llama_memory_hybrid_idx forwarded clear, seq_rm, seq_cp, seq_keep, seq_add and seq_div to the indexer cache but not state_write / state_read, so a saved session dropped the indexer keys and a restored one selected QSA top-k against an empty cache. The effect is invisible until the context passes indexer_top_k + compress_ratio - 1 cells, because QSA is exactly dense below that and the indexer contents cannot change the result. The indexer section is written last rather than next to the attention cache it mirrors. As a suffix, a reader that does not expect it stops early and the trailing bytes are caught by the size check in state_load_file; placed between the attention and recurrent sections it would instead be parsed as recurrent state, which can succeed and restore silent garbage. It follows the same LLAMA_STATE_SEQ_FLAGS_PARTIAL_ONLY gate as the attention cache, since a partial checkpoint deliberately skips the token-level attention caches. The indexer restores its own cells instead of taking the attention cache's restored slots. The two caches share size, padding and every sequence operation, and init_batch hands the indexer the attention cache's slot infos, so both state_read_meta calls run find_slot over identical occupancy and land on identical cells. The overrides live on llama_memory_hybrid_idx, the only memory type that owns an indexer cache, so llama_memory_hybrid and every architecture that uses it write and read exactly the bytes they did before. The session and sequence state versions are bumped because the qwen4exp state layout changed. The session path already rejects a short read via its size check, but llama_state_seq_load_file accepts one silently, so only the version check stops a pre-fix blob from being half-restored by a fixed build.

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.
