Georgi Gerganov 6666a7330c tests : fix multi-seq split replay and partial-state cases for trained models (#31216)
* tests : fix multi-seq split replay against trained models

The rollback snapshot is captured by the graph that decoded the rolled-back
tail, while the reference context decodes the same prefix with different
batch shapes. The two states differ in the last bits and trained models
amplify the difference with every replayed token. Compare only the first
replayed token of each seq, then restore the rollback state into the
reference context before the seq-1-only tail.

* tests : require bit-exact seq-1 isolation in split replay

The seq state save is not always bit-lossless - SWA-masked cells are not
saved - so reload the restored state back into the rollback context. That
way both contexts enter the seq-1-only tail with byte-identical memory,
including the cell layout, and the tail logits must match bit-exact. Also
assert that the restored state round-trips bit-identical.

* tests : drop the n_swa partial-state check from ps

The check keys off llama_model_n_swa(), which returns 0 for dsv4 even
though its raw KV cache has a 128-cell sliding window. The partial state
grows with the tokens there by design, so the flatness check is wrong.
Keep the partial <= full invariant.

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.
