlyBackends gains the backend so it appears in the /import-model dropdown. It stays preference-only and AutoDetect=false: general.architecture lives inside the GGUF where no remote-repo probe can read it, and a translation model carries an ordinary LLM architecture with no NeMo-specific marker. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(nemo-speech-cpp): correct the translation limits, the macOS gap and the TTS conversion Three factual errors found in review, all of them the kind a user would act on. The translation limits were described backwards. Input longer than the 1024-token context is rejected, not truncated: translator.cpp throws "nmt: prompt too long (N tokens) for context 1024", which reaches the caller as a failed request. What is silently cut is the output, by the max_new_tokens loop at 256. The bullet now separates the two and says which one fails quietly. The macOS gap covers TTS text normalization as well. Both directions sit behind the single NEMO_SPEECH_WITH_NORM flag, which the Makefile forces off on Darwin, so tn_dir is as inert there as itn_dir. Neither fails the load: both warn and carry on. pnc_model really is unaffected, since punctuation is compiled in unconditionally. The tn_dir row in the option reference gained the caveat the itn_dir row already had. The TTS conversion procedure produced a model that could not load. It converted MagpieTTS and stopped, leaving no NanoCodec, which the same page lists as required; following it gave "no NanoCodec GGUF found next to ...". Both halves are now there, each with the download that feeds it, so the block runs top to bottom on a clean machine. Also: any negative gpu value pins TTS to the CPU, not only -1, and FLAG_CHAT additionally surfaces the model in the web UI chat picker. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): map every C status, not just the NMT one INVALID_ARGUMENT was translated to codes.InvalidArgument at exactly one of sixteen C call sites. Everywhere else a non-zero status collapsed to codes.Internal, so the same backend answered an unsupported language pair with HTTP 400 and an unknown TTS voice, which is the same class of caller mistake against the same process, with HTTP 500. Status 4 is CANCELLED on the ASR and TTS surfaces and was reported as a backend failure rather than as the consumer having stopped listening. asr.h, tts.h and nmt.h each declare their own status enum and diar.h reuses the ASR one; the values they share agree, and the single divergence is that NMT declares no CANCELLED because nemo_speech_nmt_translate has no callback for a consumer to stop with. That is an absence, not a disagreement, so one table serves all three. status.go carries it, with the header line numbers and a note that a pin bump has to recheck it: purego binds by name and the status crosses as a bare int32, so nothing in the build or the linker can see a drift. New specs cover the whole enum, unknown values, and one real INVALID_ARGUMENT per family driven through the shared objects rather than through the Go mapping asserting against itself. Also add UsecaseChat to this backend's capability entry, which the docs already told operators to set for translation models. chat is a gallery filter key and completion is not, so GET /api/backends/usecases would have greyed the Chat filter out and hidden a Riva-Translate gallery entry from the one filter that fits it. The flag gates no endpoint; it makes the model eligible as the default chat model and puts it in the web UI chat picker, both of which Predict and PredictStream already serve. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): audit the gosec unsafe and file-inclusion sites gosec flags 13 alerts on this backend: one G304 and twelve G103. Each was checked individually rather than blanket-suppressed, and each annotation states what makes that particular site safe. The G304 at audio.go is a false positive. The opened path is filepath.Join of a directory the function just created with os.MkdirTemp and a constant basename; the request-controlled path is the input to AudioToWav and never reaches the open. The twelve G103 sites are the package's three established shapes, and every one was verified against them: cstr and pinPtr take the address of something pinned on the line above and return it one-way (nothing in the package converts either result back, which is what keeps checkptr out of it under -race), and each *Create hands C a stack-local POD config whose uintptr members are cstr allocations or pinPtr addresses held by a pinner the loader unpins only after the call. The two slice-building sites are bounded by construction: DiarSegments is handed exactly len(buf) with the buffer sized under maxDiarSegments and a reported count larger than it rejected rather than sliced to, and the TTS callback copies out a slice whose length is the length the runtime declared for that buffer. Separately, sampleRateOf gets a real fix rather than an annotation. go-audio reads the WAV header's sample rate from an unsigned 32-bit field into an int, so a header claiming more than 2^31-1 passed the "> 0" test and then narrowed to a NEGATIVE rate, which the runtime would take as a resampling ratio. AudioToWav cannot produce one today, but that is a property of another package and this function exists precisely because the rate is read back rather than assumed, so the bound is enforced here and pinned by a spec. The four remaining integer narrowings are annotated with the bound that makes each safe: the WAV payload length is already checked against maxWAVDataBytes, the speaker count is bounded by maxDiarSegments, and the two segment ids are the proto's own int32 wire type. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): skip the CUDA-only ggml patch series on darwin The macOS backend build died in patch-ggml: scripts/apply-ggml-patches.sh: line 56: mapfile: command not found make[1]: *** [patch-ggml] Error 127 mapfile is a bash 4 builtin (and its -d flag needs 4.4). macOS ships bash 3.2.57 as /bin/bash and GitHub's runner images add no newer one, so the bare `bash` the recipe resolves from PATH cannot run upstream's script. Rather than hunt for a capable bash that the runner does not have, drop the step where it does nothing. ggml-patches/ is a CUDA series: every kernel it adds is under src/ggml-cuda/, and its whole footprint outside that directory is an op enum plus prototype in include/ggml.h, the constructor and a name-table entry in src/ggml.c, and two ggml-cpu lines that make the CUDA-only op report unsupported and abort. Nothing it touches is compiled into a Metal kernel or changes a CPU one. The project's own references to patch-only ggml symbols sit behind NEMO_SPEECH_FUSED_RELPOS_ATTN and NEMO_SPEECH_FASTCONFORMER_CUDA_FUSIONS, which cmake already forces OFF without GGML_CUDA, or behind NEMO_SPEECH_GGML_PATCHED itself, which guards a GGML_TENSOR_FLAG_Q8_PLANAR write that a non-CUDA buffer throws before reaching. So passing NEMO_SPEECH_GGML_PATCHED=OFF costs the Metal build nothing, and it is required once the series is skipped: that flag is what stops the ASR sources referencing a tensor flag stock ggml does not define. This is upstream's own Metal configuration. Its metal-* and vulkan-* CMake presets inherit the cpu-* ones, which set NEMO_SPEECH_GGML_PATCHED to OFF; docker/Dockerfile and scripts/windows/build.ps1 do the same for their non-CUDA targets. LocalAI's Makefile never passed the flag at all and so inherited the CUDA default everywhere. Linux is untouched and keeps applying the series, including its idempotency and its hard failure on a patch that does not apply. The gate is the same uname test the WITH_NORM block above already uses, and both branches keep the order-only clone prerequisite, which on a WITH_NORM=OFF tree is the only thing that pulls sources/ in. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5[1m] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(nemo-speech-cpp): restore std::binary_function for MeCab on libc++ NEMO_SPEECH_TTS_WITH_JA=ON compiles Open JTalk's bundled MeCab, and mecab/src/dictionary.cpp derives a comparator from std::binary_function, which C++17 removed. libstdc++ still ships it as deprecated-but-present under -std=gnu++17, so Linux never notices. libc++ compiles it out and the macOS arm64 build dies with "no template named 'binary_function' in namespace 'std'". This is ours, not an upstream regression: upstream defaults both NEMO_SPEECH_TTS_WITH_JA and NEMO_SPEECH_TTS_WITH_ZH to OFF and the OSS drop carries no CI at all, so that target is never built there. Upstream does already carry the equivalent workaround for MSVC's STL (_HAS_AUTO_PTR_ETC plus /FIfunctional) but has no libc++ branch. libc++ gates the two templates on _LIBCPP_ENABLE_CXX17_REMOVED_UNARY_BINARY_FUNCTION, and has since LLVM 16, older than any clang Xcode still ships. The name is the whole problem: _LIBCPP_ENABLE_CXX17_REMOVED_BINDERS covers bind1st, bind2nd, ptr_fun and mem_fun and not unary_function or binary_function, and the umbrella _LIBCPP_ENABLE_CXX17_REMOVED_FEATURES no longer exists in libcxx at all. A wrong name preprocesses fine and fixes nothing. Applied through CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS rather than to the one target, because the tokenizer CMakeLists is upstream's and sources/ is a pinned checkout. Project-wide is also the safer scope: the macro decides whether libc++'s internal __binary_function alias resolves to std::binary_function or to __binary_function_keep_layout_base, a base class of std::less and friends, so defining it for a subset of translation units would give those class templates two spellings in one binary. Both bases are empty and, at C++17, carry identical members, so the define changes no layout and no ABI. Darwin only. On Linux the branch is unreachable and the macro is not a name libstdc++ knows, so it would be inert even if taken; a Linux configure with the flag forced on puts it on all 23 C++ TUs of nemo_speech_openjtalk_frontend including dictionary.cpp at -std=gnu++17, and on none of the 16 C TUs. Mandarin needs nothing: cppjieba v5.6.7 and limonp have no removed C++17 constructs left (limonp replaced std::not1 and std::bind2nd with lambdas) and cppjieba's own CI builds macos-14 and macos-latest at C++11 through C++20.

No C++ standard allows that, so the line is ill-formed everywhere; it survived because nothing instantiates FstImpl::operator= and gcc up to 13 only checks a template member's body when it is instantiated. gcc 14 resolves non-dependent operator expressions at template definition time, so it rejects the line in any translation unit that includes <fst/fst.h>. The CI diagnostic confirms the phase: it reads "In member function", not "In instantiation of", and carries no instantiation backtrace. That is why this surfaces only here. build_itn_deps.sh compiles OpenFST with gcc-12 and upstream's own images build the runtime with gcc-13, so neither compiler reaches the check; backend/Dockerfile.golang installs gcc-14 and promotes it with update-alternatives, and fst_normalizer.cpp is the one translation unit in this backend that includes OpenFST. Fix it in the installed ITN prefix, which is the only copy the cmake build compiles against, using the same .reset() spelling FstImpl::SetInputSymbols already uses for the identical operation. libfst.so is linked before this runs and cannot contain the function, since no compiler could ever have emitted it, so there is no ABI or ODR consequence. The rule is guarded on both sides so a pin bump to a fixed OpenFST fails loudly rather than silently no-opping. Verified with a real gcc 14.2: the CI error reproduces byte for byte from a file whose entire content is '#include <fst/fst.h>', and gcc 14 reports exactly two errors over the whole OpenFST include closure this backend uses, both of them these two lines. After the patch that closure compiles clean under gcc-14 with the target's own flags. The step is reachable only under WITH_NORM=ON, so 'make -n stage-libs WITH_NORM=OFF' mentions neither it nor the ITN build, and darwin, which defaults WITH_NORM to OFF, never evaluates it.

Upstream opens with cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.26). That base image is Ubuntu 22.04 jammy, whose apt cmake is 3.22.1, so configure aborts before it reads a single one of the backend's -D flags. Every other Linux row in this block is noble, which ships 3.28 and clears the bar, so the failure is one base image wide rather than a code problem. Everything before it on that row had already worked, including the OpenFST and Sparrowhawk ITN build. No other Go backend needs this. parakeet-cpp and moss-transcribe-cpp share the same JetPack base and both declare cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.18), and nothing in the repo installs a cmake newer than the distro's, so there is no existing pattern to reuse. Nothing depends on jammy's cmake staying 3.22 either: build_itn_deps.sh never invokes cmake at all, since OpenFST and Sparrowhawk are autotools builds. Kitware's release tarball rather than their APT repo or pip. The tarball is a pinned URL with a published checksum, so an upstream release cannot change what lands here. The APT repo does carry jammy arm64, but it serves a moving latest that today is CMake 4.4, and 4.x drops compatibility with cmake_minimum_required below 3.5, which vendored third_party subprojects still declare; pinning it there would mean tracking Kitware's Debian revision string instead of an upstream version. pip would drag a Python toolchain into a backend that has none. 3.31.12 is the last 3.x release, so it clears 3.26 while keeping the CMake 3 policy surface, and it stays close to the 3.28 the green noble rows already use. The binaries need only glibc 2.17 and carry no libstdc++ DT_NEEDED, well under jammy's 2.35. doc/, man/, ccmake and cmake-gui are not extracted; the final image is FROM scratch, but there is no reason to page 100 MB of Qt GUI and docs through the CI cache. Gated on the installed cmake actually being older than 3.26, so the rows that already build green keep configuring with exactly the cmake they use today, and folded into the existing ${BACKEND} block rather than added as a new instruction, so no other Go backend image gains a layer and nothing above the Vulkan SDK, CUDA, Go and protoc layers moves. The symlink lands in /usr/local/bin and shadows apt's cmake. Unlike the protoc shadowing that broke Sparrowhawk earlier in this series that is inert: protoc has to agree with the libprotobuf headers it generates against, whereas cmake links nothing into the product and has no ABI relationship with anything in the image, and it resolves the symlink back to /opt to find its own Modules/ tree, so a 3.31 binary can never read 3.22's modules. The version test avoids $(...) deliberately. BuildKit delivers a RUN heredoc through an outer shell with an unquoted delimiter, so a command substitution runs there, too early, in a container where the files it reads do not exist yet, and its empty output is pasted into the script; the first draft took the install branch on every row because of it. Verified by building the block against nvcr.io/nvidia/l4t-jetpack:r36.4.0 arm64 under qemu, the row's actual base image: cmake 3.22.1 detected, tarball checksum verified, 3.31.12 installed, and a cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.26) project configures with -G Ninja and builds, with CMAKE_ROOT resolving to /opt/cmake/share/cmake-3.31. Same on ubuntu:22.04 amd64 and arm64. ubuntu:24.04 skips the install, gains no /opt/cmake and still configures on /usr/share/cmake-3.28. The NeMo-Speech.cpp compile itself on JetPack CUDA 12 is not reproducible here and remains for CI.

3 people	d0119bf62c	feat(chat): local-ai chat is now a terminal agent (#11291) ... * chore(deps): bump cogito to v0.11 ahead of the nib harness nib is the agent harness that becomes 'local-ai chat'. It requires cogito v0.11, so pull that bump forward on its own: minimal version selection would apply it to LocalAI anyway, and both repos use cogito and cogito/clients. Landing it separately keeps the harness change reviewable. nib itself is not pinned yet. Nothing in LocalAI imports it, and 'go mod tidy' runs as a goreleaser before-hook in CI, so an unimported require line does not survive. It lands with its first importer. No LocalAI call site needed a change. Both cogito.WithMaxAttempts callers guard the argument above zero, so v0.11's new clamp is unreachable, and LocalAI's Multimedia values implement only URL(), so v0.11's new TypedMultimedia routing treats them as images exactly as v0.10 did.

The normal error handler sends an OpenAI error envelope, which arrives as *openai.APIError; the opaque-errors handler replies with a bare status and no body, which arrives as *openai.RequestError. Classifying on only one of them misses half the cases, so the status is read from either. A cancelled probe is not reported as an unreachable server, because it learned nothing about the endpoint, and neither is a reply that could not be parsed, because something did answer. Both would otherwise send the user off to start a server that may already be running. The model list is returned verbatim and in server order. LocalAI lists whatever it finds in the models directory, including stray archives and dotfiles, and deciding which advertised ids are real belongs to whoever presents them.

The REPL goes with it. Its model listing and its 401 classifier were duplicates of the ones Probe now owns, and the classifier was the version that misreads a bare 401 with no OpenAI error envelope, so keeping either would leave the package with two divergent answers to the same question. github.com/mudler/nib lands in go.mod in this commit rather than earlier: go mod tidy runs as a goreleaser before-hook on every PR, so a require line with no importer is stripped before it reaches CI.

The questions move onto one prompter that owns its buffered reader. A fresh bufio.Reader per question reads ahead and discards what it buffered, so the model choice typed behind an answer to "start a server?" was lost and the next question saw EOF. choose answers with a list index and refuses an empty offer, so a value that was never on the list cannot reach ResolveModel, which persists it and starts every later run against it.

The budget is context.WithTimeout rather than a cancel plus a timer. Probe deliberately refuses to call an endpoint unreachable on a context.Canceled, since a caller who gave up learned nothing about the server, and only honours a deadline. A cancel-based budget therefore expires as the one error that suppresses ErrUnreachable, exactly for the hung servers the offer exists to rescue.

When saving it fails the user is silently asked again on the next run, and the only trace was an xlog.Warn: the agent runs at log level error, and a --log-level=error run swallows it entirely. ModelRequest gains Notify for exactly this class of problem, one that is worth telling the user about but not worth failing over, and the chat wiring points it at the same writer the question was asked on.

Ctrl+C was already safe, but only incidentally, because the child shares this process' foreground process group. A signal handler rather than Pdeathsig on the child. Pdeathsig is Linux-only and, in Go, is delivered when the OS thread that forked exits rather than when the process does, so it can fire on a healthy parent. Setpgid would break the Ctrl+C that works today by taking the child out of the foreground group. SIGHUP joins SIGINT and SIGTERM: a terminal program whose terminal is gone has nobody left to talk to. The same context is what cancels the agent, which nib leaves to its embedder.

Every 'mcp ...' invocation counted as management, so 'local-ai chat mcp --stdio', which serves the agent over MCP and needs a model like any other session, was handed an empty one. And --init, whose shell snippet a user pastes into an rc file long before any server exists, went the other way: it demanded a running server to print a static string. The mcp split is asked of nib's own IsMCPManageSubcommand rather than restated here, so a verb added upstream cannot drift out of this list.

The refusal to render the full-screen interface into a pipe is the one they meet in practice: it names --cli, and burying that hides the fix. ExitCodeError says "already reported, exit with this status". main honours it and prints nothing more, so a piped or redirected chat still fails a script the way it should.

SIGHUP has no such backstop, and registering for it removed the default disposition that used to end the process outright, so kill -HUP left a live TUI with a cancelled context and the started server still running. runSession watches the context alongside the agent and stops the server the moment it is cancelled, so the guarantee no longer depends on what the agent does with cancellation. Stop is idempotent, so the deferred call stays correct and free. The doc comment on shutdownContext described the mechanism it was supposed to work by rather than the one that does. Corrected, bubbletea's handler included. ResolveModel now checks the chooser's answer against what it offered. The shipped chooser answers by list index and cannot be wrong, but ModelChooser is exported, the answer is persisted, and every later run starts against it, so the invariant belongs at the consumer. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * chore(chat): bump nib to v0.5.1 v0.5.1 carries four fixes that matter to 'local-ai chat': - --init now names the embedder's command, so the emitted widget invokes 'local-ai chat' rather than a bare 'nib' the user does not have. - A piped CLI session that succeeds exits 0 instead of failing with EOF. - EOF at a tool-approval prompt denies the call rather than approving it, and the session exits 3 (app.ExitCodeApprovalNoInput) so a script can tell "answered" from "refused to act" without reading stdout. Read-only tools are unaffected and still run. ExitStatus already unwraps app.ExitError, so the code propagates with no change here. - RunTUI passes the context to bubbletea and gives up bubbletea's own signal handler, which makes shutdownContext the single owner of the signal and stops a SIGHUP leaving a wedged TUI behind. Verified against a live server on 127.0.0.1:8080: the three --init shells, a piped prompt exiting 0, a denied 'touch' that left no file and exited 3, a read-only 'ls' that still ran and exited 0, and a SIGHUP that unwound a TUI running under a pty. Two comment blocks in run.go described the old TUI behavior and are now wrong, so they are corrected in the same change. No behavior change: both shutdownContext and runSession are untouched, and stopping the server on cancellation is still worth keeping independent of how promptly nib unwinds. One known gap, not addressed here. The widget --init now emits runs 'output=$(local-ai chat --height 50%)', and runAgent injects Stdout unconditionally, so under $(...) nib refuses the TUI for a non-terminal stream. This is the cost the runAgent comment already anticipated, now that the snippets no longer hardcode standalone nib. Ctrl+Space should not be documented until that is decided. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): let nib own stdout, so the Ctrl+Space widget works The widget 'local-ai chat --init' emits runs 'output=$(local-ai chat --height 50%)', which puts a pipe on stdout by construction. runAgent injected os.Stdout unconditionally, and nib refuses every mode but --cli when a stream it was handed is not a terminal, so Ctrl+Space printed "Re-run with --cli to use the injected streams" and inserted nothing. Verified against a pty before and after. nib reads a nil stream as "not injected" and falls back to the process stream, which is how an embedder asks for nib's own behavior. That is what stdout needs: the interface renders on /dev/tty but writes the chosen command to stdout even when stdout is a pipe, and that write is the whole of the shell-capture idiom. Stdin is deliberately left injected. A piped or redirected stdin really is ignored by the interface, so the refusal is the honest answer there, and it is the one users meet: 'echo q | local-ai chat' still says to re-run with --cli, once, exit 1. Nilling stdin the way stdout is nilled would delete that silently. Stderr is not gated by nib at all and is unchanged. One case does change and cannot be kept: 'local-ai chat > out.txt' from a terminal no longer refuses, because it is indistinguishable from the widget. It renders on /dev/tty and writes the capture line to the file, which is what standalone nib does. The app.Options literal moves into agentOptions so the decision is reachable from a spec rather than being a detail of a function that takes the terminal. Both sides of the asymmetry are pinned: reinstating 'Stdout: opts.Out' fails "hands nib nothing for the process stdout", and nilling stdin fails "hands the process stdin over". Also rewrites the last comments describing the pre-v0.5.1 behavior. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * docs(chat): say what the stream refusal actually keys on Two comments still called it the refusal to render the interface "into a pipe". That was true when both stdin and stdout were injected, but a pipe on stdout no longer refuses, so the wording now points at precisely the case that was un-refused to make Ctrl+Space work. Only a stdin that cannot be read triggers it, and both comments now say so and name the command a user meets it with, 'echo q | local-ai chat'. The agentOptions doc also said a "file a caller chose" stays injected and refused, which reads as though 'local-ai chat > out.txt' still refuses. It does not: a shell redirect arrives as os.Stdout and is nil-ed like the widget's pipe, because the two differ only in being a regular file rather than a FIFO and nib's gate does not look at that. What stays injected is a writer an in-process caller chose for itself. Says that now, in the doc and in the spec comment that had the same ambiguity. Comments only. No behavior change.

Adds a Terminal agent feature page at /features/terminal-agent covering the approval gate, piped runs and their exit codes, Ctrl+Space, model resolution, state directory, and the pass-through management commands (including the `--yes` caveat that leaves a plugin installed but disabled in a script). The three-way "looking for something else" notice becomes four-way and moves into an agentic-routing shortcode. Four hand-kept copies of the same paragraph is what produced the drift the new page would otherwise have added to; the shortcode takes `current=` so each page still marks itself, and errors the build on a name that is not one of the four. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * website: the agent is in the binary, not a second install The nib section sold a separate tool you also install, with a GitHub link as the only way in, which is now the wrong order: the agent ships compiled into local-ai, and the standalone binary is the second reason to care rather than the first. Leads with `local-ai chat`, keeps nib as the SSH-anywhere story, and adds a docs CTA pointing at the new Terminal agent page. id="nib" is left alone because localai.io/#nib is linked from outside. The two credits on the demo clip named nib as the thing that drove the machine; they now credit the agent in LocalAI, which is the same agent. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * website: fix the exit keys, the plugin warning, and the redirect gap Three claims on the chat-agent pages that the code does not back. try-it-out told readers to press Ctrl+D. nib has no Ctrl+D handler: the full-screen interface quits on Esc or Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+D is only an exit in --cli, where it arrives as ordinary tty EOF. That sentence had replaced the removed /exit and /quit text, so the page was left with no working way to leave a session. Document both modes, since they differ. The plugin warning said nothing tells you the install stopped short. It does: the command prints that the plugin was left disabled. What it does not do is say so in its exit code, which is 0 either way. That is the part a script cannot work around, and it is the reason to pass --yes. Overstating it in the paragraph that gives the advice only makes the advice easier to dismiss. Redirecting stdout no longer refuses; the interface goes to /dev/tty and only the yanked command reaches the file. It is what lets the Ctrl+Space widget capture a command at all, since a redirect and out=$(...) are the same thing to the stream gate. It was documented nowhere. A non-terminal stdin is still refused, and the new text says which of the two it is. Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-opus-5 [Bash] [Edit] [Write] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(chat): make the CLI flags outrank the agent config file local-ai chat routed --endpoint, --model, --api-key, --trace-dir and --yolo through nib's app.Options.Defaults. Defaults are seeds: they sit beneath the config file, so the file silently undoes them. That made the flags accepted and inert, and not in an edge case, since EnsureStateDir writes base_url on the first run and the interactive picker writes model, so from the second run on the file carried a value for both. Observed against a live server: with base_url: http://127.0.0.1:9999/v1 in the config and --endpoint http://127.0.0.1:8080 on the command line, the probe hit 8080 and every agent turn posted to 9999. With model: gemma-4-e2b-it-qat-q4_0 in the config, --model lfm2.5-8b-a1b was ignored on the wire. nib v0.6.0 adds app.Options.Overrides, applied above the config file and above the bare environment block. Move the whole block there: all five values are decisions this invocation already made on the user's behalf, and a flag the config file can undo is not a flag. Nothing is left in Defaults, because LocalAI's one genuine seed, the initial base_url, is written into the config file by EnsureStateDir rather than handed to nib. Two limits come with the channel and are documented on agentOptions rather than worked around. An override can only raise a field, since nib cannot tell "set to the zero value" from "not set", so --yolo can turn approval off but nothing on the command line turns it back on over an approval_mode: auto in the file. And nib's own NIB_TRACE_DIR and NIB_YOLO are resolved after the config load and still outrank these, deliberately, upstream. The existing spec pinned that the right values reach app.Options, which they always did, which is exactly why it could not see nib discarding them. The new specs resolve the config the way app.Run resolves it, against a real config file that disagrees with every flag, and one asserts Defaults stays empty. docs/content/features/terminal-agent.md already documented --model as winning over the saved model; that was false before this change and is true now, so no docs edit was needed.

Set BUILD_WITH_INSTALL_RPATH on the target so a package that forgets to bundle libggml*.so fails on the build machine too, instead of only on a user's box. Also document why EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL must stay on the add_subdirectory call, correct the claim that Ubuntu ships no gRPC CMake config, stop the pin comment from repeating the assignment token that bump_deps.sh rewrites, and make test-engine fail rather than pass when no test is registered.

Parse with strtol and reject on ERANGE, on a value above INT_MAX, and on any unconsumed trailing input. The error strings are unchanged. Name the whole entry in the unknown-key error too: an entry like ':value' has an empty key and left the user nothing to grep for in their YAML. Tests look keys up through a helper instead of map::at, so a prefix off-by-one fails one named check rather than aborting the binary and skipping the rest of the suite, and cover the overflow, negative and non-numeric paths.

Emit 'spk', keep 'spkrec' as an input-only alias, and correct the known-tasks lists. Three assertions were vacuous because their fixtures advertised a single task, so reversing a preference order or dropping the RPC name and the attempted pairs from the capability error all passed. Give them fixtures that can tell the orderings apart.

Its guard covered only the low side, so NaN and out-of-range values fell through to an undefined double-to-int64 cast and came back as INT64_MIN. A hugely negative sample index used later as an offset or a length is a wild pointer rather than merely a wrong timestamp. Reject NaN with the !(x > 0) form and saturate before the cast. Also round instead of truncating there. These functions exist to cross the float seconds boundary the VAD and diarize messages use, and truncation lost a sample about half the time on the samples-to-seconds-and-back round trip, starting at n=1. Pin the decode scale at INT16_MIN, pin nanosecond truncation on a nonzero fraction, and record why the clamp argument order in f32_to_s16le is load-bearing for NaN. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): map NaN PCM samples to silence explicitly f32_to_s16le relied on std::min argument order to keep a NaN sample away from std::lround, whose result is unspecified for NaN. That was too subtle to rest on a comment, and the comment was itself wrong: it warned against a spelling that the outer std::max already catches, while three real spellings leak, including std::clamp, which is the idiomatic C++17 way to write the same clamp and so the likeliest future edit. Divert NaN before the clamp and encode it as 0. A NaN sample rendered as a full-scale click is worse audio than a dropped one, and this unit converts audio that may have originated off the wire. Pin it with an exact-value check rather than a range check, since all three outcomes the plausible spellings produce are finite and inside full scale, plus an invalid-operation check that fails unless the NaN is diverted before any ordered comparison. That second check is what catches modernizing the clamp and dropping the guard together. Also bound the seconds round-trip comment, which claimed unconditionally what holds only below roughly 2^23 samples, and document NaN, saturation and that bound in the header. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): assemble transcripts from runtime spans The top-level transcript text is TaskResult.text_output verbatim. audio.cpp carries text nowhere else: speech_segments, speaker_turns and word_timestamps hold spans and labels only, so deriving the text from them empties the transcript for any producer that omits word timing, VibeVoice diarized ASR included. Fixtures cover every observed producer shape.

A turn's overlap with its own span is the largest possible, so a turn nested inside another speaker's turn could only tie with the container, and the tie went to whichever came first. sortformer_diar binarizes each speaker independently and sorts by start sample, so the container always comes first and the interjecting speaker was silently erased from DiarizeSegment.speaker. choose_segment_spans now carries the label out with the span. Also pins the nearest-segment fallback against measuring from either endpoint or from segment position, which a trailing-only stray word could not do, and exercises the empty-word guard in join_words. Two fixtures that pin a rule but do not mirror any pinned family are relabelled defensive.

Callers waiting past the configured bound, or arriving while the holder has already overrun it, fail fast instead. A caller that queues behind a healthy run deliberately does not stamp the clock: only the thread that takes the lock does. Stamping on arrival would restart the wedge clock on every request and hide a stuck run from everyone behind it, which is the pile-up this guard exists to prevent. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): serialize inference through an InferenceLane One audio.cpp model is loaded per backend process and its sessions are not reentrant, so concurrent gRPC handlers have to take turns. Serialization alone is not enough: a wedged GPU call cannot be cancelled from userspace, so an unbounded queue behind one stuck run would swallow every gRPC worker thread until the process is useless. InferenceLane gives handlers a lane with room for one runner. LaneEntry occupies it for a scope and gives it back on every exit, including an exception, and is the only way to take the lane at all: occupy/vacate are private with LaneEntry as the sole friend, so a caller cannot acquire without holding something that releases. LaneEntry is immovable on purpose, because a moved-from entry would have to stop releasing while the lane still recorded it as occupied. A caller either waits indefinitely or brings a millisecond budget. A bounded caller that cannot get in fails instead of waiting on, and a bounded caller whose budget is already shorter than the age of the run in the lane fails immediately, which is what stops a queue forming behind a wedged run. The two failures carry different text: one names the wait it exhausted, the other states the measured age of the run without claiming to know why it is long, since a short budget meeting a legitimately long run lands there too. The run's age is stamped only after acquisition. A waiter that published itself as holder would restart the measurement and hide a genuinely stuck holder from every caller behind it. Budget negotiation and the overrun decision are pure functions taking their inputs explicitly, so both are covered without threads or sleeping. The per-model ceiling arrives as an int of milliseconds; a request may tighten it and may never loosen it. Replaces the previous run_guard unit, which was a derivative of an Apache-2.0 file upstream and could not stay in an MIT tree. Written from a behaviour contract with no reference to the removed code. Tests: 65 checks, standard library only, single translation unit, clean under -Wall -Wextra. Mutation tested at 23/23 killed; two of those mutants exposed missing coverage and the tests were extended until they died. ThreadSanitizer clean. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): make the B10 test able to fail, and document LaneEntry Review of the previous commit found the B10 test could not fail for the reason it was named. It aged the in-flight run to about 120 ms and then tried two budgets, 30 ms and 60 ms, both under that age, so both callers took the fail-fast path. "The two failure modes do not share one message" was comparing two fail-fast messages that differ only in the budget they print, and the timeout path was never reached. The second budget is now 400 ms, well over the run's age, so that caller queues and times out, and a new check asserts which path each caller took instead of inferring it from inequality. A mutant that makes the fail-fast path emit the timeout message previously died only on B4 and B8 checks; it now also dies on B10. Comment-only changes elsewhere. LaneEntry now says it is not reentrant and does not detect reentrancy: a second entry on a thread that already holds the lane surfaces as LaneUnavailable with a positive budget, but parks silently in unbounded mode, which matters because a handler may hold one across a whole stream. The immovability note now names the shapes that work, an optional emplaced in place or a unique_ptr, rather than saying to hold the entry indirectly without saying how; all three documented forms were compiled before being written down, which is how the note came to say that an optional of an immovable type cannot itself be returned. The header's explanation of why fail-fast exists is reworded. Two clauses traced back to a specification written after reading the Apache-2.0 upstream header, and while that was judged de minimis, this unit was rewritten precisely to carry no upstream expression at all. The margin table in the report was also wrong about which wall-clock margins are load-sensitive: there are four, not one, and the tightest is the B3 arrival check, which is now flagged at the call site.

Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): load models and cache sessions per task Loads one ILoadedVoiceModel and creates an IVoiceTaskSession lazily per (task, mode), so the same model serves both the unary and streaming RPCs. LoadModel derives the family from GGUF metadata or an explicit option and fails with INVALID_ARGUMENT otherwise, so a failed load is a gRPC error the backend probe can see. audiocpp_backend::Task mirrors engine::runtime::VoiceTaskKind positionally, and drift there is silent: every unit still compiles and every test still passes while the backend runs a different task. Two mechanisms pin it. The static_asserts in loaded_model.cpp catch an insertion or a reorder, and -Werror=switch on that one file turns an appended upstream enumerator into a build failure rather than a warning in a 600 file log. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): stop aborting the process on SIGTERM The signal handler called grpc::Server::Shutdown directly. Shutdown takes an absl::Mutex, which is not async-signal-safe: the handler can interrupt a thread already holding that mutex, and abseil's deadlock detector responds by aborting. Every SIGTERM therefore ended in exit 134 and a 'dying due to potential deadlock' stack rather than a drained shutdown. The handler now sets a lock-free atomic and returns. Server::Wait moves to a helper thread so the main thread can poll that flag and call Shutdown itself, outside any signal context. A condition variable would not have helped, because notifying one from a handler is not async-signal-safe either. SIGTERM and SIGINT both exit 0 with no stack trace, where both previously exited 134. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): correct the status, lifetime and state contracts of LoadedModel An environment fault during session creation was reported as UNIMPLEMENTED. A missing libggml-cpu-*.so surfaced to the client as 'family silero_vad advertises vad/offline but refused to create the session: Failed to initialize CPU backend', which tells LocalAI the model cannot do this and must never be retried, and sends an operator hunting a capability bug instead of a packaging one. A throw from create_task_session is now a plain runtime_error, so it maps to INTERNAL. Only a null return, where the family genuinely declined, stays a CapabilityError. The model.'s task: option was parsed and then dropped: it lived in a local that died at the end of LoadModel and had no route to RequestShape::pinned_task. LoadedModel now keeps it and exposes pinned_task(). The global model becomes a shared_ptr reached through snapshot(). An audio RPC runs for seconds and cannot hold g_model_mu for its duration, so under a unique_ptr a Free arriving mid-request would destroy the model underneath it. Handlers now take a counted reference and whichever finishes last does the teardown, outside the lock. session_for documents the streaming state contract rather than resetting the session itself. Resetting on a cache hit was tried first and is not possible: silero_vad throws 'session prepare() must be called before Silero VAD reset()', so it would turn an ordinary second fetch into a hard error. start_stream's base implementation is already a reset, so a caller that runs prepare then start_stream per stream gets a clean session; a probe against the bundled silero_vad confirms an identical replay when it does and a carried-over stream when it does not. Also: an unknown backend: name is rejected before the model loads rather than after; MainGPU is parsed instead of passed through std::atoi, which turned 'gpu1' into device 0 silently; and device carries a device_set flag, because 0 is both the default and a real device index, so MainGPU was overriding an explicit device:0 that the neighbouring threads: handling promises will win. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): serve the VAD and Diarize RPCs Both emit float seconds, converted from the runtime's sample-index spans, and both take a counted reference to the loaded model through snapshot() and hold it for the whole call: a Free arriving mid-request drops only the global's reference, so whichever request finishes last destroys the model instead of one of them running on freed weights. An AddressSanitizer build reproduces exactly that heap-use-after-free inside ggml_vec_dot_f32 when the handler keeps a raw pointer instead, which is why the shape is what it is. The inference lane is taken before session_for, not after. session_for reads and writes an unsynchronised session cache and the offline run calls prepare(), which mutates the session, so both belong inside the lane. Diarize routes before it reads the input file, so a family that cannot diarize at all says so rather than complaining about the audio first. Its per-segment text stays empty because audio.cpp's SpeakerTurn carries a span and a speaker label only, and nested or overlapping turns are passed through untouched: a sortformer turn inside another speaker's turn is correct output for overlapped speech, and LocalAI is overlap-tolerant downstream. Duration counts frames rather than floats, so a stereo input does not report twice its length. Verified end to end against upstream's bundled silero_vad, which needs no download, using the bundled 16 kHz speech asset: a synthetic tone returns nothing, correctly, because silero detects speech and a sine is not speech. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): enforce ModelIdentity on VAD and Diarize audio-cpp was the only C++ backend without the model-identity guard, and no later task in the plan added it. pkg/grpc/server.go enforces checkModelIdentity on exactly these two RPCs, for the reason #10952 records: in distributed mode a worker can recycle a stopped backend's gRPC port for another model's backend, and the controller's liveness-only probe cannot tell a stale cached route from a live one. Without this guard a stale route gets a different model's VAD or diarization answer back with a 200. The loaded identity lives on LoadedModel rather than in a separate global, which is where this differs from llama-cpp. A handler holding the model through snapshot() then necessarily judges against the identity that model was loaded with, and a concurrent reload cannot swap one without the other. The refusal is NOT_FOUND carrying the verbatim grpcerrors.ModelMismatchSentinel substring. session_for and run_offline now take a const LaneEntry & proof-of-holding parameter. The rule that both must run under the inference lane was prose, which is exactly how the plan came to specify the inverted order; it is now a compile error. Restoring the inverted order fails to build rather than racing on an unsynchronised session map with a mutating prepare(). Diarize's speaker-hint comment claimed the dropped hints were "not a silent failure". From the caller's side that is what they are, and backend.proto documents num_speakers as forcing, so the comment now says plainly that the forwarding is dead for sortformer and that the family which lands must either honour num_speakers or refuse it. read_audio_file inspects the error_code from exists(), so an unsearchable parent directory no longer reports as a missing file. The VAD handler records the stimulus that actually works, since silero correctly ignores synthetic tones and the next task would otherwise rediscover that. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): make the lane and identity guards structural Two hardenings ahead of the eleven handlers still to be written, both of which get harder to retrofit later. The lane proof-of-holding parameter was a const reference, which binds to a temporary, so session_for(rpc, shape, model->acquire(0)) compiled. Each such temporary dies at the end of its own full-expression, releasing the lane between two calls that must share one: precisely the split the parameter exists to prevent, and the form a future author is most likely to reach for because it reads as tidy. A non-const reference requires an lvalue, so the temporary form now fails to compile while the named-local handlers build unchanged. The header comment no longer implies the check is total either: it proves a lane was taken, not that it is this model's lane. The identity check was two lines each handler had to remember, with nothing failing if a new one forgot them and no C++ equivalent of model_identity_modalities_test.go to notice. snapshot() becomes snapshot_unchecked(), whose only legitimate caller is Status, since HealthMessage carries no ModelIdentity. Handlers go through snapshot_for(), which takes the counted reference, refuses when nothing is loaded, and runs the identity check before anything can route. Every handler already has to call something to obtain the model, so the guarded call is now the shortest path and skipping it means deliberately typing snapshot_unchecked. A convention that has to be remembered can rot; this cannot. Verified: the temporary-argument and inverted-order forms each fail to compile with the expected diagnostic, the real handlers build, and bypassing the guard in Diarize alone turns the identity test red on that RPC while VAD stays green.

The handler branches on the ROUTED task: for Asr the request's prompt is whisper-style decoding context and becomes a request option, for Alignment the same field IS the transcript to align and becomes the text input. Routing has already decided which. The result text is TaskResult.text_output verbatim and is never derived from the segments. audio.cpp carries transcript text in text_output and nowhere else, so deriving it returns an empty transcript for every producer that reports segments without word timing. transcript_assembly already enforces that; this commit's job is not to undo it at the proto boundary, and result_map_ctest pins it there. read_audio_file now takes the sample rate the caller needs. Both file-fed speech handlers ask for 16 kHz mono, for two reasons: silero_vad and sortformer_diar refuse anything else outright, which turned an ordinary 44.1 kHz upload into INTERNAL, and nemotron_asr emits word timestamps in its own 16 kHz feature domain whatever the input was, so only a 16 kHz buffer makes the emitted nanoseconds right. Zero keeps the file's native rate and channels, which is what source separation will need. LoadedModel::check_can_serve answers a capability refusal before the lane is taken and before the input file is read. Routing is a pure read of the immutable capabilities, so a model that cannot serve an RPC no longer waits out somebody else's run to say so. VAD and Diarize use it too. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): stop linking sentencepiece's vendored protobuf engine_runtime links sentencepiece, whose default SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER builds the protobuf-lite 3.14.0 sources it vendors. The generated backend.pb.cc is built against the toolchain's protobuf 3.21.12. Both ended up in the binary: 476 google::protobuf:: symbols came from the archive, 278 of them also defined by libprotobuf.so, and the archive won, because once ld pulls a member in for sentencepiece's own code every reference binds to the definitions that member carries. The visible symptom is one function. ParseContext::ParseMessage(MessageLite*, const char*) is what a generated _InternalParse calls for a submessage field and for nothing else, so flat messages parsed and nested ones did not: a TranscriptResult carrying segments serialized to correct bytes that the same process could not read back, and TranscriptLiveRequest, a oneof of submessages, could not have been parsed at all. Underneath that, 3.21 generated code was running 3.14 arena, ArenaStringPtr and ExtensionSet code. -Wl,--exclude-libs does not fix it. It makes those symbols LOCAL in .dynsym and the parse still fails, because the binding was decided at static link time and no visibility flag revisits it. Setting SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER to "package" before add_subdirectory points sentencepiece at the protobuf the generated code was already built against. Zero google::protobuf:: definitions remain in the executable afterwards, every nested message round trips, and citrinet_asr, which parses a SentencePiece ModelProto at load time and would break first if this were wrong, still tokenizes and transcribes correctly. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): fix the segment text a transcription response is built from Segment text is not decoration. core/http/endpoints/openai/transcription.go routes response_format text, srt, vtt and lrc through schema.TranscriptionResponse, which builds the entire body out of Segments[].Text and never reads the top-level text. So for those four formats the segment text IS the response. nemotron_asr emits one word_timestamp per SentencePiece token, and the word boundary is carried as a LEADING SPACE on the piece ("So", "me", " call"). join_words inserted a space unconditionally, so response_format=text returned "So me call me na ture ," while the correct sentence sat unread in the top-level field. The separator is now chosen from the words themselves: whole words are space-joined, subword pieces are concatenated, and one leading space anywhere selects the latter. Concatenating the real nemotron pieces reproduces text_output exactly, verified end to end. This does not touch the top-level text, which is still text_output verbatim. The rule that forbids deriving the transcript from the segments is about the direction segments -> text; segment text has no source other than its words. Two smaller corrections in the same area: timestamp_granularities ["word"] set only "word_timestamps", a key no family in the pinned upstream reads. It now sets "return_timestamps", which qwen3_asr does read and which both runs its forced aligner and shortens its chunk window, so asking for word granularity no longer silently returns nothing. The request-option comment claimed more than it delivered. prompt, translate and temperature are read by no ASR family, and are forwarded only so a family adopting them works unchanged; the comment now says so per key, and gives TranscriptRequest.diarize the same explicit treatment threads already had. Also: the shipping target now carries -Wall -Wextra -Wpedantic, which it never did, so "the build is clean" starts meaning something; and fill_transcript_result no longer swallows a null response pointer, since answering OK with an empty transcript is the one failure mode this unit exists to prevent. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): serve the AudioTransform RPC Covers voice conversion, singing voice conversion, speech to speech and source separation, the four tasks LocalAI's AudioTransform can represent. AudioTransformResult carries one dst while htdemucs and mel_band_roformer produce several named stems from a single run, so inference runs ONCE, every stem is written as a sibling file <dst-stem>.<name>.<ext>, and params[stem] selects which one dst receives, defaulting to vocals and falling back to the first output. An unknown stem name is INVALID_ARGUMENT listing the real stem names rather than a silent substitution, and the selection happens before the first write so a refused request leaves no files behind. params[stem] is consumed here and is not forwarded into the engine's request options. The stem decision lives in stem_selection, which is stdlib only and therefore tested by backend/cpp/run-unit-tests.sh. It also validates the names, because they come from the model (htdemucs reads them from the GGUF's config.sources) and each becomes a component of a path this backend writes: a name carrying a path separator would escape the caller's output directory, and two stems sharing a name would silently overwrite one another. Both files are read at their native rate and channel count. Separation forces it, since demucs and roformer refuse any rate but 44.1 kHz and lose the stereo image that separates a centred vocal from a wide mix. The conversion families all resample internally (seed_vc, vevo2, miocodec, chatterbox were each checked), so passing the file through unchanged is also strictly better than band limiting it to 16 kHz first. Verified end to end against htdemucs f16 on a 44.1 kHz stereo mix: four stems plus dst, dst byte identical to the selected stem, params[stem] selecting a different one, an unknown stem refused with no files written, and mono input preserved as mono output. Also against miocodec for the single output path, where params[stem] is refused rather than ignored. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): refuse an impossible stem early, and stop blaming the caller for a failed write Four fixes from the first review of the AudioTransform RPC. check_can_serve now returns the resolved route, so params[stem] on a route that is not source separation is refused from the route instead of after a full inference: 11 ms rather than the 4.5 s a miocodec conversion costs, and far worse on seed_vc or vevo2. The post-run refusal stays as the backstop for a separation-routed family that returns no stems anyway. The typo'd-stem-name case still needs the run, since no framework header publishes the stem names before one. Stem names carrying control bytes are refused. GGUF strings are length prefixed and demucs reads its sources from JSON, so an embedded NUL survives to here: two names differing only after the NUL are distinct std::strings, so the duplicate check passes them, and then path::c_str() truncates both and they open the same file. That is exactly the silent overwrite the duplicate check exists to prevent, with the .wav lost as well. A failed write is now INTERNAL rather than INVALID_ARGUMENT. The destination is LocalAI's own generated-content directory, not anything the caller named, so a full disk or a permission fault there is a server fault and is worth retrying, which is the opposite of what INVALID_ARGUMENT tells a client. An empty output path stays INVALID_ARGUMENT. Two comment corrections and one clarification: the separators' required rate is their checkpoint's declared samplerate rather than a hardcoded 44100, seed_vc resamples with soxr and falls back to sinc-hann, and the "no files left behind" guarantee covers a refused request, not a write that fails partway through the loop. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * feat(audio-transform): stop folding every upload to 16 kHz mono, and name the separation stems Two defects that made source separation unusable through LocalAI's own API, even though the backend served it correctly over gRPC. /audio/transform normalized every upload to 16 kHz mono s16 through utils.AudioToWav, with no way past it. htdemucs and mel_band_roformer refuse any rate but their checkpoint's own and separate a centred vocal from a wide mix using the stereo image, so every separation request through the HTTP API died with "HTDemucs prepare() sample rate mismatch: expected 44100, got 16000" while the same call over gRPC worked. The fold is not wrong, it is backend-specific: LocalVQE's echo cancellation genuinely wants 16 kHz mono and needs the reference in the same shape. So it becomes a declaration, BackendCapability.AudioTransformInputMono16k, set for localvqe and for nothing else. A backend that declares nothing gets its upload unchanged, which means no backend has to opt in to work. utils.AudioToWavPreservingShape is the non-folding conversion: a 16-bit PCM WAV passes through byte for byte at any rate and channel count, anything else is transcoded to WAV with its rate and channel layout kept. The other defect is that the run-once stem design bought nothing. A separation backend writes every stem beside dst from one inference, but AudioTransformResult carried only dst, so the other three were files no caller could find and a caller wanting all four had to run four separations. AudioTransformResult grows a repeated AudioTransformStem, the backend fills it, core/backend validates that each path really is inside the generated-content directory it handed over, and the endpoint publishes them as an X-Audio-Stems JSON header beside the existing X-Audio-Input-Url. JSON because a stem name is the model's own string and could contain any separator a hand-rolled format would use. Verified end to end through the HTTP endpoint with htdemucs f16 on a 44.1 kHz stereo file: 200 with a 44.1 kHz stereo body, all four stems named and fetchable through /generated-audio/, body byte identical to the selected stem, and params[stem]=drums returning a different one. The same upload sent to a model whose backend is localvqe still reaches the backend as 16 kHz mono, confirmed both by the engine's own rate refusal and by the persisted input file. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(audio-transform): reject extensible WAV from the passthrough, escape stem URLs, convert stems with dst Four fixes from the second review, plus one bug they made visible. isPCM16Wav tested only the bit depth, and go-audio's IsValidFile never looks at the format tag, so a 16-bit WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE (0xFFFE) upload was passed through untouched where the old fold would have transcoded it. audio.cpp's WAV reader accepts 16-bit only when the tag is 1, so such a file died with "unsupported WAV encoding". Extensible is what many DAWs and Windows tools write and music files are this endpoint's new headline input, so it is a first-contact failure rather than a corner. The check now requires tag 1, with a spec that fails against the old implementation. Stem URLs are percent-escaped. A stem name is the model's own string and legally contains a space, a '#', a '?' or a '%'; an unescaped '#' truncates the URL before the request is even sent. The name field keeps the raw name. sample_rate and response_format are applied to the stems as well as to dst. Applying beat documenting: dst IS one of those stems, so leaving them alone broke the "dst duplicates the selected stem" invariant the whole design rests on, and both conversions are no-ops when unset. A stem whose conversion fails is dropped from the header rather than advertised in the wrong shape. Verifying that turned up why it had never been noticed: the two fields were never bound at all. The request arrives as multipart/form-data and echo's binder falls back to the FIELD NAME without a form tag, matching only case-insensitively, so "SampleRate" never matched "sample_rate" and "Format" never matched "response_format". Both were documented in the endpoint table and silently ignored. Two form tags fix it, and with them the conversion is observable end to end. Docs: audio-transform.md now documents what LocalAI does to an upload before the backend sees it, which backend gets the 16 kHz mono fold and why, params[stem], and the X-Audio-Stems header with a worked example. Also records the known limitation that the fold lookup is on the bare backend name, so pinned variants (vulkan-localvqe) do not match, and points at IsLlamaCppBackend as the suffix-tolerant precedent.

Both the clip and SoundGenerationRequest.src are read at the file's own rate and channel count: upstream's own CLI and server do exactly that, every consuming family resamples internally and mostly with a better resampler than ours, and ace_step and stable_audio resample their input per channel, so a downmix here would delete the stereo image they are built to consume. The request builders live in their own unit rather than in grpc-server.cpp's anonymous namespace so they can be tested; grpc-server.cpp has a main() and cannot be linked into a test binary. The option keys are the whole point of these functions, so each one was grepped against the pinned upstream and the accounting is written down beside it. instructions maps to "instruct", which is what upstream's own server maps the OpenAI field to and what qwen3_tts and omnivoice read, and to "caption" for irodori_tts; the style tag is spelled "instruct" too, because "instructions" is looked up nowhere. duration maps to "duration_seconds", read by all three generation families, with the proto's own name kept only as a forward-tolerant alias. Keys that no family reads say so. Both handlers answer a capability refusal before taking the lane and before any file read, so a model that cannot synthesise does not queue behind somebody else's run to be told no. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): stop emitting an empty style language, and name the missing clip StyleCondition::language was set whenever has_language() was true, with no !empty() guard, while the language option twelve lines below had one. core/backend/tts.go sets Language unconditionally, so has_language() is true on every request LocalAI sends and carries "" when the caller named none. An engaged-but-empty style language is worse than an absent one: supertonic reads text_input->language behind its own !empty() guard and then overrides it from style->language with no guard at all, so "" replaced its "en" default and its tokenizer threw "invalid Supertonic language: ". Every /v1/audio/speech request that set instructions and no language would have been an INTERNAL against a supertonic model. A plain request never saw it, because the style condition only exists when instructions are non-empty, which is why the chatterbox end to end run did not catch it. TTS also stops discarding the Route that check_can_serve already returns. A family routed to voice cloning without a reference clip used to be refused from inside its own prepare(), which meant an INTERNAL naming neither the RPC nor the field to set; chatterbox advertises clon and no tts, so that was every preset-only request to it. It is now an INVALID_ARGUMENT naming TTSRequest.voice, answered in about 4 ms, and it cannot misfire because has_voice_reference is what selected cloning in the first place. Reading CapabilitySet::supports_speaker_reference to generalise this stays a follow-up. The src read carries a written caveat rather than a family blocklist, because ace_step's editing routes legitimately need src: setting src on a stable_audio model corrupts the heap and aborts the process in the pinned upstream, and the only thing keeping that off the network is that schema.ElevenLabsSoundGenerationRequest has no field for it. Nobody reading that Go schema would know why, so the reason is recorded where the field is read. build_tts_shape is extracted so TTSStream cannot describe the same request differently, and it arrived untested: two mutations of it survived until a test_tts_shape case was added. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): serve the TTSStream and AudioTranscriptionStream RPCs TTSStream leads with a streaming WAV header carrying 0xFFFFFFFF sizes, matching the convention backend/go/vibevoice-cpp established, so an HTTP client can start playback before the full PCM exists. Its chunks are read from StreamEvent::named_audio_outputs and not audio_output: supertonic, omnivoice and voxcpm2 all put their streamed audio there and leave audio_output empty until the very end, so reading the obvious field yields a stream with no audio in it. The finish_stream result is the family's own merged whole rather than a tail, so it is emitted only when nothing was streamed. Streaming transcription sends incremental deltas and degrades to a single delta plus the final result on families that offer no streaming ASR, which is the same message sequence with fewer deltas. The four streaming ASR families disagree on what partial_text means: nemotron_asr, vibevoice_asr and higgs_audio_stt report incremental fragments while voxtral_realtime reports the whole hypothesis and reports it twice, so the reconciliation lives in one tested unit rather than in the handler. nemotron_asr reports only through the stream event sink, and only from inside finalize, so the audio driver installs one and clears it again before returning: the session is cached and a sink left holding the caller's frame is a use after free waiting for the next stream. begin_stream is now the only implementation of the streaming state obligation, prepare then start_stream. Streaming sessions are cached, and what clears the previous stream is start_stream's reset; a family override that dropped it would break every call site with no compile error, so there is one call site.

Measured on a trace of a non-ASCII sentence, 11 of 31 messages failed to unmarshal and every accented character was lost. TranscriptDeltaTracker now holds back an incomplete trailing sequence and merges it into the next fragment; reconcile flushes it, which it always can because the final text is complete. The same trace now unmarshals in full with zero failures. A streaming buffer whose float count is not a whole number of frames is refused rather than truncated. The integer division dropped the tail floats from the fed audio and therefore from the transcript, with no diagnostic; vibevoice_asr refuses the same thing from the other side of the call. A supertonic GGUF whose weights are not f32 is refused at load. It reaches ggml_concat with mismatched operand types and ggml_abort takes the whole backend process down on the first request, so nothing downstream can report it: the model loads, then every request kills the process. Attributed rather than assumed, the unary TTS path aborts identically, and upstream records that package as untested. The refusal names the orig package and says what to run before deleting the guard.

Rule 2 discards a fragment the known text already starts with, and when that fragment is the LEAD BYTE of a new character it looks exactly like a repeat of an older character beginning with the same byte. It was discarded rather than held, its continuation bytes then arrived alone and began the next delta, and utf8_complete_prefix_length only ever inspected the trailing sequence, so a delta invalid at the FRONT went out whole. Through a real Go proto.Unmarshal the review's four-character repro gave 3 deltas, 2 unmarshal failures and a lost transcript. Reachable from the incremental families, not only from voxtral: nemotron_asr's decoder cuts at a byte offset and vibevoice_asr's common_prefix_size compares bytes, so both split characters. Measured over 30,000 randomized incremental traces, 53.28% of Japanese traces and 9.52% of French ones carried at least one delta the Go runtime refuses. Two changes. Rule 2 no longer judges a fragment that ends mid-character, so the lead byte is held instead of swallowed and the character survives intact; the cost is a few duplicated bytes in a shrinking cumulative report, which no pinned family produces. release() additionally drops leading orphan continuation bytes, so no delta can begin mid-character whatever the rules above it decide. Losing a byte keeps the stream alive; emitting one ends the RPC and takes the final_result with it. Post-fix all 60,000 traces produce zero unmarshal failures, and the cumulative streams plus both pure-ASCII incremental streams are byte-identical to the previous commit, so nothing changed for the families already working. The weight-dtype allow list moves to family_gate, where it is stdlib-only and pinned by a test rather than only by a comment. Two comment citations corrected.

For a cumulative family that is a duplicate; for an incremental family it is an ordinary short fragment that happens to coincide with the start of the transcript, and it was dropped, silently corrupting the text. Pure ASCII, no multi-byte character anywhere: the fragments "pure ", "ascii ", "trans", "c", "ri", "p", "t" left the client holding "pure ascii transcrit". Over 5,000 randomized traces per transcript, 9.50% of pure-ASCII and 29.12% of French traces ended with the client holding something other than final_result.text, with a 200 and no diagnostic. Both incremental families emit fragments that small routinely, since nemotron_asr cuts at a byte offset and vibevoice_asr at a common prefix. Narrowing rule 2 to an exact repeat drives that to zero on all six transcripts and changes no cumulative stream at all: 30,000 randomized cumulative traces are byte-identical to the previous commit. What rule 2 guarded was established from upstream rather than from its own comment. The only duplicate any pinned family produces is voxtral_realtime's, where process_available_stream_chunks feeds each event to the sink from inside its loop and returns the last of the batch, so that event arrives twice with byte-equal text. A duplicate is an exact repeat, so equality still covers it. The case given up is a cumulative report that SHRINKS, which no pinned family can produce: voxtral decodes a token vector that is only push_back'ed and cleared by reset(), so within a stream it can only grow. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): serve the AudioTranscriptionLive RPC The one bidirectional stream this backend serves. The client sends a TranscriptLiveConfig, then TranscriptLiveAudio frames; the server acknowledges with ready, emits deltas as the audio arrives, and sends final_result once the read side closes. There is no offline fallback: live transcription has to consume audio incrementally, so a family with no streaming ASR is refused rather than served a batch run, which is what this RPC's Streaming-only mode_candidates list already says. The driver is a new sibling of run_streaming_audio, run_streaming_live, because the audio does not exist yet: instead of slicing a buffer it pulls frames from the caller until the read side closes. It installs the same ScopedStreamSink in the same order, which is not optional, since nemotron_asr returns a bare event from process_audio_chunk and reports every partial through the sink from inside finalize(). It buffers the wire's frames up to the family's own preferred window rather than feeding whatever size the client's audio callback produced, and it does not call finish_stream at all when no audio arrived, because nemotron_asr throws "finalize requires streamed audio" and an empty transcript is the truthful answer to transcribing nothing. Three things the handler had to get right and one it cannot: - The audio contract. A live request carries no samples, but nemotron_asr's streaming prepare() throws without an audio contract, and build_preparation_request derives it from TaskRequest::audio_input, so that field is an EMPTY buffer holding only the rate and the channel count. - 16 kHz or a refusal. The families express their spans in their own 16 kHz feature domain whatever the input was, and live frames cannot be resampled on the way in the way a file can, so an 8 kHz session would return timestamps 2x off with a 200. core/backend hardcodes 16000 anyway. - A mid-stream Config is refused. backend.proto calls it a decoder reset, but deltas already on the wire cannot be retracted, so a reset would leave the final text contradicting the transcript the client assembled. Ignoring the message would hand a client that believes it reset the decoder a transcript that silently continues the audio it thought it discarded. - The stale-route identity check cannot run here: TranscriptLiveRequest carries no ModelIdentity in either arm of its oneof, so snapshot_for does not instantiate for it. snapshot_unchecked's comment now names that as a second legitimate class of caller and says the fix is a proto change. eou and eob stay false. They exist for cache-aware models that emit end-of-utterance and end-of-backchannel tokens; audio.cpp's StreamEvent has no equivalent signal, and a client uses eou to decide the speaker yielded the turn, so a guess inferred from silence cuts people off mid-sentence. The lane is held for the whole stream, which is as long as the user keeps talking: the streaming session is stateful and cached, so a concurrent run would interleave two callers' audio and corrupt both transcripts. Verified against nemotron_asr over a real connection with a 14 s WAV in 512-sample frames: ready first, 59 incremental deltas with no repeated prefix, concat(deltas) equal to final_result.text, word timestamps in nanoseconds, eou and eob false. citrinet_asr answers UNIMPLEMENTED naming the family and listing asr/offline. A config followed by a close returns an empty final_result rather than hanging, and a first message that is not a config is INVALID_ARGUMENT. Two concurrent streams both return the complete transcript. Two cleanups on lines Task 12 touched, folded in. The DtypeAllowList terminator is now asserted at compile time: the reported out-of-bounds read did not exist, the single entry does terminate, but the loops have no other bound and any edit that widened an entry would walk off the end. And the dtype guard now short-circuits on "is there a table entry" through a new predicate rather than on the emptiness of the description string, which would have skipped the check on an entry with an empty allow list, i.e. on precisely the entry that refuses every dtype. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): bound the lane a live stream can hold AudioTranscriptionLive holds the model's inference lane for the whole stream, which is correct (the streaming session is stateful and a concurrent run would interleave two callers' audio) and newly dangerous. Every other RPC holds the lane across compute, or across a write to a slow reader, and both of those terminate on their own. A live stream instead blocks in a client-driven read, and a peer that goes silent WITHOUT closing the stream never terminates anything: the lane stays taken and every other request against that model queues behind a client that stopped speaking. live_watchdog is a one-shot idle timer that ends the stream when no frame has arrived inside a window. It is standard library only, so it is unit tested without an engine. gRPC's synchronous Read has no timeout and cannot be given one, so the only way to unblock it is ServerContext::TryCancel, which decides the wire status itself: the client sees CANCELLED rather than the DEADLINE_EXCEEDED the handler returns, the reason is logged, and the lane coming back is the point. When it fires the read loop throws rather than reporting end-of-input, so the driver does not go on to finalize a decode nobody is waiting for. It is armed only after the lane is taken and disarmed as soon as the read side closes, and both ends matter. Arming earlier would cover acquire(), which legitimately blocks while another live stream runs, so a queued caller would be cancelled for waiting its turn. Disarming later would cover our own decode, where a window overrun is not a peer going quiet and cancelling would throw away the transcript the client is waiting for. The window is the new live_idle_timeout_ms option, 30 s by default, 0 meaning no limit. core/http/endpoints/openai/realtime.go drives a 300 ms ticker and feeds every tick that produced new audio while a turn is open, so 30 s of silence is a hundred ticks that delivered nothing. It is also longer than any pause a speaker takes mid-utterance, which is the case that must never be cut off, and backend.proto lets one stream span many utterances, so a client that pauses longer between them raises the option rather than discovering it. Two smaller corrections in the same handler: - check_can_serve now runs BEFORE the sample rate check. pkg/grpc/grpcerrors/errors.go degrades to the file path on UNIMPLEMENTED and on nothing else, so a live-incapable model asked at a wrong rate was answering INVALID_ARGUMENT and costing the caller its fallback. - a negative sample rate is refused instead of silently becoming 16000. Zero still means 16000, which is what the proto documents; -1 is malformed rather than absent and gets the same refusal every other bad rate gets. And one thing recorded rather than changed, at the handler: "live" here means incremental INPUT, not low latency, and with the pinned families it does not yet mean incremental OUTPUT either. nemotron_asr's process_audio_chunk only appends to its buffer, so its whole decode and every delta happen inside finalize(), after the client closes its send side. The policy-window buffering is inert for that family and matters only for vibevoice_asr and higgs_audio_stt. Verified on the wire with live_idle_timeout_ms:3000. A silent client acked at 371 ms and was cancelled at 3.371 s; a second live stream opened one second later received its ack 2.37 s in, i.e. at the instant the first was cancelled, and then transcribed successfully on the same cached session. Without the watchdog it would still be waiting. Re-ran the live transcription (ready first, 59 incremental deltas, concat equal to the final text, word timestamps in nanoseconds, eou and eob false), the citrinet refusal at both a right and a wrong rate (UNIMPLEMENTED either way now), and Task 12's AudioTranscriptionStream on nemotron_asr, which is unchanged. Mutation testing the watchdog found a weakness in its own test: the destructor test slept past the window inside the watched scope, so a destructor that DETACHED the thread instead of joining it passed unnoticed. The test now uses a window longer than the scope, which kills that mutant, and says why.

Each now returns UNIMPLEMENTED naming the loaded family, what that family does support, and the upstream limitation, instead of the generated base class's bare status. The reasons live in a table in capability_routing.cpp so they are data rather than literals copied into five handlers, and so a test can assert every one of them. The five claims this was planned against were re-read at the pinned upstream e800d435d130dc776baf6f3e6129bb62b1495c89, and one did not hold. "audio.cpp streams tts and asr only" is false: silero_vad advertises vad with RunMode::Streaming. The refusal stands on the narrower claim that survives, that no family advertises streaming for any task AudioTransform routes to, and a test asserts the refuted wording does not come back. VoiceEmbed is the one refusal whose request carries a ModelIdentity, so it runs the #10952 check before answering: a stale route must get NOT_FOUND and the router's sentinel, not "audio.cpp cannot embed speakers" about a model that is not loaded here. It cannot use snapshot_for, whose no-model branch would tell the caller to load a model when no model can help, so it takes the reference through snapshot_unchecked and checks identity itself. That function's comment now names three classes of caller instead of two. The two bidirectional surfaces refuse without reading their stream, verified with a client that writes a config and eight frames first and gets the status rather than hanging. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): correct the vevo2 clause, and assert the absences Review found a false clause in the AudioToAudioStream refusal. It said s2s is "offline voice conversion ... which converts one clip into another speaker's voice", which is true of miocodec and false of vevo2: vevo2's s2s route is `editing` and only `editing` (default_route_for_task and route_matches_task in src/models/vevo2/session.cpp), documented as "Edit source speech into new target text while using the target voice" and requiring --target-text, so it rewrites what was said. vevo2's voice conversion is its separate vc task. It now reads "offline clip-to-clip processing against a target voice, declared only by miocodec (voice conversion) and vevo2 (speech editing)", and a test asserts the miscast cannot come back. The conclusion is unchanged: neither family converses. That defect was undetectable on the wire, since vevo2 does not load here, which is the argument for upstream_absence_ctest.cpp. It links engine_runtime purely to interrogate make_default_registry() and asserts the five premises the refusal reasons rest on: no codec task kind, no family advertising spk, no streaming for sep/vc/svc/s2s, miocodec advertising exactly vc and s2s, and s2s advertised by exactly miocodec and vevo2. The last two are exact sets, so an addition fails here rather than leaving a message stale. A positive control proves the registry is populated and the query works before any absence is believed, and every assertion has a reproduced negative control. This turns an AUDIO_CPP_VERSION bump from "remember to re-read five prose paragraphs" into a test failure. unsupported_surface now switches over UnsupportedRpc with no default label, so -Wswitch reports a sixth enumerator added without a row at build time; the runtime bounds guard it replaces is deleted. The AudioTransformStream reason had a true premise and an overreaching conclusion: an offline sep family could be buffered into a stream, as other LocalAI backends do. It now says this backend declines to offer a buffered offline call in disguise, rather than implying impossibility. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): make the missing-switch-case diagnostic fatal unsupported_surface() switches UnsupportedRpc onto the table row that explains it, with no default label, so -Wswitch reports an enumerator nobody handled. As a warning that is not enough: adding a sixth enumerator and building the shipping target gives exit 0, a binary and one warning, and the trailing `return surfaces[0];` then answers the new RPC with AudioEncode's codec reason. That is a confident, specific and false statement about audio.cpp on the wire, on the one code path whose entire job is to be truthful about what this backend cannot do, and it is worse than the runtime fallback it replaced, which at least named itself as a bug in this file. capability_routing.cpp therefore joins loaded_model.cpp on the existing -Werror=switch pin, whose comment already made this argument for the engine enum. The comment now covers both files. The pin stays per-file rather than project-wide because upstream's own ace_step/vae_decoder.cpp has unhandled -Wswitch cases of its own. Verified: a sixth enumerator now fails `make grpc-server` with exit 2 and no binary; appending a 14th VoiceTaskKind upstream still fails loaded_model.cpp, so the two pins fire independently; both reverted clean. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): package the backend image Bundles the dependency closure for the from-scratch image, the dlopened ggml CPU-variant shared objects that ldd cannot see, and upstream's bundled silero_vad and marblenet_vad assets so VAD works with no download. The bundled loader sits in the package ROOT rather than at lib/ld.so. run.sh execs it, which makes /proc/self/exe name the loader, and this backend has two consumers of that path: ggml discovers the libggml-cpu-*.so by listing dirname(/proc/self/exe), and resolve_model_path expands bundled:<name> under the same directory. Rooting the loader makes the binary, the ggml objects and assets/ share the one directory all three resolution mechanisms agree on. llama-cpp's lib/ld.so layout would need assets/ moved into lib/ as well. The image builds against apt gRPC and protobuf, like Dockerfile.ds4 and unlike Dockerfile.privacy-filter. The from-source gRPC that install-base-deps.sh and the base-grpc-* images supply vendors protobuf 26, which pulls abseil into message_lite.h; with SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER=package that collides with sentencepiece's vendored mini-abseil and every absl::internal reference becomes ambiguous. Noble's protobuf 3.21.12 predates the abseil dependency and is the pair every earlier verification of this backend ran against. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): exempt the driver libraries from the packaging gate package.sh already left libcuda.so* and libnvidia-* to the host when copying, because the driver has to match the kernel module on whatever host runs the image, but the validation gate had no matching exemption. With BUILD_TYPE=cublas ggml is static and links CUDA::cuda_driver, so grpc-server carries DT_NEEDED libcuda.so.1 and the gate would have rejected the very absence the copy loop created, failing every cublas build in CI. One regex now feeds both. Building a control for that found a second defect: ld.so --list refuses to trace an object with an unresolvable dependency at all, exiting 127 without emitting a per-library line, so the "=> not found" rule was dead code and no exemption could have applied to it. The gate now traces with LD_TRACE_LOADED_OBJECTS and LD_LIBRARY_PATH, which reports the missing name and exits 0, and which is also what run.sh does at run time. Adds a layout assertion so a future move of the loader into lib/ fails the build instead of shipping a package that resolves bundled: models into lib/assets and finds no ggml CPU backend, and records for Task 16 that the Darwin script must not be a straight copy of privacy-filter-darwin.sh, which never calls package.sh and would silently drop assets/. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): register the backend with CI and the gallery Adds the five Linux matrix entries (cpu amd64/arm64 sharing a tag-suffix so the manifest merge fires, cuda 12, cuda 13, vulkan), the path-filter case that keeps later PRs touching backend/cpp/audio-cpp/ from getting zero CI jobs, the bump-bot entry pointing at the AUDIO_CPP_VERSION pin in the backend Makefile, the gallery meta plus its -development variant and the image entries for every variant, and the Makefile docker-build wiring. The matrix entries carry base-image only, with no builder-base-image, unlike the llama-cpp and privacy-filter blocks they sit next to. The prebuilt quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:base-grpc-* images ship a from-source gRPC whose protobuf v26 depends on abseil, and this backend's sentencepiece is built with SPM_PROTOBUF_PROVIDER=package, so it sees real abseil's absl::lts_20240116:: internal alongside its own vendored plain absl::internal and every absl::internal:: reference becomes ambiguous. Building against base-grpc-amd64 fails at sentencepiece-static.dir/error.cc.o with "reference to 'internal' is ambiguous". Dockerfile.audio-cpp installs apt's gRPC/protobuf 3.21.12 itself, which is also the pair every unit and end-to-end run of this backend has been verified against, and the CUDA toolkit therefore has to come from base-image. No Darwin matrix entry and no metal gallery entries: the Metal build needs scripts/build/audio-cpp-darwin.sh, a backends/audio-cpp-darwin make target and a routing step in backend_build_darwin.yml, none of which exist yet, so an entry added now would be routed to build-darwin-go-backend and look for backend/go/audio-cpp/. The inferBackendPathDarwin case and the DARWIN_BESPOKE_BUILDERS membership are in place, inert, so that adding the entry later is a one-line change that cannot be claimed by the generic Go path. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): pin the CUDA architectures, drop the vulkan variant Upstream sets CUDA_ARCHITECTURES to `native` on the engine_runtime target whenever CMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES is unset at root scope, and docs/build/ linux.md says so outright. ggml's own default does not rescue it: it list(APPEND)s in the ggml subdirectory scope, which never reaches the root scope where the engine_runtime property is decided. No CI runner has a GPU for `native` to enumerate, so both cublas entries would have gone red on the very commit that first turns a CUDA build on. Pin the list in backend/cpp/audio-cpp/Makefile, selected by CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION, which Dockerfile.audio-cpp now forwards from the CI build-arg it was previously discarding. The values are copied from ggml's own version guards rather than invented, so engine_runtime and ggml compile for the same set: CUDA 12 keeps the Maxwell/Pascal/Volta virtual archs and stops at 120a-real, CUDA 13 drops them and adds 121a-real. The `a` suffix is used rather than `f` because the latter needs CMake 3.31.8 and Ubuntu Noble ships 3.28.3. Verified by driving CMake 3.28.3's own CUDA architecture validator over both lists, with 120f-virtual as the rejected control. Drop the vulkan matrix entry, its two gallery entries, the vulkan capability key on both metas and the Vulkan tag. Every other vulkan backend gets its Mesa ICD drivers from .docker/install-base-deps.sh, which package-gpu-libs.sh then bundles; Dockerfile.audio-cpp calls neither and installs only libvulkan-dev and glslc, so the image would ship a Vulkan loader that finds no GPU. No CI job runs a vulkan image against real hardware, so that would have passed green and failed in users' hands. BUILD_TYPE=vulkan stays supported for local builds. Also note on the cublas entries that cuda-major-version now selects the architecture list and that cuda-minor-version and the base-image tag encode the same toolkit, and correct the stale entry counts on matrixEntryKey. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): build for Darwin Metal Bespoke C++ Darwin path like ds4 and privacy-filter: an includeDarwin matrix entry, a backends/audio-cpp-darwin make target, a gated workflow step, and the metal image entries plus metal/metal-darwin-arm64 capability keys in the backend gallery. The build script deliberately does NOT reassemble the package the way privacy-filter-darwin.sh does. It runs the backend's own `make package` and copies the result, so the Darwin package keeps the root-level layout the Linux one has: grpc-server, run.sh, the ggml objects and assets/ in one directory, with lib/ for the dylib closure. Hand-assembling would drop assets/, and assets/ is what makes the bundled: model paths resolve with nothing downloaded. The dylib walk is a full transitive closure rather than the single level ds4 and llama-cpp do, because Homebrew's grpc++ pulls libgrpc, abseil, upb, cares and OpenSSL that grpc-server does not link itself, and a level-1 walk ships a package that only works on a machine that already has Homebrew grpc. Two fixes folded in, both in the backend Makefile: - an EMPTY CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION fell through to the CUDA 12 architecture list, which contains 120a-real and so needs nvcc >= 12.8. A local BUILD_TYPE=cublas build on a 12.0-12.7 host failed to compile where upstream's documented default (native) worked. EMPTY now maps to native, 12 and 13 keep their lists, and any other non-empty value is an error on cublas builds. CI always passes a major, so CI is unaffected. - the Darwin branch now points CMake at Homebrew's keg-only libomp. AppleClang ships no OpenMP runtime and nothing is symlinked into /opt/homebrew, so FindOpenMP finds neither the library nor the header, and audio.cpp calls find_package(OpenMP REQUIRED) whenever ENGINE_ENABLE_OPENMP is on. Without the hint the macOS build would have died at configure time. If the keg is absent the build disables OpenMP instead of failing. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * backend(audio-cpp): make the Darwin fallbacks loud and the rpath walk complete Review follow-up on the Darwin Metal build. The OpenMP fallback was silent. If brew --prefix libomp ever comes back empty, CI produced a green Metal package with 108 #pragma omp directives across ~30 files compiled out, and clang says nothing about an ignored omp pragma without -Wsource-uses-openmp, so the only trace was one absent flag inside a set -x cmake line. That regression would have been blamed on Metal. It now warns. The @rpath arm of the dylib walk had no live candidate when it was written, on the reasoning that a Metal build links ggml statically. The OpenMP fix in the same commit made libomp.dylib one, and whether Homebrew records it as an absolute opt path or as @rpath/libomp.dylib is not observable from Linux. The walk now expands @rpath, @loader_path and @executable_path against the object's own LC_RPATH entries, and only fails when nothing on disk answers, printing the rpath list with the error so a failure on a machine nobody can attach to explains itself. Also: ADDITIONAL_LIBS now go through the closure rather than a bare cp, so they are deduplicated and their own dependencies bundled; build/darwin/lib is created explicitly instead of relying on package.sh pre-creating it; the libomp probe uses nested ifneq rather than $(and ...), which needs GNU make 3.81 and would otherwise expand empty and take the OFF branch on an older make; and -DOpenMP_ROOT is quoted like its CUDA sibling. Verified with a Linux harness that runs the script verbatim against a stubbed otool: a level-2 transitive dep, an @rpath dep reachable only through LC_RPATH, and an ADDITIONAL_LIBS dep are all bundled, a dependency cycle terminates, system libraries are skipped, the packaged tree has assets/ at the root beside grpc-server with the dylibs in lib/, and both failure paths exit non-zero.

LocalAI fills ModelFile by joining ModelPath onto the configured model string (pkg/model/loader.go, LoadModelWithFile), and only sets it from a managed artifact otherwise, so a model YAML saying `model: bundled:silero_vad` arrives as ModelFile "/models/bundled:silero_vad" and Model "bundled:silero_vad". The prefix therefore never matched through the normal load path: it matched only for a hand-written LoadModel call that left ModelFile empty, which is exactly how task 15 verified it, and every model YAML using the form failed with "model path does not exist: /models/bundled:silero_vad". Both fields are now checked, Model first, so the zero-download VAD path the package ships assets for is reachable the way it is documented. A caller that puts the form in ModelFile still works, so task 15's verification stands. Compiled clean; the runtime check could not run on this host, whose system libprotobuf/libre2 have gone missing (the pre-existing grpc-server binary no longer resolves its libraries either), so it wants a container run.

Modality is a single string and the import form chips on a fixed key set, so it registers as tts with the other modalities named in the description rather than under an invented key the UI would bucket as "other". Adds a features page covering the option namespacing, the routing table per endpoint, the RPCs this backend declines and why, the bundled VAD path, the separation stem behaviour, and the family gotchas (supertonic needs the orig package; chatterbox advertises cloning and no plain tts; nemotron_asr defers its whole decode to finalize so live transcription emits nothing until the client half-closes, unlike higgs_audio_stt and voxtral_realtime). Every option name and family capability in it was read off the pinned upstream checkout.

Four cases in streaming_driver_ctest, which already links loaded_model.cpp, pin the PRODUCTION shapes instead. The first fails against the pre-fix source (returns the joined /models/bundled:silero_vad); the other three are the branches the bundled: lookup now runs in front of and must fall through for. Three family names in the docs were the source directory rather than the registered family, on pages whose whole argument is that these names cannot be guessed: demucs is htdemucs (demucs/loader.cpp:22), roformer is mel_band_roformer (roformer/assets.h:15), and moss is TWO families, moss_tts_local and moss_tts_nano. The hyphenated ASR names are underscored to match, here and in the compatibility table. The supertonic dtype note claimed more than the evidence carries. The f16 abort is a local observation, identical through TTS and TTSStream; upstream's docs/gguf.md leaves the 16-bit column untested and records q8_0 as "No (unsupported weight dtype)", which says unusable rather than fatal. Both are still refused, because the allow list is what the family can run. Corrected in family_gate.h, family_gate.cpp and the docs together, since the docs inherited the wording from the code. The importers tripwire says in the file that it is a tripwire: it exercises no audio-cpp behaviour, and the registration assertion lives in backend_test.go.

Every hash was computed with sha256sum on the downloaded file. Quantizations come from upstream's tested-status table in docs/gguf.md rather than a default of q8_0: supertonic ships the orig package (its q8_0 is recorded as an unsupported weight dtype and its f16 aborts in ggml_concat), and nemotron_asr and htdemucs ship f16 because their q8_0 builds are recorded with drift while 16-bit is a clean pass. Diarization and separation use the diarization and audio_transform usecases, not transcript: /v1/audio/diarization and /audio/transform filter the default model on FLAG_DIARIZATION and FLAG_AUDIO_TRANSFORM respectively, so a transcript flag would have hidden both models from their own endpoints. The forced aligner sets parameters.language, which the transcription endpoint uses as the fallback when no language form field is sent, because the family requires both a transcript and a language.

Three were wrong: supertonic apache-2.0 -> openrail weights come from mlx-community/supertonic-3-mlx, and both it and Supertone/supertonic are openrail citrinet apache-2.0 -> other pulled from NGC nvidia/nemo/stt_en_citrinet_256, governed by the NGC Terms of Use sortformer other -> cc-by-nc-4.0 nvidia/diar_sortformer_4spk-v1 is CC BY-NC 4.0, and the gallery already uses that exact string, so there is no reason to obscure a non-commercial bar The license field is one word, so citrinet and sortformer also gained a sentence saying why they are restricted. The other seven were confirmed correct against their sources. Also drops an unverified claim from the nemotron description. It said the model drives the realtime transcription session; that endpoint actually calls TranscribeStream, and the live RPC reaches LocalAI only through realtime_semantic_vad.go. Neither path was exercised here, so the description now states only the two calls that were. MarbleNet gains the NeMo upstream under urls: for parity with silero. No sha256, quantization, usecase or model choice changed.

The branch added the `form:` tag that makes the field bind for the first time, so the resample path went from dead to live, and utils.AudioResample interpolates the int straight into ffmpeg's -ar with no bound. Measured with ffmpeg 7: -ar 999999999 on a 0.01 s clip writes 20 MB and exits 0, which scales linearly to the reported 3.9 GB for one second, into a GeneratedContentDir nothing sweeps, and convertStems repeats it once per separation stem. Clamped to 8000..192000 in the handler, before the temp dir and before the model is touched, and rejected with a 400 outside it. The low end was reported as "a 0-byte file". It is not: -ar 1 writes a 78-byte header with no audio behind it, whose declared data size still claims 70 bytes, so go-audio parses it as a 35 SECOND file and a size check does not see it. The guard therefore compares the declared data chunk against the bytes actually on disk, and AudioResample now fails rather than returning a WAV carrying nothing. Both parts of a transform request land in one temp dir, and the raw copy was named only after the client's basename, so `-F audio=@mic/clip.wav -F reference=@loopback/clip.wav` wrote "raw-clip.wav" twice. Since AudioToWavPreservingShape hardlinks an already-PCM16 WAV rather than copying it, the reference part's os.Create truncated the inode audio.wav pointed at: mic and reference came out identical, which makes an echo canceller null everything and return near-silence with a 200. The raw copy now carries the form field name. audio-cpp had no BackendCapabilities entry, so VoiceCloningForModel returned nil before it ever consulted the model's tts.voice_cloning override and every `voice: "profile:<id>"` request was refused with a 400, on a backend that ships audio-cpp-chatterbox whose family serves cloning and not plain TTS. Registered with its RPCs, usecases and the reference-audio contract, and deliberately without the 16 kHz mono fold, which its separation families cannot survive. GetBackendCapability was exact-match only, so every pinned gallery variant read as an unknown backend: vulkan-localvqe lost the 16 kHz mono fold that used to be unconditional and started failing inside LocalVQE, and the usecase gate does not stand in for it because BuildFilteredFirstAvailableDefaultModel returns early once the client names a model. Lookup now falls back to the meta name by stripping the gallery's hardware prefix and release-channel suffix, exact match first so nothing can be shadowed. Same class as #10945. Also corrected: the AudioTransformRequest comment claimed echo's binder falls back to the field name, which it does not in either direction (bindData binds ONLY tagged fields and `continue`s otherwise; `model` arrives from setModelNameFromRequest's c.FormValue). And the stable_audio `src` heap corruption caveat now lives on ElevenLabsSoundGenerationRequest, where the Go developer who would add the field can see it, instead of only in C++. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(audio-cpp): refuse a task pin the RPC cannot serve, and stop empty frames holding the lane The model's `task:` option is copied into the request shape by all nine handlers, which is correct, but resolve_route then replaced the RPC's candidate list with the pin WHOLESALE and never asked whether the pin was something that RPC routes to. One pin therefore bled across all nine surfaces, and because the family still supported the pinned task the result was a wrong 200 rather than an error. Reproduced live: nemotron with task:asr made Vad return 200 with zero segments after a full ASR decode, so 14 seconds of speech was reported as silence, and Diarize did the same; silero_vad with task:vad made AudioTranscription return 200 with empty text and four segments whose spans were VAD segments, which combined with response_format in {text,srt,vtt,lrc} building the body solely from Segments[].Text yields a well formed SRT of four timed EMPTY cues. It also contradicted the documented contract, that a family which cannot serve a request is refused rather than rerouted. A pin is now checked against the RPC's admissible task set before it is adopted, and the refusal names both the pin and the RPC. The set is derived from task_candidates with every shape flag set rather than restated, so a task added to an RPC's candidates cannot become inadmissible by omission. Every legitimate pin survives, and the test asserts all fifteen of them alongside the eight crossings that must not. The live watchdog was defeated by empty frames. idle.touch() ran on ANY message, before the has_audio and pcm.empty() filters, so a peer writing unset-oneof or zero-length frames faster than the window held the lane indefinitely while feeding the decoder nothing. There is one lane per model and one model per process, so that is a single client denying the whole backend, which is what the watchdog exists to prevent, and the thrown text already said "no audio frame arrived". The touch moved below the filters, which are now a named predicate so the distinction is testable rather than a call order nobody can see. Three comments corrected against measurement rather than reasoning: - CMakeLists claimed zero google::protobuf:: definitions remain in the executable. nm -C --defined-only reports 2515, and that is expected: they are generated code, sentencepiece::ModelProto's own _InternalParse among them. The claim that holds, and the one the ABI fix is actually about, is that no vendored protobuf RUNTIME is linked and ParseContext::ParseMessage is UNDEFINED in the executable, resolving to libprotobuf.so. - refuse_cloning_without_a_clip's "cannot misfire" paragraph had its reasoning backwards. Routing picks VoiceCloning as the FALLBACK when there is no clip, which is the case being caught; chatterbox, which ships in the gallery, advertises clon and no tts at all, so every voice-less request lands there. - audio_units read "2.1 min at 96 kHz" for index 11289602, which is 1.96 min. 2.1 min is 96 kHz's OWN first failure at 12288002. Both were remeasured and the note is now a per-rate table.

It is safe today only by luck: upstream's 44 tests all put "test" at the FRONT of the filename (17 test-*.cpp, 27 test_*.cpp, zero *_test.cpp), so the glob misses every one of them, and nothing enforces that. This gate runs on every PR for every backend and compiles each match as a standalone translation unit with nothing but nlohmann/json on the include path, so the day upstream adds or renames one test the gate goes red repo-wide on an Apache-2.0 file nobody here wrote. audio-cpp-darwin.sh now logs the raw otool -L output and the parsed LC_RPATH list unconditionally, before the walk. Both awk filters in that script assume a column layout nobody working on this can observe, since it runs only on the CI Mac, and a green first Darwin run proves nothing about the assumption: an awk that silently matched nothing yields an empty dependency list, which reads exactly like "no non-system dependencies" and packages happily. Both filters otherwise feed process substitutions, so their input never reached the log. It also lists every symlink in the package and fails on one that cannot resolve inside the image. A dangling link does not fail anything else here, because every assertion tests with -e, which follows links; it fails at dlopen on a user's Mac. Links are NOT banned outright, which the review suggested but which would break the libggml.dylib -> libggml.0.dylib chain the `cp -a` above exists to preserve. What is banned is a link that resolves on the build host and will not resolve in the image: a broken one, or an absolute one pointing outside the package.

A pinned name therefore resolved the capability by stripping and then missed every case in the switch, falling through to the permissive default: cuda12-vibevoice-cpp advertised voice cloning for the realtime 0.5B model, metal-coqui for tacotron2, cuda12-crispasr for a pure ASR model, cpu-qwen3-tts-cpp for CustomVoice. Each of those is a model that cannot clone, so /v1/audio/speech accepted a profile: voice it had to fail on inside the backend rather than rejecting it with a 400, and the UI advertised the capability too. resolveBackendCapability now returns the key the entry was found under, and callers that branch on backend identity use that key instead of the name they were handed. The exact-match-first order is unchanged, so a backend genuinely registered under a variant-looking name still keys on its own name.

It is the one audio.cpp task with a shipped gallery model and no way to find it. Verified against the real model rather than inferred from the capability list: AudioTransform with chatterbox-q8_0, speech as audio_path and a speaker clip as reference_path, returns a 5.08 s 24 kHz mono WAV at -25.5 dB mean and zero stems, which is the single-output shape voice conversion should have. The description now says which endpoint reaches that half and warns that installing this next to a source-separation model gives /audio/transform two candidates, so the model should be named rather than defaulted. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * gallery(audio-cpp): add voice-design and singing-voice-conversion entries Two of the three audio.cpp task kinds that had no gallery model now have one. Both were driven end to end against the real weights through the backend before being written, not inferred from the capability tables. audio-cpp-irodori-voicedesign covers vdes. TTS carrying `instructions` routes to the vdes task, so the voice is described in words rather than supplied as a clip. Verified: "a calm elderly woman speaking slowly with a warm, gentle tone" over an 8.76 s 48 kHz mono render at -16.8 dB mean, and a closed-loop citrinet pass recovers the sentence with the accent drift expected from a Japanese-first model read by an English recogniser. audio-cpp-seedvc-singing covers svc, and pins task:svc because nothing else can reach it. seed_vc advertises svc and ordinary voice conversion, no request signal means "this input is singing", and auto-routing resolves the tie to voice conversion every time. Verified with the pin: 5.04 s 44.1 kHz output whose closed-loop citrinet transcription is exact. s2s deliberately has no entry, and the reason is not effort. miocodec is the only upstream family whose speech-to-speech route needs no text, and it returned audio with correct duration and level but no recoverable speech in four independent attempts: the stale build, v2 q8_0, v2 orig (the variant upstream records as a clean Pass), both tasks, and matched 44.1 kHz inputs on both sides. vevo2's route refuses with "Vevo2 text/prosody route requires text_input or target_text", and session.cpp:897 fills target_text only from request.text_input, which AudioTransform has no field to carry. The same vevo2 weights convert voice correctly through the default route with an exact ASR round trip, so the model and the plumbing are both healthy; it is the s2s route specifically that this RPC cannot express. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-5 [Claude Code] * backend(audio-cpp): carry transform text through params, add the s2s entry AudioTransform is audio-in / audio-out and its proto message has no text field, but not every task it routes to is audio-only. vevo2's speech-to-speech route is a text and prosody route: session.cpp:897 fills refs.target_text from request.text_input and nowhere else, and the run refuses without one with "Vevo2 text/prosody route requires text_input or target_text". The params map is the only channel this RPC has that reaches the engine, so the text travels through it and apply_transform_text_input unpacks it after the params have been copied into task.options. Before this, s2s was not awkward to reach through /audio/transform, it was unreachable, and it was the last audio.cpp task kind with a real model and no way to get to it. target_text is canonical and text is its alias, the order vevo2's own option table declares them in, so a request setting both gets the canonical one rather than whichever the map happened to store first. An empty value falls through to the next candidate instead of ending the search. language rides along only when a text was found: on its own it conditions nothing, and manufacturing a text_input for it would route a plain separation request carrying a language hint through the text path. The keys are left in task.options rather than erased, because vevo2's loader advertises target_text as a request option and a family reading it there keeps working. Nine tests, all confirmed failing on behaviour against a stub that returned false before the implementation was written. Verified end to end afterwards: vevo2-q8_0 with task:s2s and params[text] returns a 5.12 s 24 kHz output whose closed-loop citrinet transcription is exact, and htdemucs separation with no text param still returns its four stems, with and without params[stem]. audio-cpp-vevo2-speech-to-speech ships that route. Every audio.cpp task kind with a loadable family now has a gallery entry; spk remains the only gap and has no family upstream at all.

Annotated in the repo's existing style rather than restructured, with the reason spelled out, because a bare suppression is worth nothing to the next reader.

Every entry in the table has to compile even though a host only ever dlopens the one its own CPU supports, so a single unbuildable variant fails the whole image. gcc-14 accepts it, which is exactly the fix llama-cpp already carries in .docker/llama-cpp-compile.sh; this is the same problem reached by a different Dockerfile. Applied to every arm64 BUILD_TYPE rather than to the CPU one alone, and that differs from llama-cpp on purpose. llama-cpp needs it only for its pure-CPU image because its GPU builds run llama-cpp-fallback, which builds no variant table. This backend's Makefile turns ENGINE_ENABLE_CPU_ALL_VARIANTS on for every non-Darwin build, GPU included, so an arm64 GPU image would hit the identical error. The matrix has no arm64 GPU entry today, which is precisely why gating on an empty BUILD_TYPE would leave the trap armed for whoever adds the first one.

localai-org-maint-botandDaria Korenieva	9bfd71387b	feat(stores): add Valkey Search vector store backend (#11196) ... * feat: add Valkey Search vector store backend Add a new built-in Go gRPC store backend 'valkey-store' that implements the four Stores RPCs (Set/Get/Delete/Find) against the Valkey Search module (FT.*) using the pure-Go github.com/valkey-io/valkey-go client. It is selected via the existing per-request 'backend' field on /stores, so there is no proto or HTTP API change, and it mirrors the in-memory local-store while adding persistence across restarts and opt-in HNSW. Each vector is a Valkey HASH keyed by hex(little-endian float32); the index is created lazily on first Set (FLAT+COSINE by default), cosine similarity is derived as 1-distance, and namespaces get a collision-resistant token. Includes unit tests (valkey-go mock) and env-gated integration tests against valkey/valkey-bundle, plus build/matrix/gallery wiring and docs. Assisted-by: Kiro:claude-opus-4.8 golangci-lint Signed-off-by: Daria Korenieva <daric2612@gmail.com> * Address review feedback: recover persisted index dimension, harden Find - Load now recovers the persisted vector DIM from FT.INFO (not just index existence), so a post-restart Set/Find validates against the real DIM instead of silently re-learning a wrong one and dropping mismatched vectors from the index. This also restores Find's dimension check after a restart. - StoresFind treats a dropped/missing index as an empty store (empty result, no error) and clears the stale indexCreated flag, matching local-store's empty-store behaviour. - StoresSet reuses checkDims for its per-key length check so the four RPCs share one dimension-guard implementation. - Add unit tests for FT.INFO dimension recovery, loadIndexState, and the dropped-index Find path.

This removes every env access from the backend and routes config through the model-config seam every other backend uses. - config.go: loadConfig(opts *pb.ModelOptions) now parses the model config `options:` list (key:value strings, split on the first ':') instead of os.Getenv. Option keys mirror the old VALKEY_* names without the prefix (addr, index_algo, distance_metric, ...). Defaults, fail-fast validation and the mandatory client name are unchanged. - store.go: Load threads opts into loadConfig; TLS comments/errors renamed off the VALKEY_* names. - core/backend/stores.go: StoreBackend and NewVectorStore take a *config.ModelConfigLoader, resolve the per-store ModelConfig by store name, and pass its Options (and Backend when unset) to the backend via WithLoadGRPCLoadModelOpts. No config -> default backend + built-in defaults, preserving the zero-config experience. - Endpoints/routes/application: thread the config loader to StoreBackend. - Unit + integration tests: configure via options; the integration test passes addr through the model-config path (VALKEY_ADDR is now only the test harness locating the server). - docs + .env: document the model-config options, drop the env var table.

This keeps secrets out of model YAML files and lets distinct store configs each reference their own credentials. Options: username_env / password_env name the env var holding the value. The direct username / password options still work and take precedence when both are set (backward compatible). Includes 5 unit tests and updated stores.md documentation.

This broke cloud-proxy Linux builds and the cloud-proxy darwin entry lost its build-type/lang. Fixed by making them standalone entries and restoring cloud-proxy exactly as on master. 2.

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.

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). Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-fable-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * 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).

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

Validated: all capability targets in both metas resolve to existing entries, and every image URI's tag suffix matches a backend-matrix build. Also full-stack verified in this change's context (single-node local-ai from this branch, locally-built backend under --backends-path, Qwen3.5-2B GGUF): /v1/chat/completions non-stream (clean content + usage), streaming (SSE deltas), tool_choice auto engaging get_weather engine-side with schema-valid arguments and finish_reason=tool_calls, and streamed tool-call deltas in the standard name-first cadence.

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).

Gate the architecture list on CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION (exported by Dockerfile.golang): cuda-12 builds consumer Blackwell 120a only, cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary, arm64/l4t (cuda-13) keeps single-arch 121a with the Triton cubins. GB10 is arm64, so the amd64 cuda-12 image never served it - no capability change. Verified by Makefile dry-run variable dumps for all three combinations (cuda12 -> 120a; cuda13 -> 120a;121a; cpu -> CUDA off). Assisted-by: Claude Code:claude-fable-5 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> * fix(vllm-cpp): drop the cuda-12 variant - the engine needs the CUDA 13 toolchain Third CI round, third layer: with the arch list already narrowed to 120a, the cuda-12 (12.8) build still dies in ptxas compiling the sm_120a NVFP4 MMA kernels ("Vector type too large, exceeds 128 bit limit") - the Blackwell fp4 path genuinely requires the CUDA 13 toolchain, and vllm.cpp supports Blackwell-family GPUs only. Shipping a cuda-12 image without the fp4 kernels would be a crippled build of an engine whose whole GPU story is fp4, so the variant is dropped instead: - backend-matrix: cuda-12 vllm-cpp entry removed (cuda-13 amd64, l4t arm64, cpu, vulkan, metal remain). - gallery: cuda12 image entries removed; the nvidia capability now resolves to the cuda13 image in both metas; the nvidia-cuda-12 key is dropped so older-driver hosts fall back to the CPU image instead of an unrunnable one. - backend Makefile: BUILD_TYPE=cublas under CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=12 now fails fast with a clear message; cuda-13 keeps the 120a;121a fat binary and arm64/l4t keeps 121a with the Triton cubins. Verified: Makefile branch dumps for all four combinations (cuda12 loud error, cuda13 fat, arm64 121a+Triton, cpu off), YAML parses, matrix filter tests green, gallery capability targets all resolve.

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.

3 people	2d889e61a6	feat(backend): add magpie-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend (#11115) ... * feat(backend): add magpie-tts-cpp text-to-speech backend Add a Go + purego backend wrapping the magpie-tts.cpp ggml port of NVIDIA's Magpie TTS Multilingual 357M (encoder + autoregressive decoder over NanoCodec tokens), producing 22.05 kHz mono audio in 5 baked voices (Aria, Jason, John, Leo, Sofia; case-insensitive names or indices 0-4) across 9+ languages from a single self-contained GGUF. Mirrors qwen3-tts-cpp / moss-tts-cpp: dlopen the static-ggml shared library, bind the flat magpie_tts_capi_* C-API via purego (no local C shim needed, the upstream .so exports it directly), and serve the gRPC TTS + TTSStream methods behind base.SingleThread (the C context is not reentrant across synthesize calls). The backend CMakeLists translates the Makefile's -DGGML_{CUDA,METAL,VULKAN,HIP} flags into upstream's MAGPIE_GGML_* toggles (upstream FORCE-overwrites the ggml cache entries from those), pinned to magpie-tts.cpp v0.1.1 (e3f3dd1ebe22b64e7405f93b519f2d1930712568), which statically links ggml into libmagpie-tts.so (ldd shows only system libs). Wires the full registration: backend-matrix.yml (CPU amd64/arm64, CUDA 12/13, Intel SYCL f16/f32, Vulkan amd64/arm64, ROCm, NVIDIA L4T + L4T CUDA 13, and Darwin metal), backend/index.yaml metas and image entries, the root Makefile build targets, the changed-backends backend-filter path mapping, the bump_deps auto-bump matrix, a test-extra per-backend smoke job, the /backends/known pref-only importer entry, the backend capabilities map (TTS + TTSStream, no voice cloning), and the README / compatibility-table docs rows. Verified locally: unit + e2e Ginkgo suites pass against the real q8_0 GGUF (22.05 kHz mono WAV, RMS > 0.01), a live gRPC LoadModel + TTS round-trip returns valid non-silent audio, and the pre-commit gates (make lint, make test-coverage-check) pass, run manually with LOCALAI_TEST_HTTP_PORT overriding the locally-occupied 9090.

mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto	ff299df453	perf(http): gzip responses, cache hashed assets, bound the trace endpoints (#11056) ... Three measured HTTP-layer regressions on a live deployment, fixed together because they all shape the bytes on the wire. 1. No compression. The server sent no Content-Encoding regardless of what the client asked for, confirmed with curl straight at 127.0.0.1:8080 so it was not an ingress artefact. Adds gzip middleware, on by default and configurable via LOCALAI_DISABLE_HTTP_COMPRESSION and LOCALAI_HTTP_COMPRESSION_MIN_LENGTH (default 1024 bytes so tiny bodies are not wastefully wrapped). Streaming routes are skipped explicitly: an SSE Accept header, a WebSocket upgrade, and the completion / SSE / log-tail path prefixes, because whether a completion request streams is decided by the request body, which the middleware runs too early to see. Already-compressed formats (woff2, png, mp4, ...) are skipped too; gzip made those marginally larger. Measured over the embedded React build: JS+CSS 2815 KB raw to 808 KB gzipped (3.48x). 2. No cache headers on content-hashed assets. Vite hashes the filenames, so a given /assets/ URL can never change content, yet they shipped with no Cache-Control, ETag or Last-Modified, and the browser re-fetched the whole bundle on every navigation with no conditional request available. /assets/* now carries public, max-age=31536000, immutable. index.html stays no-cache so a deploy is picked up, and the unhashed locale JSONs get a short TTL rather than the immutable one. 3. Unbounded trace endpoints. /api/traces returned 21,033,606 bytes in 4.65s and /api/backend-traces 3,471,682 bytes in 1.50s, and the admin UI polls both every few seconds. The ring buffer holds up to 1024 entries, each embedding full input_text payloads. Both list endpoints now take limit / offset / full, default to 50 entries, and strip the heavy fields (request and response bodies plus headers for API traces, body and data for backend traces) unless full=true. Every trace gets a process-lifetime ID and GET /api/traces/{id} and /api/backend-traces/{id} serve the full record, which is what the UI fetches when a row is expanded. The list body stays a JSON array; paging metadata rides in X-Total-Count, X-Trace-Offset and X-Trace-Limit. Reproducing the live shape in a test, the polled payload goes from 21,131,097 bytes to 7,201 bytes.

localai-org-maint-botandlocalai-org-maint-bot	1e0baec2a7	fix(ci): repair nightly backend dep bumps for renamed localai-org repos (#11012) ... The "Bump Backend dependencies" workflow has failed every night for over ten days. Four upstreams — ced.cpp, moss-transcribe.cpp, voice-detect.cpp and rf-detr.cpp — moved from the mudler org to localai-org, so the GitHub API answers 301 for the old slugs. ced.cpp additionally renamed its default branch to main. bump_deps.sh fetched without -L or -f and never checked the response, so the redirect's JSON body was passed straight to sed, which died with "unterminated `s' command". The loud failure was luck: an error body without slashes would have been substituted into the Makefile as the new pin, silently corrupting the version and shipping it in a bump PR. Point the matrix at the new slugs and branch, and harden the script so a bad response can never reach sed: follow redirects, fail on HTTP errors, and require a bare 40-hex SHA before rewriting anything. Also refresh the now-stale repository URLs in the backend Makefiles, test scripts, backend/index.yaml and the docs. Verified all 25 matrix entries resolve to a commit SHA and that the four previously-failing jobs run end to end against the real API.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto	97175f4b5a	feat(model): debounce model loads after a failure to stop retry-storms (#10728) ... A client that keeps polling a model whose load fails (e.g. a backend that crashes deterministically on init) triggered a fresh backend start on every request: request -> load -> crash in ~10s -> 500, repeat on the next poll. Each attempt could leak GPU/CUDA state, and under LOCALAI_SINGLE_ACTIVE_BACKEND it kept stealing the active slot from healthy models. The existing loading-coalesce map only dedups *concurrent* loads, so sequential polls were never covered. Track load failures per modelID in ModelLoader. After a load fails, refuse fresh load triggers for that model until a cooldown elapses, returning a typed ModelLoadCooldownError that the HTTP layer maps to 503 with a Retry-After header. The cooldown grows exponentially per consecutive failure (base, doubling, capped at 5m) and resets on a successful load. The coalesced follower-retry of an in-flight burst bypasses the gate, so a genuinely concurrent burst still gets its one retry -- only new, independent triggers are refused, matching the report's "refuse new load-triggers" wording. Configurable via --model-load-failure-cooldown / LOCALAI_MODEL_LOAD_FAILURE_COOLDOWN (default 10s, 0 disables), plumbed through ApplicationConfig and applied unconditionally at startup.

On any multi-user host these collide across accounts: macOS routes `/tmp` to the shared `/private/tmp` for every user, so whichever account starts LocalAI first creates the parent with 0750 perms and every other account then fails startup with: unable to create ImageDir: "mkdir /tmp/generated/content: permission denied" unable to create UploadDir: "mkdir /tmp/localai/upload: permission denied" The same happens on Linux once a stale root-owned `/tmp/generated` (e.g. from a prior `sudo` run) is left behind. This bites the desktop launcher and any app embedding the raw binary (Wingman, nib-desktop), which start `local-ai run` with no path flags. Default both paths under the OS temp dir (`os.TempDir()`, honoring `$TMPDIR`; already per-user on macOS) namespaced by the current UID (`TMPDIR/localai-<uid>/...`), so accounts never collide while the paths stay ephemeral. Wired via new kong vars in main.go so every consumer of the raw binary inherits the fix. All content subdirs (audio, images) derive from `GeneratedContentDir`, so they are fixed transitively. As defense in depth, the launcher also anchors these two paths under its own per-user data directory (mirroring the #10610 fix for data/config), extracted into a testable `BuildRunArgs`.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto	de2ec2f136	feat(backends): add voice-detect + face-detect ggml backends (replace Python insightface/speaker-recognition) (#10441) ... * feat(voice-detect): add Go purego backend for voice-detect.cpp Add backend/go/voice-detect implementing the Backend gRPC voice subset (VoiceEmbed/VoiceVerify/VoiceAnalyze) over libvoicedetect.so via purego, mirroring the parakeet-cpp / omnivoice-cpp backends. The flat voicedetect_capi C ABI is dlopen'd cgo-less; malloc'd string and float-vector returns are owned by Go and released through the matching capi free functions, with the per-ctx last error surfaced into Go errors. Calls are serialized via base.SingleThread since the C context is not reentrant. Proto field mapping: - VoiceEmbed: VoiceEmbedRequest.audio (path) -> embed_path -> Embedding+Model. - VoiceVerify: audio1/audio2 + threshold (<=0 falls back to the verify_threshold option, default 0.25) -> verify_paths -> verified/distance/ threshold/confidence/model/processing_time_ms. - VoiceAnalyze: audio (path) -> analyze_path_json; the JSON age/gender/emotion document maps to a single VoiceAnalysis segment (start/end 0; gender "label" -> dominant_gender with the remaining float scores as the gender map; emotion label/scores -> dominant_emotion/emotion). The Makefile pins voice-detect.cpp to 47546430, clones+builds libvoicedetect.so with ggml static-linked (PIC, GGML_NATIVE off) so dlopen needs no external libggml/libvoicedetect; ldd on the artifact shows only system libs. Ginkgo tests cover option parsing and analyze-JSON mapping; embed/verify smoke specs gate on VOICEDETECT_BACKEND_TEST_MODEL + VOICEDETECT_BACKEND_TEST_WAV.

Referential integrity audited - every alias target resolves. - gallery/index.yaml: add 5 model entries on backend voice-detect - ECAPA-TDNN, WeSpeaker ResNet34, 3D-Speaker ERes2Net, CAM++ and the wav2vec2 age/gender/emotion analyze model. The engine architecture is read from GGUF metadata (voicedetect.arch) at load. GGUF artifacts are not yet published: each files: entry points at the intended mudler/voice-detect-gguf location with a TODO to fill sha256 after upload (no fabricated hashes). - .github/backend-matrix.yml: add the linux build matrix block + the darwin metal entry mirroring ced. - .github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml: track mudler/voice-detect.cpp via VOICEDETECT_VERSION (pin 47546430, = 4754643). - core/config/backend_capabilities.go: register voice-detect in the backend capability map (VoiceVerify/VoiceEmbed/VoiceAnalyze -> speaker_recognition), mirroring speaker-recognition. Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io> Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 [Claude Code] * feat(face-detect): add purego Go backend for face-detect.cpp Add the LocalAI Go backend that dlopens libfacedetect.so (the flat facedetect_capi_* C-ABI) via purego, mirroring the sibling voice-detect backend. Implements the Face subset of the Backend gRPC service: - Embeddings(PredictOptions): Images[0] base64 -> temp file -> embed_path -> L2-normalized ArcFace embedding. - Detect(DetectOptions): src -> detect_path_json -> Detection boxes (class_name "face", [x1,y1,x2,y2] -> x/y/w/h). - FaceVerify(FaceVerifyRequest): two images + threshold + anti_spoof -> verify_paths; best-effort img areas via detect. - FaceAnalyze(FaceAnalyzeRequest): img -> analyze_path_json -> per-face age + gender ("M"/"F" normalized to "Man"/"Woman"). The Makefile pins face-detect.cpp to 636a1963 and builds the shared lib with ggml + vendored libjpeg-turbo static (PIC), so the .so is ldd-clean (no libggml) and exports only facedetect_capi_* (no jpeg_ symbols). Gated Ginkgo e2e mirrors voice-detect. Note for the gallery-wiring task: backend registration (index.yaml, gallery, core/config/backend_capabilities.go) is intentionally not touched here.

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

Expand the 4 face-detect gallery models' known_usecases to [face_recognition, detection, embeddings] to match the backend capabilities map and the mirrored insightface-buffalo entries, so auto-selection for /v1/detect and /embeddings works.

On GPU it kills the im2col-materialization bottleneck and reaches torch-cuDNN parity on the spill-bound convs: SCRFD detect 14.8->6.4ms (2.3x, ~parity), WeSpeaker ~parity, ERes2Net beats torch (1.10x); ArcFace/CAM++ neutral (no spill).

Enable it for the CUDA build, but only where cuDNN actually ships: the arm64 + CUDA 13 image (GB10/Jetson/L4T). x86 CUDA images carry no cuDNN, so flipping it on globally for BUILD_TYPE=cublas would be a link failure. The Makefiles gate on CUDA_MAJOR_VERSION=13 + arch (TARGETARCH from the matrix/Docker build, uname -m fallback for local builds). backend/Dockerfile.golang already installs the runtime libcudnn9-cuda-13 in the arm64+CUDA13 apt block; add the matching libcudnn9-dev-cuda-13 so the build-time link resolves.

Ching	8344d1c865	feat(cli): add interactive chat mode (#10226) ... Add an opt-in `local-ai chat` command for testing chat models directly from the terminal without manually sending curl requests. The command connects to a running LocalAI server, lists available models through the existing OpenAI-compatible API, streams chat completions, and supports interactive commands such as `/models`, `/model`, `/clear`, and `/exit`. Keep `local-ai run` focused on the server lifecycle so the web UI, API clients, and multiple chat terminals can coexist against the same server. Document the new command and terminal workflow in the README and CLI docs.

Ettore Di Giacinto	551ebdb57a	fix(distributed): correct VRAM/RAM reporting on NVIDIA unified-memory hosts (#9545) ... Workers on NVIDIA unified-memory hardware (DGX Spark / GB10, Jetson AGX Thor, Jetson Orin/Xavier/Nano) were reporting `available_vram=0` back to the frontend, so the Nodes UI showed the node as fully used even when most of the unified memory was actually free. Three causes addressed: * `isTegraDevice` only matched `/sys/devices/soc0/family == "Tegra"`. DGX Spark (SBSA) reports JEDEC codes there instead — `jep106:0426` for the NVIDIA manufacturer — so the Tegra/unified-memory fallback never ran. Renamed to `isNVIDIAIntegratedGPU` and extended to also match `jep106:0426[:*]` via `/sys/devices/soc0/soc_id`. * The unified-iGPU code defaulted the device name to `"NVIDIA Jetson"` when `/proc/device-tree/model` was missing. That's what happens for Thor inside a docker container, and always on DGX Spark. New `nvidiaIntegratedGPUName` resolves via dt-model → `/sys/devices/soc0/machine` → `soc_id` lookup (`jep106:0426:8901` → `"NVIDIA GB10"`) so the Nodes UI labels the box correctly. * Worker heartbeat sent `available_vram=0` (or total-as-available) when VRAM usage was momentarily unknown — e.g. when `nvidia-smi` intermittently failed with `waitid: no child processes` under containers without `--init`. Each such heartbeat overwrote the DB and made the UI flip to "fully used". `heartbeatBody` now omits `available_vram` in that case so the DB keeps its last good value. Also updates the commented GPU blocks in both compose files with `NVIDIA_DRIVER_CAPABILITIES=compute,utility`, `capabilities: [gpu, utility]`, and `init: true`, and documents the requirement in the distributed-mode and nvidia-l4t pages. Without `utility`, NVML/`nvidia-smi` are absent inside the container, which is what put the DGX Spark worker into the buggy fallback in the first place. Detection verified on live hardware (dgx.casa / GB10 and 192.168.68.23 / Thor) by running a cross-compiled probe of the new helpers on both host and inside the worker container.

Ettore Di Giacinto	39573ecd2a	chore(whisperx): drop ROCm/hipblas build target (#9474) ... whisperx has no upstream AMD GPU support and its core transcription path (faster-whisper -> ctranslate2) falls back to CPU on AMD since the PyPI ctranslate2 is CUDA-only. The torch rocm wheels would accelerate only the alignment/diarization stages, producing a misleadingly half-working image. Drop the hipblas variant rather than shipping a partially accelerated build users can't distinguish from the real thing. AMD hosts now fall through the capability map to cpu-whisperx / cpu-whisperx-development. Also removes the now-dangling rocm-whisperx assertion from pkg/system/capabilities_test.go and the ROCm mention from the whisperx row in docs/content/reference/compatibility-table.md.

Ettore Di Giacinto	0e7c0adee4	docs: document tool calling on vLLM and MLX backends ... openai-functions.md used to claim LocalAI tool calling worked only on llama.cpp-compatible models. That was true when it was written; it's not true now — vLLM (since PR #9328) and MLX/MLX-VLM both extract structured tool calls from model output. - openai-functions.md: new 'Supported backends' matrix covering llama.cpp, vllm, vllm-omni, mlx, mlx-vlm, with the key distinction that vllm needs an explicit tool_parser: option while mlx auto- detects from the chat template. Reasoning content (think tags) is extracted on the same set of backends. Added setup snippets for both the vllm and mlx paths, and noted the gallery importer pre-fills tool_parser:/reasoning_parser: for known families. - compatibility-table.md: fix the stale 'Streaming: no' for vllm, vllm-omni, mlx, mlx-vlm (all four support streaming now). Add 'Functions' to their capabilities. Also widen the MLX Acceleration column to reflect the CPU/CUDA/Jetson L4T backends that already exist in backend/index.yaml — 'Metal' on its own was misleading.	2026-04-13 16:58:55 +00:00
