Add CAPABILITY declarations to Modelfiles and an additive capabilities
field to create requests. Preserve declarations across GGUF and safetensors
creation, inheritance, and Modelfile export.
Require decision capability before scheduling System One requests instead
of matching Qwen architecture/renderer metadata. Retain main's GGUF-only
scoring restriction until the separate MLX runtime work lands.
Extracted from the capability foundation in 36d46a0c3 on system_one_mlx;
MLX scoring and manifest-list changes are intentionally separate.
Switch from rejecting API requests to logging a warning. Model creation still rejects the deprecated param.
Follow up from #18448 to remove the hard API failure.
* create: add server-side MLX imports and drop GGUF conversion
Support safetensors imports through the MLX create pipeline both locally and on the server, including remote upload/staging, draft layer handling, cancellation propagation, transfer limits, and shared manifest/blob writing.
Limit GGUF create to wrapping existing GGUF inputs into Ollama manifests. Remove the in-tree safetensors-to-GGUF converter, server quantization path, and converter-only dependencies so GGUF conversion and quantization stay in llama.cpp tooling.
Keep the MLX path focused on supported safetensors model creation with validation before MLX work, and expose that flow without the --experimental CLI gate.
* address comments
* add client side gguf create fast path
* address comments
* rebase adjustments
* Report cached prompt tokens
Add prompt_eval_cached_count to native responses and expose equivalent cached-token fields through the OpenAI- and Anthropic-compatible APIs. Keep prompt_eval_count as the logical input total while excluding cache hits from CLI and benchmark prefill rates. Surface processed and cached prompt counts in benchmark output.
Collect cache counts from llama-server and MLX, preserve coherent metrics across two-pass structured generation.

Request options are the model's published parameters and the request's
own options layered over the server defaults, so the default
repeat_penalty of 1.1 reaches every model whose parameters leave it
unset. No maker of the library's current models recommends 1.1: their
generation configs either omit the penalty, meaning 1.0, or pin 1.05.
llama.cpp dropped the same 1.1 default in 2024; vLLM, SGLang, and
transformers apply no penalty. An always-on penalty also distorts
output that legitimately repeats tokens, such as code, JSON, and long
reasoning traces.
The penalty is especially costly for speculative decoding, where
drafts are proposed without it: the penalized target rejects drafted
tokens and the depth controller backs off. On muse-glimmer 30B (DFlash
on M5 Max, HumanEval) the 1.1 default costs 13-16% of end-to-end
throughput at greedy and temperature 1 alike, and drops prose
acceptance at temperature 0.8 from 0.44 to 0.30. On qwen3.6-35B it
cuts the mean accepted draft length from 4.3 to 3.5 tokens and makes
the controller stop speculating on prose.
Defaulting to 1.0 disables the penalty unless a model's parameters or
the request set one. Across the library:
- qwen3, qwen3.6, and qwen3-coder pin their own values (1.0, 1.0, and
Qwen's recommended 1.05) and are unchanged.
- Everything else local now matches its maker's no-penalty
recommendation, including gemma2 through gemma4, muse-glimmer, both
laguna 2.1 models, qwen3.5 (previously 1.1 stacked on its
presence_penalty of 1.5), gpt-oss, deepseek-r1 and v3.1, the
nemotron family, granite4, the mistral and llama3/llama4 families,
phi4, glm4, llava, and devstral.
- qwen2.5 recommends 1.05 but ships no parameters, so it moves from
1.1 to 1.0 and still needs a parameters layer to conform.
- Cloud models (kimi-k3, deepseek-v4-flash) never receive these
defaults.
Small older models may repeat themselves more without the penalty
masking it; the remedy is a per-model parameter, not a penalty applied
to every model.
Remove the x/imagegen tree (MLX image generation engine, Flux2/zimage
models, cache, C bindings) and all imagegen integration points:
- server: drop imagegen routes, scheduling, and generate handling
- api/cmd/docs: remove image generation API surface and docs
- middleware/openai: remove image endpoint support
- integration: remove imagegen test suites
- x/create: adopt the rewritten create pipeline from main; drop
imagegen create path (CreateImageGenModel, IsTensorModelDir,
model_index.json detection, Flux2KleinPipeline vision hack)
- retain x/imagegen/manifest (Ollama-store safetensors manifest
loader), still used by x/mlxrunner and x/create/client
- fix Windows MLX dl.dll install, MLX CMake version path, and the
show command after removing safetensors models
Recent upstream Pascal kernel fixes let us compile native SM60/SM61 kernels again instead of relying on PTX JIT, so allow Flash Attention auto at runtime for CC 6.x devices.
Fixes#16591Fixes#16754
The presets and docs had fallen out of sync with what our current ROCm versions on Linux and Windows actually support. We rely on Vulkan now to cover these older unsupported devices.
Our cuda_v12 build requires nvcc fatbin compression, which in turn requires driver 550 or newer. This change filters incompatible CUDA devices based on the runtime and driver version. This allows users to build from source with older toolkits to support older drivers.
Fixes#16449
* 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.
