* Skip glm5-next in model saver, fix CRLF

* Skip glm5-next in sweep

* Remove T4 fallback

* Review cleanup

* Review suggestions

* Defer separate MTP gguf handling to MTP PR, drop filter

* Update llama-model.cpp to fix rebase error

* gguf-py : merge tensor map entries for HC tensors

* model : use build_gdn_l2_norm in GLM5_NEXT implementation

* chore : remove trailing whitespace

* model : use new OP precision setting API in GLM5_NEXT implementation

* mtmd : use ggml_swiglu_clamp in GLM5V and apply the image token limit

The two clamps around swiglu_split are what ggml_swiglu_clamp already does,
so the clamp bounds collapse back to one value. GLM5V also never called
set_limit_image_tokens(), so --image-max-tokens had no effect.

* llama : keep the GLM5-Next k-pool layout across ubatches

The layout was rebuilt from a full cell scan on every ubatch. Pools are fixed
by the positions relative to the sequence's first one, so the layout now lives
on the memory and a ubatch only appends to it.

A sequence edit no longer stales every pooled key either, only the ones at or
after the edited position, which makes a tail seq_rm free. The pooling subgraph
is built unconditionally so the graph shape no longer changes every kpool
tokens, and the pool axis is folded into rows before soft_max, which otherwise
exceeds the CUDA gridDim.y limit past n_kv 262144.

* model : write the GLM5-Next recurrent rollback checkpoints

The conv state and the delta net state were only written to the live row, so a
rollback restored whatever the checkpoint rows happened to hold. Take the same
route as kimi-k3: build_recurrent_attn for the state, and write all K_rs conv
groups. That also drops a state view that assumed contiguous rows.

Enroll the arch in test-recurrent-state-rollback, which catches this under its
garbage-filled cache pass.

* llama: fix PR #27773 test-save-load-state restore failure

Clear the attention and indexer cache data after a failed hybrid state restore so restored NaNs cannot affect a later sequence.

* llama: fix PR #27773 gpu-rocm graph reallocation

Reserve the full GLM5-Next pool capacity and dirty pool count. The gpu-rocm Test step aborts when n_new grows while the graph node count stays fixed; CUDA, Vulkan, Metal, and WebGPU checks report the same error.

* llama : fix GLM5-Next k-pool layout staleness after edits and shared teardown

Two defects in the cross-ubatch k-pool layout added by the k-pool commit:

1. Wrong results. An edited sequence only rebuilt its pool layout when its cell
   count changed, so if the first ubatch after an edit added back exactly as many
   cells as were removed, the stale position-to-cell list survived. With a unified
   cache and more than one sequence, where another sequence takes the freed cells,
   the reused layout points at the wrong cells (CPU: large logit drift, CUDA: NaN).
   Rebuild whenever the sequence is stale, not only on a size mismatch.

2. Slowdown. "shared" mode was assumed to end only with an edit that forces a
   rebuild, but sharing also ends when the other sequence is removed. The survivor
   kept shared = true, pinning cache_safe off and re-pooling every pool on every
   ubatch (server trigger: n>1 completions with -kvu, via the seq_cp in
   copy_state_to). In seq_rm, if the layout has shared cells, stale every sequence
   so one rebuild re-derives sharing and cache_safe returns to 1.

* llama : fix build_attn_mha stream stride for non-contiguous q

build_attn_mha split the batch into streams with a stream stride of
q->nb[3]/n_stream. That only equals one stream's span, (ne[2]/n_stream)*nb[2],
when q is contiguous. GLM5-Next is nope-only, so it does not concat a rope part
and passes the permuted q_absorbed straight in, where nb[3] != ne[2]*nb[2]; the
stride was then n_head times too large and every stream s >= 1 read another
head's queries. Split-KV (-np N without --kv-unified) multi-stream prefill was
wrong for every stream past the first. Unified KV and decode were unaffected
(n_stream == 1, and decode takes the gather path). Other MLA models concat rope
so q is contiguous and the computed value is unchanged for them.

Compute the stride from the token dimension, which is identical for a
contiguous q.

* llama : re-derive GLM5-Next k-pool sharing on state_read/state_drop

The shared-cell teardown added to seq_rm (stale every sequence when the layout
has shared cells, so a survivor does not keep shared = true and pin cache_safe
off) was missing from the other paths that can free shared cells: state_read
and state_drop staled only the one sequence. Apply the same re-derivation there
and correct the comment that claimed sharing ends only via an edit or seq_rm.

* quant : drop duplicate GLM5-Next hc_ filter

The hc_ name filter was listed twice in the GLM5_NEXT protection block.

gguf

This is a Python package for writing binary files in the GGUF (GGML Universal File) format.

See convert_hf_to_gguf.py as an example for its usage.

Installation

pip install gguf

Optionally, you can install gguf with the extra 'gui' to enable the visual GGUF editor.

pip install gguf[gui]

API Examples/Simple Tools

examples/writer.py — Generates example.gguf in the current directory to demonstrate generating a GGUF file. Note that this file cannot be used as a model.

examples/reader.py — Extracts and displays key-value pairs and tensor details from a GGUF file in a readable format.

gguf/scripts/gguf_dump.py — Dumps a GGUF file's metadata to the console.

gguf/scripts/gguf_set_metadata.py — Allows changing simple metadata values in a GGUF file by key.

gguf/scripts/gguf_convert_endian.py — Allows converting the endianness of GGUF files.

gguf/scripts/gguf_new_metadata.py — Copies a GGUF file with added/modified/removed metadata values.

gguf/scripts/gguf_editor_gui.py — Allows for viewing, editing, adding, or removing metadata values within a GGUF file as well as viewing its tensors with a Qt interface.

Development

Maintainers who participate in development of this package are advised to install it in editable mode:

cd /path/to/llama.cpp/gguf-py

pip install --editable .

Note: This may require to upgrade your Pip installation, with a message saying that editable installation currently requires setup.py. In this case, upgrade Pip to the latest:

pip install --upgrade pip

Automatic publishing with CI

There's a GitHub workflow to make a release automatically upon creation of tags in a specified format.

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Create a tag named gguf-vx.x.x where x.x.x is the semantic version number.
git tag -a gguf-v1.0.0 -m "Version 1.0 release"
  1. Push the tags.
git push origin --tags

Manual publishing

If you want to publish the package manually for any reason, you need to have twine and build installed:

pip install build twine

Then, follow these steps to release a new version:

  1. Bump the version in pyproject.toml.
  2. Build the package:
python -m build
  1. Upload the generated distribution archives:
python -m twine upload dist/*

Run Unit Tests

From root of this repository you can run this command to run all the unit tests

python -m unittest discover ./gguf-py -v

TODO

  • Include conversion scripts as command line entry points in this package.
