* vulkan: add IQ3_S MMQ matmul kernels
* Make block_a_to_shmem do 2-byte loads (110 bytes is divisible by 2)
* Align the check, IQ3_S is also using K tile size
* vulkan: raise the hoisted row-id limit for mul_mat_id to 512 experts
The expert-count shader (count_experts.comp) sizes its shared arrays
with BLOCK_SIZE, which is 256. Because of that, row-id hoisting is
switched off for any model with more than 256 experts, and every
mul_mat_id workgroup has to rescan the whole ids tensor on its own.
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next has 512 experts and was quietly running on that
slow path.
This change sizes the arrays with a separate MAX_EXPERTS constant (512),
clears them in a loop instead of one entry per thread, and raises the
matching limit on the host side.
On Strix Halo at batch 2048 the expert matmuls drop from 12.5 to 9.5 ms
(iq3_s) and from 14.0 to 7.5 ms (iq4_nl) per op, and prompt processing
gets about 19 % faster at 8k tokens. test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID passes
(891/891) with new 512-expert test cases.

* vulkan: raise the hoisted row-id limit for mul_mat_id to 1024 experts
Follow-up to review feedback: 1024 matches LLAMA_MAX_EXPERTS instead of
stopping at 512. The three shared arrays in count_experts.comp grow to
3 * 1024 * 4 = 12 KiB, which fits the 16 KiB that Vulkan guarantees for
maxComputeSharedMemorySize.
Adds mul_mat_id test cases at 1024 experts alongside the existing 512
ones. test-backend-ops MUL_MAT_ID passes on Vulkan (RADV, Strix Halo,
Radeon 8060S): 889/889.

* ci : add API/ABI check to make-release workflow [no ci]
This commit adds an API/ABI compatibility check to the make-release
workflow.
The motivation for this to allow us to detect any potential breaking
changes in API/ABI compatibility between releases and fail the the
release if there are any.
The workflow can be triggered manually as before and this check can be
skipped if needed as it does take some time which might be useful when
doing a dry-run and not specifically interested in the API/ABI check.
By default this will check the current release against the latest
release, but this can also be configured in the workflow, or in the
script run on the command line, to check a different tag.
* add check for minor version bumps [no ci]
This commit also changes the build type to be RelWithDebInfo so that the
reported information is more useful.
* gguf : align the data section relative to the GGUF start, not the file
gguf_init_from_file_ptr reads a GGUF from the current file position, but padded
the data section from file offset 0, so a GGUF embedded at an offset that is not
a multiple of the alignment loaded without error and returned wrong tensor data.
Also adds llama_adapter_lora_init_from_file_ptr, and disables mmap with a warning
when an embedded data section is not aligned, instead of asserting in ggml.

Both im2col.comp and im2col_3d.comp declare D_ptr without an explicit
buffer_reference_align, so glslang emits writes through it as Aligned
16. The shaders advance the pointer by D_SIZE, a per-variant define
set to 4 for float and 2 for float16_t, so most write addresses are
not 16-byte aligned. This triggers
VUID-RuntimeSpirv-PhysicalStorageBuffer64-06315 under GPU-AV.
Declaring buffer_reference_align = D_SIZE matches the alignment to the
actual write stride and takes validation hits from 20 to 0 for both
IM2COL and IM2COL_3D.
Fixes#28960
* model: calculate split states for attn_qkv from n_head * n_embd_head_k
required for gemma4 with --fuse-qkv, where n_embd is 5376 but Q is 8192.
* model: handle fused full attention layers for qwen35/qwen35moe
* model: add TODO: [TAG_SPLIT_QGATE_QWEN]
llama probes weight placement with a rope where all params are 0, so rejecting
n_dims == 0 or freq_base == 0 puts rope_freqs on the CPU. That splits the decode
graph at every full-attention layer (gemma-4-E2B: 5 splits instead of 2).

* model : add support for HrmTextForCausalLM (DFM Mimir 1B)
HRM-Text runs two transformer stacks (low, high) in an alternating cycle over the same token stream. The low-cycle state z_l starts from a learned [n_embd] tensor and is broadcast over positions.
- conversion: new writer for the fused gqkv projection (order gate,q,k,v) remapped to llama.cpp q/k/v plus a separate sigmoid gate tensor
- loader: block_count = lps * h_cycles * (l_cycles + 1) cache slots aliasing 2*lps physical blocks via struct copies
- graph: looped build with sigmoid-gated attention, SwiGLU FFN and parameterless RMS norms; learned embedding_scale applied in build_inp_embd
- saver: pointer-deduplicated layer loop (looped archs alias tensors)
- tests: hrm_text fixture (lps 1, h 2, l 3) in test-llama-archs
Limitations:
causal attention only - the upstream prefix-LM mode is not implemented (the prefix_lm GGUF key round-trips unused).
The KV cache holds one entry per pass: 128 layers for Mimir 1B, i.e. 4x a same-width 32-layer model - about 3072 MiB at ctx 4096 in F16 (halves with q8_0 KV + FA).
Every token runs all 128 block passes, so decode cost is roughly 4x a dense model of equal width (2.65 t/s BF16, 8-thread desktop CPU).
Verified against the HF reference: identical argmax at 334/334 positions across 20 prompts (BF16 GGUF vs FP32 golden).
q8_0 requant: 95.8% top-1, all remaining misses inside the HF top-5 (accumulated error over 128 sequential blocks).
AI usage disclosure: YES
Used GLM-5.3 for the majority of code AI-generated under my direction, all gates verified locally.
All in all I could say that I have written less than 20% of the code and most of the heavy lifting has been done by the model. As such, this should be considered experimental.

* model : replicate hrm_text tensors on meta devices instead of splitting
The aliased cache slots rotate split states differently from their
physical weights, so the meta-split execution invariants (set_rows
requires the cache state to match the token indices) cannot hold for
any device count. Replicate all hrm_text tensors on every meta device
instead; single-device and non-meta paths are unchanged.

The `sizeof(int16_t)` branch in `permute_transpose_impl` calls
`rvv_transposed_s32_mn_to_nm` instead of `rvv_transposed_s16_mn_to_nm`.
This is a copy-paste bug from the `sizeof(int32_t)` branch above it.
The s32 function uses 32-bit segment load/stores (`vssseg8e32.v`) on 16-bit
data, reading 2x bytes per element and producing completely wrong
transposition results -- 14 out of 16 positions are corrupted for a 4x4
int16 matrix.
The correct function `rvv_transposed_s16_mn_to_nm` already exists (line 390)
and is used elsewhere in flash attention (line 1488).
The server caches the most recent compute graph per device so that
GRAPH_RECOMPUTE can re-execute it without resending tensor data. The
cached graph nodes hold direct pointers to backend buffers that were
live at graph_compute() time. If any of those buffers is later
released via FREE_BUFFER, the next GRAPH_RECOMPUTE re-executes the
cached graph through the dangling pointers (use-after-free).
The bug is reachable by an unauthenticated remote client. The
dangling pointers point into chunks an attacker can reshape via
subsequent ALLOC_BUFFER/SET_TENSOR commands, and the resulting
read/write through the cached graph is sufficient to leak libc
addresses and hijack the buffer iface vtable used by BUFFER_CLEAR,
yielding remote code execution.
Discard all cached graphs in free_buffer(). The existing null-check
in graph_recompute() then rejects the request and the client falls
back to GRAPH_COMPUTE on the next call.
No protocol or API change.
It's found the MoE ncols_opt tile heuristic needs to be broadened
to include the RDNA3.5 architecture.
The code change is implemented in ggml/src/ggml-cuda/mmq.cu
and just change the GGML_CUDA_CC_IS_RDNA3_0 to
GGML_CUDA_CC_IS_RDNA3 in the condition.
The dense dispatch logic remains unchanged.
The Test machine configuration we used is
AMD Radeon 8060S, gfx1151 (RDNA3.5), 20 CU, wave32
+ AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 388, 8C/16T, 23.79 GB RAM
we complete the Correctness verification and performance evaluation as follows:
test-backend-ops test -b ROCm0 -o MUL_MAT -p type_a=<q4_K|q5_K|q4_0|q5_0>
test-backend-ops test -b ROCm0 -o MUL_MAT_ID -p type_a=<q4_K|q5_K|q4_0|q5_0>
all pass: MUL_MAT 64/64, 29/29, 48/48, 14/14;
MUL_MAT_ID 84/84, 3/3, 74/74, 3/3
Performance result on target machine:
LFM2.5-8B-A1B-UD-Q4_K_M (Q4_K MoE) +16.198% [+12.704, +19.799] 8/8
Qwen1.5-MoE-A2.7B-Q2_K (Q2_K MoE) +6.189% [ +5.245, +7.141] 8/8
pooled (16 pairs) +11.081% [ +7.972, +14.279] 16/16
Token generation (tg128) is unchanged on the Q4_K MoE model and +2.188%
[+0.905, +3.488] on the Q2_K one.
Use BN/2 as the default for BNover2 and as the disabled fallback for BNover4, and remove the enable gate from the MUL_MAT_ID BN/2 branch. The BN/4 branch remains gated by enable_smaller_matrices, while the p.N path is unchanged.
* test-backend-ops: reproduce MUL_MAT_ID NaN for activations beyond f16
The Metal mul_mm_id path narrows src1 to `half` for the simdgroup MMA
(`S1 = half` in every instantiation; ggml-metal.metal:10582 and :10595,
mirrored at :10643/:10654 in the tensor-ops path). f16 saturates at
65504, so a model whose activations exceed that produces inf, and
`simdgroup_multiply_accumulate` then turns the whole 8x8 accumulator
tile into NaN. The mul_mv_id path used below `ne21_mm_id_min` (32)
carries the same values in f32 and is correct, as is every CPU path.
This was untestable before: `init_mul_mat_id_tensors` initializes
uniform [-1, 1], so no existing case can drive an operand out of f16
range. `test_mul_mat_id` gains an `amax` parameter (default 1.0f,
preserving the historical init exactly) that scales only the f32
activations, leaving the quantized weights in their normal range.
Six cases: n=16 sits below the mul_mv_id -> mul_mm_id switch and is the
control that must stay green; n=32 and n=64 are above it and fail on
Metal today. Two shapes, because this is not model- or size-specific —
q4_K at 128 experts / 4 active / 4096x2048 mirrors a real model, and
q8_0 at 8 experts / 2 active / 512x256 shows the same failure at
minimal size.
Observed on Apple M2 Max, macOS, llama.cpp b10156:
MUL_MAT_ID(type_a=q8_0,...,n=32,k=256,amax=100000.000000):
[MUL_MAT_ID] NaN at index 0 (MTL0=nan CPU=583442.375000) FAIL
The real model behind this is Mistral Small 4 (arch mistral4, 128
experts / 4 active), one of whose layers reaches ~1e5 activations: on
Metal every prefill of >=32 tokens returns an entirely NaN vocabulary,
while <32 tokens is correct.
Note kernel_mul_mm (dense) has the identical conversion at :10273 and
:10286 and is expected to fail the same way; it is not covered here.

* metal: fix NaN in mul_mm_id when activations exceed f16 range
kernel_mul_mm_id narrows src1 to `half` for the simdgroup MMA operands
(`S1 = half` in every instantiation). f16 saturates at 65504, so a model
whose activations exceed that produces inf on load, and
simdgroup_multiply_accumulate then propagates NaN across the whole 8x8
accumulator tile. The result is an entirely NaN output — not a precision
loss, a total loss. The mul_mv_id path taken below ne21_mm_id_min (32)
keeps the same values in f32 and is correct, as is every CPU path, so
the same model produces correct logits for short inputs and NaN for
long ones.
Fix: rescale src1 by a power of two so it fits, and undo the scale on
the f32 accumulator at the store. A two-stage reduction computes
max(|src1|) and writes the pair (1/scale, scale) into scratch chained
off the destination buffer, in the same style as the existing tpe/ids
id-mapping scratch. The matmul multiplies on load and on store.
This is exact, not approximate, for two reasons: the dot product is
linear, so one tensor-wide factor commutes through the accumulation;
and the factor is a power of two, so both multiplications are exact in
binary floating point. When max(|src1|) already fits — every model that
works today — the factor is exactly 1.0 and the output is bit-identical
to before. Accumulation was already f32 and is unchanged; only the
operand narrowing was ever the problem.
The reduction is two-stage (256 threadgroups into partials, then one
threadgroup folding them) specifically so it stays bandwidth-bound. A
single-threadgroup version was measured first and cost up to +451%
median on prefill — the scan serialized against an otherwise idle GPU.
It is also dispatched only on the mm path, so decode never pays for it.
Measured on Apple M2 Max, `test-backend-ops perf -o MUL_MAT_ID -b MTL0`,
99 cases, versus the same build without this change:
n=1/4/8 (mul_mv_id, decode) : -0.8% / -0.8% / -0.4% median (noise)
n=32 (mul_mm_id, prefill) : +1.73% median
n=64 : +1.30% median
n=128 : +1.80% median
n=256 : +3.98% median
n=512 : +3.74% median, +7.20% worst
overall : +1.14% median
Correctness, same machine:
- the six new test-backend-ops cases go from 4 FAIL / 2 OK to all OK,
with the n=16 controls (mul_mv_id path) unchanged;
- `test-backend-ops -b MTL0` full run: 0 failures, no regression;
- Mistral-Small-4-119B (arch mistral4, 128 experts / 4 active) now
generates correctly at the default n_ubatch of 512, in both
UD-IQ3_S and UD-Q4_K_XL quantizations. Before this, every prefill of
>= 32 tokens returned an all-NaN vocabulary and only n_ubatch <= 31
(forcing the mul_mv_id path) worked.
Likely fixes#25722 (mistral4 empty output on Metal above ~300 tokens,
FA on and off, generation degenerating to a single control token — the
signature of argmax over an all-NaN distribution). #20668 may be the
same defect attributed to a bad GGUF.
Note kernel_mul_mm (dense) has the identical narrowing at the
corresponding load sites and is expected to fail the same way; it is
left alone here to keep this change reviewable. Also possible, and left
for later: scaling per output column rather than per tensor, which
would preserve more precision when a single token is the hot one.
