mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto a0f7faaa2a fix(sycl): stop building the ggml CPU variant matrix with icpx (#11321)
Since #11255 and #11276 every GPU image also builds ggml's CPU_ALL_VARIANTS
matrix, so a partial offload uses the host's SIMD kernels. That works
everywhere except SYCL, where the Makefile compiles the whole tree with
icpx -fsycl: icpx never finishes ggml-cpu/arch/x86/repack.cpp at
-march=sapphirerapids. In run 30765516644 both sycl_f16 and sycl_f32 stopped
at that translation unit and sat there for 5h30m with a single compile in
flight until GitHub killed the job at its 6h limit, and turboquant's f16 job
lost its runner outright. gcc compiles the same file in seconds in the vulkan
and CPU jobs of the same run, so the CPU variant matrix is only unbuildable
under icpx.

Route SYCL back to the portable fallback binary, which is what these images
shipped before #11255. run.sh already prefers *-cpu-all when present and falls
back otherwise, so nothing else has to change.

localai-org-maint-botandlocalai-org-maint-bot 9fe1165f61 fix(turboquant): retain CPU variants in GPU builds (#11276)
Select the CPU_ALL_VARIANTS target for x86 GPU images so partial offload uses runtime-selected host kernels. Keep GPU arm64 builds on the portable fallback until their toolchains consistently provide gcc-14.

Dimitris Karakasilisandlocalai-org-maint-bot c089caf320 feat(sycl): make the intel llama.cpp backend self-contained on any host (#10991)
* feat(sycl): make the intel llama.cpp backend self-contained on any host

The SYCL backend shipped an incomplete oneAPI runtime AND relied on a
host-provided GPU driver, so it only ran inside the build container. On a
bare host it died with "libze_loader.so.1 / libdnnl.so.3: cannot open
shared object file", and even with the host's Intel driver installed it
SIGSEGV'd during SYCL init when the host driver was built against a newer
glibc than the backend's bundled loader (rolling-release distros).

package_intel_libs now bundles the complete, coherent oneAPI runtime
(the missing MKL ILP64 / sycl_blas / tbb_thread + oneDNN + the dlopen'd
UR adapters, plus a sweep of the backend binaries' own direct deps) and
the Intel GPU userspace driver (libze_intel_gpu + libigdrcl + IGC + gmm)
with its OpenCL ICD manifest, mirroring how package_vulkan_libs bundles
Mesa. run.sh points the Level Zero and OpenCL loaders at the bundled
driver, and install-base-deps.sh installs it in the SYCL build image.
Bundling the driver is safe across kernels because it talks to the host
i915/xe via the stable DRM UAPI (unlike NVIDIA's kernel-locked
userspace).

Validated on Arch (glibc 2.43, i915): the backend loads and runs on an
Iris Xe with no host Intel packages installed.

* fix(sycl): install a driver that exists, and let the user choose their own

The driver install added earlier in this branch asked apt for
intel-level-zero-gpu, which is not a package in Ubuntu 24.04. apt fails
outright on an unknown name, so neither driver was installed, nothing was there
to copy, and the images carried no driver at all.

It now comes from Intel's own repository, which has 25.18 for this Ubuntu
release, against 23.43 from late 2023 in the Ubuntu archive. The archive driver
does not know any card released since, so a machine with a recent Intel GPU
would end up carrying a driver that cannot drive it. Anything that goes wrong
during that install fails the build on purpose: an unreachable repository is a
passing problem that a retry fixes, while quietly carrying a different driver,
or none, is a difference nobody would notice until a user reports an idle GPU.

run.sh used to overwrite whatever driver the user had chosen. Level Zero uses
only the driver it is given, so on a machine with a card too new for the
carried driver, the GPU would go unused with no way back. Both that setting and
the OpenCL one are now left alone when already set, and the docs say how to
point a backend at the machine's own driver.

The OpenCL setting also used to be applied whenever the backend held a driver
list, even when the driver it named had not been copied, which leaves OpenCL
with nothing instead of falling back to the machine's own driver. It now
requires the copied driver to be present, and the packaging leaves out the list
entry of any driver it did not copy. The oneAPI images list a processor-only
OpenCL library, which was being carried with nothing behind it.

Two more corrections in the packaging. The scan for libraries a program is
linked against only looked at files named llama-cpp-*, so turboquant and bonsai,
which are also built for Intel GPUs, were left with the incomplete set of
libraries this branch set out to fix; it now looks at every program in the
directory. And a build that should carry a driver but ends up without one now
says so, which is what a stale prebuilt base image looks like: such a backend
still runs on a machine that has its own driver, so nothing fails and the only
other symptom is a user reporting an idle GPU.

Backends now also ask the driver to report how much graphics memory is free,
without which llama.cpp reads zero on an integrated GPU, since such a chip
shares the system memory instead of having its own. turboquant and bonsai get
the same run.sh handling as llama.cpp.

The driver is only carried by the builds that start through run.sh, because
run.sh is what points Level Zero and OpenCL at it. The Python backends for
Intel GPUs start differently and would never load it, so they keep using the
machine's own driver rather than carrying several hundred megabytes they cannot
use.

Checked in a container on Ubuntu 24.04: the install brings driver 25.18 with
the files where the packaging expects them, an unreachable repository fails the
build, and the copied set resolves on its own once the machine's Intel packages
are moved away.

* fix(ci): rebuild every Linux backend when the GPU packaging script changes

scripts/build/package-gpu-libs.sh decides which GPU libraries end up inside an
image. The filter that builds the backend matrix listed it as an input of the
Python images only, so changing it rebuilt no Go and no C++ backend, even
though those run it from their own package.sh. A packaging fix aimed at the
Intel llama.cpp backend could merge and reach no image, which is the same
failure this rule was written to prevent.

* fix(sycl): carry only the driver Level Zero uses, not the OpenCL one

llama.cpp reaches an Intel GPU through Level Zero, which hands the driver
programs that are already compiled and so needs only the back end of the
graphics compiler. The OpenCL driver can be handed source code instead, so it
needs the compiler's front end as well, and that arrives with its own copy of
clang. Carrying it cost about 139 MB in every backend built for Intel GPUs, and
took the carried set from 123 MB to 261 MB.

Nothing here takes that path. No LocalAI code selects an OpenCL device, each
backend image holds one backend, and the documentation never described OpenCL
as a way to run models: the only mentions are a stale clblas row in the
BUILD_TYPE table, for a llama.cpp backend that no longer exists and that no
build matrix entry uses, and the sycl-ls troubleshooting hint. Before this
branch the packaging carried the OpenCL loader and adapter but no driver, so
the path could not work in a released image either. There is nobody to keep
working.

The driver list that OpenCL reads is no longer carried, and run.sh no longer
sets OCL_ICD_VENDORS, so OpenCL inside a container keeps using whatever the
image provides rather than being pointed at a directory with no driver in it.

Checked in a container against the real 25.18 driver: the carried set is 123 MB
with nothing unresolved, and Level Zero still reports the GPU with the
machine's own Intel packages moved out of the way. Neither the Level Zero
driver nor the compiler back end names the front end or clang among the
libraries it opens by name, so the leaner set is complete for this path.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 348f3c87c0 fix(gpu-libs): bundle hipBLASLt TensileLibrary data so ROCm backends stop falling back (#10660) (#10672) the
The ROCm packager copied rocBLAS kernel data (rocblas/library/*.dat) into the
bundled lib/ dir and run.sh pointed ROCBLAS_TENSILE_LIBPATH at it, but the
parallel hipBLASLt data dir (hipblaslt/library/TensileLibrary_lazy_gfx*.dat)
was never packaged and no HIPBLASLT_TENSILE_LIBPATH was set. The bundled
libhipblaslt.so therefore resolved its per-arch kernel data relative to itself,
found nothing, and silently fell back to slow generic kernels, logging:

    rocblaslt error: Cannot read "TensileLibrary_lazy_gfx1201.dat": No such file or directory
    rocblaslt error: Could not load "TensileLibrary_lazy_gfx1201.dat"

Fix, mirroring the existing rocBLAS handling:
- package-gpu-libs.sh: extract the rocblas data-dir copy into a reusable
  copy_rocm_data_dir helper and call it for both rocblas and hipblaslt.
- llama-cpp/turboquant run.sh: export HIPBLASLT_TENSILE_LIBPATH when the
  bundled hipblaslt/library dir exists.

The helper takes an optional ROCM_BASE_DIRS override so the copy is unit
testable without a real ROCm install; add a regression test that runs
package_rocm_libs against a fabricated ROCm tree and asserts both data dirs
are bundled.

Note: this bundles whatever gfx*.dat the build image's ROCm provides. If a
given arch's tensile data is absent from the shipped ROCm, that arch still
needs a ROCm bump; the packaging gap itself is fixed for every supported arch.

74f07ecc35 fix(backends): quote $CURDIR in run.sh (fixes backends in paths with spaces) (#10519)
fix(backends): quote $CURDIR in run.sh so backends work in paths with spaces

The backend launcher scripts derive their own directory with
CURDIR=$(dirname "$(realpath $0)") and then referenced it unquoted as
$CURDIR (e.g. [ -f $CURDIR/lib/ld.so ], export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$CURDIR/lib:...,
exec $CURDIR/<binary> "$@"). When a backend is installed under a path that
contains a space - notably macOS's ~/Library/Application Support/... - bash
word-splits the unquoted $CURDIR, so the test builtin fails with
"binary operator expected" and exec tries to run ".../Library/Application",
yielding "No such file or directory". The backend never starts, surfacing as
a gRPC "service not ready" error and an HTTP 500. Quote $CURDIR (and the
realpath "$0") in every affected run.sh; no logic changes.

LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 4ac67d255d feat: single-build ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS for llama-cpp + turboquant (x86/arm64/apple) (#10497)
* feat(llama-cpp): single x86 CPU build via ggml CPU_ALL_VARIANTS

Replace the per-microarch avx/avx2/avx512/fallback multi-binary build on
x86 with a single grpc-server plus the dlopen-able libggml-cpu-*.so set
that ggml's backend registry selects at runtime by probing host CPU
features. One build instead of four, broader microarch coverage (adds
alderlake AVX-VNNI, zen4 AVX512-BF16, sapphirerapids AMX), and the
shell-side /proc/cpuinfo probing in run.sh goes away.

Build/link notes:
- CPU_ALL_VARIANTS requires GGML_BACKEND_DL + BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON, so
  ggml/llama become shared objects. SHARED_LIBS is now a make variable
  (default OFF) so the override survives the recursive sub-make into the
  VARIANT build dir instead of being re-clobbered by the base flags.
- The cpu-all target also builds "--target ggml": the per-microarch
  backends are runtime-dlopened, not link deps, so they only compile via
  ggml's add_dependencies().
- hw_grpc_proto is pinned STATIC. Under BUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON it would
  otherwise become a DSO referencing hidden-visibility symbols in the
  static libprotobuf.a, which fails to link ("hidden symbol ... is
  referenced by DSO"). Keeping it static links gRPC/protobuf into the
  executable while only ggml/llama stay shared, so no PIC or base-image
  change is required.
- package.sh bundles the libggml-*.so set into package/lib; ggml finds
  them by scanning the bundled ld.so directory (/proc/self/exe), which
  run.sh launches from.

Scope: x86 only. arm64/darwin keep the single fallback build. The
ik-llama-cpp / turboquant forks and the other ggml C++ backends are
unchanged; the same recipe applies but is out of scope here.

Validated with a full docker build plus a live inference smoke test:
the model loads, ggml selects the AVX512_BF16 variant on a Zen-class
host, and tokens generate correctly.

* feat(llama-cpp,turboquant): extend CPU_ALL_VARIANTS to arm64 + turboquant

- llama-cpp: x86 AND arm64 now use the single llama-cpp-cpu-all build
  (only hipblas keeps the fallback build). ggml's arm64 variant table
  (armv8.x / armv9.x, plus apple_m* on darwin) is selected at runtime.
- turboquant: same recipe via a turboquant-cpu-all target. turboquant
  copies backend/cpp/llama-cpp's CMakeLists.txt + Makefile per flavor, so
  the hw_grpc_proto STATIC fix and the SHARED_LIBS / EXTRA_CMAKE_ARGS
  make-vars are inherited; the target just passes SHARED_LIBS=ON, the DL
  flags and --target ggml through, then collects the .so set. run.sh and
  package.sh updated to ship/select turboquant-cpu-all.
- Makefile lib-collection find now also matches *.dylib (for the darwin
  build, which emits dylibs rather than .so).

ik-llama-cpp is intentionally left unchanged: its pinned ggml has no
CPU_ALL_VARIANTS support and its IQK kernels require AVX2, so the
per-microarch dynamic backend set does not apply.

Scope still excludes the darwin packaging wiring (separate change).

* feat(llama-cpp,turboquant): arm64 gcc-14 for SME variants + darwin cpu-all packaging

  is rejected by the Ubuntu 24.04 default gcc-13. Build the arm64 variants with
  gcc-14 (installed in the compile step). The host only selects a variant it
  actually supports at runtime, but every variant must still compile.
- darwin: scripts/build/llama-cpp-darwin.sh builds llama-cpp-cpu-all instead of
  the fallback binary, keeps Metal (GGML_METAL stays ON; --target ggml also builds
  ggml-metal). The per-microarch libggml-cpu-*.dylib are placed in the package
  root next to the binary (darwin has no bundled ld.so, so ggml's executable-dir
  scan looks there), while the other shared dylibs go in lib/ for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH.

* fix(llama-cpp-darwin): distribute ggml backends by suffix (.so root, .dylib lib)

ggml emits its loadable backends (per-microarch CPU variants, metal, blas) with a
.so suffix even on darwin, while the core libraries (ggml-base/ggml/llama/
llama-common/mtmd) use .dylib. Split the distribution by suffix: .so DL backends
go in the package root for ggml's executable-directory scan, .dylib core libs go
in lib/ for DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH. The previous .dylib name-pattern matched none of the
variants.

Verified on an M4: ggml loads the apple_m4 CPU variant (SME=1) and Metal, model
loads and generates correct tokens.

* fix(llama-cpp,turboquant): only CPU_ALL_VARIANTS for pure-CPU builds, GPU uses fallback

The previous gate sent every non-hipblas build through llama-cpp-cpu-all, so the
GPU image builds (cublas, sycl_f16/f32, vulkan, nvidia l4t) compiled the whole CPU
microarch variant matrix on top of their already-huge GPU backend - blowing the
build time (the sycl job was only 59% done after 2h11m) - and the arm64 l4t build
failed at `apt-get install gcc-14` (exit 100) on the Jetson base.

Gate on an empty BUILD_TYPE instead: only the pure CPU image (build-type: '' in
.github/backend-matrix.yml) builds the CPU_ALL_VARIANTS set; every GPU build gets a
single fallback CPU grpc-server, since the accelerator does the compute. This also
confines the arm64 gcc-14 step (needed for the armv9.2 SME variants) to the CPU
build, away from the GPU base images.

Ettore Di Giacinto 95efb8a562 feat(backend): add turboquant llama.cpp-fork backend (#9355)
* 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.
