The PLE depthwise conv was zero-padding on the left, which is only right for a prefill that starts at position 0. Decode and chunked prefill saw a truncated history for the first (kernel-1)*ngram_size positions of every ubatch. The PLE module sits on a layer that is also a delta-net layer, so both need a conv history in the same recurrent row. Rather than plumb a per-layer state size through build_rs and build_conv_state, the row is widened once and each convolution addresses its own slice through a local helper. n_embd_r() gains the extra span, which is zero for every other architecture because it is derived from ple_n_heads. Verified by feeding the same 1024 token sequence in chunks instead of one shot: at 64 tokens per decode the logits are bit-identical to the single-shot run, 1023 of 1023 top-1 and a maximum logprob deviation of exactly zero. At one token per decode they differ slightly, but the no-PLE model differs more under the same test (94.6% against 97.1%), so that is the usual gemv-versus- gemm accumulation difference and not the state. The conv branch is also no longer unverified. With non-zero conv weights the port sits 6.3 points of top-1 below the numerical floor, the same distance as with the weights zeroed and as the model with no PLE at all, so the branch adds no error of its own. test-llama-archs passes every existing architecture at 0.00e+00, including the delta-net models that share this code path.

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.
