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.

* fix: Fix support for arch-specific ggml-cpu source files with new arrangement

In https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/13892, all arch-specific
implementations were split out into a nested tree structure under
ggml-cpu/arch. This conflicts with standard CGO layout where all
arch-specific source files are expected to live in the same directory as
the parent go module and use suffixes based on GOOS and GOARCH. As such,
there were really two options for getting this to work:

1. Add a patch on top of the GGML sync to rearrange the files to match the
GO layout convention
2. Use CGO directives to conditionally include the nested source files in
the compilation units

This commit does (2) in order to minimize the set of changes needed on top
of the upstream file layout. To get this to work, there are two key things
needed:

1. In cpu.go, #cgo directives are added to explicitly set __${GOARCH}__ in
the preprocessor directives
2. In arch-impls.c|cpp, use an #ifdef | #elif defined | #endif chain to
explicitly include the .c|.cpp files for the given architecture from the
nested directory

* get eos_token_id from generation_config.json

* comments

* remove special case for gemma3 special vocab (#10743)

* 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.

Some options listed in api/types.go are not supported in
newer models, or have been deprecated in the past. This is
the first of a series of PRs to clean up the API options

Clear KV cache when shift operation is not supported by model.
Added KvCacheCanShift() check to handle models that can't perform cache shifts,
falling back to full cache clear while preserving logical token history to
maintain expected behavior when context window fills up.

- output backend system info when initializing the backend. this ensures
  this information is always present without needing to be called
  explicitly
- convert to structured logging
- enumerate devices rather than backends since devices are ordered
- track device indices grouped by device name

Shield the code processing the embedding result
from subsequent calls that may overwrite the same
buffer to process a second input when retrieving
model embeddings.

This reverts commit bea1f1fa.

This puts the low-level runner logging back on stderr for consistency with prior releases

Previously we decoded and re-encoded JSON schemas during validation,
which served no purpose since json.RawMessage already validates JSON
syntax. Worse, the re-encoding lost field ordering from the original
schema, which affects inference quality during step-by-step reasoning.

While fixing this ordering issue by using json.RawMessage directly,
testing revealed that schema_to_grammar (from llama.cpp) also fails to
preserve field order during grammar generation. This appears to be the
root cause of inference degradation.

This change prevents us from mangling the user's original schema order,
but we still need to address the ordering issue in schema_to_grammar.
That will be a separate change.

Updates #7978

The final implementation of #7499 removed dynamic vector requirements
in favor of a simpler filename based model, and this was left over logic that
is no longer needed.

* 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.

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.

This adds support for the Jetson JetPack variants into the Go runner

Check for NULL return values from llama.cpp in more places and
convert them into Go errors, which should make debugging easier
in the future rather than having hidden surprises in our data
structures.

Mllama has large embeddings (100 MB per image) and each embedding is
represented as 1 token when passed to llama.cpp. Batches are pre-
allocated for the size of the tokens times the batch size, so this
results in allocations of over 50 GB at the default batch size.
On some systems, these mallocs will fail.

Since an image is represented as a single token and mllama doesn't
support more than 1 image per request, we only need to allocate a
batch size of 1, which is much more reasonable. In addition, for
non-multimodal models, we don't need to allocate the embedding
batches at all.

Fixes #7464

-Update mllama to take the cross attention state as embeddings in
a batch, more similar to how Llava handles it. This improves
integration with the input cache.
-Pass locations in a prompt for embeddings using tags similar to Llava.
-Abstract interface to vision models so the main runner accesses Clip
and Mllama similarly

This will no longer error if built with regular gcc on windows.  To help
triage issues that may come in related to different compilers, the runner now
reports the compier used by cgo.
