* cpu: accept BF16 in src1 of mul_mat ggml_conv_1d_dw builds its im2col in F32 when the kernel is BF16, then calls ggml_mul_mat(im2col, kernel), which puts F32 in src0 and BF16 in src1. The CPU backend refused that combination, so it was reported as unsupported on every backend and never compared against anything. Widen BF16 into the F32 work buffer, next to the existing packing of F32 into vec_dot_type. This is the arithmetic the Metal mat vec kernel already uses, both operands promoted to float and accumulated in float, so the two agree exactly rather than approximately. Cover it with a conv_1d_dw test over F32, F16 and BF16 kernels, plus three mul_mat cases with BF16 in src1. * vulkan: reject BF16 in src1 of mul_mat unless src0 is BF16 supports_op only checked the src1 type for non contiguous tensors, so a contiguous BF16 src1 was accepted and the pipeline lookup asserted. The only BF16 src1 path is the BF16 x BF16 multiply, every other src0 type now reports the op as unsupported and the scheduler keeps it on the CPU. The BF16 kernel case of the conv_1d_dw test needs the f32 x bf16 mat vec variants of the Metal backend, which land separately.

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.
