-# Working on the dllm Backend
-
-`mudler/dllm.cpp` is a standalone C++/ggml engine for DiffusionGemma
-block-diffusion models. LocalAI wraps it with a **pure-Go** backend at
-`backend/go/dllm/` that dlopens `libdllm.so` via purego (ebitengine/purego) -
-NOT cgo, and NOT a C++ grpc-server fork. The Go side owns chat templating
-(gemma4 renderer) and output parsing (gemma4 streaming parser) and implements
-the rich gRPC interface (`PredictRich`/`PredictStreamRich`, ChatDelta replies).
-
-> NOTE: github.com/mudler/dllm.cpp is still **private** (publishing is
-> planned). Until then the Makefile's anonymous clone fails; use the local-dev
-> symlink shortcut documented at the top of `backend/go/dllm/Makefile`
-> (symlink an out-of-tree `build/libdllm.so` into the backend dir and skip the
-> clone), or a git credential helper with repo access.
-
-## Pin
-
-`backend/go/dllm/Makefile` pins `DLLM_VERSION?=<sha>` at the top
-(whisper / parakeet-cpp / ds4 convention). The bump-deps bot
-(`.github/workflows/bump_deps.yaml`) tracks `mudler/dllm.cpp` `main` and
-rewrites that variable. After a manual bump: `make -C backend/go/dllm purge &&
-make -C backend/go/dllm` (the clone is keyed on the directory existing, not
-the sha).
-
-## C-ABI and the serialization contract
-
-The binding covers the 9-symbol flat C-ABI from dllm.cpp's
-`include/dllm_capi.h` (ABI v1; `main.go` hard-fails on a version mismatch):
-`abi_version, load, free, last_error, free_string, tokenize_json, generate,
-generate_stream, cancel`. Contract points the Go wiring encodes (`capi.go`
-header comment has the full list):
-
-- **One ctx = one concurrent generate/tokenize.** A per-model worker
-  goroutine (`Dllm.jobs` in `dllm.go`) owns ALL C calls, making the
-  serialization structural instead of lock discipline.
-- **`dllm_capi_cancel` is the ONE exception**: it only flips an atomic and may
-  be called from any goroutine mid-generate, so `Dllm.Cancel` bypasses the
-  worker queue. The flag resets at the start of each generate, so a watchdog
-  racing a new generate must re-issue cancel.
-- **`last_error` is a borrowed pointer** and must only be read AFTER the
-  failing call returned (never while a generate is in flight on the same ctx).
-- **Free vs in-flight requests**: requests hold `genMu.RLock` for their full
-  duration; `Free` takes the write lock, so it only runs when nothing is in
-  flight, then drains and closes the worker. Post-Free requests get a clean
-  "model not loaded" error.
-- `tokenize_json`/`generate` return malloc'd `char*` (bound as `uintptr`,
-  copied, then `dllm_capi_free_string`d); opts/params JSON must be a FLAT
-  object of scalars (`buildOptsJSON` rejects anything else).
-
-## Wire shape
-
-| RPC | Implementation |
-|---|---|
-| LoadModel | `dllm_capi_load` (params: `n_gpu_layers`, `n_threads`, `ctx_len`); `Options[]` parsed into per-request gen opts (`eb_*`, `blocks`, `kv_cache`) by `parseModelGenOpts` |
-| PredictRich | render (if templated) → `dllm_capi_generate` → parse → ONE Reply with aggregated ChatDeltas + legacy `Message` bytes |
-| PredictStreamRich | `dllm_capi_generate_stream`; per committed diffusion block → UTF-8 holdback → parser.Feed → one Reply per non-empty delta batch (channel closed by the CALLER, per `pkg/grpc/interface.go`) |
-| Predict / PredictStream | Legacy paths, delegate to the rich pair (legacy stream INVERTS channel ownership: the impl closes) |
-| TokenizeString | `dllm_capi_tokenize_json` (C side prepends BOS per `vocab.add_bos`) |
-| Cancel | `dllm_capi_cancel`, exposed as the `grpc.Cancellable` capability (`pkg/grpc/interface.go`): the gRPC server arms it via `context.AfterFunc` on the Predict/PredictStream context, so client disconnects/timeouts abort the in-flight generate - llama.cpp `IsCancelled()` parity for Go backends |
-
-`n_threads` and `ctx_len` are accepted-but-ignored by the engine at the
-current pin (the context bound comes from GGUF `n_ctx_train`); they are sent
-for forward compatibility.
-
-## Renderer / parser (the templated chat path)
-
-With `use_tokenizer_template` + raw Messages, the backend owns templating and
-parsing (the ds4 precedent, but in Go):
-
-- `gemma4_renderer.go` - `RenderGemma4(msgs, toolsJSON, enableThinking,
-  addGenerationPrompt)`. The file embeds the FULL `tokenizer.chat_template`
-  jinja (17466 bytes, md5 `8c34cf93c7a7815b3fdb300a009c4c17`) extracted
-  verbatim from `diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-BF16.gguf` via gguf-py - e.g.
-  `python scripts/dump_gguf.py model.gguf | grep -A400 chat_template` in the
-  dllm.cpp checkout - as a numbered comment block; every Go rule cites its
-  "tpl L<n>" line. Re-verify the md5 before blaming the renderer for a
-  mismatch with a new GGUF. **BOS exception**: the template emits
-  `{{- bos_token -}}` but the renderer deliberately does NOT - dllm.cpp's
-  `run_generate` tokenizes with `prepend_bos = vocab.add_bos` (true for
-  gemma4), so a literal `<bos>` would double it.
-- `gemma4_parser.go` - streaming state machine turning raw model text
-  (fragments can split anywhere, including mid-marker) into ChatDeltas:
-  thought channels → `reasoning_content`, `<|tool_call>call:name{...}` →
-  ToolCallDelta, `<turn|>` → done. Marker grammar cross-checked against vLLM
-  PR #45163's gemma4 tool/reasoning parsers. Malformed payloads are re-emitted
-  raw as content, never dropped.
-- Thinking is **opt-in** for this family (`Metadata["enable_thinking"]`,
-  default OFF - the inverse of ds4): the template gates every thinking branch
-  on `enable_thinking`, and the no-thinking render pre-closes an empty thought
-  channel, so the parser always starts in content state.
-- **UTF-8 boundary holdback** (`splitValidUTF8` in `dllm.go`): per-block
-  detokenization can split a multi-byte character across block boundaries, and
-  grpc-go refuses to marshal invalid UTF-8 in proto3 strings. An incomplete
-  trailing sequence (at most 3 bytes) is carried into the next block; genuinely
-  undecodable bytes become U+FFFD.
-
-Without `use_tokenizer_template`, the prompt passes through verbatim and the
-output is NOT gemma4-parsed (plain content, like any non-autoparsing backend).
-
-## Tests
-
-| Layer | Gate | What |
-|---|---|---|
-| `backend/go/dllm/*_test.go` (renderer/parser/wiring) | none - run in plain `go test ./backend/go/dllm/...` | Ginkgo specs over a fake `generator` seam; canonical renderer fixtures from transformers' `test_modeling_diffusion_gemma.py`, parser tables from the vLLM gemma4 parsers |
-| `backend/go/dllm/dllm_test.go` C-ABI smoke | `DLLM_TEST_LIBRARY` + `DLLM_TEST_TINY_MODEL` (dllm.cpp's `tests/fixtures/tiny_with_vocab.gguf`); Skips when unset | Drives the real `libdllm.so`: ABI check, load, tokenize `[2,18]`, deterministic generate, cancel (incl. mid-stream `Dllm.Cancel` aborting a deliberately slow `eb_max_steps:256` run in ~10ms) |
-| `tests/e2e-backends/dllm_test.go` | `BACKEND_TEST_DLLM=1` + `BACKEND_BINARY` (packaged run.sh) + `BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_FILE` (tiny fixture) | Templated chat round trip (Messages + UseTokenizerTemplate) over the real gRPC binary, non-streaming + streaming; plus client-context cancellation mid-stream (proves the `Cancellable` server plumbing end to end) |
-| Real-model e2e | `BACKEND_TEST_DLLM_REAL_MODEL_FILE` (26B BF16, ~50 GB) + `BACKEND_TEST_DLLM_REAL_GPU_LAYERS` | CUDA-13-class hardware only |
-
-Tool-call e2e is deliberately absent from the tiny-model spec: the fixture has
-random weights and cannot be coaxed into emitting tool markup; the unit tables
-carry that coverage.
-
-## Build matrix
-
-`cpu-dllm` (amd64 + arm64), `cuda13-dllm` (amd64), and
-`cuda13-nvidia-l4t-arm64-dllm` (arm64 CUDA: Jetson / DGX Spark GB10), via
-`.github/backend-matrix.yml`. No darwin/Metal. CUDA builds forward
-`-DDLLM_CUDA=ON` (dllm.cpp gates ggml's CUDA behind its own flag - a bare
-`-DGGML_CUDA=ON` is overridden by the cache FORCE). `libdllm.so` is
-self-contained (ggml statically absorbed, PIC), so `package.sh` only ships
-the binary, `run.sh` and that one .so (the parakeet-cpp-style stub layout;
-no ldd walk yet).
-
-## Known limitations
-
-- **Cancel granularity**: the C-ABI cancel flag is per-ctx and resets on
-  every generate entry, so a Cancel racing a NEW generate can be lost, and
-  with requests queued on the worker it aborts whichever generate is
-  currently running (acceptable: the server de-registers the hook on normal
-  completion, one process serves one model).
-- **Throughput**: ~0.15 tok/s on the 26B at default settings (GB10) - every
-  denoise step recomputes the full prompt+canvas. The upstream prefix-KV
-  cache (dllm.cpp P3) is the fix; `kv_cache:on` errors until it lands
-  (`auto`/`off` are accepted no-ops).
-- **Repo privacy**: see the note at the top - CI clone of dllm.cpp needs the
-  repo published (or credentials) before the backend images can build.
-- Engine spec/validation references: dllm.cpp `docs/validation.md` and
-  LocalAI `docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-10-dllm-cpp-design.md`.

-hip: port the turboquant CUDA additions that ggml's HIP shim doesn't cover
-
-The turboquant fork adds/modifies a few ggml-cuda.cu spots with CUDA APIs
-that ggml's HIP (and MUSA) compatibility layer does not provide, breaking
-the -gpu-rocm-hipblas-turboquant build:
-
-  1. ggml_cuda_copy2d_across_devices() (host-staged cross-device copy for
-     split mul_mat output) uses the CUDA 3D-peer copy APIs
-     cudaMemcpy3DPeerParms / make_cudaPitchedPtr / make_cudaExtent /
-     cudaMemcpy3DPeerAsync. HIP genuinely does not support these (see the
-     fork's own comment "HIP does not support cudaMemcpy3DPeerAsync"), so
-     guard the peer fast path with #if !defined(GGML_USE_HIP) &&
-     !defined(GGML_USE_MUSA) -- matching how the fork already guards the
-     same API for the sibling 2D copy -- and fall through to the existing
-     cudaMemcpyAsync staging fallback below (functionally identical,
-     slightly slower on multi-GPU ROCm).
-
-  2. ggml_backend_cuda_device_event_new() creates its event with plain
-     cudaEventCreate, which ggml's HIP shim does not alias (it only aliases
-     cudaEventCreateWithFlags). Use cudaEventCreateWithFlags(..., 
-     cudaEventDisableTiming) -- exactly what the rest of this file already
-     does (cf. lines ~1034, ~3461) and HIP-safe.
-
-CUDA builds are unaffected. Drop the relevant hunk once the fork HIP-ports
-these; apply-patches.sh fails fast if an anchor goes stale.

-//     below) and vllm/reasoning/gemma4_reasoning_parser.py (channel markers,
-//     the "thought\n" role label, is_reasoning_end semantics).
-//
-// Initial state (derived from the generation prompt, tpl L356-L362, see
-// RenderGemma4):
-//   - enable_thinking=false: the prompt ends with "<|turn>model\n" +
-//     "<|channel>thought\n<channel|>" - an EMPTY thought channel, pre-opened

-//     plain content. Use NewGemma4Parser(false).
-//   - enable_thinking=true: the prompt ends at "<|turn>model\n" and the model
-//     opens and closes its own thought channel in the OUTPUT
-//     ("<|channel>thought\n...reasoning...<channel|>final answer", per the
-//     vLLM Gemma4ReasoningParser docstring). The parser still starts in
-//     content state - the channel markers in the output drive the switch.
-//     Use NewGemma4Parser(false) here too.
-//   - NewGemma4Parser(true) is for callers that pre-open the thought channel
-//     in the prompt themselves (appending "<|channel>thought\n" after the

-//     and everything is reasoning until the first <channel|>.
-//

-//     Content is otherwise emitted immediately (no unbounded buffering).
-//   - the tool-call state buffers the whole payload until <tool_call|>. This
-//     is unbounded in principle but bounded in practice by the model's
-//     diffusion canvas, and is required because the call:name{...} payload
-//     only becomes decodable (and trustworthy) once complete - the same
-//     reason vLLM's parser accumulates before parsing.
-//   - Close() flushes whatever is still held: partial markers come out as
-//     content/reasoning (per the state that held them); an unterminated
-//     channel header or tool-call payload is re-emitted RAW (including its
-//     opening marker) as content - malformed output is never silently
-//     dropped (mirrors vLLM extract_tool_calls returning the raw text as
