LocalAI [bot] 3a87d9e48f feat(vllm): macOS/Metal support via vllm-metal (MLX) (#10489)
* feat(vllm): macOS/Metal support via vllm-metal (MLX)

Add an additive Apple-Silicon path to the existing vllm Python backend so
vLLM runs on macOS via vllm-metal (github.com/vllm-project/vllm-metal).

Spike outcome (proven on a real M4 / macOS 26.5, Qwen3-0.6B):
- vllm-metal registers through vLLM's platform-plugin entry point
  (metal -> vllm_metal:register); MetalPlatform activates and runs on the
  GPU through MLX.
- LocalAI's backend.py is UNCHANGED: AsyncEngineArgs(...) ->
  AsyncLLMEngine.from_engine_args transparently resolves to vLLM 0.23's v1
  AsyncLLM MLX engine, and async generate produced correct output.
- backend.py is NOT touched: its only empty_cache() call is CUDA-only
  (guarded by torch.cuda.is_available()), so the benign shutdown-only
  "Allocator for mps is not a DeviceAllocator" noise comes from vLLM's
  internal EngineCore teardown, not from our code.

Changes (all gated behind a darwin condition; Linux/CUDA/ROCm/Intel paths
are byte-for-byte unchanged):
- install.sh: darwin branch forces PYTHON_VERSION=3.12 (vllm-metal
  requirement), creates/activates LocalAI's managed venv via ensureVenv,
  then reproduces vllm-metal's installer INTO that venv (build vLLM 0.23.0
  from the release source tarball against requirements/cpu.txt, then install
  the prebuilt vllm-metal wheel from its latest GitHub release), and runs
  runProtogen. installRequirements is skipped on darwin.
- backend-matrix.yml: add a vllm includeDarwin entry (mps, python).
- index.yaml: add metal capability + concrete metal-vllm /
  metal-vllm-development child entries mirroring the metal-kitten-tts
  template.

Version coupling: vllm-metal pins vLLM 0.23.0, equal to LocalAI's current
vllm pin. Bumping vllm must be coordinated with a supporting vllm-metal
release; documented in install.sh and requirements-cublas13-after.txt.

* chore(vllm): track the darwin vllm-metal pin via the autobumper

The Apple Silicon build pinned vLLM 0.23.0 as a hidden string in install.sh
while floating the vllm-metal wheel on releases/latest - the two could drift
apart silently. Make both a tracked, reproducible pair (VLLM_METAL_VERSION +
VLLM_VERSION), fetch the wheel by tag, and add .github/bump_vllm_metal.sh wired
into bump_deps.yaml. It tracks vllm-project/vllm-metal (not vllm/vllm latest),
reading the coupled vLLM source version from vllm-metal's own installer, and
opens a bump PR - mirroring the existing bump_vllm_wheel.sh for the cu130 wheel.

* chore(vllm): derive the darwin vLLM version, drop the second pin

Follow-up: VLLM_VERSION was still a hardcoded string duplicating what
VLLM_METAL_VERSION already determines. Derive it at install time from
vllm-metal's own installer (vllm_v=) at the pinned tag - one source of truth,
no second value to drift. The bumper now touches only VLLM_METAL_VERSION;
the derivation is immutable per tag, so builds stay reproducible.

* fix(vllm): fetch the vllm-metal wheel without the GitHub API

The darwin build resolved the wheel URL via api.github.com, whose
unauthenticated rate limit (60/hr per IP) 403s on shared macOS runners
(observed after the 9-min vLLM source build). Construct the release-asset
download URL deterministically from the pinned tag and the cp312/arm64 wheel
name instead - no API call, no rate limit. Verified the URL resolves (200).

* fix(vllm): fail Score cleanly when the engine returns no prompt_logprobs

Audit of the Score path against vllm-metal (MLX on macOS): the engine accepts
SamplingParams(prompt_logprobs=1) but returns an all-None prompt_logprobs list
rather than computing it, so scoring is not supported there. The old guard
treated the truthy [None] list as valid and silently scored every candidate as
0. Detect the all-None case and return UNIMPLEMENTED instead. No-op on
Linux/CUDA, which populate real entries.

# Bump the single vllm-metal pin (VLLM_METAL_VERSION) in the vLLM backend's
# darwin (Apple Silicon) install path. The macOS/Metal build
# (backend/python/vllm/install.sh, Darwin branch) installs vllm-metal, which is
# version-locked to a specific vLLM source release. install.sh derives that vLLM
# version at build time from vllm-metal's own installer (`vllm_v=`) at the pinned
# tag, so there is only ONE value to bump here -- mirroring bump_vllm_wheel.sh,
# which bumps the Linux cu130 wheel pin.
#
# This deliberately tracks vllm-project/vllm-metal, NOT vllm-project/vllm: the
# darwin build can only use the exact vLLM version vllm-metal supports, so it may
# lag the Linux pin (requirements-cublas13-after.txt) until vllm-metal catches up.
