At least make your own, anon...
>>108546016
It does for every model that uses kvcache, but for kv cache only, not for swa yet. It's in the works. Not sure about ssm/rnn models.

>>108546001
A common value in kv cache is [0.01 0.002 0.0 0.005 0.0 0.99999999 0.0]. Rotating the kv cache turns that into [0.1123 0.745 0.24123 ... 0.845] and that quantizes better.

Don't know what everyone's problem with Piotr is. Sure he uses AI but there's no argument that my contributions to llama.cpp are substnatial.

>>108546033
terrible bait, apply yourself

>>108544256
Yeah, huh, it took awhile to download the 26B MoE, but I was able to just squeeze it in at Q4_K. Somehow it's a better draft model than the E4B:

       eval time =   36319.64 ms /  2121 tokens (   17.12 ms per token,    58.40 tokens per second)
      total time =   43321.70 ms / 14668 tokens
draft acceptance rate = 0.76150 ( 1622 accepted /  2130 generated)
statistics draft: #calls(b,g,a) = 1 498 412, #gen drafts = 498, #acc drafts = 412, #gen tokens = 2130, #acc tokens = 1622, dur(b,g,a) = 0.002, 18034.705, 0.757 ms
slot      release: id  0 | task 1785 | stop processing: n_tokens = 14667, truncated = 0

This shit is wild.

yeah I am going to have to, I'll probably wait for a specific heretic or uncensored unless you know which is best. Nobody has given specifics in lmg yet and the models are like a day old anyway.

I am doing this to name and shame this retard for being so incapable he can't even write this kind of oneline fix by himself, with no agent help, not because I want to push the fix
I'll PR this and other fixes on the day they remove his rights to contribute and ban him for good. Which, looking at the way cudadev spoke of him on this thread, seems like it would never happen.

>>108546107
Try llmfan46's ggufs. They've worked for me, though I'm manually supplying my chat template.

>>108546109
I think the larger context window nerfs the performance, using n_ctx << n_ctx_train lets the attention kernel optimize out a bunch of multiplies.

I said it before, anon. Make him look bad. Point at his commit, say "This change broke --grammar. This PR fixes it."
If you make a PR, the chances of it being fixed increase. I don't know if there's a PR for it already. If there isn't, then nobody noticed or cared. You do. You should make the PR. If he breaks it again, you fix it.

>Make him look bad
the PR that replaced the autoparser so that Gemma can actually work properly should have made him look bad aplenty in itself, he's not the sort that can be affected in such a way
the only proper thing is a ban
>If you make a PR, the chances of it being fixed increase
it's fixed for me, it's on my local git branch which I rebase on top of master every once in a while.
>If he breaks it again, you fix it.
I meant other things when I say he keeps breaking shit, hopefully even if he's a retard he won't break the same simple thing 10 times in a row
the point being I'll do it for myself but fuck letting him get away with mistakes by brushing them under the carpet in contributing fixes
if anything I want llama.cpp to become a more broken shit, enough that people will name and shame the project on social media and shit on them until they feel that maybe, banning piotr is a good idea.

Do you also need someone to tell you what to write in the title and description fields or can we trust that you know how to ask an AI to write that for you?

gemma E2B and E4B are legitimately better model for low end/edge/smartphones, I tried their fork of llama.cpp to run the model and all I found was a meme

What front end supports video upload? SillyTavern doesn't appear to work for video.

>>108546211
I can write those myself. I honestly don't know what problem is fixed by this code. I saw it posted a few times already but I never looked, and in this thread it just quotes OP without context.

>>108546215
If your model can't code its own frontend you need a better model.

>>108546183

>fuck letting him get away with mistakes
You're doing it right now. You're jannying in your room instead of jannying out there in the world.
>banning piotr is a good idea
No merge rights is a good start. He obviously cannot be trusted.
I'll continue suggesting you make the PR. See you next time, grammar anon.

>>108546217
it's a fix for the --grammar, --grammar-file, --json-schema, --json-schema-file flags, whose content was simple not read at all by the server-task code since
https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/commit/5e54d51b199ad2d70cf6eba4bff756bbf63366a6
it's typical of what happens when you tell an ai agent to do something without fully explaining what the original code did. the agent added his tool call refactor, preserved the json API call parsing but has no fucking idea defaults.sampling.grammar isn't just a "default" but also the place that captures the content of files read by the CLI.
this is what happens when you're a vibeshitter.

It doesn't cause anyone problems, that's why Anon has been the only one bothered it. It's a feature that literally no one uses except him, and he's too lazy to upstream his fix (or perhaps not lazy, he just wants to keep ritualposting about it).

I have good news to report. When Gemma 4 released and it was initially supported in Llama.cpp, I ran it on a test set which included an image of Teto eating bread. It failed and said it was Kizuna AI. After seeing this post >>108543491
, I decided to rerun the Teto prompt on a new build today, AND GEMMA ACED IT. So despite seemingly working well in the beginning, it really still didn't achieve its full potential. The same ggufs were used so it couldn't have been those, it was Llama.cpp's issue. We are so back. I think will we rerun my entire test set on another date just in case there are more fixes to be had.

>>108546269
there is nothing wrong with that PR and Ki-Kolan is another retard trying to measure things he doesn't understand how to measure.
<bos> MUST be present and that PR doesn't even change the behavior of anything in chat completion this is just so that people who use the raw text completion API don't have to insert <bos> manually in their calls.

Gemma 4 is surprisingly great at characterization.

Nala, powered by Gemma 4, just found a new zero day in the linux kernel and patched it on my machine. She then claimed me as her jungle concubine. It didn't even mess up the anatomy/positioning from the initial prompt like every other model I've tried.

>>108546420
>>108546274
So I played with it for a bit and using Hadamard matrix instead of a random matrix is just a little bit better. Most of the benefit comes from choosing a better input example.

Total MSE after 10000 runs:
No rotation: 418.5397679332047
Random rotated matrix: 158.58042732118395
Hadamard: 150.47215293399347

>>108546461
Gemma 3 was as well
4 Really just feels like 3 but less safetyslopped and a little bit smarter

>>108546490
Doesn't fucking feel a little bit smarter, it feels a lot smarter, gemma 3 was nothing unusual.

>>108546420
To be honest, what Google is doing is over my head. It is using random rotations, but they also use some non-uniform codebook something or other. You'd best ask an AI.

For llama.cpp they do precompute a fixed hadamard transformation matrix, at a glance through the code.

>>108546473
So I assume whatever Google's doing gives it the slight boost it needs to make it better than Hadamard.

>>108546499
>gemma 3 was nothing unusual.

The main thing required for llama-perplexity to give low values with Gemma-4-instruct is the presence of properly arranged turn tokens in the test file and specifically the test chunks. BOS doesn't make that much of a difference.

I wonder if any currently available models integrate the conclusions of the paper "Code vs. Serialized AST Inputs for LLM-Based Code Summarizaiton: An Empircal Study" by Dong, Zhao and Harvey. https://arxiv.org/html/2602.06671v1

Appearantly that can be done via fine tuning using single GPU NVIDA A6000 with 48 GB VRAM. This is achievable by private citizen, one could rent out such a GPU and fine tune models accordingly. Should improve llm performance significantly for code summarization tasks...in Python at least, with AST(NIT)

>>108546473
Hadamard also appears to work at much lower dimensions, where as random takes several hundred minimum to start working well.

>>108546679
Well, my example had it working for 8 floats in a 1d vector...

>>108546606
They did. pwilkin confirmed the talked to him to ensure compatibility.

>>108546656
Wrong. BOS gives HUGE difference. You don't see it because llama.cpp made it to be force inserted for all text completions requests now, so when add it you are adding a second one. Before, missing it killed even the base model.

>>108546681
Really? What distribution were your vectors sampled from? I have terrible reconstructions until over 100 dims on this dist (something vaguely LLM activation like):

x = np.random.randn(100).astype(np.float32) * 0.01
x[0] = 0.98

Did you find a way to not make your kuuderes speak like they're computers? I can't wrangle Gemma out of using "computer speech". Everything has to be "efficient", "a variable" and "sensory inputs". Hated this variety of slop in other models too.

>>108546752
I mean, perplexity is great and all, but the model would fundamentally fail to generate coherent text. It would just output gibberish without having the symbol at the start. Maybe it was a symptom of something else, but it wouldn't function as a language model without it.

>>108546709
Ahh, sum of means, that makes more sense. Looks like the two methods converge somewhere around 1024 dimensions, and then random starts to noticeably surpass Hadamard around 2048 or so. Neat.

Gemma-4-it just doesn't work in plain text completion model regardless of <bos>; it wants chat tokens in a more or less correct arrangement.

Google must have post-trained the model(s) with several trillions of tokens of instruct data for it to behave like this. Something very unusual is going on and that might be why they've not released the technical report yet. I hope we'll get one together with a dense model around 12-14B parameters and the 124B MoE after Google I/O 2026 in May.

It's simple. If Gemma had used MTP, then ggerganov would've commanded his army of devs to relentlessly implement that along with all the other Gemma4 features that they've been working on.
Google knew that this would benefit the Chinese models more than it would do them. That's why they scrapped it because this way MTP can stay something llama.cpp does not care about despite every remotely major chinese release having it for free speed gains.

Yes, that's what we've been doing for a year now since Deepseek R1 released featuring MTP. Somebody tried to vibecode an implementation, then it died. Then GLM4.5 dropped and somebody else attempted to vibecode it. Then it died again.
Then some other MTP models dropped, somebody else tried and those attempts died too.
