LocalAI [bot] bc4cd3dd85 feat(llama-cpp): bump to 1ec7ba0c, adapt grpc-server, expose new spec-decoding options (#9765)
* chore(llama.cpp): bump to 1ec7ba0c14f33f17e980daeeda5f35b225d41994

Picks up the upstream `spec : parallel drafting support` change
(ggml-org/llama.cpp#22838) which reshapes the speculative-decoding API
and `server_context_impl`.

Adapt the grpc-server wrapper accordingly:

  * `common_params_speculative::type` (single enum) became `types`
    (`std::vector<common_speculative_type>`). Update both the
    "default to draft when a draft model is set" branch and the
    `spec_type`/`speculative_type` option parser. The parser now also
    tolerates comma-separated lists, mirroring the upstream
    `common_speculative_types_from_names` semantics.
  * `common_params_speculative_draft::n_ctx` is gone (draft now shares
    the target context size). Keep the `draft_ctx_size` option name for
    backward compatibility and ignore the value rather than failing.
  * `server_context_impl::model` was renamed to `model_tgt`; update the
    two reranker / model-metadata call sites.

Replaces #9763. Builds cleanly under the linux/amd64 cpu-llama-cpp
target locally.

* feat(llama-cpp): expose new speculative-decoding option keys

Upstream `spec : parallel drafting support` (ggml-org/llama.cpp#22838)
adds the `ngram_mod`, `ngram_map_k`, and `ngram_map_k4v` speculative
families and beefs up the draft-model knobs. The previous bump only
adapted the API; this exposes the new fields through the grpc-server
options dictionary so model configs can drive them.

New `options:` keys (all under `backend: llama-cpp`):

ngram_mod (`ngram_mod` type):
  spec_ngram_mod_n_min / spec_ngram_mod_n_max / spec_ngram_mod_n_match

ngram_map_k (`ngram_map_k` type):
  spec_ngram_map_k_size_n / spec_ngram_map_k_size_m / spec_ngram_map_k_min_hits

ngram_map_k4v (`ngram_map_k4v` type):
  spec_ngram_map_k4v_size_n / spec_ngram_map_k4v_size_m /
  spec_ngram_map_k4v_min_hits

ngram lookup caches (`ngram_cache` type):
  spec_lookup_cache_static / lookup_cache_static
  spec_lookup_cache_dynamic / lookup_cache_dynamic

Draft-model tuning (active when `spec_type` is `draft`):
  draft_cache_type_k / spec_draft_cache_type_k
  draft_cache_type_v / spec_draft_cache_type_v
  draft_threads / spec_draft_threads
  draft_threads_batch / spec_draft_threads_batch
  draft_cpu_moe / spec_draft_cpu_moe          (bool flag)
  draft_n_cpu_moe / spec_draft_n_cpu_moe      (first N MoE layers on CPU)
  draft_override_tensor / spec_draft_override_tensor
    (comma-separated <tensor regex>=<buffer type>; re-implements upstream's
     static parse_tensor_buffer_overrides since it isn't exported)

`spec_type` already accepted comma-separated lists after the previous
commit, matching upstream's `common_speculative_types_from_names`.

Docs: refresh `docs/content/advanced/model-configuration.md` with
per-family tables and a note about multi-type chaining.

Builds locally with `make docker-build-llama-cpp` (linux/amd64
cpu-llama-cpp AVX variant).

* fix(turboquant): bridge new llama.cpp spec API to the legacy fork layout

The previous commits in this series adapted backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp
to the post-#22838 (parallel drafting) llama.cpp API. The turboquant build
reuses the same grpc-server.cpp through backend/cpp/turboquant/Makefile,
which copies it into turboquant-<flavor>-build/ and runs patch-grpc-server.sh
on the copy. The fork branched before the API refactor, so it errors out on:

  * `ctx_server.impl->model_tgt` (fork still has `model`)
  * `params.speculative.{ngram_mod,ngram_map_k,ngram_map_k4v,ngram_cache}.*`
    (none of these sub-structs exist in the fork)
  * `params.speculative.draft.{cache_type_k/v, cpuparams[, _batch].n_threads,
    tensor_buft_overrides}` (fork uses the pre-#22397 flat layout)
  * `params.speculative.types` vector / `common_speculative_types_from_names`
    (fork has a scalar `type` and only the singular helper)

Approach:

1. backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp: introduce a single feature switch
   `LOCALAI_LEGACY_LLAMA_CPP_SPEC`. When defined, the two `speculative.type[s]`
   discriminations (the "default to draft when a draft model is set" branch
   and the `spec_type` / `speculative_type` option parser) fall back to the
   singular scalar form, and the entire new-option block (ngram_mod / map_k
   / map_k4v / ngram_cache / draft.{cache_type_*, cpuparams*,
   tensor_buft_overrides}) is preprocessed out. The macro is *not* defined
   in the source tree — stock llama-cpp builds get the full new API.

2. backend/cpp/turboquant/patch-grpc-server.sh: two new patch steps applied
   to the per-flavor build copy at turboquant-<flavor>-build/grpc-server.cpp:
   - substitute `ctx_server.impl->model_tgt` -> `ctx_server.impl->model`
   - inject `#define LOCALAI_LEGACY_LLAMA_CPP_SPEC 1` before the first
     `#include`, so the guarded blocks above drop out for the fork build.

   Both patches are idempotent and follow the existing sed/awk pattern in
   this script (KV cache types, `get_media_marker`, flat speculative
   renames). Stock llama-cpp's `grpc-server.cpp` is never touched.

Drop both legacy patches once the turboquant fork rebases past
ggml-org/llama.cpp#22397 / #22838.

* fix(turboquant): close draft_ctx_size brace inside legacy guard

The previous turboquant fix wrapped the new option-handler blocks in
`#ifndef LOCALAI_LEGACY_LLAMA_CPP_SPEC ... #endif` but placed the guard
in the middle of an `else if` chain — the `} else if` openings of the
new blocks were responsible for closing the previous block's brace.
With the macro defined the new blocks vanish, draft_ctx_size's `{`
loses its closer, the for-loop's `}` is consumed instead, and the
file ends with a stray opening brace — clang reports it as
`function-definition is not allowed here before '{'` on the next
top-level `int main(...)` and `expected '}' at end of input`.

Move the chain split inside the draft_ctx_size branch:

    } else if (... "draft_ctx_size") {
        // ...
#ifdef LOCALAI_LEGACY_LLAMA_CPP_SPEC
    }                                  // legacy: chain ends here
#else
    } else if (... "spec_ngram_mod_n_min") {  // modern: chain continues
        ...
    } else if (... "draft_override_tensor") {
        ...
    }                                  // closes last branch
#endif
    }                                  // closes for-loop

Brace count is now balanced under both preprocessor branches (verified
with `tr -cd '{' | wc -c` against the patched and unpatched outputs).

Local `make docker-build-turboquant` builds the linux/amd64 cpu-llama-cpp
`turboquant-avx` variant cleanly.

* fix(ci): forward AMDGPU_TARGETS into Dockerfile.turboquant builder-prebuilt

Dockerfile.turboquant's `builder-prebuilt` stage was missing the
`ARG AMDGPU_TARGETS` / `ENV AMDGPU_TARGETS=${AMDGPU_TARGETS}` pair that
`builder-fromsource` already has (and that `Dockerfile.llama-cpp`
mirrors across both stages). When CI uses the prebuilt base image
(quay.io/go-skynet/ci-cache:base-grpc-*, the common path) the build-arg
passed by the workflow never reaches the env inside the compile stage.

backend/cpp/llama-cpp/Makefile:38 (introduced by #9626) errors out on
hipblas builds when AMDGPU_TARGETS is empty, and the turboquant
Makefile reuses backend/cpp/llama-cpp via a sibling build dir, so the
same check fires from turboquant-fallback under BUILD_TYPE=hipblas:

  Makefile:38: *** AMDGPU_TARGETS is empty — set it to a comma-separated
  list of gfx targets e.g. gfx1100,gfx1101.  Stop.
  make: *** [Makefile:66: turboquant-fallback] Error 2

The bug is latent on master because the docker layer cache stays warm
across builds — the compile step rarely re-runs from scratch. The
llama.cpp bump in this PR invalidates the cache, so the missing env var
becomes load-bearing and the hipblas turboquant CI job fails.

Mirror the existing pattern from Dockerfile.llama-cpp.

If you want to do SCSS edits and want to publish these, you need to install PostCSS

npm install

Running the website locally

Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo. You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our Getting started guide.

Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:

hugo server

Running a container locally

You can run docsy-example inside a Docker container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other than Docker Desktop on Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose on Linux.

  1. Build the docker image

    docker-compose build
    
  2. Run the built image

    docker-compose up
    

    NOTE: You can run both commands at once with docker-compose up --build.

  3. Verify that the service is working.

    Open your web browser and type http://localhost:1313 in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.

Cleanup

To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.

To remove the produced images run:

docker-compose rm

For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.

Troubleshooting

As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:

➜ hugo server

INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file: 
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
