* fit: also take into account n_streams * server: make the draft context follow the target context With a non-unified KV cache the target context now holds n_ctx_train tokens per sequence, while the draft context was still created with n_ctx = 0 and fell back to n_ctx_train / n_streams per sequence. A slot filled beyond that point makes the draft batch fail to decode, and the server answers 500 on the request. The draft context now takes its size from the target context, so both hold the same number of tokens per sequence. Contexts that share their cells with the target no longer need the kv_size override. The memory reserved for the draft model before fitting is measured at the largest context the target can take, since the draft context grows with the target and a fixed byte margin cannot express that. * fit: take an optional second model into account Illustrates the alternative discussed on the draft context fix. The memory of a draft or MTP context is currently handed to the fit as a fixed byte margin, which cannot express a memory that grows with the context the fit is still deciding on. common_fit_params now takes an optional second model that shares the devices of the main one. Its context follows the main context and its memory is measured again whenever that context changes, so the reduce path stays exact instead of conservative. A model that cannot be measured on its own, such as a shared cell MTP context, is skipped with a warning and the main model is fitted alone. This drops the reservation block in the server, which no longer has to probe the trained context size of the target to guess an upper bound. --------- Co-authored-by: Pascal <admin@serveurperso.com>

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.
