Richard Palethorpe 2facfc0d88 feat: Add kimodo.cpp and 3D animation API/UI (#12095) 
* fix(vulkan): preserve host ICD discovery for packaged backends

Add bundled Mesa manifests through VK_ADD_DRIVER_FILES instead of replacing the system driver list. Merge inherited and model-specific additive paths while preserving explicit operator overrides, with regression coverage.

* feat(3d): add Kimodo CPU and Vulkan animation backend

Introduce a distinct animation capability and model-described 3D operations, with a typed /3d/animate API, RPC transport, distributed media staging, permissions, and tracing.

Add a persistent kimodo.cpp adapter, skeleton GLB export, CPU/Vulkan packages, model and backend galleries, importer support, CI builds, and documentation. Adapt Studio inputs to each model and provide real-time skeleton playback, seeking, and history.

Cover backend validation, packaging, API behavior, importer inventories, distributed staging, and Studio workflows. Validate real-model CPU/Vulkan generation and deploy the integration to the local QA instance.

* feat(kimodocpp): adopt monolithic encoders and resident inference

Update upstream for resident weights, packed execution paths, and cached motion graphs. Default to all 32 text layers while retaining configurable streaming and legacy bundle support.

Use monolithic Q8_0 encoders by default and offer all six published quantizations through the gallery and importer. Refresh pinned hashes, tests, and documentation; remove the obsolete thread patch and ensure cached source checkouts follow the upstream pin.

Validated CPU and Vulkan generation, lower-bit streaming, gallery/importer suites, packaging, lint, and cold/warm Studio generation on localai-dev.

**LocalAI** is the open-source AI engine. Run any model - LLMs, vision, voice, image, video - on any hardware. No GPU required.
**A small core, not a bundle.** Each backend wraps a best-in-class engine (llama.cpp, vLLM, whisper.cpp, stable-diffusion, MLX...) in its own image, pulled only when a model needs it. You install nothing you don't use.
- **Composable by design**: backends are separate and pulled on demand, so you install only what your model needs
- **Open and extensible**: load any model, or build your own backend in any language against an open interface
- **Drop-in API compatibility**: OpenAI, Anthropic, and ElevenLabs APIs across every backend
- **Any model, any modality**: LLMs, vision, voice, image, and video behind one API
- **Any hardware**: NVIDIA, AMD, Intel, Apple Silicon, Vulkan, or CPU-only
- **Multi-user ready**: API key auth, user quotas, role-based access
- **Built-in AI agents**: autonomous agents with tool use, RAG, MCP, and skills
- **Privacy-first**: your data never leaves your infrastructure

To work with a running LocalAI server from the terminal, start the built-in agent from another shell. It answers questions, reads your files and runs commands on your machine, asking you to approve anything that changes state. Inside a session, `/models` lists installed models and `/model <name>` switches between them. See the [Terminal agent](https://localai.io/docs/features/terminal-agent/) docs.
```bash
# Terminal 1
local-ai run llama-3.2-1b-instruct:q4_k_m
# Terminal 2
local-ai chat --model llama-3.2-1b-instruct:q4_k_m
```
> **Automatic Backend Detection**: LocalAI automatically detects your GPU capabilities and downloads the appropriate backend. For advanced options, see [GPU Acceleration](https://localai.io/features/gpu-acceleration/).
For more details, see the [Getting Started guide](https://localai.io/basics/getting_started/).
## Latest News

| [local-store](https://github.com/mudler/LocalAI) | Local-first vector database for embeddings (shipped in-tree) |
We also maintain [apex-quant](https://github.com/localai-org/apex-quant), a per-tensor, per-layer quantization recipe for Mixture-of-Experts models that exploits their structural sparsity to produce GGUFs matching or beating Q8_0 quality - and they run out of the box on stock llama.cpp.
