Adds split_mode (alias sm) to the llama.cpp backend options allowlist,
accepting none|layer|row|tensor. The tensor value targets the experimental
backend-agnostic tensor parallelism from ggml-org/llama.cpp#19378 and
requires a llama.cpp build that includes that PR, FlashAttention enabled,
KV-cache quantization disabled, and a manually set context size.

Bumps ik_llama.cpp pin to 16996aeab7. Upstream 286ce32...16996ae adds a
trailing `const struct quantize_user_data *` parameter to
`ggml_quantize_chunk` (PR ikawrakow/ik_llama.cpp#1677) but leaves
`examples/llava/clip.cpp` unchanged because their build has moved to
`examples/mtmd/`. LocalAI's prepare.sh still copies from
`examples/llava/`, so the dead 7-arg call reaches the grpc-server
compile and fails. Patch the call site to pass `nullptr` for the new
param.

* fix(llama-cpp): include server-chat.cpp in grpc-server translation unit
Upstream llama.cpp refactor (ggml-org/llama.cpp#20690) moved the
OAI/Anthropic/Responses and transcription conversion helpers out of
server-common.cpp into a new server-chat.cpp, and server-task.cpp and
server-context.cpp now call those symbols (convert_transcriptions_to_chatcmpl,
server_chat_convert_responses_to_chatcmpl, server_chat_convert_anthropic_to_oai,
server_chat_msg_diff_to_json_oaicompat) via server-chat.h.
grpc-server.cpp builds as a single translation unit by #include-ing the
upstream .cpp files directly. Without including server-chat.cpp, the
declarations are satisfied at compile time via server-chat.h but the
link step fails with undefined references once LLAMA_VERSION crosses
the refactor commit (134d6e54).
Guard the include with __has_include so the same source stays buildable
on older LLAMA_VERSION pins that predate the refactor (where prepare.sh
won't copy server-chat.cpp into tools/grpc-server/).

Bump to ggml-org/llama.cpp@0d0764dfd2.

Upstream ik_llama.cpp commit e0596bf6 ("Autoparser") changed
common_params_sampling::grammar from std::string to a common_grammar
struct (type + grammar), which broke our two direct accesses:
- JSON ingest fed the field through json_value<common_grammar>(...),
for which nlohmann has no from_json adapter.
- JSON export emitted the struct directly, for which nlohmann has no
to_json adapter.
Wrap the incoming JSON string in common_grammar{COMMON_GRAMMAR_TYPE_USER, ...}
and serialize via the inner .grammar member, mirroring upstream's
examples/server/server-context.cpp.
Also bump IK_LLAMA_VERSION to 286ce324baed17c95faec77792eaa6bdb1c7a5f5
so the local-ai side lines up with the dependency bump in #9496.

* fix(turboquant): drop ignore-eos patch, bump fork to b8967-627ebbc
The upstream PR #21203 (server: respect the ignore_eos flag) has been
merged into the TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant feature/turboquant-kv-cache
branch. With the fix now in-tree, 0001-server-respect-the-ignore-eos-flag.patch
no longer applies (git apply sees its additions already present) and the
nightly turboquant bump fails.
Retire the patch and bump the pin to the first fork revision that carries
the merged fix (tag feature-turboquant-kv-cache-b8967-627ebbc). This matches
the contract in apply-patches.sh: drop patches once the fork catches up.
* fix(turboquant): patch out get_media_marker() call in grpc-server copy
CI turboquant docker build was failing with:
grpc-server.cpp:2825:40: error: use of undeclared identifier
'get_media_marker'
The call was added by 7809c5f5 (PR #9412) to propagate the mtmd random
per-server media marker upstream landed in ggml-org/llama.cpp#21962. The
TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant fork branched before that PR, so its
server-common.cpp has no such symbol.
Extend patch-grpc-server.sh to substitute get_media_marker() with the
legacy "<__media__>" literal in the build-time grpc-server.cpp copy
under turboquant-<flavor>-build/. The fork's mtmd_default_marker()
returns exactly that string, and the Go layer falls back to the same
sentinel when media_marker is empty, so behavior on the turboquant path
is unchanged. Patched copy only — the shared source under
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ keeps compiling against vanilla upstream.
Verified by running `make docker-build-turboquant` locally end-to-end:
all five flavors (avx, avx2, avx512, fallback, grpc+rpc-server) now
compile past the previous failure and the image tags successfully.
Add gfx1151 (AMD Strix Halo / Ryzen AI MAX) to the default AMDGPU_TARGETS
list in the llama-cpp backend Makefile. ROCm 7.2.1 ships with gfx1151
Tensile libraries, so this architecture should be included in default builds.
Also expose AMDGPU_TARGETS as an ARG/ENV in Dockerfile.llama-cpp so that
users building for non-default GPU architectures can override the target
list via --build-arg AMDGPU_TARGETS=<arch>. Previously, passing
-DAMDGPU_TARGETS=<arch> through CMAKE_ARGS was silently overridden by
the Makefile's own append of the default target list.

The shared grpc-server CMakeLists hardcoded `llama-common`, the post-rename
target name in upstream llama.cpp. The turboquant fork branched before that
rename and still exposes the helpers library as `common`, so the name
silently degraded to a plain `-llama-common` link flag, the PUBLIC include
directory was never propagated, and tools/server/server-task.h failed to
find common.h during turboquant-<flavor> builds.
Upstream llama.cpp (PR #21962) switched the server-side mtmd media
marker to a random per-server string and removed the legacy
"<__media__>" backward-compat replacement in mtmd_tokenizer. The
Go layer still emitted the hardcoded "<__media__>", so on the
non-tokenizer-template path the prompt arrived with a marker mtmd
did not recognize and tokenization failed with "number of bitmaps
(1) does not match number of markers (0)".
Report the active media marker via ModelMetadataResponse.media_marker
and substitute the sentinel "<__media__>" with it right before the
gRPC call, after the backend has been loaded and probed. Also skip
the Go-side multimodal templating entirely when UseTokenizerTemplate
is true — llama.cpp's oaicompat_chat_params_parse already injects its
own marker and StringContent is unused in that path. Backends that do
not expose the field keep the legacy "<__media__>" behavior.
Upstream llama.cpp (45cac7ca) renamed the CMake library target
`common` to `llama-common`. Linking the old name caused
`target_include_directories(... PUBLIC .)` from the common/ dir
to not propagate, so `#include "common.h"` failed when building
grpc-server.
chore: ⬆️ Update TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant to `45f8a066ed5f5bb38c695cec532f6cef9f4efa9d`
Drop 0002-ggml-rpc-bump-op-count-to-97.patch; the fork now has
GGML_OP_COUNT == 97 and RPC_PROTO_PATCH_VERSION 2 upstream.
Fetch all tags in backend/cpp/llama-cpp/Makefile so tag-only commits
(the new turboquant pin is reachable only through the tag
feature-turboquant-kv-cache-b8821-45f8a06) can be checked out.
* feat(backend): add turboquant llama.cpp-fork backend
turboquant is a llama.cpp fork (TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant, branch
feature/turboquant-kv-cache) that adds a TurboQuant KV-cache scheme.
It ships as a first-class backend reusing backend/cpp/llama-cpp sources
via a thin wrapper Makefile: each variant target copies ../llama-cpp
into a sibling build dir and invokes llama-cpp's build-llama-cpp-grpc-server
with LLAMA_REPO/LLAMA_VERSION overridden to point at the fork. No
duplication of grpc-server.cpp — upstream fixes flow through automatically.
Wires up the full matrix (CPU, CUDA 12/13, L4T, L4T-CUDA13, ROCm, SYCL
f32/f16, Vulkan) in backend.yml and the gallery entries in index.yaml,
adds a tests-turboquant-grpc e2e job driven by BACKEND_TEST_CACHE_TYPE_K/V=q8_0
to exercise the KV-cache config path (backend_test.go gains dedicated env
vars wired into ModelOptions.CacheTypeKey/Value — a generic improvement
usable by any llama.cpp-family backend), and registers a nightly auto-bump
PR in bump_deps.yaml tracking feature/turboquant-kv-cache.
scripts/changed-backends.js gets a special-case so edits to
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ also retrigger the turboquant CI pipeline, since
the wrapper reuses those sources.
* feat(turboquant): carry upstream patches against fork API drift
turboquant branched from llama.cpp before upstream commit 66060008
("server: respect the ignore eos flag", #21203) which added the
`logit_bias_eog` field to `server_context_meta` and a matching
parameter to `server_task::params_from_json_cmpl`. The shared
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp depends on that field, so
building it against the fork unmodified fails.
Cherry-pick that commit as a patch file under
backend/cpp/turboquant/patches/ and apply it to the cloned fork
sources via a new apply-patches.sh hook called from the wrapper
Makefile. Simplifies the build flow too: instead of hopping through
llama-cpp's build-llama-cpp-grpc-server indirection, the wrapper now
drives the copied Makefile directly (clone -> patch -> build).
Drop the corresponding patch whenever the fork catches up with
upstream — the build fails fast if a patch stops applying, which
is the signal to retire it.
* docs: add turboquant backend section + clarify cache_type_k/v
Document the new turboquant (llama.cpp fork with TurboQuant KV-cache)
backend alongside the existing llama-cpp / ik-llama-cpp sections in
features/text-generation.md: when to pick it, how to install it from
the gallery, and a YAML example showing backend: turboquant together
with cache_type_k / cache_type_v.
Also expand the cache_type_k / cache_type_v table rows in
advanced/model-configuration.md to spell out the accepted llama.cpp
quantization values and note that these fields apply to all
llama.cpp-family backends, not just vLLM.
* feat(turboquant): patch ggml-rpc GGML_OP_COUNT assertion
The fork adds new GGML ops bringing GGML_OP_COUNT to 97, but
ggml/include/ggml-rpc.h static-asserts it equals 96, breaking
the GGML_RPC=ON build paths (turboquant-grpc / turboquant-rpc-server).
Carry a one-line patch that updates the expected count so the
assertion holds. Drop this patch whenever the fork fixes it upstream.
* feat(turboquant): allow turbo* KV-cache types and exercise them in e2e
The shared backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp carries its own
allow-list of accepted KV-cache types (kv_cache_types[]) and rejects
anything outside it before the value reaches llama.cpp's parser. That
list only contains the standard llama.cpp types — turbo2/turbo3/turbo4
would throw "Unsupported cache type" at LoadModel time, meaning
nothing the LocalAI gRPC layer accepted was actually fork-specific.
Add a build-time augmentation step (patch-grpc-server.sh, called from
the turboquant wrapper Makefile) that inserts GGML_TYPE_TURBO2_0/3_0/4_0
into the allow-list of the *copied* grpc-server.cpp under
turboquant-<flavor>-build/. The original file under backend/cpp/llama-cpp/
is never touched, so the stock llama-cpp build keeps compiling against
vanilla upstream which has no notion of those enum values.
Switch test-extra-backend-turboquant to set
BACKEND_TEST_CACHE_TYPE_K=turbo3 / _V=turbo3 so the e2e gRPC suite
actually runs the fork's TurboQuant KV-cache code paths (turbo3 also
auto-enables flash_attention in the fork). Picking q8_0 here would
only re-test the standard llama.cpp path that the upstream llama-cpp
backend already covers.
Refresh the docs (text-generation.md + model-configuration.md) to
list turbo2/turbo3/turbo4 explicitly and call out that you only get
the TurboQuant code path with this backend + a turbo* cache type.
* fix(turboquant): rewrite patch-grpc-server.sh in awk, not python3
The builder image (ubuntu:24.04 stage-2 in Dockerfile.turboquant)
does not install python3, so the python-based augmentation step
errored with `python3: command not found` at make time. Switch to
awk, which ships in coreutils and is already available everywhere
the rest of the wrapper Makefile runs.

When TASK_RESPONSE_TYPE_OAI_CHAT is used, the first streaming token
produces a JSON array with two elements: a role-init chunk and the
actual content chunk. The grpc-server loop called attach_chat_deltas
for both elements with the same raw_result pointer, stamping the first
token's ChatDelta.Content on both replies. The Go side accumulated both,
emitting the first content token twice to SSE clients.
Fix: in the array iteration loops in PredictStream, detect role-init
elements (delta has "role" key) and skip attach_chat_deltas for them.
Only content/reasoning elements get chat deltas attached.
Reasoning models are unaffected because their first token goes into
reasoning_content, not content.

The C++ PEG parser needs a few tokens to identify the reasoning format
(e.g. "<|channel>thought\n" for Gemma 4). During this warm-up, the gRPC
layer was sending raw partial tag tokens to Go, which leaked into the
reasoning field.
- Clear reply.message in gRPC when autoparser is active but has no diffs
yet, matching llama.cpp server behavior of only emitting classified output
- Prefer C++ autoparser chat deltas for reasoning/content in all streaming
paths, falling back to Go-side extraction for backends without autoparser
(e.g. vLLM)
- Override non-streaming no-tools result with chat delta content when available
- Guard PrependThinkingTokenIfNeeded against partial tag prefixes during
streaming accumulation
- Reorder default thinking tokens so <|channel>thought is checked before
<|think|> (Gemma 4 templates contain both)
