* feat(face-recognition): add insightface backend for 1:1 verify, 1:N identify, embedding, detection, analysis
Adds face recognition as a new first-class capability in LocalAI via the
`insightface` Python backend, with a pluggable two-engine design so
non-commercial (insightface model packs) and commercial-safe
(OpenCV Zoo YuNet + SFace) models share the same gRPC/HTTP surface.
New gRPC RPCs (backend/backend.proto):
* FaceVerify(FaceVerifyRequest) returns FaceVerifyResponse
* FaceAnalyze(FaceAnalyzeRequest) returns FaceAnalyzeResponse
Existing Embedding and Detect RPCs are reused (face image in
PredictOptions.Images / DetectOptions.src) for face embedding and
face detection respectively.
New HTTP endpoints under /v1/face/:
* verify — 1:1 image pair same-person decision
* analyze — per-face age + gender (emotion/race reserved)
* register — 1:N enrollment; stores embedding in vector store
* identify — 1:N recognition; detect → embed → StoresFind
* forget — remove a registered face by opaque ID
Service layer (core/services/facerecognition/) introduces a
`Registry` interface with one in-memory `storeRegistry` impl backed
by LocalAI's existing local-store gRPC vector backend. HTTP handlers
depend on the interface, not on StoresSet/StoresFind directly, so a
persistent PostgreSQL/pgvector implementation can be slotted in via a
single constructor change in core/application (TODO marker in the
package doc).
New usecase flag FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION; insightface is also wired
into FLAG_DETECTION so /v1/detection works for face bounding boxes.
Gallery (backend/index.yaml) ships three entries:
* insightface-buffalo-l — SCRFD-10GF + ArcFace R50 + genderage
(~326MB pre-baked; non-commercial research use only)
* insightface-opencv — YuNet + SFace (~40MB pre-baked; Apache 2.0)
* insightface-buffalo-s — SCRFD-500MF + MBF (runtime download; non-commercial)
Python backend (backend/python/insightface/):
* engines.py — FaceEngine protocol with InsightFaceEngine and
OnnxDirectEngine; resolves model paths relative to the backend
directory so the same gallery config works in docker-scratch and
in the e2e-backends rootfs-extraction harness.
* backend.py — gRPC servicer implementing Health, LoadModel, Status,
Embedding, Detect, FaceVerify, FaceAnalyze.
* install.sh — pre-bakes buffalo_l + OpenCV YuNet/SFace inside the
backend directory so first-run is offline-clean (the final scratch
image only preserves files under /<backend>/).
* test.py — parametrized unit tests over both engines.
Tests:
* Registry unit tests (go test -race ./core/services/facerecognition/...)
— in-memory fake grpc.Backend, table-driven, covers register/
identify/forget/error paths + concurrent access.
* tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go extended with face caps
(face_detect, face_embed, face_verify, face_analyze); relative
ordering + configurable verifyCeiling per engine.
* Makefile targets: test-extra-backend-insightface-buffalo-l,
-opencv, and the -all aggregate.
* CI: .github/workflows/test-extra.yml gains tests-insightface-grpc,
auto-triggered by changes under backend/python/insightface/.
Docs:
* docs/content/features/face-recognition.md — feature page with
license table, quickstart (defaults to the commercial-safe model),
models matrix, API reference, 1:N workflow, storage caveats.
* Cross-refs in object-detection.md, stores.md, embeddings.md, and
whats-new.md.
* Contributor README at backend/python/insightface/README.md.
Verified end-to-end:
* buffalo_l: 6/6 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed,
face_verify, face_analyze).
* opencv: 5/5 specs (same minus face_analyze — SFace has no
demographic head; correctly skipped via BACKEND_TEST_CAPS).

* fix(face-recognition): move engine selection to model gallery, collapse backend entries
The previous commit put engine/model_pack options on backend gallery
entries (`backend/index.yaml`). That was wrong — `GalleryBackend`
(core/gallery/backend_types.go:32) has no `options` field, so the
YAML decoder silently dropped those keys and all three "different
insightface-*" backend entries resolved to the same container image
with no distinguishing configuration.
Correct split:
* `backend/index.yaml` now has ONE `insightface` backend entry
shipping the CPU + CUDA 12 container images. The Python backend
bundles both the non-commercial insightface model packs
(buffalo_l / buffalo_s) and the commercial-safe OpenCV Zoo
weights (YuNet + SFace); the active engine is selected at
LoadModel time via `options: ["engine:..."]`.
* `gallery/index.yaml` gains three model entries —
`insightface-buffalo-l`, `insightface-opencv`,
`insightface-buffalo-s` — each setting the appropriate
`overrides.backend` + `overrides.options` so installing one
actually gives the user the intended engine. This matches how
`rfdetr-base` lives in the model gallery against the `rfdetr`
backend.
The earlier e2e tests passed despite this bug because the Makefile
targets pass `BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS` directly to LoadModel via gRPC,
bypassing any gallery resolution entirely. No code changes needed.

* feat(face-recognition): cover all supported models in the gallery + drop weight baking
Follows up on the model-gallery split: adds entries for every model
configuration either engine actually supports, and switches weight
delivery from image-baked to LocalAI's standard gallery mechanism.
Gallery now has seven `insightface-*` model entries (gallery/index.yaml):
insightface (family) — non-commercial research use
• buffalo-l (326MB) — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet50 + genderage, default
• buffalo-m (313MB) — SCRFD-2.5GF + ResNet50 + genderage
• buffalo-s (159MB) — SCRFD-500MF + MBF + genderage
• buffalo-sc (16MB) — SCRFD-500MF + MBF, recognition only
(no landmarks, no demographics — analyze
returns empty attributes)
• antelopev2 (407MB) — SCRFD-10GF + ResNet100@Glint360K + genderage
OpenCV Zoo family — Apache 2.0 commercial-safe
• opencv — YuNet + SFace fp32 (~40MB)
• opencv-int8 — YuNet + SFace int8 (~12MB, ~3x smaller, faster on CPU)
Model weights are no longer baked into the backend image. The image
now ships only the Python runtime + libraries (~275MB content size,
~1.18GB disk vs ~1.21GB when weights were baked). Weights flow through
LocalAI's gallery mechanism:
* OpenCV variants list `files:` with ONNX URIs + SHA-256, so
`local-ai models install insightface-opencv` pulls them into the
models directory exactly like any other gallery-managed model.
* insightface packs (upstream distributes .zip archives only, not
individual ONNX files) auto-download on first LoadModel via
FaceAnalysis' built-in machinery, rooted at the LocalAI models
directory so they live alongside everything else — same pattern
`rfdetr` uses with `inference.get_model()`.
Backend changes (backend/python/insightface/):
* backend.py — LoadModel propagates `ModelOptions.ModelPath` (the
LocalAI models directory) to engines via a `_model_dir` hint.
This replaces the earlier ModelFile-dirname approach; ModelPath
is the canonical "models directory" variable set by the Go loader
(pkg/model/initializers.go:144) and is always populated.
* engines.py::_resolve_model_path — picks up `model_dir` and searches
it (plus basename-in-model-dir) before falling back to the dev
script-dir. This is how OnnxDirectEngine finds gallery-downloaded
YuNet/SFace files by filename only.
* engines.py::_flatten_insightface_pack — new helper that works
around an upstream packaging inconsistency: buffalo_l/s/sc zips
expand flat, but buffalo_m and antelopev2 zips wrap their ONNX
files in a redundant `<name>/` directory. insightface's own
loader looks one level too shallow and fails. We call
`ensure_available()` explicitly, flatten if nested, then hand to
FaceAnalysis.
* engines.py::InsightFaceEngine.prepare — root-resolution order now
includes the `_model_dir` hint so packs download into the LocalAI
models directory by default.
* install.sh — no longer pre-downloads any weights. Everything is
gallery-managed now.
* smoke.py (new) — parametrized smoke test that iterates over every
gallery configuration, simulating the LocalAI install flow
(creates a models dir, fetches OpenCV files with checksum
verification, lets insightface auto-download its packs), then
runs detect + embed + verify (+ analyze where supported) through
the in-process BackendServicer.
* test.py — OnnxDirectEngineTest no longer hardcodes `/models/opencv/`
paths; downloads ONNX files to a temp dir at setUpClass time and
passes ModelPath accordingly.
Registry change (core/services/facerecognition/store_registry.go):
* `dim=0` in NewStoreRegistry now means "accept whatever dimension
arrives" — needed because the backend supports 512-d ArcFace/MBF
and 128-d SFace via the same Registry. A non-zero dim still fails
fast with ErrDimensionMismatch.
* core/application plumbs `faceEmbeddingDim = 0`, explaining the
rationale in the comment.
Backend gallery description updated to reflect that the image carries
no weights — it's just Python + engines.
Smoke-tested all 7 configurations against the rebuilt image (with the
flatten fix applied), exit 0:
PASS: insightface-buffalo-l faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000
PASS: insightface-buffalo-sc faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000
PASS: insightface-buffalo-s faces=6 dim=512 same-dist=0.000

PASS: insightface-opencv faces=6 dim=128 same-dist=0.000
PASS: insightface-opencv-int8 faces=6 dim=128 same-dist=0.000

* fix(face-recognition): pre-fetch OpenCV ONNX for e2e target; drop stale pre-baked claim
CI regression from the previous commit: I moved OpenCV Zoo weight
delivery to LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism, but the
test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv target was still passing
relative paths `detector_onnx:models/opencv/yunet.onnx` in
BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS. The e2e suite drives LoadModel directly over
gRPC without going through the gallery, so those relative paths
resolved to nothing and OpenCV's ONNXImporter failed:
LoadModel failed: Failed to load face engine:
OpenCV(4.13.0) ... Can't read ONNX file: models/opencv/yunet.onnx
Fix: add an `insightface-opencv-models` prerequisite target that
fetches the two ONNX files (YuNet + SFace) to a deterministic host
cache at /tmp/localai-insightface-opencv-cache/, verifies SHA-256,
and skips the download on re-runs. The opencv test target depends on
it and passes absolute paths in BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS, so the backend
finds the files via its normal absolute-path resolution branch.
Also refresh the buffalo_l comment: it no longer says "pre-baked"
(nothing is — the pack auto-downloads from upstream's GitHub release
on first LoadModel, same as in CI).
Locally verified: `make test-extra-backend-insightface-opencv` passes
5/5 specs (health, load, face_detect, face_embed, face_verify).

* feat(face-recognition): add POST /v1/face/embed + correct /v1/embeddings docs
The docs promised that /v1/embeddings returns face vectors when you
send an image data-URI. That was never true: /v1/embeddings is
OpenAI-compatible and text-only by contract — its handler goes
through `core/backend/embeddings.go::ModelEmbedding`, which sets
`predictOptions.Embeddings = s` (a string of TEXT to embed) and never
populates `predictOptions.Images[]`. The Python backend's Embedding
gRPC method does handle Images[] (that's how /v1/face/register reaches
it internally via `backend.FaceEmbed`), but the HTTP embeddings
endpoint wasn't wired to populate it.
Rather than overload /v1/embeddings with image-vs-text detection —
messy, and the endpoint is OpenAI-compatible by design — add a
dedicated /v1/face/embed endpoint that wraps `backend.FaceEmbed`
(already used internally by /v1/face/register and /v1/face/identify).
Matches LocalAI's convention of a dedicated path per non-standard flow
(/v1/rerank, /v1/detection, /v1/face/verify etc.).
Response:
{
"embedding": [<dim> floats, L2-normed],
"dim": int, // 512 for ArcFace R50 / MBF, 128 for SFace
"model": "<name>"
}
Live-tested on the opencv engine: returns a 128-d L2-normalized vector
(sum(x^2) = 1.0000). Sentinel in docs updated to note /v1/embeddings
is text-only and point image users at /v1/face/embed instead.

* fix(http): map malformed image input + gRPC status codes to proper 4xx
Image-input failures on LocalAI's single-image endpoints (/v1/detection,
/v1/face/{verify,analyze,embed,register,identify}) have historically
returned 500 — even when the client was the one who sent garbage.
Classic example: you POST an "image" that isn't a URL, isn't a
data-URI, and isn't a valid JPEG/PNG — the server shouldn't claim
that's its fault.
Two helpers land in core/http/endpoints/localai/images.go and every
single-image handler is switched over:
* decodeImageInput(s)
Wraps utils.GetContentURIAsBase64 and turns any failure
(invalid URL, not a data-URI, download error, etc.) into
echo.NewHTTPError(400, "invalid image input: ...").
* mapBackendError(err)
Inspects the gRPC status on a backend call error and maps:
INVALID_ARGUMENT → 400 Bad Request
NOT_FOUND → 404 Not Found
FAILED_PRECONDITION → 412 Precondition Failed
Unimplemented → 501 Not Implemented
All other codes fall through unchanged (still 500).
Before, my 1×1 PNG error-path test returned:
HTTP 500 "rpc error: code = InvalidArgument desc = failed to decode one or both images"
After:
HTTP 400 "failed to decode one or both images"
Scope-limited to the LocalAI single-image endpoints. The multi-modal
paths (middleware/request.go, openresponses/responses.go,
openai/realtime.go) intentionally log-and-skip individual media parts
when decoding fails — different design intent (graceful degradation
of a multi-part message), not a 400-worthy failure. Left untouched.
Live-verified: every error case in /tmp/face_errors.py now returns
4xx with a meaningful message; the "image with no face (1x1 PNG)"
case specifically went from 500 → 400.

* refactor(face-recognition): insightface packs go through gallery files:, drop FaceAnalysis
Follows up on the discovery that LocalAI's gallery `files:` mechanism
handles archives (zip, tar.gz, …) via mholt/archiver/v3 — the rhasspy
piper voices use exactly this pattern. Insightface packs are zip
archives, so we can now deliver them the same way every other
gallery-managed model gets delivered: declaratively, checksum-verified,
through LocalAI's standard download+extract pipeline.
Two changes:
1. Gallery (gallery/index.yaml) — every insightface-* entry gains a
`files:` list with the pack zip's URI + SHA-256. `local-ai models
install insightface-buffalo-l` now fetches the zip, verifies the
hash, and extracts it into the models directory. No more reliance
on insightface's library-internal `ensure_available()` auto-download
or its hardcoded `BASE_REPO_URL`.
2. InsightFaceEngine (backend/python/insightface/engines.py) — drops
the FaceAnalysis wrapper and drives insightface's `model_zoo`
directly. The ~50 lines FaceAnalysis provides — glob ONNX files,
route each through `model_zoo.get_model()`, build a
`{taskname: model}` dict, loop per-face at inference — are
reimplemented in `InsightFaceEngine`. The actual inference classes
(RetinaFace, ArcFaceONNX, Attribute, Landmark) are still
insightface's — we only replicate the glue, so drift risk against
upstream is minimal.
Why drop FaceAnalysis: it hard-codes a `<root>/models/<name>/*.onnx`
layout that doesn't match what LocalAI's zip extraction produces.
LocalAI unpacks archives flat into `<models_dir>`. Upstream packs
are inconsistent — buffalo_l/s/sc ship ONNX at the zip root (lands
at `<models_dir>/*.onnx`), buffalo_m/antelopev2 wrap in a redundant
`<name>/` dir (lands at `<models_dir>/<name>/*.onnx`). The new
`_locate_insightface_pack` helper searches both locations plus
legacy paths and returns whichever has ONNX files. Replaces the
earlier `_flatten_insightface_pack` helper (which tried to fight
FaceAnalysis's layout expectations; now we just find the files
wherever they are).
Net effect for users: install once via LocalAI's managed flow,
weights live alongside every other model, progress shows in the
jobs endpoint, no first-load network call. Same API surface,
cleaner plumbing.

* fix(face-recognition): CI's insightface e2e path needs the pack pre-fetched
The e2e suite drives LoadModel over gRPC without going through LocalAI's
gallery flow, so the engine's `_model_dir` option (normally populated
from ModelPath) is empty. Previously the insightface target relied on
FaceAnalysis auto-download to paper over this, but we dropped
FaceAnalysis in favor of direct model_zoo calls — so the buffalo_l
target started failing at LoadModel with "no insightface pack found".
Mirror the opencv target's pre-fetch pattern: download buffalo_sc.zip
(same SHA as the gallery entry), extract it on the host, and pass
`root:<dir>` so the engine locates the pack without needing
ModelPath. Switched to buffalo_sc (smallest pack, ~16MB) to keep CI
fast; it covers the same insightface engine code path as buffalo_l.
Face analyze cap dropped since buffalo_sc has no age/gender head.

* feat(face-recognition): surface face-recognition in advertised feature maps
The six /v1/face/* endpoints were missing from every place LocalAI
advertises its feature surface to clients:
* api_instructions — the machine-readable capability index at
GET /api/instructions. Added `face-recognition` as a dedicated
instruction area with an intro that calls out the in-memory
registry caveat and the /v1/face/embed vs /v1/embeddings split.
* auth/permissions — added FeatureFaceRecognition constant, routed
all six face endpoints through it so admins can gate them per-user
like any other API feature. Default ON (matches the other API
features).
* React UI capabilities — CAP_FACE_RECOGNITION symbol mapped to
FLAG_FACE_RECOGNITION. Declared only for now; the Face page is a
follow-up (noted in the plan).
Instruction count bumped 9 → 10; test updated.
Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-7[1m]
* docs(agents): capture advertising-surface steps in the endpoint guide
Before this change, adding a new /v1/* endpoint reliably missed one or
more of: the swagger @Tags annotation, the /api/instructions registry,
the auth RouteFeatureRegistry, and the React UI CAP_* symbol. The
endpoint would work but be invisible to API consumers, admins, and the
UI — and nothing in the existing docs said to look in those places.
Extend .agents/api-endpoints-and-auth.md with a new "Advertising
surfaces" section covering all four surfaces (swagger tags, /api/
instructions, capabilities.js, docs/), and expand the closing checklist
so it's impossible to ship a feature without visiting each one. Hoist a
one-liner reminder into AGENTS.md's Quick Reference so agents skim it
before diving in.

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.
* fix(schema): serialize ToolCallID and Reasoning in Messages.ToProto
The ToProto conversion was dropping tool_call_id and reasoning_content
even though both proto and Go fields existed, breaking multi-turn tool
calling and reasoning passthrough to backends.
* refactor(config): introduce backend hook system and migrate llama-cpp defaults
Adds RegisterBackendHook/runBackendHooks so each backend can register
default-filling functions that run during ModelConfig.SetDefaults().
Migrates the existing GGUF guessing logic into hooks_llamacpp.go,
registered for both 'llama-cpp' and the empty backend (auto-detect).
Removes the old guesser.go shim.
* feat(config): add vLLM parser defaults hook and importer auto-detection
Introduces parser_defaults.json mapping model families to vLLM
tool_parser/reasoning_parser names, with longest-pattern-first matching.
The vllmDefaults hook auto-fills tool_parser and reasoning_parser
options at load time for known families, while the VLLMImporter writes
the same values into generated YAML so users can review and edit them.
Adds tests covering MatchParserDefaults, hook registration via
SetDefaults, and the user-override behavior.
* feat(vllm): wire native tool/reasoning parsers + chat deltas + logprobs
- Use vLLM's ToolParserManager/ReasoningParserManager to extract structured
output (tool calls, reasoning content) instead of reimplementing parsing
- Convert proto Messages to dicts and pass tools to apply_chat_template
- Emit ChatDelta with content/reasoning_content/tool_calls in Reply
- Extract prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, and logprobs from output
- Replace boolean GuidedDecoding with proper GuidedDecodingParams from Grammar
- Add TokenizeString and Free RPC methods
- Fix missing `time` import used by load_video()
* feat(vllm): CPU support + shared utils + vllm-omni feature parity
- Split vllm install per acceleration: move generic `vllm` out of
requirements-after.txt into per-profile after files (cublas12, hipblas,
intel) and add CPU wheel URL for cpu-after.txt
- requirements-cpu.txt now pulls torch==2.7.0+cpu from PyTorch CPU index
- backend/index.yaml: register cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development variants
- New backend/python/common/vllm_utils.py: shared parse_options,
messages_to_dicts, setup_parsers helpers (used by both vllm backends)
- vllm-omni: replace hardcoded chat template with tokenizer.apply_chat_template,
wire native parsers via shared utils, emit ChatDelta with token counts,
add TokenizeString and Free RPCs, detect CPU and set VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE
- Add test_cpu_inference.py: standalone script to validate CPU build with
a small model (Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct)
* fix(vllm): CPU build compatibility with vllm 0.14.1
Validated end-to-end on CPU with Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct (LoadModel, Predict,
TokenizeString, Free all working).
- requirements-cpu-after.txt: pin vllm to 0.14.1+cpu (pre-built wheel from
GitHub releases) for x86_64 and aarch64. vllm 0.14.1 is the newest CPU
wheel whose torch dependency resolves against published PyTorch builds
(torch==2.9.1+cpu). Later vllm CPU wheels currently require
torch==2.10.0+cpu which is only available on the PyTorch test channel
with incompatible torchvision.
- requirements-cpu.txt: bump torch to 2.9.1+cpu, add torchvision/torchaudio
so uv resolves them consistently from the PyTorch CPU index.
- install.sh: add --index-strategy=unsafe-best-match for CPU builds so uv
can mix the PyTorch index and PyPI for transitive deps (matches the
existing intel profile behaviour).
- backend.py LoadModel: vllm >= 0.14 removed AsyncLLMEngine.get_model_config
so the old code path errored out with AttributeError on model load.
Switch to the new get_tokenizer()/tokenizer accessor with a fallback
to building the tokenizer directly from request.Model.
* fix(vllm): tool parser constructor compat + e2e tool calling test
Concrete vLLM tool parsers override the abstract base's __init__ and
drop the tools kwarg (e.g. Hermes2ProToolParser only takes tokenizer).
Instantiating with tools= raised TypeError which was silently caught,
leaving chat_deltas.tool_calls empty.
Retry the constructor without the tools kwarg on TypeError — tools
aren't required by these parsers since extract_tool_calls finds tool
syntax in the raw model output directly.
Validated with Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct + hermes parser on CPU:
the backend correctly returns ToolCallDelta{name='get_weather',
arguments='{"location": "Paris, France"}'} in ChatDelta.
test_tool_calls.py is a standalone smoke test that spawns the gRPC
backend, sends a chat completion with tools, and asserts the response
contains a structured tool call.
* ci(backend): build cpu-vllm container image
Add the cpu-vllm variant to the backend container build matrix so the
image registered in backend/index.yaml (cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development)
is actually produced by CI.
Follows the same pattern as the other CPU python backends
(cpu-diffusers, cpu-chatterbox, etc.) with build-type='' and no CUDA.
backend_pr.yml auto-picks this up via its matrix filter from backend.yml.
* test(e2e-backends): add tools capability + HF model name support
Extends tests/e2e-backends to cover backends that:
- Resolve HuggingFace model ids natively (vllm, vllm-omni) instead of
loading a local file: BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME is passed verbatim as
ModelOptions.Model with no download/ModelFile.
- Parse tool calls into ChatDelta.tool_calls: new "tools" capability
sends a Predict with a get_weather function definition and asserts
the Reply contains a matching ToolCallDelta. Uses UseTokenizerTemplate
with OpenAI-style Messages so the backend can wire tools into the
model's chat template.
- Need backend-specific Options[]: BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS lets a test set
e.g. "tool_parser:hermes,reasoning_parser:qwen3" at LoadModel time.
Adds make target test-extra-backend-vllm that:
- docker-build-vllm
- loads Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct
- runs health,load,predict,stream,tools with tool_parser:hermes
Drops backend/python/vllm/test_{cpu_inference,tool_calls}.py — those
standalone scripts were scaffolding used while bringing up the Python
backend; the e2e-backends harness now covers the same ground uniformly
alongside llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp.
* ci(test-extra): run vllm e2e tests on CPU
Adds tests-vllm-grpc to the test-extra workflow, mirroring the
llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp gRPC jobs. Triggers when files under
backend/python/vllm/ change (or on run-all), builds the local-ai
vllm container image, and runs the tests/e2e-backends harness with
BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME=Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct, tool_parser:hermes,
and the tools capability enabled.
Uses ubuntu-latest (no GPU) — vllm runs on CPU via the cpu-vllm
wheel we pinned in requirements-cpu-after.txt. Frees disk space
before the build since the docker image + torch + vllm wheel is
sizeable.
* fix(vllm): build from source on CI to avoid SIGILL on prebuilt wheel
The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel from GitHub releases is compiled with
SIMD instructions (AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 or AMX-BF16) that not every CPU
supports. GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest runners SIGILL when vllm spawns
the model_executor.models.registry subprocess for introspection, so
LoadModel never reaches the actual inference path.
- install.sh: when FROM_SOURCE=true on a CPU build, temporarily hide
requirements-cpu-after.txt so installRequirements installs the base
deps + torch CPU without pulling the prebuilt wheel, then clone vllm
and compile it with VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE=cpu. The resulting binaries
target the host's actual CPU.
- backend/Dockerfile.python: accept a FROM_SOURCE build-arg and expose
it as an ENV so install.sh sees it during `make`.
- Makefile docker-build-backend: forward FROM_SOURCE as --build-arg
when set, so backends that need source builds can opt in.
- Makefile test-extra-backend-vllm: call docker-build-vllm via a
recursive $(MAKE) invocation so FROM_SOURCE flows through.
- .github/workflows/test-extra.yml: set FROM_SOURCE=true on the
tests-vllm-grpc job. Slower but reliable — the prebuilt wheel only
works on hosts that share the build-time SIMD baseline.
Answers 'did you test locally?': yes, end-to-end on my local machine
with the prebuilt wheel (CPU supports AVX-512 VNNI). The CI runner CPU
gap was not covered locally — this commit plugs that gap.
* ci(vllm): use bigger-runner instead of source build
The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel requires SIMD instructions (AVX-512
VNNI/BF16) that stock ubuntu-latest GitHub runners don't support —
vllm.model_executor.models.registry SIGILLs on import during LoadModel.
Source compilation works but takes 30-40 minutes per CI run, which is
too slow for an e2e smoke test. Instead, switch tests-vllm-grpc to the
bigger-runner self-hosted label (already used by backend.yml for the
llama-cpp CUDA build) — that hardware has the required SIMD baseline
and the prebuilt wheel runs cleanly.
FROM_SOURCE=true is kept as an opt-in escape hatch:
- install.sh still has the CPU source-build path for hosts that need it
- backend/Dockerfile.python still declares the ARG + ENV
- Makefile docker-build-backend still forwards the build-arg when set
Default CI path uses the fast prebuilt wheel; source build can be
re-enabled by exporting FROM_SOURCE=true in the environment.
* ci(vllm): install make + build deps on bigger-runner
bigger-runner is a bare self-hosted runner used by backend.yml for
docker image builds — it has docker but not the usual ubuntu-latest
toolchain. The make-based test target needs make, build-essential
(cgo in 'go test'), and curl/unzip (the Makefile protoc target
downloads protoc from github releases).
protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc come via 'go install' in the
install-go-tools target, which setup-go makes possible.
* ci(vllm): install libnuma1 + libgomp1 on bigger-runner
The vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel ships a _C C++ extension that dlopens
libnuma.so.1 at import time. When the runner host doesn't have it,
the extension silently fails to register its torch ops, so
EngineCore crashes on init_device with:
AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
'init_cpu_threads_env'
Also add libgomp1 (OpenMP runtime, used by torch CPU kernels) to be
safe on stripped-down runners.
* feat(vllm): bundle libnuma/libgomp via package.sh
The vllm CPU wheel ships a _C extension that dlopens libnuma.so.1 at
import time; torch's CPU kernels in turn use libgomp.so.1 (OpenMP).
Without these on the host, vllm._C silently fails to register its
torch ops and EngineCore crashes with:
AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
'init_cpu_threads_env'
Rather than asking every user to install libnuma1/libgomp1 on their
host (or every LocalAI base image to ship them), bundle them into
the backend image itself — same pattern fish-speech and the GPU libs
already use. libbackend.sh adds ${EDIR}/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at
run time so the bundled copies are picked up automatically.
- backend/python/vllm/package.sh (new): copies libnuma.so.1 and
libgomp.so.1 from the builder's multilib paths into ${BACKEND}/lib,
preserving soname symlinks. Runs during Dockerfile.python's
'Run backend-specific packaging' step (which already invokes
package.sh if present).
- backend/Dockerfile.python: install libnuma1 + libgomp1 in the
builder stage so package.sh has something to copy (the Ubuntu
base image otherwise only has libgomp in the gcc dep chain).
- test-extra.yml: drop the workaround that installed these libs on
the runner host — with the backend image self-contained, the
runner no longer needs them, and the test now exercises the
packaging path end-to-end the way a production host would.
* ci(vllm): disable tests-vllm-grpc job (heterogeneous runners)
Both ubuntu-latest and bigger-runner have inconsistent CPU baselines:
some instances support the AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 instructions the prebuilt
vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel was compiled with, others SIGILL on import of
vllm.model_executor.models.registry. The libnuma packaging fix doesn't
help when the wheel itself can't be loaded.
FROM_SOURCE=true compiles vllm against the actual host CPU and works
everywhere, but takes 30-50 minutes per run — too slow for a smoke
test on every PR.
Comment out the job for now. The test itself is intact and passes
locally; run it via 'make test-extra-backend-vllm' on a host with the
required SIMD baseline. Re-enable when:
- we have a self-hosted runner label with guaranteed AVX-512 VNNI/BF16, or
- vllm publishes a CPU wheel with a wider baseline, or
- we set up a docker layer cache that makes FROM_SOURCE acceptable
The detect-changes vllm output, the test harness changes (tests/
e2e-backends + tools cap), the make target (test-extra-backend-vllm),
the package.sh and the Dockerfile/install.sh plumbing all stay in
place.
* feat: add PreferDevelopmentBackends setting, expose isMeta/isDevelopment in API
- Add PreferDevelopmentBackends config field, CLI flag, runtime setting
- Add IsDevelopment() method to GalleryBackend
- Use AvailableBackendsUnfiltered in UI API to show all backends
- Expose isMeta, isDevelopment, preferDevelopmentBackends in backend API response
* feat: upgrade banner with Upgrade All button, detect pre-existing backends
- Add upgrade banner on Backends page showing count and Upgrade All button
- Fix upgrade detection for backends installed before version tracking:
flag as upgradeable when gallery has a version but installed has none
- Fix OCI digest check to flag backends with no stored digest as upgradeable
* feat: add backend versioning data model foundation
Add Version, URI, and Digest fields to BackendMetadata for tracking
installed backend versions and enabling upgrade detection. Add Version
field to GalleryBackend. Add UpgradeAvailable/AvailableVersion fields
to SystemBackend. Implement GetImageDigest() for lightweight OCI digest
lookups via remote.Head. Record version, URI, and digest at install time
in InstallBackend() and propagate version through meta backends.
* feat: add backend upgrade detection and execution logic
Add CheckBackendUpgrades() to compare installed backend versions/digests
against gallery entries, and UpgradeBackend() to perform atomic upgrades
with backup-based rollback on failure. Includes Agent A's data model
changes (Version/URI/Digest fields, GetImageDigest).
* feat: add AutoUpgradeBackends config and runtime settings
Add configuration and runtime settings for backend auto-upgrade:
- RuntimeSettings field for dynamic config via API/JSON
- ApplicationConfig field, option func, and roundtrip conversion
- CLI flag with LOCALAI_AUTO_UPGRADE_BACKENDS env var
- Config file watcher support for runtime_settings.json
- Tests for ToRuntimeSettings, ApplyRuntimeSettings, and roundtrip
* feat(ui): add backend version display and upgrade support
- Add upgrade check/trigger API endpoints to config and api module
- Backends page: version badge, upgrade indicator, upgrade button
- Manage page: version in metadata, context-aware upgrade/reinstall button
- Settings page: auto-upgrade backends toggle
* feat: add upgrade checker service, API endpoints, and CLI command
- UpgradeChecker background service: checks every 6h, auto-upgrades when enabled
- API endpoints: GET /backends/upgrades, POST /backends/upgrades/check, POST /backends/upgrade/:name
- CLI: `localai backends upgrade` command, version display in `backends list`
- BackendManager interface: add UpgradeBackend and CheckUpgrades methods
- Wire upgrade op through GalleryService backend handler
- Distributed mode: fan-out upgrade to worker nodes via NATS
* fix: use advisory lock for upgrade checker in distributed mode
In distributed mode with multiple frontend instances, use PostgreSQL
advisory lock (KeyBackendUpgradeCheck) so only one instance runs
periodic upgrade checks and auto-upgrades. Prevents duplicate
upgrade operations across replicas.
Standalone mode is unchanged (simple ticker loop).
* test: add e2e tests for backend upgrade API
- Test GET /api/backends/upgrades returns 200 (even with no upgrade checker)
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrade/:name accepts request and returns job ID
- Test full upgrade flow: trigger upgrade via API, wait for job completion,
verify run.sh updated to v2 and metadata.json has version 2.0.0
- Test POST /api/backends/upgrades/check returns 200
- Fix nil check for applicationInstance in upgrade API routes
* feat: add toggle mechanism to enable/disable models from loading on demand
Implements #9303 - Adds ability to disable models from being auto-loaded
while keeping them in the collection.
Backend changes:
- Add Disabled field to ModelConfig struct with IsDisabled() getter
- New ToggleModelEndpoint handler (PUT /models/toggle/:name/:action)
- Request middleware returns 403 when disabled model is requested
- Capabilities endpoint exposes disabled status
Frontend changes:
- Toggle switch in System > Models table Actions column
- Visual indicators: dimmed row, red Disabled badge, muted icons
- Tooltip describes toggle function on hover
- Loading state while API call is in progress
* fix: remove extra closing brace causing syntax error in request middleware

feat: add --data-path CLI flag for persistent data separation
- Add LOCALAI_DATA_PATH environment variable and --data-path CLI flag
- Default data path: /data (separate from configuration directory)
- Automatic migration on startup: moves agent_tasks.json, agent_jobs.json, collections/, and assets/ from old config dir to new data path
- Backward compatible: preserves old behavior if LOCALAI_DATA_PATH is not set
- Agent state and job directories now use DataPath with proper fallback chain
- Update documentation with new flag and docker-compose example
This separates mutable persistent data (collectiondb, agents, assets, skills) from configuration files, enabling better volume mounting and data persistence in containerized deployments.

- This allows models like vllm-omni-wan2.2-t2v to appear in the video model selector UI
- Fixes issue #8659 where video generation models using vllm-omni backend were not showing in the dropdown
Co-authored-by: team-coding-agent-1 <team-coding-agent-1@localai.dev>
When a model is configured with 'known_usecases: [rerank]' in the YAML
config, the reranking endpoint was not being matched because:
1. The GuessUsecases function only checked for backend == 'rerankers'
2. The syncKnownUsecasesFromString() was not being called when loading
configs via yaml.Unmarshal in readModelConfigsFromFile
This fix:
1. Updates GuessUsecases to also check if Reranking is explicitly set to
true in the model config (in addition to checking backend type)
2. Adds syncKnownUsecasesFromString() calls after yaml.Unmarshal in
readModelConfigsFromFile to ensure known_usecases are properly parsed

fix: validate MCP configuration in model config
Fixes#7334
The Validate() function was not checking if MCP configuration
(mcp.stdio and mcp.remote) contains valid JSON. This caused
malformed JSON with missing commas to be silently accepted.
Changes:
- Add MCP configuration validation to ModelConfig.Validate()
- Properly report validation errors instead of discarding them
- Add test cases for valid and invalid MCP configurations
The fix ensures that malformed JSON in MCP config sections
will now be caught and reported during validation.
