No -gpu-rocm-hipblas-llama-cpp image has been published since 2026-08-01.
Every build since has been killed by GitHub at exactly its 6h job limit:
job 91830652349 cancelled 6h00m (2026-08-04)
job 91763226161 cancelled 6h00m (2026-08-03)
job 91466626154 cancelled 6h00m (2026-08-02 full matrix)
The registry shows the damage: master-gpu-rocm-hipblas-llama-cpp last
built 2026-08-01 05:53, latest-gpu-rocm-hipblas-llama-cpp 2026-07-15,
against master-cpu-llama-cpp which is current.
Same cause as #11321, different mechanism. Since #11255 every x86 GPU
image also builds ggml's CPU_ALL_VARIANTS matrix. SYCL died because icpx
stalls on one translation unit; ROCm dies on volume. hipcc compiles the
HIP kernels once per entry in AMDGPU_TARGETS, and that list is eleven
architectures (gfx908, gfx90a, gfx942, gfx950, gfx1030, gfx1100, gfx1101,
gfx1102, gfx1151, gfx1200, gfx1201). The CPU matrix lands on top of that.
The numbers are unambiguous. The same job took 2h27m in the 2026-07-26
full matrix, before #11255. #11255 merged 2026-08-01 07:26, an hour and a
half after the last image was published, and it has been 6h00m ever since.
The tail of the last run shows it 61% through ggml-hip at the 83 minute
mark, still building HIP template instances.
Route hipblas to the portable fallback, exactly as #11321 did for SYCL and
for the same practical reason: it is what these images shipped before
#11255, and run.sh already prefers *-cpu-all when present and falls back
otherwise. Expected to restore the 2h27m build with room to spare.
Not fixed here: the CPU variant matrix is genuinely wanted on ROCm for
partial offload. Getting it needs the build to fit in 6h, which means
trimming AMDGPU_TARGETS or splitting the job per architecture. Both are
larger changes than unbreaking the image, and neither should ride along
with a build that is currently not shipping at all.
Verified: make test-build-scripts passes, including the extended
llama-cpp-build-target_test.sh. bonsai is unaffected (own compile script,
ROCm builds in 1h52m) and turboquant has no hipblas variant.

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.

Build the runtime CPU variant set alongside x86 GPU backends so partial offload uses the host's SIMD kernels instead of the scalar fallback. Keep arm64 GPU images on the portable binary until their builders consistently provide gcc-14.
