ruanrms c8ee4945b1 DFlash: seed the draft KV cache from multimodal embedding batches
`common_speculative_impl_draft_dflash::process()` returned early on any batch carrying embeddings, so an image prefill never had its target-layer features fused through the DFlash encoder and injected into the draft's KV cache. That left a hole spanning the image's positions, and the next injection at a post-image position failed to initialize its batch:

```
decoding image batch 1/1, n_tokens_batch = 256
decode: failed to initialize batch
llama_decode: failed to decode, ret = -1
process: llama_decode(ctx_dft) failed rc=-1 (n_tokens=17, offset=0)
srv decode: failed to process speculative batch
```

Every image request with `--spec-type draft-dflash` failed with HTTP 500. Text-only was unaffected, since those batches carry token ids and were let through.

Restore the earlier condition, which admits a batch that is either tokens or embeddings and skips only the degenerate neither/both cases. The rest of `process()` is already layout-agnostic -- it gathers features via `llama_get_embeddings_layer_inp()` and indexes `batch_in.pos[]` / `batch_in.seq_id[]`, none of which assume token ids -- so this is the whole fix.

Validated against `muse-glimmer-30B-bf16.gguf` + `mmproj-muse-glimmer-30B-bf16.gguf` + a DFlash draft head, on an image describe-the-shapes request:

- before: HTTP 500, `failed to process speculative batch`
- after: HTTP 200, draft acceptance 0.34012 (167 accepted / 491 generated), mean len 3.04

Output equivalence holds, which is the property that matters: at temperature 0 the drafted response is byte-identical to the same request served with no draft attached (1213/1213 chars), so the draft is drafting correctly through the image context rather than merely not crashing.

Quick start

A few options to get llama.cpp installed on your machine:

Once installed:

# Download and run a model directly from Hugging Face
llama cli -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF

# Launch OpenAI-compatible API server
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF

Description

The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.

  • Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
  • Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
  • AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
  • RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
  • 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
  • Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
  • Vulkan and SYCL backend support
  • CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity

The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
