Max Krasnyansky 643b0cdacb hexagon: Op Fusion refactoring, optimizations and new fusions like BINARY_NX (back-to-back ADDs, etc) (#30843)
* hex-fusion: support for GELU+MUL, REPEAT+GET_ROWS and BINARY_NX (back-to-back ADD/MUL/...)

* hex-fusion: factor out fusion logic into separate .h and .cpp and update all related code

* hex-fusion: streamline fusion eligibility checks and cover missing corner cases

* hex-fusion: streamline fusion flow

* hex-opbatch: make n_tensors limit more scalable

* hex-bufs: adjust the trace buff sizing

* hex-glu: cleanup glu-ops interfaces and add kernel_params

* hex-kparams: clean up kparams handling in unary, ssm-conv, and other ops

* hex-kparams: update the rest of the ops PAD,DIAG,... to use kparams

* hex-kparams: refactor kparams into htp-kparams.h/cpp

* hex-fusion: fix binary-nx fusion regression

* hex-kparams: another pass at cleaning up kparams (removing unused, etc)

* hex-kparams: streamling nameing and move _check_ wrappers into .h

* hex-kparams: templetize htp_kparams_check_<op> to reduce code bloat

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.
