* Fix tool call for Qwen3.5
Loosely based on mainline changes from:
* https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/19635
* https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/19765
Also need to change the grammar to allow the model to make multiple
tool calls in a row. This was likely broken for Qwen3 Coder prior to
this commit.
* Fix the grammar for the subsequent parameters after the first one
* 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

* 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

- Update function signatures to follow most other samplers.

* adaptive-p: revert reordering function definitions
* WIP - not working
* WIP - not working
* WIP - GPT-OSS working
However, extremely stupid. The only way I could correctly repack the
up/gate experts is to copy up and gate into host buffers, repack
into another host buffer, copy back into the ffn_up_gate_exps tensor.
This is going to be very slow for giant 500 GB models.
My attempts to do this via a compute graph on the backend holding
the tensors was unsuccessful.
For GPT-OSS-20B I see ~6-7% better PP when using the original
ik_llama.cpp fused_up_gate CUDA implementation, and ~10% when
using the small batch size implementation.
Other models are not working yet on CUDA as I need to fix the
fused mul-unary implementation.
* WIP
* WIP - Qwen3-MoE (and hopefully all others) working
But when I say here and in the previous commit "working",
I mean PP is working. TG is still broken.

* WIP: GLM-4.5 graph works
* WIP: fix sm layer (dense)
* WIP: fix sm layer (MoE)
* WIP: fast PP with bespoke 4-GPU NCCL
I guess, I'm not using NCCL the right way as PP is very
low with a single communicator group for 3 or more GPUs.
But if I create 4 communicator groups for pairs of GPUs
(0,1, 2,3, 0,2, 1,3) and use that, PP is fast: I'm hitting
1500 t/s for L3-70B on the 4x3090 system, which is
~20% better than the previous sm graph without NCCL.
But that cannot be the solution (I cannot be creating pairwise
communicators and associated logic for every possible number of GPUs).
* WIP: Cohere2
* Explicitely set device
* Bespoke 3-GPU case
* WIP
* Do not repeat get_rows multiple times
* Fix 3 GPUs
* OK, let's leave it in
* Simple async
* This sync seems enough
* Only do async for 4 or more backends
With 2 GPUs (so, 3 backends) not using async is slightly faster
* Scheduler changes
* Use OpenMP if available
Surprisingly (at least to me), this is quite a bit faster than
std::thread and std::barrier. GLM-4.5-AIR with 4 GPUs is now
at 105 t/s at zero context!
* Do not use OpenMP if there are tensor overrides
* Set omp max active levels
* Be more careful with having set the device before using a stream
* Command line option to turn on async. Set to false by defualt for now

Use -smgs or --split-mode-graph-scheduling in CLI to bypass the disabling of split mode graph scheduling when tensor overrides is used.

* This should do the trick for PP
* Command line option to set max. extra VRAM that the scheduler can use
* Fix bug and cleanup
