mudler's LocalAI [bot]andEttore Di Giacinto 102d91414e fix(vllm-cpp): mirror the engine's ABI v10 so the backend loads again (#11386)
The Go bindings mirror vllm.h by hand and refuse a library whose
vllm_abi_version differs from what they were written against. Two
automated pin bumps (#11174, #11352) moved VLLM_CPP_VERSION onto engines
declaring ABI v10 while govllmcpp.go still mirrored v5, so every
vllm-cpp image built since then panics at startup on every platform:

  panic: vllm-cpp: ABI mismatch: library reports v10, backend built against v5

Grow both PODs to the v10 layout: vllm_model_params gains
speculative_config, enable_prefix_caching, max_num_batched_tokens,
scheduling_policy, kv_transfer_config and enable_jump_forward (88 bytes),
vllm_sampling_params gains the v8 logits-processor pair (136 bytes). The
offsets in the specs come from offsetof() against the pinned header. All
of the new fields are inert when zeroed, so the engine behaves exactly as
it did under v5; the backend sets none of them.

Nothing cross-checked the two files, which is why a blind pin bump could
ship a backend that cannot load. The library build now runs abi-check
first: it compares VLLM_ABI_VERSION in the fetched header against
abiVersion in govllmcpp.go and fails the build naming both, instead of
leaving the mismatch for a user's runtime.

Fixes #11379

# MLX GEMM provider (darwin/metal only; see the metal branch below for why).
# Consumed as the prebuilt pip wheel: building MLX from source needs `xcrun
# metal`, i.e. a full Xcode the macOS runners do not have, while the wheel ships
# include/, lib/libmlx.dylib and the compiled mlx.metallib ready to link.
#
# DEFAULT ON, but ONLY because VLLM_CPP_VERSION above is pinned at or past
# vllm.cpp 89c46aeb, which SHAPE-GATES the provider to prefill. The ordering is
# load-bearing, not incidental:
#
# pin >= 89c46aeb, MLX on -> 99.1% of MLX-LM (gated: prefill only)
# pin < 89c46aeb, MLX on -> ~51% (ungated: it also takes decode)
#
# MLX's steel GEMM wins prefill (537 ms TTFT against 602) and loses decode badly,
# because the provider pays an mx::eval sync plus an output memcpy per call and
# decode makes ~112 calls per TOKEN. Ungated it does both; gated it does only the
# good half. So if this pin is ever moved BACKWARDS, this default must go with it.
