```
dynamo-run in=batch:prompts.jsonl out=mistralrs ~/llm_models/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct/
```

The file has genai format, one entry per line:
```
{"text": "the prompt"}
{"text": ..etc
```

The prompt is evaluated and the output written to `output.jsonl` in the
same folder as the input.

At the end of the run various statistics are printed:
> Ran 5 files in 8s 679ms. Tokens in: 40 (5/s). Tokens out: 346 (43/s)

This is also helpful for pushing load into the system and stressing the
various components. Not intended for performance measurement, it's a
batch inference tool.

Engines mistralrs, sglang and vllm included by default. Can be disabled like this: `cargo build --no-default-features --features <add-back-what-you-want>`.

Added `--feature vulkan` option, for llamacpp.

Build time message if CUDA or Metal would help and are missing. That's the best we can do:
> warning: dynamo-run@0.1.0: CUDA not enabled, re-run with `--features cuda`

Runtime message if CUDA, Metal or Vulkan are enabled:
> 2025-03-14T21:59:26.501937Z  INFO dynamo_run: CUDA on

Runtime message if they are missing:
> 2025-03-14T22:02:37.439404Z  INFO dynamo_run: CPU mode. Rebuild with `--features cuda|metal|vulkan` for better performance

Defaut engine message includes available engines:
> 2025-03-14T21:59:26.503612Z  INFO dynamo_run: Using default engine: mistralrs. Use out=<engine> to specify one of echo_core, echo_full, mistralrs, llamacpp, sglang, vllm, pystr, pytok

The really important outcome is that this should now "just work":
```
cargo install dynamo-run
dynamo-run Qwen/Qwen2.5-3B-Instruct
```

Sadly you still need `--features cuda|metal` for performance, I couldn't automate that.

On Mac embedded python interpreters don't pick up the virtual env. This seems to be a known problem. Fix the sys.path.

- Mac doesn't have `pipe2` syscall so use plain `pipe`.
- rtnetlink isn't a dependency on mac so don't use the type

Previously we tokenized and counted tokens to stop when max tokens was reached. Now we let the mistral.rs engine do it which saves the extra tokenization step.

Also dynamo-run prints which engines are compiled in in help message, and some minor lint fixes.

"netlink" doesn't exist on Mac. We print the primary network interface to help multi-node setup, which is also unlikely on Mac.

- Any engine can take the name of a Hugging Face repository. It will be downloaded before calling the engine.

- The default engine (previously always mistralrs) depends on what is compiled in.

- Text can be piped in and will result in a single run of the model.

All of those together mean if you build with `--features vllm` you can do this and it will download the model and run it with vllm, answer your question, and exit:
```

Command line arguments are passed to the python engine like this:
```
dynamo-run out=pystr:my_python_engine.py -- -n 42 --custom-arg Orange --yes
```

The python engine receives the arguments in `sys.argv`. The argument list will include some standard ones as well as anything after the `--`.

This input:
```
dynamo-run out=pystr:my_engine.py /opt/models/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct/ --model-name llama_3.2 --tensor-parallel-size 4 -- -n 1
```

is read like this:
```
async def generate(request):
    .. as before ..

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print(f"MAIN: {sys.argv}")
```

and produces this output:
```
MAIN: ['my_engine.py', '--model-path', '/opt/models/Llama-3.2-3B-Instruct/', '--model-name', 'llama3.2', '--http-port', '8080', '--tensor-parallel-size', '4', '--base-gpu-id', '0', '--num-nodes', '1', '--node-rank', '0', '-n', '1']
```

This allows quick iteration on the engine setup. Note how the `-n` `1` is included. Flags `--leader-addr` and `--model-config` will also be added if provided to `dynamo-run`.
