Ettore Di Giacinto d67623230f feat(vllm): parity with llama.cpp backend (#9328)
* 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.
