Mikolaj Kucharski e0dff58475 args: add env vars for temperature, top-p, min-p and penalties (#27380)
Allow configuring --temp, --top-p, --min-p, --repeat-penalty,
--presence-penalty and --frequency-penalty via LLAMA_ARG_* so
llama-server can be fully controlled from an EnvironmentFile
(e.g. systemd on Debian).

Use `llama-gen-docs` to regenerate the readme files.

Silverside 26394b4e67 json: Fixed json enum handling (#28518)
* Fixed json enum handling

Added common_json_value handling for enum values.
Added tests/test-json.cpp to cover testing of some aspects of common_json.

* Removed tests as requested.

* Applied recommended style and simplification

Simplified by delegating enum constructor to the constructor of the underlying type
Matched style of surrounding templating code

59657a613a chat : add dedicated Ling 3.0 (Bailing V3) parser (#28682)
* chat: add dedicated Ling 3.0 (Bailing V3) parser

Ling 3.0 Flash templates pre-open the think block in the generation
prompt, so the model never emits an opening <think>, and a tool call can
arrive before any </think>. The generated autoparser terminated reasoning
only at the close tag, which classified such tool calls entirely as
reasoning_content: clients received content="" with no tool_calls and
agent loops died as reasoning-only turns.

Adds a specialized parser that terminates reasoning at the think close
tag or at a <tool_call> start, mirroring the hand-written Qwen3-Coder and
Kimi K3 parsers and the reference vLLM/SGLang Ling3 parser (which treats
<tool_call> as an implicit reasoning terminator). Detection is gated on
the <role>...</role> section markers, unique to this family among the
tagged-argument templates.

Adds the Ling 3.0 Flash chat template and tests covering the
unclosed-think tool call (full parse and streaming), healthy closed-think
paths, trailing prose, parallel calls, marker-like strings in argument
values, string-union and non-string argument types, and
reasoning_format=none.

Daniel Bevenius f3a184b153 cmake : remove precompiled headers (#28892)
This commit removes the precompiled headers that I added in Commit
3bcfeb700  ("cmake : add PCH and unity build to improve build times
(#28091)").

The motivation for this is that this looked good when developing this
but has caused multiple issues that I had taken into consideration and
we have decided to remove it and only keep the unity builds from the
above commit.

This commit moves the llama_n_rs_seq function call to before the
llama_decode call and returns directly if the check is true, removing
the setting of res and the goto statement.

The motivation for this change is to avoid the llama_decode call if it
is not needed.

| Full,    with PCH      | 405 |   380.0 s  |   664.7 s  | 1,044.7 s  |
| Full,    with PCH + UB | 264 |   357.7 s  |   635.7 s  |   993.4 s  |
+------------------------+-----+------------+------------+------------+

TU   = Translation Unit.
Full = includes Server, Tools, and Tests.
PCH  = precompiled headers.
UB   = unity build for models.

Piotr Wilkin (ilintar) 895c045fd1 chat : split specialized parsers into common/parsers (#27764)
* chat : split specialized parsers into common/parsers

Move the 14 dedicated template parsers out of chat.cpp into one file each under
common/parsers, mirroring the src/models split. chat.cpp keeps the template
detection in common_chat_try_specialized_template() and drops from 3915 to 1513
lines.

common/parsers/parsers.h holds the shared helpers and one declaration per
parser. foreach_function/foreach_parameter become inline there since nothing in
chat.cpp uses them any more; common_chat_template_direct_apply_impl and
common_chat_template_generation_prompt_impl lose static and carry their default
arguments in the header. Parser-specific helpers move with their parser:
is_lfm2_template, deepseek_v4_sort_tool_results and the gemma4 turn builder.

No functional change.

Adrien Gallouët c390d0abbc common : make build info output stream configurable (#28322)
Let llama_print_build_info write to a caller-provided FILE* instead of
hardcoding stderr. The parameter defaults to stderr so existing callers
keep their current behavior.

The version command in llama-app now passes stdout, so plain version

* common, server : enable preserve_reasoning kwarg by default, log its effective state

If the preserve_reasoning chat template kwarg is not specified explicitly
via --reasoning-preserve / --no-reasoning-preserve, it is enabled by
default after argument processing. The server logs the effective state of
the kwarg, warns that it is enabled by default when the template supports
it, and only warns "has no effect" when it was enabled explicitly on a
template that does not support it. Setting the kwarg via
--chat-template-kwargs is deprecated.

Bartosz Taudul ba8e0eddfb common : skip device_info loop if it's not going to be printed (#26692)
The device_info loop iterates over the discovered devices and gets
the available and total memory counts. With the CUDA backend (and
possibly others too) this requires creating a GPU context, which,
in case of CUDA, results in a 550 MB VRAM allocation.

For this information to be used in any way, the log verbosity must
be set to LOG_LEVEL_TRACE. If it's not, including in the default
configuration, the contexts get created, memory sizes get queried,
then the log function quietly discards the data.

In certain cases the user may not want to use any GPU resources.
The device_loop iteration is the only place touching the GPU that
cannot be skipped.

Fix by checking the verbosity level and skipping the loop if there
would be no output.

Xuan-Son NguyenandPascal 2fb989b9e7 fit: also take into account n_streams (#27496)
* fit: also take into account n_streams

* server: make the draft context follow the target context

With a non-unified KV cache the target context now holds n_ctx_train
tokens per sequence, while the draft context was still created with
n_ctx = 0 and fell back to n_ctx_train / n_streams per sequence. A slot
filled beyond that point makes the draft batch fail to decode, and the
server answers 500 on the request.

The draft context now takes its size from the target context, so both
hold the same number of tokens per sequence. Contexts that share their
cells with the target no longer need the kv_size override.

The memory reserved for the draft model before fitting is measured at
the largest context the target can take, since the draft context grows
with the target and a fixed byte margin cannot express that.

* fit: take an optional second model into account

Illustrates the alternative discussed on the draft context fix. The
memory of a draft or MTP context is currently handed to the fit as a
fixed byte margin, which cannot express a memory that grows with the
context the fit is still deciding on.

common_fit_params now takes an optional second model that shares the
devices of the main one. Its context follows the main context and its
memory is measured again whenever that context changes, so the reduce
path stays exact instead of conservative. A model that cannot be
measured on its own, such as a shared cell MTP context, is skipped with
a warning and the main model is fitted alone.

This drops the reservation block in the server, which no longer has to
probe the trained context size of the target to guess an upper bound.
