* Disable K Hadamard transform if K-head size is not a power of 2
* Allow Hadamard transform for head sizes that are not power of 2
* Give more details why Hadamard is not possible
* Arghh
* Use build_std_attention for Gemma4 when possible
It is possible for the 26b MoE and 31b dense models.
It is not possible for the E4B/E2B vaiants because they
don't have KV cache in each layer.
* Standardize Gemma4 dense ffn
* WIP: Gemma4 split mode graph
Runs but produces NaNs
* WIP: Gemma4 split mode graph
Runs but very high PPL. At least it is no longer NaN.
* WIP
* This works!
* Put attn_norm, attn_post_norm, ffn_norm, ffn_post_norm on all GPUs
* Fix crash when saving/loading KV cache
* WIP: split mode graph for Gemma4-MoE - crashes
* Split mode graph for Gemma4-MoE - this works

Something goes wrong there

* Gemma4: WIP
It gives a meaningful response in llama-cli, but PPL is still much too
high. Is this due to tokenizer issues?
* Gemma4: this works
I had forgotten the softcap on the final output.

* Gemma4: Q4B/E2B appear to work now
* gemma4: tokenizer fixes
* wip: port MTP architecture
Ports the Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) architecture to the older `llama.cpp` codebase used by `ikllama`.
Changes include:
- Updating `llama_batch` to support `mtp_params`.
- Modifying `llama_decode_internal` (and `encode`) to handle MTP operations (Warmup, Update, Draft).
- Adding public APIs for MTP state management (`llama_set_draft_input_hidden_state`).
- Adapting the embedding extraction logic to skip MTP update passes.
* Refactors `server_slot` to support generic speculative decoding (MTP or Draft Model).
* core: enable hybrid outputs (logits + embeddings) for MTP support
* fix(mtp): correct KV-cache slot finding for updates
* fix(mtp): persist hidden states to prevent context corruption during drafting
* refactor(mtp): clean unused code
* fix(mtp): update server to new functions name
* fix(mtp): fix graph and save hidden state
* mtp: refactor integration, context params and kv cache search
* mtp: fix hidden state extraction and speculative acceptance flow
* server: fix MTP warmup for long prompts and reset token buffer
* llama: refactor MTP operation state to context parameters
* server: fix n_past calculation in MTP acceptance
* llama: fix mtp enable flags
* speculative: refactor MTP to use common_speculative interface
* context: remove unused signatures
* clip: fix deprecated enum-enum conversion warning
* common: fix format string crash in help message
* context: fix mtp activation logic
* llamat: always use the extracted embedding
* llama: get all embeddings to kv cache
* llama: revert logit to not run mtp for not supported arch
* llama: allocate all the n_outputs for MTP
* wip
* server-context: get only the last embedding for hidden state
* ggml-backend: fix array of bounds in debug build
* server-context: run mt kv update to each prompt batch
* revert segmentation fault fixes
* glm-mtp(feat): optimize graph embedding and recursive drafting
* server : support multi-modal context checkpoints and prompt caching
do not create checkpoint right after image processing
improve mtmd check for slot ops
fix context shift
do not abort if template parse failed
* change to debug message when detecting ban token

* Revert "Discard unnecessary changes in llama-build-context.cpp"
This reverts commit edadb80ed68c4c0831e9c22609a9a3af19be9735.
* Increase GGML_SCHED_MAX_SPLITS - required for larger u-batches
* Fix CPU concat in the TG case: 7.25 -> 10.5 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Fix CPU sum_rows: 10.5 -> 13.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
It was single-threaded and was taking ~25% of the computation time
during TG. It is now down to 2%.
Strangely enough, I measure 13.6 t/s with llama-bench, but if I
let the model give me an actual response with llama-cli, I get close
to 17 t/s.
* Fix CPU scale: 13.6 -> 16.7 t/s for Qwen3Next
For Qwen3Next there is a scale op on a largish tensor (548k elements)
that has a single row for TG, so was done in a single thread.
We now simply use blocks of 1024 elements.
* Optimize CPU mul: 16.7 -> 17.6 t/s for Qwen3Next
* CPU: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpos: 17.6 -> 23.1 t/s for Qwen3Next
* Optimize CPU repeat: 176 -> 200 t/s for Qwen3Next PP-512
* Multithreading for OP_SUB
* Don't commit with timing trace on
* Multithread neg and sigmoid
* Be able to turn on/off fusion more easily (CPU)
* Name the mul_mat ops so we know where the time goes
* WIP
* Much better PP on CUDA
* CUDA: fuse transpose -> cont -> sum_rows -> transpose
Needs non-coontiguous variant of sum_rows.
On the CPU this gave 30+% improvement in TG performance,
on CUDA ist is disapointing 6-7%. I guess, this is because
Georgi's cont CPU implementation was so bad that skipping
it made such a big difference.
* CUDA: faster mul for special case relevant for Qwen3Next
Worth 1% in TG
* Fix CPU OP_CONT
