* increase default context length to 4096

We lower the default numParallel from 4 to 2 and use these "savings" to
double the default context length from 2048 to 4096.

We're memory neutral in cases when we previously would've used
numParallel == 4, but we add the following mitigation to handle some
cases where we would have previously fallen back to 1x2048 due to low
VRAM: we decide between 2048 and 4096 using a runtime check, choosing
2048 if we're on a one GPU system with total VRAM of <= 4 GB. We
purposefully don't check the available VRAM because we don't want the
context window size to change unexpectedly based on the available VRAM.

We plan on making the default even larger, but this is a relatively
low-risk change we can make to quickly double it.

* fix tests

add an explicit context length so they don't get truncated. The code
that converts -1 from being a signal for doing a runtime check isn't
running as part of these tests.

* tweak small gpu message

* clarify context length default

also make it actually show up in `ollama serve --help`

* envconfig: allow setting context length through env var

The route assembly in Handler lacked clear organization making it
difficult scan for routes and their relationships to each other. This
commit aims to fix that by reordering the assembly of routes to group
them by category and purpose.

Also, be more specific about what "config" refers to (it is about CORS
if you were wondering... I was.)

This provides integration with the new Ollama engine
(58245413 next ollama runner (#7913)) and the rest of the Ollama
infrastructure such as the runner and Ollama server.

In addition, it also builds out the KV cache infrastructure to
support requirements of how Ollama runs models such as:
 - Parallel processing
 - Memory management for defragmentation and shifting
 - Multi-modal modals

Both old and new engines continue to be supported. By default, only
the old engine is used. To enable the new engine:

Start the server with the OLLAMA_NEW_ENGINE environment variable set:
OLLAMA_NEW_ENGINE=1 ./ollama serve

Start a model that is supported by the Ollama engine. This one is Llama 3.1 8b Q4_K_M:
./ollama run jessegross/llama3.1

* llama: wire up builtin runner

This adds a new entrypoint into the ollama CLI to run the cgo built runner.
On Mac arm64, this will have GPU support, but on all other platforms it will
be the lowest common denominator CPU build.  After we fully transition
to the new Go runners more tech-debt can be removed and we can stop building
the "default" runner via make and rely on the builtin always.

* build: Make target improvements

Add a few new targets and help for building locally.
This also adjusts the runner lookup to favor local builds, then
runners relative to the executable, and finally payloads.

* Support customized CPU flags for runners

This implements a simplified custom CPU flags pattern for the runners.
When built without overrides, the runner name contains the vector flag
we check for (AVX) to ensure we don't try to run on unsupported systems
and crash.  If the user builds a customized set, we omit the naming
scheme and don't check for compatibility.  This avoids checking
requirements at runtime, so that logic has been removed as well.  This
can be used to build GPU runners with no vector flags, or CPU/GPU
runners with additional flags (e.g. AVX512) enabled.

* Use relative paths

If the user checks out the repo in a path that contains spaces, make gets
really confused so use relative paths for everything in-repo to avoid breakage.

* Remove payloads from main binary

* install: clean up prior libraries

This removes support for v0.3.6 and older versions (before the tar bundle)
and ensures we clean up prior libraries before extracting the bundle(s).
Without this change, runners and dependent libraries could leak when we
update and lead to subtle runtime errors.

* Better support for AMD multi-GPU

This resolves a number of problems related to AMD multi-GPU setups on linux.

The numeric IDs used by rocm are not the same as the numeric IDs exposed in
sysfs although the ordering is consistent.  We have to count up from the first
valid gfx (major/minor/patch with non-zero values) we find starting at zero.

There are 3 different env vars for selecting GPUs, and only ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES
supports UUID based identification, so we should favor that one, and try
to use UUIDs if detected to avoid potential ordering bugs with numeric IDs

* ROCR_VISIBLE_DEVICES only works on linux

Use the numeric ID only HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES on windows

* Re-introduce the llama package

This PR brings back the llama package, making it possible to call llama.cpp and
ggml APIs from Go directly via CGo. This has a few advantages:

- C APIs can be called directly from Go without needing to use the previous
  "server" REST API
- On macOS and for CPU builds on Linux and Windows, Ollama can be built without
  a go generate ./... step, making it easy to get up and running to hack on
  parts of Ollama that don't require fast inference
- Faster build times for AVX,AVX2,CUDA and ROCM (a full build of all runners
  takes <5 min on a fast CPU)
- No git submodule making it easier to clone and build from source

This is a big PR, but much of it is vendor code except for:

- llama.go CGo bindings
- example/: a simple example of running inference
- runner/: a subprocess server designed to replace the llm/ext_server package
- Makefile an as minimal as possible Makefile to build the runner package for
  different targets (cpu, avx, avx2, cuda, rocm)

* cache: Clear old KV cache entries when evicting a slot

When forking a cache entry, if no empty slots are available we
evict the least recently used one and copy over the KV entries
from the closest match. However, this copy does not overwrite
existing values but only adds new ones. Therefore, we need to
clear the old slot first.

This change fixes two issues:
 - The KV cache fills up and runs out of space even though we think
   we are managing it correctly
 - Performance gets worse over time as we use new cache entries that
   are not hot in the processor caches

* doc: explain golang objc linker warning (#6830)

* llama: gather transitive dependencies for rocm for dist packaging (#6848)

* Refine go server makefiles to be more DRY (#6924)

This breaks up the monolithic Makefile for the Go based runners into a
set of utility files as well as recursive Makefiles for the runners.
Files starting with the name "Makefile" are buildable, while files that
end with ".make" are utilities to include in other Makefiles.  This
reduces the amount of nearly identical targets and helps set a pattern
for future community contributions for new GPU runner architectures.

When we are ready to switch over to the Go runners, these files should
move to the top of the repo, and we should add targets for the main CLI,
as well as a helper "install" (put all the built binaries on the local
system in a runnable state) and "dist" target (generate the various
tar/zip files for distribution) for local developer use.

* llama: don't create extraneous directories (#6988)

* llama: Exercise the new build in CI (#6989)

Wire up some basic sanity testing in CI for the Go runner.  GPU runners are not covered yet.

* llama: Refine developer docs for Go server (#6842)

This enhances the documentation for development focusing on the new Go
server.  After we complete the transition further doc refinements
can remove the "transition" discussion.

* runner.go: Allocate batches for all sequences during init

We should tell the model that we could have full batches for all
sequences. We already do this when we allocate the batches but it was
missed during initialization.

* llama.go: Don't return nil from Tokenize on zero length input

Potentially receiving nil in a non-error condition is surprising to
most callers - it's better to return an empty slice.

* runner.go: Remove stop tokens from cache

If the last token is EOG then we don't return this and it isn't
present in the cache (because it was never submitted to Decode).
This works well for extending the cache entry with a new sequence.

However, for multi-token stop sequences, we won't return any of the
tokens but all but the last one will be in the cache. This means
when the conversation continues the cache will contain tokens that
don't overlap with the new prompt.

This works (we will pick up the portion where there is overlap) but
it causes unnecessary cache thrashing because we will fork the original
cache entry as it is not a perfect match.

By trimming the cache to the tokens that we actually return this
issue can be avoided.

* runner.go: Simplify flushing of pending tokens

* runner.go: Update TODOs

* runner.go: Don't panic when processing sequences

If there is an error processing a sequence, we should return a
clean HTTP error back to Ollama rather than panicing. This will
make us more resilient to transient failures.

Panics can still occur during startup as there is no way to serve
requests if that fails.

* runner.go: More accurately capture timings

Currently prompt processing time doesn't capture the that it takes
to tokenize the input, only decoding time. We should capture the
full process to more accurately reflect reality. This is especially
true once we start processing images where the initial processing
can take significant time. This is also more consistent with the
existing C++ runner.

* runner.go: Support for vision models

In addition to bringing feature parity with the C++ runner, this also
incorporates several improvements:
 - Cache prompting works with images, avoiding the need to re-decode
   embeddings for every message in a conversation
 - Parallelism is supported, avoiding the need to restrict to one
   sequence at a time. (Though for now Ollama will not schedule
   them while we might need to fall back to the old runner.)

* runner.go: Move Unicode checking code and add tests

* runner.go: Export external cache members

Runner and cache are in the same package so the change doesn't
affect anything but it is more internally consistent.

* runner.go: Image embedding cache

Generating embeddings from images can take significant time (on
my machine between 100ms and 8s depending on the model). Although
we already cache the result of decoding these images, the embeddings
need to be regenerated every time. This is not necessary if we get
the same image over and over again, for example, during a conversation.

This currently uses a very small cache with a very simple algorithm
but it is easy to improve as is warranted.

* llama: catch up on patches

Carry forward solar-pro and cli-unicode patches

* runner.go: Don't re-allocate memory for every batch

We can reuse memory allocated from batch to batch since batch
size is fixed. This both saves the cost of reallocation as well
keeps the cache lines hot.

This results in a roughly 1% performance improvement for token
generation with Nvidia GPUs on Linux.

* runner.go: Default to classic input cache policy

The input cache as part of the go runner implemented a cache
policy that aims to maximize hit rate in both single and multi-
user scenarios. When there is a cache hit, the response is
very fast.

However, performance is actually slower when there is an input
cache miss due to worse GPU VRAM locality. This means that
performance is generally better overall for multi-user scenarios
(better input cache hit rate, locality was relatively poor already).
But worse for single users (input cache hit rate is about the same,
locality is now worse).

This defaults the policy back to the old one to avoid a regression
but keeps the new one available through an environment variable
OLLAMA_MULTIUSER_CACHE. This is left undocumented as the goal is
to improve this in the future to get the best of both worlds
without user configuration.

For inputs that result in cache misses, on Nvidia/Linux this
change improves performance by 31% for prompt processing and
13% for token generation.

* runner.go: Increase size of response channel

Generally the CPU can easily keep up with handling reponses that
are generated but there's no reason not to let generation continue
and handle things in larger batches if needed.

* llama: Add CI to verify all vendored changes have patches (#7066)

Make sure we don't accidentally merge changes in the vendored code
that aren't also reflected in the patches.

* llama: adjust clip patch for mingw utf-16 (#7065)

* llama: adjust clip patch for mingw utf-16

* llama: ensure static linking of runtime libs

Avoid runtime dependencies on non-standard libraries

* runner.go: Enable llamafile (all platforms) and BLAS (Mac OS)

These are two features that are shown on llama.cpp's system info
that are currently different between the two runners. On my test
systems the performance difference is very small to negligible
but it is probably still good to equalize the features.

* llm: Don't add BOS/EOS for tokenize requests

This is consistent with what server.cpp currently does. It affects
things like token processing counts for embedding requests.

* runner.go: Don't cache prompts for embeddings

Our integration with server.cpp implicitly disables prompt caching
because it is not part of the JSON object being parsed, this makes
the Go runner behavior similarly.

Prompt caching has been seen to affect the results of text completions
on certain hardware. The results are not wrong either way but they
are non-deterministic. However, embeddings seem to be affected even
on hardware that does not show this behavior for completions. For
now, it is best to maintain consistency with the existing behavior.

* runner.go: Adjust debug log levels

Add system info printed at startup and quiet down noisier logging.

* llama: fix compiler flag differences (#7082)

Adjust the flags for the new Go server to more closely match the
generate flow

* llama: refine developer docs (#7121)

* Optimize container images for startup

This change adjusts how to handle runner payloads to support
container builds where we keep them extracted in the filesystem.
This makes it easier to optimize the cpu/cuda vs cpu/rocm images for
size, and should result in faster startup times for container images.

* Refactor payload logic and add buildx support for faster builds

* Move payloads around

* Review comments

* Converge to buildx based helper scripts

* Use docker buildx action for release

With the new very large parameter models, some users are willing to wait for
a very long time for models to load.

Provide a mechanism for users to set aside an amount of VRAM on each GPU
to make room for other applications they want to start after Ollama, or workaround
memory prediction bugs

This adjusts linux to follow a similar model to windows with a discrete archive
(zip/tgz) to cary the primary executable, and dependent libraries. Runners are
still carried as payloads inside the main binary

Darwin retain the payload model where the go binary is fully self contained.

The OLLAMA_MAX_VRAM env var was a temporary workaround for OOM
scenarios.  With Concurrency this was no longer wired up, and the simplistic
value doesn't map to multi-GPU setups.  Users can still set `num_gpu`
to limit memory usage to avoid OOM if we get our predictions wrong.

This change fixes the handling of keep_alive so that if client
request omits the setting, we only set this on initial load.  Once
the model is loaded, if new requests leave this unset, we'll keep
whatever keep_alive was there.

This may confuse users thinking "auto" is an acceptable string - it must be numeric

Until ROCm v6.2 ships, we wont be able to get accurate free memory
reporting on windows, which makes automatic concurrency too risky.
Users can still opt-in but will need to pay attention to model sizes otherwise they may thrash/page VRAM or cause OOM crashes.
All other platforms and GPUs have accurate VRAM reporting wired
up now, so we can turn on concurrency by default.

This adjusts our default settings to enable multiple models and parallel
requests to a single model.  Users can still override these by the same
env var settings as before.  Parallel has a direct impact on
num_ctx, which in turn can have a significant impact on small VRAM GPUs
so this change also refines the algorithm so that when parallel is not
explicitly set by the user, we try to find a reasonable default that fits
the model on their GPU(s).  As before, multiple models will only load
concurrently if they fully fit in VRAM.
