* musa: use 16-byte copies for MUSA like sm_70+
ggml_cuda_get_max_cpy_bytes() derives the copy width from __CUDA_ARCH__. mcc
never defines it, so MUSA fell into the generic branch and returned 8 bytes
instead of the 16 bytes that every sm_70+ target gets. The value sizes the
per-thread copy unit of the FlashAttention K/V staging code (fattn-common,
fattn-vec, fattn-tile, fattn-mma-f16 shared-memory loads) and of mmq-vec-dot,
so every MUSA FlashAttention kernel moved half as many bytes per instruction.
On an MTT S5000 (mp_31, MUSA SDK 5.2.0) with Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q4_K_M, -ngl 999,
-p 512 -n 64, -fa on: 751.15 -> 794.73 t/s prefill and 15.59 -> 15.69 t/s
decode. -fa off is unchanged (1050.05 -> 1052.86 t/s prefill), FLASH_ATTN_EXT
is unchanged (3984 ok / 0 fail / 1323 unsupported) and perplexity is
unchanged.
* musa: enable the CUB paths on MUSA
GGML_CUDA_USE_CUB and USE_CUB are selected by "CUDART_VERSION >= 11070", which
the MUSA SDK never satisfies: CUDART_VERSION is not defined anywhere under
/usr/local/musa/include, so the condition is always false and every CUB-based
path stayed compiled out on MUSA even though the SDK ships CUB and the kernels
build for mp_31. Select them from GGML_USE_MUSA as well. The device-wide
algorithms are usable too: cub::DeviceSegmentedSort compiles and produces
correct results on mp_31.
This lifts the ne[0] <= 1024 limit that ggml_backend_cuda_device_supports_op
applied to ARGSORT and TOP_K on MUSA. On an MTT S5000 (S5000, mcc 5.2.0):
ARGSORT 48 ok / 52 not supported -> 100 ok / 0 (CUDA parity), TOP_K 0 ok /
354 not supported -> 527 ok / 0. The other 20 per-op suites are unchanged, the
Qwen3-0.6B f16 (14.4679) and Qwen3.8-27B iq4_nl (5.1724) perplexities are
unchanged, and the 0.6B graph keeps the same nodes and splits (18 CPU + 18
MUSA0, SET_ROWS 1008) as before.
* musa: take the upstream code path where the toolkit supports it
Several guards were written for an older MUSA toolkit. Verified against MUSA SDK
5.2.0 and on an MTT S5000 (mp_31):
- device init: query cudaDevAttrCooperativeLaunch instead of hardcoding false.
The device reports cooperativeLaunch=1 and musaLaunchCooperativeKernel works
(verified with a kernel whose result was checked).
- device init: keep prop.warpSize instead of overriding it with 32. The device
reports 32 anyway, so this only removes the divergence.
- CUDA_SET_SHARED_MEMORY_LIMIT and the FA shared-memory raise: musaFuncSetAttribute
returns success and sharedMemPerBlockOptin is 192 KiB, so the kernels can use
more than the default 48 KiB.
- vendors/musa.h: add the cudaDeviceGetAttribute and cudaDevAttrCooperativeLaunch
mappings the device-init change needs.
Measured on one S5000 with Qwen3.8-27B Q4_K_M (-ngl 999, -r 3): pp512 968.27 ->
957.09 t/s, tg64 10.09 -> 10.23 t/s, FLASH_ATTN_EXT sweep identical (3975/3982
both), perplexity identical (80.2841 +/- 7.26772 both).
* musa: drop compile-time guards that MUSA's runtime gates already cover
mcc never defines __CUDA_ARCH__, so the arch-gated fallbacks in this group
were already taken on MUSA and the GGML_USE_MUSA guards on top of them only
kept the upstream text from being compiled:
- wkv.cu: the "#pragma unroll" suppression has no effect on the generated
code that is not already covered by the surrounding guards
- common.cuh: the MUSA-only __builtin_unreachable() in no_device_code() is
not needed to silence the compiler
- ssm-scan.cu: the SSD (Mamba-2 prefill) block and its dispatch are gated at
runtime by GGML_CUDA_CC_IS_NVIDIA(cc) and turing_mma_available(cc), which
are both false for PH1 (cc 0x100310), so compiling them changes nothing
- common.cuh: warp_reduce_max(half2) is guarded the same way as
warp_reduce_sum(half2) (FP16_AVAILABLE); the MUSA-only guard left the
function with no return statement. It has no caller today.
MTT S5000 (mp_31, MUSA SDK 5.2.0), MUSA_ARCHITECTURES=31: build rc=0. Against
an unmodified build of the same tree on the same card, FLASH_ATTN_EXT
(3984 ok / 0 fail / 1323 unsupported), SSM_SCAN (15/0), RWKV_WKV6 (6/0),
GATED_DELTA_NET (38/0) and MUL_MAT (1299/0/385 unsupported) are identical, and
perplexity with -fa on is bit-identical (5.1639 +/- 0.36673, 4 chunks).
* musa: do not use MMQ on PH1
test-backend-ops on an MTT S5000 (mp_31, MUSA SDK 5.2.0) fails 260 cases and every
one of them goes through the MMQ path:
- MUL_MAT with a batched src1 (any bs/nr != [1,1]): 109 cases across all
quantized types, e.g. 12 of 13 cases at n=16, while the plain [1,1] layout
passes
- every quantized MUL_MAT_ID: 147 cases, while the f16/f32 variants of the same
shapes pass
- MUL_MAT with more than ~512 tokens: 4 cases (n=509..4096); the small-n cases pass
The cuBLAS/dequant path is correct for all of them and the MMVQ path used for
small batches is unaffected, so quantized matmuls now take that path on PH1
instead of returning wrong values. 27B perplexity with default flags goes from
nan to finite, and the full suite reports 0 failures out of 22237 cases.
The MMQ defect itself (fastdiv, __umulhi, uint3 kernel parameters and
__CUDA_ARCH__-based MMA availability were all checked and are correct on this
part) is not addressed here.
* musa: keep the block barrier of the fused TOPK_MOE kernel reachable
topk_moe_cuda returns early for the rows past the end of the graph, but one block
covers TOPK_MOE_ROWS_PER_BLOCK (8) rows, so the last block is only partially filled
whenever n_rows is not a multiple of 8. On MUSA a warp that has already returned
blocks the block wide __syncthreads() below, which makes the kernel hang and the
launch time out. CUDA tolerates the exited warps, which is why the CUDA numbers
never showed it.
For MUSA, clamp the row index of those warps to the last row so that every warp of
the block reaches the barrier; they recompute the last row and write the same
values. The CUDA code path is unchanged.
On an MTT S5000 (mp_31) the fused TOPK_MOE cases change from a launch timeout with
no completed case to 418 ok / 0 not supported / 0 failed, i.e. the CUDA result, and
the other 101 per op suites are unchanged (0 failed, no count changes).
* musa: enable GATED_DELTA_NET
The op was turned off for every MUSA target because mcc could not build the kernel
at the time. The current toolkit builds it: with mp_31 and MUSA SDK 5.2.0 the file
compiles with zero errors and all 36 test-backend-ops GATED_DELTA_NET cases pass
against the CPU reference. 27B perplexity is unchanged.
While the op is refused, the scheduler has no choice but to run it on the CPU: 48
GATED_DELTA_NET nodes per forward pass. On an MTT S5000 (Qwen3.8-27B Q4_K_M, -ngl
999, one container, -r 3):
pp512 (FA off) 964.51 -> 2119.26 t/s
tg64 (FA off) 10.15 -> 15.50 t/s
* musa: name the stream capture query API for the graph aware kernels
argsort.cu and mean.cu call cudaStreamCaptureStatus, cudaStreamIsCapturing and
cudaStreamCaptureStatusNone inside their USE_CUDA_GRAPH blocks, but the MUSA
compatibility headers do not alias those names, so building with the experimental
GGML_MUSA_GRAPHS option fails with 7 errors in those two files. Map the three
names to their musa* counterparts, under the same guard that enables the graph
code, so the default build is untouched.
The option stays off by default: on an MTT S5000 the captured path measured
slower (pp512 693 vs 772 t/s, tg128 15.20 vs 15.39 t/s over two sessions) and the
borderline MUL_MAT cases are not reproducible between runs.
* musa: build the CI and docs for PH1 (MTT S5000)
The MUSA CI job and the documented default still targeted the first generation
(MTT S80, MUSA_ARCHITECTURES=21) while the current MUSA SDK targets PH1
(MTT S5000, 31). Move the job, ci/run.sh's default and the build docs to 31,
and run the job in the PH1 MUSA SDK devel image:
registry.mthreads.com/mcconline/inference/pytorch:2.9.1.post1-py3.10-musa5.2.0-mp31-devel-ubuntu22.04-amd64
That image needs two things the previous one did not: python3-venv for the
ccache-buckets step, which builds a virtual environment for the Hugging Face
CLI, and no time prefix on the build command, because container jobs run their
steps with sh and the image ships no time binary.

* Stateful Performance: Added pass::KVStateSeqAxis to change KV layout
* ggml-openvino: fix stateful decode past the sliding-window size
Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet
* ggml-openvino: refuse stateful decode that cannot resume from the KV state
The stateful path seeds its KV state from ggml's cache when the decode position
is ahead of what the state holds. That only works when ggml's cache is a plain
prefix, where cell i holds position i. A sliding-window layer keeps just the last
n_swa positions and drops the rest, so past the window cell i no longer holds
position i and the seeded state is wrong.
Slicing the state to the decode position also had no bounds check, so a position
past the end surfaced as a bare ov::Exception from the ROI constructor
(llama_decode ret = -3, with no reason given at default verbosity).
Refuse both cases with a clear message instead, and refuse on the compile path
too, where a new model starts with an empty state and so can only serve a
sequence from its beginning. Reproducible with llama-bench -d, which restores a
saved sequence state rather than recomputing the depth prefill.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5
* ggml-openvino: use the per-layer KV head count for the stateful KV state
The stateful path reinterprets ggml's KV buffer [1, 1, seq, n_heads_kv * head_size]
as [1, seq, n_heads_kv, head_size]. The head size is already taken from the
tensor's own combined dim, because gemma-4 varies it per layer type, but the head
count still came from a model-level scalar that compute_llm_params() overwrites
per attention node, so it ended up holding whatever the last layer said.
gemma-4 varies the head count per layer too: 12B has 8 x 256 sliding layers and
1 x 512 full layers, 31B has 16 x 256 and 4 x 512. So 40 of 12B's 48 layers were
split as 1 x 2048 instead of 8 x 256, and attention read the state with the wrong
head split - both models decoded garbage on CPU and GPU. E2B is unaffected, its
head count is 1 everywhere.
Record the count per layer instead and look it up by the cache_k_l<N> leaf name.
Key it by layer, not by layer type: the sliding/full classification comes from
cache extents, which tie at a small -c, while the head count does not.
The stateful state trim now derives its sequence axis per state for the same
reason, since pass::KVStateSeqAxis matches per state on the head count.
Assisted-by: Claude Opus 5
* ggml-openvino: apply the KV state relayout to any KV head count
pass::KVStateSeqAxis was limited to states with a single KV head, where moving
the sequence axis from dim 1 to dim 2 is a pure metadata change. The limit was
also based on a measurement showing no gain for a multi-head model, but that was
taken at depth 0, which is the one depth where this change does nothing.
With several heads the pass does more than move metadata: it drops the reader
side transpose of the whole accumulated state, which the graph otherwise redoes
every token at a cost that grows with the context length, and replaces it with a
transpose of the single new row. Measured on GPU, tg128, alternating arms:
gemma-4-12B 6.27 -> 9.11 t/s at depth 8192 (stateless is 7.69, so stateful now
wins at depth instead of losing), Llama-3.2-1B 47.8 -> 59.6 t/s. Both are within
noise at depth 0, which is why the earlier check saw nothing.
The state refill needs the rows copied rather than reinterpreted now: ggml stores
[seq][n_heads_kv * head_size], and a relayout state with several heads is a
different element order. Without that, a refill would seed wrong data - it is
reachable today through llama-bench -d.

* Enable special strided CPY for conv state writeback
* openvino: support cacheless encoder models on NPU
Packed QKV views used by mmBERT were rejected by the ROPE support check. This split Q/K RoPE onto CPU, prevented cacheless attention detection, and sent fragmented encoder graphs through the decoder-oriented NPUW path.
Accept packed QKV RoPE views, detect cacheless attention from its mask, and run these models as a single full-sequence prefill without NPUW or a decode graph. Also provide static mask, output index, and mean-pooling shapes and inputs.
* openvino: optimize norm and RoPE translation
Replace the decomposed mean/variance normalization graph with an opset6 MVN operation. This preserves the GGML epsilon placement while allowing OpenVINO plugins to compile normalization as one operation with fewer intermediate tensors.
Cache RoPE sine and cosine outputs in the graph-wide tensor map. Build the cache key from all RoPE parameters and the optional frequency-factor input so compatible Q/K and layer nodes share one subgraph without mixing different RoPE configurations.
Expose NodeContext::put_shared() to publish translator-created outputs for graph-level reuse.

* fix mulmat bug
* use ov::as_type_ptr instead of std::dynamic_pointer_cast
* ggml-openvino: fix mixed-dtype ADD/SWIGLU_CLAMP, gate unsupported ROPE/SOFTPLUS cases
- translate_add: upcast mismatched operand types (e.g. f16/f32 in fused
ADD_ADD) to f32, add, then cast once to the output type. opset1::Add
requires matching input types and downcasting first lost precision.
- translate_glu_swiglu_clamp: same fix, f16 Swish/Clamp rounding was
drifting past the test tolerance.
- supports_op: reject ROPE with ne[3] > 1 (multi-sequence) since the
cos/sin tables only cover one sequence, and SOFTPLUS on GPU since the
OpenVINO GPU kernel overflows to inf for large inputs (CPU is fine).
- ci/run.sh: serialize test-backend-ops on OpenVINO GPU; running two
workers concurrently crashes the GPU plugin (CL_OUT_OF_RESOURCES).
* openvino: share compiled models with per-context inference state; fix thread-safety
* ggml-openvino: gate MoE expert-sum ReduceSum shortcut past 8 experts
The ReduceSum shortcut for the MoE expert-plane-sum ADD chain drifts past
the 1e-7 test tolerance for >8 experts (f32 accumulation order vs CPU
reference), intermittently, like the existing Q4_K/Q5_K NMSE case.
Expose is_moe_expert_sum_add() so supports_op can gate on expert count
and fall back to CPU for just that reduction op.
* ggml-openvino: gate degenerate m=1,n=1 MUL_MAT on GPU
CI hit ERR=1.8e-3 (> 5e-4 tolerance) for a scalar-output f32 dot product
(m=1,n=1,k=2048); didn't reproduce locally in 8 tries, so likely an
internal fp16 accumulation path the GPU plugin picks for this tiny
shape. m=1 output dim doesn't occur in real model weights, so gate it.

define two new environment variables to better understand how much
memory is being allocated, and when. This has been invaluable in
inproving the --fit algorithm, and is likely to be useful when debugging
other memory-related issues.
`-lv 4` will be required to enable the following:
GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE=1 will show per-site memory usage, updated whenever
it increases by more than 64MiB.
GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE=2 will show every allocation and deallocation.
To change the default 64MiB threshold for reporting memory usage increases, use
GGML_SYCL_MEMTRACE_STEP.

Static shapes:
- get_graph_input_shape() left the s_copy / s_copy-leaf inputs dynamic
([1,1,1,-1]) even in static mode, which propagated a dynamic slot dim through
GET_ROWS into the conv/GDN state, the state reshapes and the GDN output.
- With -np 1 the s_copy defrag remainder gathers zero rows; short-circuit that
CPY to the untouched cache instead of emitting a degenerate Slice/Concat, and
skip binding its zero-byte ggml tensor as an output (the dynamic path already
did the latter, the static path wrote the full cache over a 0-byte buffer).
Token-count independence:
- In static mode the compiled model's token count is the prefill chunk size or
1, not the captured cgraph's. Offsets derived from the captured count were
therefore wrong. Anchor the GDN state slice at the end of the packed
[attn | state] output and drop the rs_src_begin runtime inputs, and make
VIEWs over the GDN output / conv_input pass through so the consumer does the
slicing.
- CONT could not identify its token axis when the graph was captured with a
single token (every trailing dim has the same stride and size 1) and baked
the captured shape into the prefill model.
Chunked prefill:
- The last chunk is padded with fabricated tokens. Attention masks them, but
the recurrent path folded them into cache_r/cache_s permanently. Add a
chunk_valid_len runtime input, use it to zero g and beta for padded steps
(making the recurrence an exact identity) and to end the conv snapshot window
at the last valid token, and disable the recurrent-cache reset after the
first chunk so earlier chunks are not wiped.
- get_is_prefill() and the chunk loop bound read inp_pos->ne[0] directly, but
IMROPE stacks 4 position planes, so every decode step was run through the
padded prefill model and the loop ran extra out-of-bounds chunks.
cache_rs_reset_idx/len now stay runtime Parameters in static mode, since
can_reuse_statically() does not invalidate the cached model on ComputeParams
changes. Add GGML_OPENVINO_FORCE_STATIC to exercise the static path on CPU.

* dspark: support speculators-format checkpoints (SpecForge exports)
Speculators-format DSpark drafts (e.g. SpecForge exports for the
Gemma-4-26B-A4B target) differ from the dense DeepSpec checkpoints in
three ways:
- the config nests the backbone hparams under transformer_layer_config
and gives the extract layers as aux_hidden_state_layer_ids
- the block is the DFlash 1+N fill-in layout: the anchor slot is a bonus
token, not a prediction slot. Written as dflash.bonus_anchor; such
drafts build the block and read the mask positions exactly like
DFlash (n_max drafts from a 1+n_max block), only the Markov/confidence
sampling comes from DSpark
- the draft output vocab may be reduced (draft_vocab_size < vocab_size)
with a d2t remap table. The converter expands lm_head/markov_w2 back
to the full vocab and synthesizes an lm_head bias of -1e9 on the rows
the draft cannot produce, so the runtime needs no d2t remapping. Such
drafts ship their own (now optional) token_embd/output tensors instead
of sharing the target's
Verified against gemma4-26b-a4b-dspark: greedy outputs are byte-identical
with and without the draft; acceptance 0.46, mean draft len 3.7 (n_max 6).

* dspark: fold the speculators draft class into DSparkModel
One class now covers every DSpark variant. What used to pick the class is
a single flag, because the arch name turns out to be the only thing that
separates the two families: SpecForge also exports a flat schema that
carries no speculators_* fields yet still uses the 1+N bonus-anchor block,
so keying on those fields would silently mis-read its drafts.
Also rename i0 to i_first_pred in the draft read loop and the Markov head,
and give the head a real bonus_anchor bool instead of testing i0 > 0.
Converting the Qwen3-8B DeepSpec draft and both gemma-4 speculators drafts
produces byte-identical GGUFs. The one behaviour change is that the
markov_head_type check now also covers the DeepSpec checkpoints, which
previously skipped it.

* dspark: address review comments
- rename bonus_anchor to sample_from_anchor (GGUF key and code), matching
the checkpoint config field; absent key still means anchor-first
- rework the reduced draft vocab to match EAGLE3: d2t is written as I64
absolute target ids and the logits are scattered at runtime, instead of
expanding lm_head/markov_w2 and synthesizing an output bias at conversion
- move the t2d skip to modify_tensors, like EAGLE3
- drop _is_specforge: the arch name only picks the sample_from_anchor
default, embed/lm_head sharing is decided by the draft vocab size
- deduplicate the tok_embd create_tensor left behind by the rebase
Verified with the RedHat gemma-4-31b speculator draft: greedy output is
byte-identical with and without the draft; acceptance 0.26 (n_max 7).

* ggml-openvino: add GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS to reclaim host weight RSS on GPU
The OpenVINO weight Constants are zero-copy views into host buffers
allocated by the backend (ggml_aligned_malloc, anonymous memory). On GPU
the plugin holds its own device copy after compile_model, so these host
pages are dead weight for inference. For a 1B Q4_K_M model this leaves
~850 MB of host RSS resident that the GPU path never reads again.
Add an opt-in GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS mode that madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)s
the registered host weight buffers once the model is compiled, dropping
their resident pages while keeping the mappings valid (ggml still owns the
lifetime; tensors still point in). Measured steady-state RSS drops from
~1555 MB to ~710 MB on Llama-3.2-1B-Q4_K_M (Arc iGPU) with unchanged
throughput and correct output.
The GPU backend uses a single dynamic-shape model for both prefill and
decode, so a graph is compiled once and reused; the only event that forces
a recompile is clear_caches() on backend teardown. The change therefore:
- releases on the first cache-hit (model compiled, plugin has its copy);
- pins the compiled-model cache across backend teardown so a later
context reuses it instead of recompiling against the dropped pages;
- fails loud (GGML_ABORT) on a cache-miss recompile or on a second model
load, both of which would otherwise read zeroed weights or silently
reuse the wrong compiled graph.
Scope/limitations (all fail loud, never silently wrong): GPU only (the CPU
plugin reads the host Constants at inference time), one model per process,
and stable graph shapes. This reduces steady-state RSS, not the transient
compile-time peak. All changes are confined to the OpenVINO backend.
* ggml-openvino: stream weight requantization to cut the compile-time RSS peak
requantize_to_buffers() dequantized the entire tensor to a temporary
std::vector<float> of n_elements before requantizing. For token_embd.weight
(128256 x 2048) that transient is ~1 GB (1B model) / ~2 GB (8B), and it is
the single largest contributor to the OpenVINO compile-time memory peak --
it also fires twice for token_embd (once at load, once at graph build,
because token_embd is loaded via a CPU/mmap buffer and not cached as an OV
weight extra).
Stream the dequant instead: process a fixed window of complete rows
(CHUNK_ROWS=256) into a small scratch buffer and quantize/convert each chunk
straight into the output buffers. The transient F32 footprint is now
CHUNK_ROWS*ne0 floats regardless of tensor size.
quantize_q8_0/q8_1 gain an optional block_offset arg (default 0) so a chunk
writes its weights/scales/zp at the correct block. Streaming is applied to
the Q8_0_C / Q8_1_C / F16 targets (the large requant cases); the u4 (Q4_0)
path keeps the whole-array call because it packs two weights per byte with
running zp ORs, and a fallback handles any future target whose block size
does not divide a row.
Measured peak RSS (cold compile, GPU): 1B 2868 -> 1809 MB (-1.06 GB);
8B 11618 -> 9608 MB (-2.0 GB). Output verified unchanged
("capital of France is Paris"); throughput unchanged. Unlike
GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS this reduces the transient peak, not just
steady-state, and needs no env flag. All changes confined to the OpenVINO
backend.
* ggml-openvino: avoid redundant token_embd requantization at compile
token_embd.weight is referenced twice in the graph path: as the GET_ROWS
embedding (a CPU/mmap-buffer tensor) it was re-extracted/re-requantized on
every weight-node build, and is_model_splitted() built a full (naive) set of
weight nodes just to test name membership — each requant is a ~1-2 GB F32
dequant of the 262M-element embedding.
Two changes:
- Add collect_weight_names(): a name-only collector for topology checks.
is_model_splitted() now uses it instead of create_weight_nodes(cgraph,
true), so the splitted-check no longer triggers any weight extraction.
- Memoize weight nodes built from non-OpenVINO buffers in a process-lifetime
cache keyed by tensor->data. These tensors have no OV buffer context to own
a cached extra, so without this they were rebuilt on every (re)compile;
prefill and decode graphs now share one build (verified: 2nd graph hits the
cache instead of re-requantizing).
Peak RSS is unchanged (the streaming-requant commit already removed the F32
transient); this removes redundant compile-time work. Output verified
unchanged ("capital of France is Paris"). Confined to the OpenVINO backend.
* ggml-openvino: gate compile-memory optimizations behind GGML_OPENVINO_REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM
The streaming requantization and the non-OpenVINO-buffer weight-node cache
(plus the name-only is_model_splitted path that pairs with it) are now opt-in
via GGML_OPENVINO_REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM. When unset, requantize_to_buffers()
fully materializes the F32 buffer and weights are rebuilt per compile exactly
as before; when set, the streaming path and the cross-compile weight cache
are used.
Default off keeps behavior identical to upstream unless explicitly enabled.
Verified: flag off -> peak RSS 2800 MB (original), flag on -> 1810 MB; output
"capital of France is Paris" in both modes. (GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS,
added earlier, remains a separate opt-in for the steady-state release.)
* ggml-openvino: add frontend model cache (GGML_OPENVINO_MODEL_CACHE_DIR)
The plugin-level ov::cache_dir caches the compiled blob keyed by the OV
model, but producing that model still runs the full frontend every time:
weight requantization (incl. the large token_embd F32 transient) and the
ggml->OV graph conversion. This adds an opt-in frontend cache keyed off a
fingerprint computed directly from the ggml cgraph, so a hit imports a
previously exported CompiledModel and skips requant + convert + compile
entirely.
Key (model-cache.{h,cpp}) = 64-bit FNV-1a of: graph topology (n_nodes + per
node op/name), a sampled per-weight fingerprint (name/shape/type + bounded
head+tail byte sample), and blob-affecting config (device, flash-attn, rope
params, REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM/stateful flags, OpenVINO version). A sidecar
manifest stores every weight's fingerprint and is re-verified on load, so a
sampled-hash collision cannot cause a wrong-model hit (verified: two
different quantizations of the same model produce distinct cache entries).
Flow (dynamic single-model path only; split models defer to ov::cache_dir):
on a verified hit, core.import_model() restores the CompiledModel and a
lightweight decoder is built with a names-only weight map (membership is all
the decoder needs for I/O mapping; weights live in the imported model). On a
miss, compile as usual then export the blob (atomic temp+rename, manifest
written first). The frontend cache supersedes ov::cache_dir, so CACHE_DIR/
CACHE_MODE are stripped from the config used for the cached compile and the
import — a blob compiled with cache_dir set cannot be re-imported.
Measured 8B Q4_K_M (GPU): full requant+convert+compile 15.3s -> import 6.3s
(~2.4x faster compile phase). Output verified unchanged on cold and warm,
standalone and combined with REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM + RELEASE_WEIGHTS. Default
off; confined to the OpenVINO backend.
* ggml-openvino: harden frontend model cache correctness
The frontend model cache imports a previously exported CompiledModel keyed by a fingerprint of the ggml graph, weights, and blob-affecting config. The original key covered device, stateful execution, REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM, RoPE params, OpenVINO version, topology, and sampled weights, but missed runtime/frontend toggles that can change the lowered graph or the I/O binding contract. That made it possible to reuse a blob produced under a different OpenVINO backend configuration.
Add a small extra-config helper for the dynamic model-cache path and fold in the effective values of GGML_OPENVINO_DISABLE_KV_SLICE and GGML_OPENVINO_MANUAL_GQA_ATTN. MANUAL_GQA_ATTN is keyed by the behavior that actually takes effect: an explicit env value wins, otherwise GPU defaults to enabled and other devices default to disabled. This matches flash_attn_ext lowering and avoids unnecessary cache splits for equivalent configurations while separating genuinely different attention graphs.
DISABLE_KV_SLICE is also included because it changes the KV-cache tensor shape/output binding strategy used around imported models. Even when weights and graph topology are identical, switching this flag should not inherit a CompiledModel cache entry created for a different binding mode.
Also make cache artifact publication cleaner: write manifest.tmp and blob.tmp, publish the blob first, and publish the manifest last. Cache hits already require both blob and a verified manifest, so making the manifest the final visible artifact avoids leaving an apparently complete manifest for a failed or interrupted blob export. Temporary files are removed on the handled failure paths.
While touching this path, fix the indentation of the non-imported compile branch so the cache miss flow is easier to review. Behavior is otherwise unchanged: verified hits still import, misses still create weights, convert, compile, export, and create the infer request normally.
* ggml-openvino: add memory optimization umbrella switch
Add GGML_OPENVINO_MEMORY_OPTIMIZE as a single opt-in switch for the OpenVINO backend memory-saving paths. The existing fine-grained GGML_OPENVINO_REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM and GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS variables remain supported and explicitly override the umbrella switch when set, so users can still bisect or disable one side of the optimization independently.
Centralize the policy in ggml_openvino_reduce_compile_mem_enabled() and ggml_openvino_release_weights_enabled(device). The umbrella switch enables compile-memory reductions everywhere REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM is used today: streaming requantization, non-OV weight-node caching, split-model weight-name collection, and the frontend model-cache fingerprint. On GPU it also enables host weight-buffer release unless GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS is explicitly set.
Keep host weight release GPU-only because it relies on the plugin holding its own device copy after compile_model. Update the fail-fast diagnostic and comments to mention GGML_OPENVINO_MEMORY_OPTIMIZE, so users who enable the umbrella switch get accurate guidance if a later cache-miss recompile would read released host weight pages.
* ggml-openvino: rename compiled model cache env
Rename the frontend export/import cache environment variable from GGML_OPENVINO_MODEL_CACHE_DIR to GGML_OPENVINO_COMPILED_MODEL_CACHE_DIR. The cache stores blobs produced by ov::CompiledModel::export_model() and restores them with core.import_model(), so the new name distinguishes it from GGML_OPENVINO_CACHE_DIR, which configures OpenVINO plugin-level ov::cache_dir.
Update the registered env var, the cache-directory lookup, and comments around the frontend compiled-model cache. The old GGML_OPENVINO_MODEL_CACHE_DIR name is removed rather than kept as a fallback so there is a single spelling for the new option.
* docs: document OpenVINO memory optimization env vars
Add runtime configuration entries for the newly recognized OpenVINO environment variables.
Document GGML_OPENVINO_COMPILED_MODEL_CACHE_DIR as the frontend compiled-model cache used to export and import compiled blobs for matching single-graph models.
Document GGML_OPENVINO_MEMORY_OPTIMIZE as the umbrella switch, including how GGML_OPENVINO_REDUCE_COMPILE_MEM and the GPU-only GGML_OPENVINO_RELEASE_WEIGHTS override or inherit from it.
* ggml-openvino: fix Qwen3VL crash and deepstack correctness bug
1. GGML_OP_PAD was missing from compute_node_dynamic_dims(), causing a crash
on decode for models that pad the token embedding (n_embd -> n_embd_inp).
PAD never reorders/merges dims, so it keeps the same dynamic dim index as
its source.
2. process_view_input_new() chained VIEW inputs through src[0] (the
immediate op-graph parent) using offsets treated as relative to that
parent. But ggml_tensor::view_offs is always absolute from the true root
allocation (ggml collapses VIEW-of-VIEW chains internally). For the
per-layer deepstack view ("embd (view)", whose src[0] is "embd" - itself
an already-narrowed, zero-offset VIEW of the padded root, with the SAME
ggml shape as the deepstack view but a different absolute offset), this
caused an out-of-bounds re-slice that silently fell back to returning the
wrong (already-resolved sibling) tensor. In practice every deepstack ADD
ended up adding the real base token embedding into the residual stream
instead of zero, corrupting generation ("Hello my name is 1000000..."
instead of coherent text). Fixed by detecting this pattern (same shape as
the immediate src, different absolute offset) and re-slicing directly
from the untouched root tensor using the innermost view's absolute
offset.
Also adds a GGML_OPENVINO_DEBUG_NODE=<name1>,<name2>,... env var that attaches
extra debug Result nodes for arbitrary intermediate tensors, without binding
them to any ggml buffer (avoiding the risk of reading a ggml buffer that has
since been overwritten by a later in-place op). This was instrumental in
diagnosing bug #2 above and is left in as a general-purpose debugging aid.
* ggml-openvino: fix IMROPE inp_pos padding for NPU static shapes
IMROPE's inp_pos tensor packs 4 stacked t/h/w/e position planes into
ne[0] = 4*n_tokens instead of one value per token. On NPU's static-shape
path, inp_pos was padded/shaped as if it held a single plane, which
interleaved padding across the 4 planes and desynced later reshapes
from the rest of the (chunk_size-wide) graph.
- add GgmlOvDecoder::get_inp_pos_n_planes() to detect IMROPE's 4-plane layout
- get_graph_input_shape(): size inp_pos as n_planes * chunk_size (prefill)
or n_planes (decode) instead of assuming 1 value per token
- get_ov_input_tensor_static_prefill(): pad each plane to chunk_size
independently instead of one flat block
- get_ov_input_tensor_static_decode(): copy n_planes contiguous values
instead of asserting/copying a single scalar

This commit removes the nightly/release information that I added
previously to keep this focused only on using building and installing
llama.cpp with cmake and being able to quickly verify changes or
troubleshoot issues.
* ci : merge scripts into single script
* remove -dev-build_number support
This commit removes the incremental build number (versioning) support
that I added. This was incorrect and we should only use the semver for
the version. Releases will be tag a nightly build and package
maintainers/managers that build from source can use the tag and it is
therefor important that the correct version is reported. So a
nightly-build will report the semver without the build number. The build
number and commit as availble via cmake and test-cmake has been updated
to include an example of using them:
```console
$ ./build.sh
[test-cmake] version: 0.1.0, build: 10360 (08c69e381)
...
