* cuda : fuse MoE weighted reduction (mul + view + add) The MoE combine tail currently writes weighted expert outputs to global memory before reducing them. That intermediate global-memory traffic is the main cost. The production baseline generally runs two physical fused kernels; this path runs one. This change matches the full expert-weighting plus ordered-reduction subgraph and replaces it with one weighted-reduction kernel. Supported graphs: - unscaled: experts * router_weights - scaled: (experts * expert_scale) * router_weights k = 2..15 is handled by one runtime-k kernel. Matching is structural: op sequence, shapes, strides, expert views, and the left-to-right ADD chain. The fused kernel keeps that same reduction order. Results are not claimed bit-identical; CUDA FP32 contraction can change rounding slightly. Allocator integration uses add_alloc_dep from the graph-optimizer API so experts, router weights, and optional expert scales stay live until the fused destination is written. Memory ranges are rechecked before the fused kernel runs. Unrecognized or unsafe graphs are left alone and keep the existing per-op path. Set GGML_CUDA_MOE_WEIGHTED_REDUCTION=0 to disable the fusion. test-backend-ops covers scaled/unscaled, aligned/unaligned, and representative values across k=2..15, plus a k=16 case that must stay on the per-op path. * Pruned the test matrix from 15 to 6 * Addressed the aman and olivers review comments

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.
