b9acf138a1 feat: add GLM5Next MTP, optimize (#29928)
* llama : add GLM5-Next NextN (MTP) graph

Build the GLM5-Next multi-token-prediction head as graph_mtp: the NextN block
embeds enorm(tok)+hnorm(h) through eh_proj, runs one plain DSA layer and the
shared lm_head, reusing the trunk's builders through the no_build tag ctor.
llama_memory_recurrent also tolerates a partial seq_rm when the context holds
no recurrent layers, which is what the MTP draft context needs.

* llama : glm5-next: skip dead compute in headless NextN forwards

A NextN forward with no output rows (the MTP catch-up and the draft-context
prefill) persists only through its cache writes, so the headless graph keeps
the MLA latent, indexer key|gate and pooled-key writes and drops the query
path, the indexer selection, the attention body, the FFN and the LM head. The
4-token catch-up falls from 6.9 ms to 0.33 ms of kernels; the greedy output
hashes and the draft acceptance are unchanged.

* llama : glm5-next: fix NextN extraction contracts and shared-tail rollback

Three fixes from the architectural review. The headless graph prune now also
requires that no unmasked nextn extraction is live, because that mode reads
n_tokens hidden rows regardless of the logits flags. Masked extraction
publishes the hidden rows gathered by the output ids, so a batch whose output
flags are not a prefix exports the right rows. A partial recurrent rollback
whose tail cell is shared with another sequence is now rejected instead of
silently moving that sequence's tail.

* llama : glm5-next: crop the MTP graph to the output rows instead of pruning it

Replace the headless NextN prune with the crop pattern the other MTP
graphs use: gather the attention output and the block input at the
output ids before the position-wise FFN and the shared head. A NextN
forward with no output rows (the MTP catch-up and the draft-context
prefill) then runs the FFN and the head over zero rows. The 4-token
catch-up falls from 6.9 ms to 2.9 ms of kernels; greedy output hashes
are unchanged.

* glm5-next: use the nextn crop helpers in the MTP graph

Replace the local crop condition and the masked select of t_h_nextn
with crop_before_nextn and crop_after_nextn, so the MTP graph narrows
its rows the same way as the main graph and the other models.

Describe the shared cell and empty filter branches of the recurrent
partial rollback.

* glm5-next: load MTP-only and trunk-only GGUF files

Make the trunk tensors optional when the file only holds the NextN
layer, and the NextN tensors optional when the file only holds the
trunk, so the split MTP GGUF loads as a draft model.

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.
