Currently, if a model uses an interface for its data structures (as mllama
does) then the tensor data in the structs implementing that interface will
not get loaded.
There are two cases where we may not have an output after computing:
- Prompt processing where the length of the input exceeds the batch
size
- Internal memory management operations such as cache defrag and shift
feat: add new Ollama engine using ggml through cgo
This change introduces a new way to run pretrained models. It introduces 3 high level interfaces and a bunch of smaller helper interfaces to facilitate this.
- `model.Model` defines the interface for a model architecture. Models such as `llama` and `mllama`, which are provided as examples, can implement the model's forward propagation in the `Forward` method. This method will be called to generate completions. This interface can be found in `model/model.go`
- `ml.Backend` defines the interface for a backend tensor library, in this case `ggml`. Among other things, a Backend is responsible for loading a pretrained model into hardware (GPU, CPU, etc) and providing an interface for Models to access loaded tensors. This interface can be found in `ml/backend.go`
- `ml.Tensor` defines the interface for a tensor and tensor operations
This is the first implementation of the new engine. Follow up PRs will implement more features:
- non-greedy sampling (#8410)
- integration with Ollama and KV caching (#8301)
- more model support (#9080) with more coming soon
