* broad lint fixes to sidestep CI scope glitch
* runner: Remove CGO engines, use llama-server exclusively for GGML models
Remove the vendored GGML and llama.cpp backend, CGO runner, Go model
implementations, and sample. llama-server (built from upstream llama.cpp via
FetchContent) is now the sole inference engine for GGUF-based models.
(Safetensor based models continue to run on the new MLX engine.) This allows
us to more rapidly pick up new capabilities and fixes from llama.cpp as they
come out.
On windows this now requires recent AMD driver versions to support ROCm v7 as
llama.cpp currently does not support building against v6.

* preserve tool definition and call JSON ordering
This is another iteration of
<https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/12518>, but this time we've
simplified things by relaxing the competing requirements of being
compatible AND order-preserving with templates (vs. renderers). We
maintain backwards compatibility at the cost of not guaranteeing order
for templates. We plan on moving more and more models to renderers,
which have been updated to use these new data types, and additionally
we could add an opt-in way of templates getting an order-preserved list
(e.g., via sibling template vars)
* orderedmap_test: remove testify
* 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
On Windows, recent llama.cpp changes make mmap slower in most
cases, so default to off. This also implements a tri-state for
use_mmap so we can detect the difference between a user provided
value of true/false, or unspecified.
