* Fix Qwen3 tool call parsing - pass model name to parser
Server was not passing model name to parse_chat_message_incremental(),
causing Qwen3 to fall back to Kimi-K2 parser and return tool calls
as content instead of proper tool_calls array.
* Fix non-streaming path to use model-specific parsing
Non-streaming responses were hardcoded to use Kimi-K2 format,
causing Qwen3 XML tool calls to be returned as content instead
of proper tool_calls array. Now uses same model detection as
streaming path for consistency.
* Update Qwen3 function call handling in server and tests
- Enhanced server function call detection and response formatting
- Improved test coverage for Qwen3 tool call scenarios
- Refined XML parsing for better tool execution support
* Add DeepSeek-R1 function call parsing support
Implements comprehensive parsing for all 4 DeepSeek-R1 function call formats:
- Format 1: Standard function call syntax (already supported)
- Format 2: Alternative function call patterns (already supported)
- Format 3: Tools array format - function\n```json\n{"tools": [...]}
- Format 4: XML wrapped format - <tool_call>function</think>Name\n```json\n{...}```</tool_call>
Key changes:
- Added parse_deepseek_r1_tools_array() following original parse_prefixed_json_tool_call_array pattern
- Added parse_deepseek_r1_xml_wrapped() following Hermes-2-Pro XML wrapper patterns
- Integrated both parsers into exception handling chain for robust fallback
- Added comprehensive TDD test coverage for all formats
- Anonymized all confidential information while preserving functionality
Resolves tool_calls_count=0 issue where DeepSeek-R1 models generated valid tool calls
but server failed to parse them correctly.
* Update function_calls.md documentation for DeepSeek-R1 Format 4
- Added Format 4 (XML wrapped) documentation with examples
- Updated implementation notes with correct parser order (3→4→1→2)
- Marked all DeepSeek-R1 formats as working (July 2025 update)
- Updated test status for Format 3 and 4 as passing
- Added parse_deepseek_r1_xml_wrapped() function reference
- Corrected implementation file line numbers
* Fix merge conflict in test-function-calls.cpp
- Removed incomplete merge conflict marker from line 3027
- Ensured all tests compile and pass successfully
- All DeepSeek-R1 formats (1-4) working correctly
- All streaming and content cleaning tests passing
* Fix DeepSeek R1 parsing issue with responses wrapped in think tags
Restore missing consume_rest() call from working PR #648 implementation.
When responses don't contain tool calls, remaining content after reasoning
parsing must be preserved as displayable content.
Fixes issue where entire responses wrapped in <think> tags resulted in
empty content output.
* Implement proper reasoning handling following original llama.cpp patterns
- Add missing reasoning_format and reasoning_in_content fields to common_chat_syntax
- Update try_parse_reasoning to match original llama.cpp logic exactly
- Add TDD test case with reasoning_in_content=true for DeepSeek R1
- Following TDD: test should now pass with proper syntax configuration
Based on original llama.cpp implementation patterns.
* TDD SUCCESS: Fix DeepSeek R1 thinking tag termination issue
✅ Test passes with reasoning_in_content=true configuration
- Content properly preserved: '<think>content</think>' displays fully
- Reasoning field empty as expected
- Following TDD: test-first approach validates the fix
Next: Update server to automatically apply this configuration.
* Complete server integration fix for DeepSeek R1 thinking tag termination
- Server now automatically sets reasoning_in_content=true for DeepSeek R1 models
- Fixes issue where responses wrapped in <think> tags appear empty to users
* Add TDD test case for DeepSeek R1 thinking tag termination issue
- Test reproduces the exact failure scenario reported by user
- Validates that reasoning_in_content=true fixes the issue
- Demonstrates empty content problem and working solution
* Add remaining TDD test changes for DeepSeek R1 thinking tag fix
* Add debug output after upstream merge
* Remove temporary benchmark and debug files
- Remove tests/benchmark-progressive-parsing.cpp (development tool, not part of core functionality)

* soft_cap_max: initial CPU version of fused softcap + soft_max
With this vanilla CPU implementation I'm already getting a ~3% speedup
for Gemma-2-9b and a prompt of 8192 tokens.
* soft_cap_max: WIP - something is wrong with CUDA
* soft_cap_max: looks good on CPU and CUDA
* Add softcap to flash attention
Just CPU and CUDA for now (but, as we know, flash attention
on the CPU is useless in llama.cpp).
On CUDA this improves PP performance quite a bit, especially for
long contexts. E.g., for PP-16384, I now get 3777 t/s.
Without this change, one cannot use FA, and one gets 2300 t/s
(after fusing softcap and softmax), or 2000 t/s without the
fused softcap+softmax.
In comparison, mainline llama.cpp has PP-16384 = 1549 t/s before
PR-8542 (where Johannes Gaessler has also added softcap to FA),
and PP-16384 = 3097 t/s after this PR.

This encoding has the same number of exponent bits as float32. That
makes conversion relatively straightforward, even in the absence of
hardware support. For example, converting brain16 to binary32 means
simply shifting 16 bits to the left.

The issue is that converting bf16 to fp16 can result in information
loss. Only 13% of bf16 numbers can be precisely represented in fp16
which in practice ends up being 99.71% of Mistral 7b v0.2's weights
however there is currently no way other than fp32 to get the others

This change fixes that, by adding a bf16 data type to GGML. Support
for CPU inference has been implemented along with optimizations for
the AVX2, AVX512, and AVX512BF16 ISAs. Perplexity on Mistral 7b 0.2
improves somewhere around -0.0024 to -0.0046 compared to using fp16
