* vocab : implement PLaMo-3 tokenizer pre-segmentation
The PLaMo-3 tokenizer inserts hard boundaries before running the Unigram
DP, around <|plamo:...|>-looking text, and around runs of at least 4
identical characters or 2 spaces. Without them llama.cpp tokenizes code
indentation and repeated punctuation differently from the reference.
Reproduce the two re.sub() passes in llm_tokenizer_plamo2 by encoding
each segment independently.
* add vocab type "plamo3"

* kv-cache: save exact KV rotation metadata, reject restoring mismatched rotation
* tests : move the state rotation test to test-save-load-state
the test is now part of the save/load test matrix and runs against
every model under test, like the rest of the suite
it probes the KV cache type combinations supported by the model and
treats models that do not use attention rotation as passing vacuously

* server : allow splitting RANK pooling for causal LLM rerankers
Rerank models fall into two categories: bidirectional cross-encoders
(BERT, etc.) that require all tokens in a single physical batch, and
causal LLMs repurposed as rerankers (Qwen3, Qwen3-VL) that can use
chunked prefill like any other decoder.
Previously the server rejected all RANK-pooling inputs larger than
n_ubatch, and the graph builder hardcoded QWEN3/QWEN3VL arch checks to
determine last-token pooling. This broke long-document and multimodal
reranking for causal models.
Fix: expose llama_get_causal_attn(ctx) so the server can check the
effective runtime attention type (reflecting any --attention override
or set_causal_attn call). Also expose llama_model_is_causal(model)
for querying the static architectural property from GGUF metadata.
can_split() now permits chunked prefill for RANK pooling when the
context is causal. The graph builder's inline arch check is replaced
with the same cparams.causal_attn predicate, removing the duplication.

* gguf : align the data section relative to the GGUF start, not the file
gguf_init_from_file_ptr reads a GGUF from the current file position, but padded
the data section from file offset 0, so a GGUF embedded at an offset that is not
a multiple of the alignment loaded without error and returned wrong tensor data.
Also adds llama_adapter_lora_init_from_file_ptr, and disables mmap with a warning
when an embedded data section is not aligned, instead of asserting in ggml.

troubleshoot issues.
* ci : merge scripts into single script
* remove -dev-build_number support
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)

* Resolve -1 to 1024 instead of ctx-len for samplers
Because of backend-sampling we initialize samplers before the complete
llama_context is there. Therefore, we cannot infer the resolved context
length yet at the time we construct the samplers.
* Shared default of 64 for history-based samplers, remove context_size
* sampling: enhance penalty handling in common_sampler_init
- Set default value for penalty_last_n based on model context if not specified.
- Ensure penalty_last_n and n_prev are non-negative.
- Update llama_sampler_penalties structure to inherit from llama_sampler_backend and add backend input handling for penalties.
- Implement backend initialization and application logic for penalties, including frequency and presence adjustments.
* tests: add backend penalties sampling tests and utility functions
- Introduced `accept_prompt` and `unique_prompt_tokens` functions to handle prompt acceptance and token uniqueness.
- Implemented `compare_penalties_logits` to compare logits from backend and CPU samplers with penalties.
- Added `test_backend_penalties_sampling` to validate backend penalties with various configurations.
- Enhanced the test suite for better coverage of penalty handling in sampling.
* sampling: add support for top-k penalties in backend sampling
* sampling: add fix to ensure stable numerical results. Preserve masked logits as -Inf and no longer generate NaN.
* sampling: enhance penalty comparison tests with masking penalties logic
* add comments on padding
* sampling: add comments on modifications
* add the unit test to cover masked-out token as -INF
* validate repeat penalty to ensure it is finite and greater than 0; add tests for invalid values
* refactor: test functions to share logic and be less verbose
* add test to cover case where previously penalized token is not part of candidates
* remove comments
* remove redundant penalty_last_n initialization and validation in common_sampler_init
* add support for penalties in sampler chain with configurable positions
* add validation for penalty parameters and enhance tests for non-finite values
* add context parameter to common_sampler_init and set default for penalty_last_n
* add llama_n_ctx parameter to common_sampler_init for improved sampler initialization
* replace penalty_last_n x n_candidates comparison matrix with a vocabulary-sized count tensor
* add tests for backend penalties sampling without filler entries , token_count.size() == n_active == n_max == 64
* add test for backend penalties sampling after top-p with large history window
* remove as unused
* add is_disabled method, tensor logits reshape, add rest review suggestions

* WIP: add NVFP4 quantization support

* vulkan : fix NVFP4 shader compilation by including kvalues_mxfp4 lookup table
* vulcal and perf fixes
* wip
* Fix metal
* fix vulcan
* Rename threshold & fix wrong scale
* Fix MOE
* Shelf backend implementations (CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, arch-specific SIMD)
Remove NVFP4 support from GPU backends and architecture-specific
optimized dot products. These should be added in separate PRs so
backend specialists can review them independently.
Reverted files:
- ggml-cuda: common.cuh, convert.cu, mmq.cu/cuh, mmvq.cu, vecdotq.cuh,
quantize.cu/cuh, mma.cuh, ggml-cuda.cu, fattn-tile.cuh
- ggml-metal: ggml-metal.metal, ggml-metal-device.cpp, ggml-metal-impl.h,
ggml-metal-ops.cpp
- ggml-vulkan: ggml-vulkan.cpp, all vulkan-shaders/*
- ggml-cpu arch: arm/quants.c, x86/quants.c, powerpc/quants.c, s390/quants.c
Core NVFP4 support (type definition, CPU fallback dot product,
quantization, dequantization, conversion) is retained.
* Fix arch-fallback.h: add NVFP4 generic fallback for all platforms
After shelving backend-specific SIMD implementations, the generic
CPU dot product needs to be aliased on ARM, x86, PowerPC, and s390
platforms that previously relied on arch-specific versions.
* quantize: add NVFP4 as a quantization type option
* Fix ggml_fp32_to_ue4m3: handle subnormal values
Previously, values with ue4m3_exp <= 0 were clamped to 0, causing
all small scales to underflow. This made NVFP4 quantization via
llama-quantize produce garbage (PPL = 5.8M) since typical transformer
weights have amax/6.0 in the range 0.001-0.01, which falls in the
UE4M3 subnormal range.
Now subnormals are properly encoded as man * 2^-9 (exp=0, man=1..7),
matching the decode path in ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32.
Result: NVFP4 requantization now produces PPL = 15.25 (vs F16 = 14.33),
comparable to Q4_1 (PPL = 15.81) at slightly lower BPW (4.70 vs 5.15).
* Restore ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product implementation
Restores the optimized ggml_vec_dot_nvfp4_q8_0 for ARM NEON using
vqtbl1q_s8 lookup and ggml_vdotq_s32 dot products.
tg128 performance: 4.37 t/s (generic) -> 13.66 t/s (NEON) = 3.1x speedup
* Optimize ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product: LUT + vpaddq + vfmaq
- Add ue4m3_scale_lut[128] to ggml-common.h replacing branch-heavy
ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32() in the hot loop
- Use vpaddq_s32 for pairwise int32 reduction instead of vaddvq_s32
- Accumulate with vfmaq_f32 into float32x4_t vector accumulators
tg128: 8.1 -> 31.0 t/s (3.8x speedup, 77% of Q4_1 speed)
* ARM NEON NVFP4: rearrange q8 to match nibble layout
Alternative approach: rearrange q8 data to match the NVFP4 lo/hi
nibble layout instead of rearranging the looked-up NVFP4 values.
Eliminates vcombine_s8(vget_low, vget_low) shuffles.
Performance is equivalent (~18.5 t/s) - the bottleneck is the 2x
block overhead from QK=16 vs QK=32, not the shuffle instructions.
* CPU only backend 64 super-block layout
* cleanup
* Remove unused LUT
* int
* exclude NVFP4 from unsupported ops in metal build
* remove quantization for now
* store scales as native UE4M3, preserve original model bits when possible
