* ci : apply ccache-clear with older/min/dry-run to all ccache jobs Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731 * 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 The install.sh script used previously is no longer served (404). Switch to the official GitHub CLI apt repository, which is still available. Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731 * 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. Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731 * 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. Assisted-by: llama.cpp:DeepSeek-v4-Flash-0731 * ci : remove unused apple ccaches

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.
