* test: harden scheduler tests

This removes reschedDelay which was stale code, and adds
a new configurable timeout for the waitForVRAMRecovery so
tests can now set the timeout to be very short to avoid the
scheduler getting stuck and hitting a test timeout.

* test: tune tests for partial loads

Give stress tests more time when the model is split between CPU/GPU

This reverts commit 6a62b894.

This revamps how we discover GPUs in the system by leveraging the Ollama
runner.  This should eliminate inconsistency between our GPU discovery and the
runners capabilities at runtime, particularly for cases where we try to filter
out unsupported GPUs.  Now the runner does that implicitly based on the actual
device list.  In some cases free VRAM reporting can be unreliable which can
leaad to scheduling mistakes, so this also includes a patch to leverage more
reliable VRAM reporting libraries if available.

Automatic workarounds have been removed as only one GPU leveraged this, which
is now documented. This GPU will soon fall off the support matrix with the next
ROCm bump.

Additional cleanup of the scheduler and discovery packages can be done in the
future once we have switched on the new memory management code, and removed
support for the llama runner.

This changes the memory allocation strategy from upfront estimation to
tracking actual allocations done by the engine and reacting to that. The
goal is avoid issues caused by both under-estimation (crashing) and
over-estimation (low performance due to under-utilized GPUs).

It is currently opt-in and can be enabled for models running on the
Ollama engine by setting OLLAMA_NEW_ESTIMATES=1. Behavior in other
cases is unchanged and will continue to use the existing estimates.

afaik gpt-oss is the first model that meaningfully transforms tool
function definitions in its template. We found that relatively common
definitions that include `anyOf` were not working because the template
was assuming that types were always defined via a `type` field.

anyOf allows for fully recursive types, so I exposed a
`toTypeScriptType()` function to handle this recursive logic in go and
keep the templates cleaner. The gpt-oss templates will need to be
updated to use this.

We should keep building out our function definition support to more
fully support the parts of json schema that make sense for this use
case, but in the meantime this will unblock some users (e.g., zed's
ollama integration w/ gpt-oss). Probably the most urgent is proper array
support

* bf16

* tests

* gpt-oss

* enable gptoss for engine

* rough estimate

* convert to mxfp4

* handle safetensors U8

* clamp glu/linear

* update tokenizer

* MXFP4 support

This implements the Open Compute Microscaling (MX) FP4 format
as a tensor type with backend implementations focusing
on mulmat and mulmatid on CPU, CUDA, and Metal.

* Unit tests for MXFP4 support

This exercises various operations and shapes on both CPU and GPU (if detected
on the system)

* cuda graph

* unit test adjustments

* cuda: optimize memory access

Read 4 bytes at a time (8 elements) when performing mul_mat_vec_mxfp4

* mac: fix crash on old macos versions

cblas_sgemm is only supported on v13.3 and up, however bf16 is
only supported on v14+ so we were falling back to ggml-blas and
crashing on bf16 tensors.  Checking for the function being null
seems to be the simplest way to condittionally avoid registering the
backend.

* server: Minimum context length for gptoss

This model requires a minimum context length of 8192 to function
effectively. Users can set higher values through all normal mechanisms
but lower values will be silently reset.

* ggml: Multiply by numParallel for gptoss sliding window

When computing the graph size estimate, the context size is already
multiplied by numParallel so estimates reflect that. However, since
sliding window models use a smaller, fixed context size, they need
to manually take numParallel into account.

* gpt-oss integration

includes harmony parser and thinking levels, etc.

* fix sync

* fix tests

* fix lint

- Both `/api/generate` and `/api/chat` now accept a `"think"`
  option that allows specifying whether thinking mode should be on or
  not
- Templates get passed this new option so, e.g., qwen3's template can
  put `/think` or `/no_think` in the system prompt depending on the
  value of the setting
- Models' thinking support is inferred by inspecting model templates.
  The prefix and suffix the parser uses to identify thinking support is
  also automatically inferred from templates
- Thinking control & parsing is opt-in via the API to prevent breaking
  existing API consumers. If the `"think"` option is not specified, the
  behavior is unchanged from previous versions of ollama
- Add parsing for thinking blocks in both streaming/non-streaming mode
  in both `/generate` and `/chat`
- Update the CLI to make use of these changes. Users can pass `--think`
  or `--think=false` to control thinking, or during an interactive
  session they can use the commands `/set think` or `/set nothink`
- A `--hidethinking` option has also been added to the CLI. This makes
  it easy to use thinking in scripting scenarios like
  `ollama run qwen3 --think --hidethinking "my question here"` where you
  just want to see the answer but still want the benefits of thinking
  models

* Move quantization logic to GGML via new backend

This moves the model aware logic to Go code and calls GGMLs quantization code for model creation.

* Remove "add model quantizations"

This is no longer needed now that quantization is implemented in Go+GGML code directly.

This reverts commit 424f6486.

* 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`

No functional change. Many different done reasons can be set at the runner
level, so rather than obsuring them we should return them to the server
process and let it choose what to do with the done reason. This separates
the API concerns from the runner.

feat: add new Ollama engine using ggml through cgo

This change introduces a new way to run pretrained models. It introduces 3 high level interfaces and a bunch of smaller helper interfaces to facilitate this.

- `model.Model` defines the interface for a model architecture. Models such as `llama` and `mllama`, which are provided as examples, can implement the model's forward propagation in the `Forward` method. This method will be called to generate completions. This interface can be found in `model/model.go`
- `ml.Backend` defines the interface for a backend tensor library, in this case `ggml`. Among other things, a Backend is responsible for loading a pretrained model into hardware (GPU, CPU, etc) and providing an interface for Models to access loaded tensors. This interface can be found in `ml/backend.go`
- `ml.Tensor` defines the interface for a tensor and tensor operations

This is the first implementation of the new engine. Follow up PRs will implement more features:

- non-greedy sampling (#8410)
- integration with Ollama and KV caching (#8301)
- more model support (#9080) with more coming soon

Replaces `POST /api/create` to use JSON instead of a Modelfile.

This is a breaking change.

Fixes #7944
