Xuan-Son Nguyen 160bd031b2 server: fix LRU hang on multiple requests same model (#28539)
* server: fix LRU hang on multiple requests same model

* server: keep a queued model out of the victim pool until its waiters leave

A waiter that gave up while its model was still loading left the
model idle with no request behind it, and nothing recounted the free
slots, so a second request queued behind it stayed queued forever.
tick() was only driven by requests: join, claim and the end of a
proxied request.

Keep the queue entry alive after a successful claim so the model
coming up is never picked as a victim before its waiters use it, and
recount the slots on every status change and whenever a waiter
abandons the queue. The model is then evicted as soon as it comes up
with nobody left to serve.

Quick start

A few options to get llama.cpp installed on your machine:

Once installed:

# Download and run a model directly from Hugging Face
llama cli -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF

# Launch OpenAI-compatible API server
llama serve -hf ggml-org/Qwen3.5-0.8B-GGUF
VLM session with `llama cli` VLM session with llama cli Built-in web UI against `llama serve` running Qwen 3.6 Built-in web UI against llama serve

Description

The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.

  • Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
  • Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
  • AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
  • RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
  • 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
  • Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
  • Vulkan and SYCL backend support
  • CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity

The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
