Georgi Gerganov 098ce526b5 metal : fix moe_reduce fusion race when dst aliases its inputs (#30795)
The fused moe_reduce kernel computes dst = sum(experts[e] * weights[e]) in a
single dispatch, reading experts and weights while writing dst. The graph
allocator computes tensor liveness on the unfused graph, where the inputs are
fully consumed by earlier nodes of the fused group, so it can legally recycle
the input memory as dst. In the fused kernel this becomes a
threadgroup-vs-threadgroup race that produces rare non-deterministic wrong
results (observed with test-llama-archs -a kolibri on the meta backend).

Reject the fusion when dst overlaps either input, same guard as the
mul_mat_add fusion. The unfused MUL + ADD path is always correct.

Quick start

A few options to get llama.cpp installed on your machine:

# curl
curl -LsSf https://llama.app/install.sh | sh

# powershell
irm https://llama.app/install.ps1 | iex

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.
