Daniel Han bf5396021e qwen4exp: give the PLE conv history its own mirrored recurrent row
n_embd_r() reserved n_conv + ple_conv_state() so that one cache_r_l row could
carry both the delta-net conv state and the PLE dilated conv history, but the
QWEN4EXP arm of get_split_segments only described n_conv. Under -sm tensor the
segment sum came up short by ple_conv_state() and llama_memory_recurrent
construction aborted in ggml_backend_meta_alloc_ctx_tensors_from_buft.

Widening the segment list is not the fix. The Meta backend propagates a view's
split descriptor from its parent unchanged, so a view of one sub-range of a
split axis is sized as the whole row on every device; declaring the PLE tail as
a second segment merely moves the abort to "shape mismatch for VIEW" at graph
allocation. The two histories also want opposite policies: the delta-net state
is split by head to match wqkv and ssm_conv1d, while per_layer_tok_embd,
ple_conv1d and ple_norm_conv are all mirrored, so every device computes the
whole dilated conv and needs the whole history. One tensor cannot be both, and
the split state has no per-segment mirroring.

Move the PLE history into its own cache_ple_r_l%d row, mark it MIRRORED, and
return n_embd_r() to n_conv. The row is allocated only on layers where is_ple
holds, so mirroring one 92160-element row per device replaces a 92160-element
tail on all 36 recurrent rows: the recurrent R footprint drops rather than
grows. build_conv_state_at now takes its width from the tensor it was handed
and keys its gather on that tensor, which also drops a cont of a strided view.

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

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.
