* tests: add single threaded history test

Also tidies up some existing tests to handle more model output variation

* test: add support for testing specific architectures

Sometimes the context test results are pure emoji's
Thanksgiving has too much variability, so swap for a more straight forward prompt.

* tests: reduce stress on CPU to 2 models

This should avoid flakes due to systems getting overloaded with 3 (or more) models running concurrently

* tests: allow slow systems to pass on timeout

If a slow system is still streaming a response, and the response
will pass validation, don't fail just because the system is slow.

* test: unload embedding models more quickly

The context must always be able to store the current batch, so
if the user requests a small context then we should also shrink
the batch to match. This also fixes the TestLongInputContext
test on the new engine. (The old engine already has this behavior.)

* perf: build graph for next batch in parallel to keep GPU busy

This refactors the main run loop of the ollama runner to perform the main GPU
intensive tasks (Compute+Floats) in a go routine so we can prepare the next
batch in parallel to reduce the amount of time the GPU stalls waiting for the
next batch of work.

* tests: tune integration tests for ollama engine

This tunes the integration tests to focus more on models supported
by the new engine.

* test: improve scheduler/concurrency stress tests

The scheduler test used to use approximate memory figures and would often
over or under shoot a systems capcity leading to flaky test results.
This should improve the reliability of this scenario by leveraging
ps output to determinie exactly how many models it takes to
trigger thrashing.

The concurrency test is also refined to target num_parallel + 1 and handle
timeouts better.

With these refinements, TestMultiModelConcurrency was redundant

* test: add parallel generate with history

TestGenerateWithHistory will help verify caching and context
are properly handled while making requests

* test: focus embed tests on embedding models

remove non-embedding models from the embedding tests

some of the new models need a few more valid responses to pass

Also wires up support to override the default "smol" model

* Only load supported models on new engine

Verify the model is supported before trying to load

* int: testcase for all library models

usage example:
  go test --tags=integration,perf -count 1 ./integration -v -timeout 1h -run TestModelsPerf 2>&1 | tee int.log
  cat int.log | grep MODEL_PERF_HEADER | cut -f2- -d: > perf.csv
  cat int.log | grep MODEL_PERF_DATA | cut -f2- -d: >> perf.csv

Verified these fail on 0.9.1 and pass on HEAD.

Replace the older llava model with qwen2.5 for vision tests
Skip split-batch test on small VRAM systems to avoid excessive test time

* 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.

The cleanup routine from InitServerconnection should run in the defer of the test case to properly detect failures and report the server logs

Add some new test coverage for various model architectures,

Both interface{} and any (which is just an alias for interface{} introduced in Go 1.18) represent the empty interface that all types satisfy.

Models may require that a set of inputs all be processed as part
of the same batch. For example, if an image has multiple patches
with fully connected attention between them, we should not split
the batch in the middle of an image.

Fixes #9697

This had fallen out of sync with the envconfig behavior, where max queue default was not zero.

Fragmentation of the KV cache can occur due to cache shifting or
different sequences getting processed. Decode uses a heuristic to
decide if it should defrag. However, this heuristic isn't 100%
accurate, so decoding can sometimes fail by surprise.

For these cases, if decode indicates that there is no KV cache space,
we should defrag and then try again.

* Give unicode test more time to run

Some slower GPUs (or partial CPU/GPU loads) can take more than the default 30s to complete this test

* Give more time for concurrency test

CPU inference can be very slow under stress

Use cosine similarity to make the embeddings tests more robust

We check for partial unicode characters and accumulate them before
sending. However, when we did send, we still sent each individual piece
separately, leading to broken output. This combines everything into
a single group, which is also more efficient.

This also switches to the built-in check for valid unicode characters,
which is stricter. After this, we should never send back an invalid
sequence.

Fixes #7290

* 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.

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

* Fix embeddings memory corruption

The patch was leading to a buffer overrun corruption.  Once removed though, parallism
in server.cpp lead to hitting an assert due to slot/seq IDs being >= token count.  To
work around this, only use slot 0 for embeddings.

* Fix embed integration test assumption

The token eval count has changed with recent llama.cpp bumps (0.3.5+)

* add prompt tokens to embed response

* rm slog

* metrics

* types

* prompt n

* clean up

* reset submodule

* update tests

* test name

* list metrics

* float cmp

* increase tolerance

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.
