Static shapes:
- get_graph_input_shape() left the s_copy / s_copy-leaf inputs dynamic
([1,1,1,-1]) even in static mode, which propagated a dynamic slot dim through
GET_ROWS into the conv/GDN state, the state reshapes and the GDN output.
- With -np 1 the s_copy defrag remainder gathers zero rows; short-circuit that
CPY to the untouched cache instead of emitting a degenerate Slice/Concat, and
skip binding its zero-byte ggml tensor as an output (the dynamic path already
did the latter, the static path wrote the full cache over a 0-byte buffer).
Token-count independence:
- In static mode the compiled model's token count is the prefill chunk size or
1, not the captured cgraph's. Offsets derived from the captured count were
therefore wrong. Anchor the GDN state slice at the end of the packed
[attn | state] output and drop the rs_src_begin runtime inputs, and make
VIEWs over the GDN output / conv_input pass through so the consumer does the
slicing.
- CONT could not identify its token axis when the graph was captured with a
single token (every trailing dim has the same stride and size 1) and baked
the captured shape into the prefill model.
Chunked prefill:
- The last chunk is padded with fabricated tokens. Attention masks them, but
the recurrent path folded them into cache_r/cache_s permanently. Add a
chunk_valid_len runtime input, use it to zero g and beta for padded steps
(making the recurrence an exact identity) and to end the conv snapshot window
at the last valid token, and disable the recurrent-cache reset after the
first chunk so earlier chunks are not wiped.
- get_is_prefill() and the chunk loop bound read inp_pos->ne[0] directly, but
IMROPE stacks 4 position planes, so every decode step was run through the
padded prefill model and the loop ran extra out-of-bounds chunks.
cache_rs_reset_idx/len now stay runtime Parameters in static mode, since
can_reuse_statically() does not invalidate the cached model on ComputeParams
changes. Add GGML_OPENVINO_FORCE_STATIC to exercise the static path on CPU.
* Update to OpenVINO 2026.3.1
* ggml-openvino: forward NPU compilation mode parameters
Add GGML_OPENVINO_NPU_COMPILE_CONFIG to the backend's cached environment so callers can configure the NPU compiler without using the generic property escape hatch.
When the value is non-empty, pass it to OpenVINO as NPU_COMPILATION_MODE_PARAMS. This enables settings such as optimization-level=3 for NPU compilation while preserving the existing behavior when the variable is unset and leaving CPU and GPU configuration unchanged.
Document the variable, its NPU-only scope, and the optimization-level=3 example in the OpenVINO backend runtime configuration table.

* ci : inline UI version resolution into ui-build.yml
* ci : build UI once and reuse the artifact in release jobs

* ui : disable the npm UI build by default (LLAMA_BUILD_UI=OFF)
The flag now only controls building the UI from source via npm. The UI

* ci : install gh in ccache-clear if missing (container jobs)
The ccache-clear action relies on the gh CLI, which is not present in
container-based jobs. Install it on demand so those jobs can clear caches.
Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731
* ci : install gh via apt repo in ccache-clear

* ci : pass --repo to gh cache commands in ccache-clear
In container jobs gh cannot auto-detect the repository from git, so
gh cache list/delete fail with 'failed to run git: not a git repository'.
Pass the repository explicitly via --repo using GITHUB_REPOSITORY.

* ci : drop -new suffix from vulkan ccache key
The -new suffix was only needed to force a fresh cache. With
ccache-clear now evicting stale caches, the original key can be used
again. The old ccache-vulkan-ubuntu-24.04-arm-new entries still match
the ccache-clear key prefix and are cleaned up automatically.
Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731
* ci : fix ccache-clear date parsing on macOS (BSD date)
macOS ships BSD date, which has no -d option. The older cutoff check
was silently disabled there: 'date: illegal option -- d' errors in the
log and the loop was only stopped by the min limit, risking deletion
of caches not older than the cutoff (e.g. saved by a concurrent job).
Parse the ISO-8601 timestamps with GNU date when available and fall
back to BSD date otherwise (TZ=UTC, fractional seconds dropped).
Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731
* ci : extract ccache-clear logic into scripts/ccache-clear.sh
The composite action now consists of a dedicated step that installs the
GitHub CLI when missing (e.g. in container jobs) and a thin step that
calls the new script. The script follows the make-release-checks.sh
conventions (usage/env header, set -euo pipefail, CLI flags) and only
checks that gh is available. The action inputs are unchanged, so the
workflow steps are untouched.

As agreed in ggml discussion #1579, the official semver releases now
include a nightly-tag.txt asset containing the tag of the corresponding
nightly release (e.g. b10485). The Web UI assets are published to the
HF bucket under the nightly tag, so this makes them discoverable for
each official release.
- make-release-desc.sh: expose the resolved nightly tag as a
nightly_tag output
- make-release.yml: create nightly-tag.txt from that tag, upload it
as a release asset (skipped on dry-run), mention it in the release
body and in the dry-run summary

* ci : create pre-release with change log and nightly link in make-release
After pushing the tag, create a pre-release using
ggml-org/action-create-release. The release description is generated by
scripts/make-release-desc.sh: the change log between the current and
previous version (one line per commit), a link to the corresponding
nightly build when it exists, and a note that semantic versioning is
still work in progress.

* cmake : bump version to 0.1.2
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : find the nightly tag by commit in make-release-desc.sh
The nightly release is guaranteed by the release checks to point at HEAD,
so instead of reconstructing its name (commit count, branch, hash) just
pick the b* tag pointing at HEAD. This also drops the RELEASE_BRANCH env
var from the workflow.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : resolve the release commit from the version tag in make-release-desc.sh
The change log and nightly lookup now use the commit the version tag
points at (HEAD when the tag does not exist), instead of always HEAD.
This makes the script usable locally for older versions, e.g.
./scripts/make-release-desc.sh v0.1.1. The tag is resolved to a SHA
first, since --points-at does not peel annotated tags.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : normalize the version argument in make-release-desc.sh
Accept the version with or without the leading v (0.1.1 == v0.1.1) and
reject anything else, instead of silently treating a bare version as a
non-existent tag name.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* cont : clean-up
Add a "Create and push git tag" step to the release job, right before
the "Create release" step. The tag is created with git tag and pushed
with the deploy key already configured by the Clone step, instead of
relying on the Releases API (action-create-release) to create it as a
side effect.
The tag is lightweight, matching all existing b<number> release tags.
The step is idempotent: if the tag already exists (e.g. on a re-run),
creation and push are skipped.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : parallelize platform builds in build-xcframework.sh
The ios-xcode release job builds 7 platform/simulator configurations
sequentially, each with -j $(nproc). Run them with at most 3 concurrent
builds (the release runner has 3 cores), splitting the cores between the
builds (-j 1 each on the runner), so total CPU pressure is unchanged while
the build phase runs about 2.3x faster.
- convert the 7 build blocks into functions (flags unchanged)
- add a run_builds_parallel pool: 3-slot sliding window, per-build logs,
dumps the failing log and aborts on error (background job failures do
not trigger set -e)
- queue the 2-arch builds first so the slower builds occupy the slots early
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* pi : add guideline for comments
* cont : disable 5/7 builds
* ci : make build-xcframework.sh builds configurable via CLI args
The script now takes an optional list of builds to run
(ios-sim ios-device macos visionos visionos-sim tvos-sim tvos-device);
with no arguments it builds all of them, as before. The per-build
lists for the build pool, framework setup, static library combining
and xcframework creation are now driven by a single build_spec
lookup instead of four hardcoded (partially commented-out) lists.
release.yml builds only macos and ios-device to cut the build time.
Assisted-by: pi:llama.cpp/Qwen3.8-27B
* ci : allow make-release to target a specific commit
The make-release workflow now accepts an optional 'commit' input. When
set, that commit is checked out and the release checks verify that it
belongs to the branch selected in the "Run workflow" dialog and is not
older than 3 days from the branch tip. The check is part of
make-release-checks.sh (driven by the RELEASE_BRANCH env), so it follows
the same dry-run semantics as the other checks.

This commit removes the incremental build number (versioning) support
that I added. This was incorrect and we should only use the semver for
the version. Releases will be tag a nightly build and package
maintainers/managers that build from source can use the tag and it is
therefor important that the correct version is reported. So a
nightly-build will report the semver without the build number. The build
number and commit as availble via cmake and test-cmake has been updated
to include an example of using them:
```console
$ ./build.sh
[test-cmake] version: 0.1.0, build: 10360 (08c69e381)

* Switch ROCm from 7.2.1 to 7.14
ROCm 7.14 is the first production release using TheRock build system.
It can be installed using multi-arch deliverables from wheels, debs,
rpms, tarballs or runfiles.
Adjust ROCm targets for Linux and Windows to use this instead.
* ci: switch all other Windows ROCm jobs to ROCm 7.14 wheels
Move the shared windows-setup-rocm composite action from the HIP SDK PRO
Edition installer to the multi-arch ROCm wheels (rocm[libraries,devel]).
The wheel-install logic that previously lived inline in release.yml is now
in the shared action, and both build-cache.yml and release.yml call it.
Also migrate the build-cuda-windows.yml hip job to the same wheel-based
layout (cache path/key, rocm-sdk environment setup, llvm/bin compiler
paths) so it keeps working after the action's contract changed; drop its
now-unused ROCm 7.2.1 rocWMMA download and stale include path.
* ci: Add support for CUDA 13.4 ARM64 builds for Windows
Added an architecture-specific CUDA 13.4 Windows build entry targeting ARM64.
Added a CMake configuration to enable ARM64 CUDA cross-compilation from an x64 Windows environment using the x64-hosted CUDA and MSVC toolchain while linking against the ARM64 CUDA import libraries to produce ggml-cuda.dll.
Validated the self-hosted Windows x64 workflow, including toolkit acquisition, CMake configuration, ARM64 CUDA cross-compilation, and packaging. Runtime validation was performed separately on a native ARM64 RTX Spark system using TinyLlama 1.1B Q4_K_M to verify the generated binaries.
The ARM64 CUDA job builds only the ggml-cuda.dll backend (LLAMA_BUILD_SERVER=OFF). The release consists of two packages: the main ARM64 release package, which combines the existing ARM64 CPU outputs with ggml-cuda.dll, and a separate runtime package containing the required CUDA runtime libraries (cudart64_13.dll, cublas64_13.dll, and cublasLt64_13.dll).
The CUDA 13.4 setup uses NVIDIA Developer Preview component archives instead of the GA component downloads used by the existing CUDA setups and will require updates once CUDA 13.4 reaches GA.
* ci: cleans up to align with x64 CUDA setup
- Moves CUDA-specific CMake options into matrix defines.
- Keeps the CUB 3DOT2 option only for CUDA 12.4.
- Removes runtime argument construction and the unnecessary server option.
- Aligns ARM64 CUDA runtime packaging with the existing robocopy approach.
- Generalizes the ARM64 release label from CUDA 13.4 to CUDA 13.
* ci: Set CUDA job name as version-architecture pair
* mark as preview

* CUDA: allow integrated-GPU host output buffer in debug assert
On integrated GPUs (APUs), the scheduler can legitimately place a graph
node's output on the host-visible buffer, which ggml_cuda_compute_forward
already handles. The debug assert in ggml_cuda_graph_evaluate_and_capture
required every node output to be on the device buffer, so a debug build
aborts on such a node (e.g. attn_residual ADD -> ROCm_Host on RDNA3.5).
The source-tensor assert directly below already permits this via the
integrated + cuda_host exception; apply the same exception to the node's
own output buffer. Debug-only; no effect on release/compute.
Fixes test-recurrent-state-rollback on gfx1151 (Strix Halo).
* ci: enable unified memory for ROCm gfx1151 job
Work around a coherence issue on integrated RDNA3.5 (gfx1151) where GPU
kernels reading mmap-loaded weights can return incorrect output, which
makes test-llama-archs (and real inference) intermittently wrong.
GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY=1 uses managed memory, which restores
coherence. Remove once the underlying ROCm/HIP issue is fixed.
* test-llama-archs: skip jamba on HIP backend
jamba produces incorrect output (~0.55 NMSE vs CPU) on the HIP backend on
RDNA3.5 (gfx1151); the SSM kernels need separate investigation. Skip it
for now, matching the existing per-backend carve-outs (WebGPU), so the
ROCm CI can run the test for the remaining architectures.
* ci: use HIP_LAUNCH_BLOCKING for ROCm gfx1151 job
The gfx1151 ROCm CI job produced incorrect inference output (qwen3 perplexity ~88 vs ~9.4) due to an async-execution correctness issue in the HIP path. Serializing kernel launches with HIP_LAUNCH_BLOCKING=1 restores correctness. This replaces the earlier GGML_CUDA_ENABLE_UNIFIED_MEMORY workaround, which did not fix batched inference.
* test-backend-sampler: skip top-k subtests on HIP backend
The ROCm backend does not support the TOP_K/ARGSORT op at vocab scale (no CUB; bitonic argsort is capped at ncols <= 1024), so top-k/top-p backend samplers cannot be offloaded. The penalties, set_sampler, mixed, and top_p subtests assert that offload happened, so they fail on HIP. Skip them until TOP_K is supported on the ROCm backend.
