Weight handling:
- new ModelStore2 supports both pre-2025 multi-file and single-file formats
- simpler ForEachTensor with TensorArgs
- tensors are constructed with their full suffixed name
I/O:
- support mmap and stride
- Simplified SbsWriter, single insert(); add SbsReader
Misc:
- kMockTokenizer: allow creating with unavailable tokenizer
- configs.h: Simpler enum validity checks via kSentinel
- matmul.h: remove unused enable_bind (now in allocator.h)
- tensor_info: single TensorInfoRegistry class, rename from tensor_index.h
Frontends:
- Replace Allocate/CreateGemma with ctor(LoaderArgs, MatMulEnv&)
- Deduce model/weight type, remove --model and parsing
- Replace most common.h includes with configs.h
- Remove --compressed_weights, use --weights instead
- Remove ModelInfo, replaced by ModelConfig.
Backprop:
- Reduce max loss, remove backward_scalar_test (timeout)
- Update thresholds because new RandInit changes rng eval order and thus numerics

use new ThreadingContext2 instead of monostate/init in each frontend
Add ThreadingArgs(replaces AppArgs)
backprop: use Packed() accessor and MakePacked factory and row-based access to allow for stride
compress_weights: remove, moving to py-only exporter instead
Move MatPtr to mat.h and revise interface:
- Generic MatOwner
- rename accessors to Packed*
- support stride/row accessors, fix RowPtr stride
Add TypeBits(Type)
Move GenerateMat to test_util-inl for sharing between matmul test/bench
Move internal init to gemma.cc to avoid duplication
Rename GemmaEnv model_ to gemma_ for disambiguating vs upcoming ModelStorage
Remove --compressed_weights, use --weights instead.
tensor_index: add ExtentsFromInfo and TensorIndexLLM/Img
Allocator: use normal unique_ptr for AllocBytes so users can call directly
threading: use -> because AlignedPtr no longer assumes arrays
PiperOrigin-RevId: 745918637
Adds Stride to ConstMat, to support decompression of C output for test
matmul_test: add line numbers to output
Also ignore "N is not a multiple of nc" when N==nc
PiperOrigin-RevId: 731096662
* Add Parallelize*Range helpers and partitioning helpers
* Refactor Pinning class, store original affinity (required to construct another NestedPools after pinning happened)
Compress:
* prevent Compress printing stats in tests
* zero-pad tensors
Matmul:
* add matmul_unit_test (TODO) and bench_matmul
* matmul_test: change norm to row vectors (that is what is added) and include bf16 rounding error
* Prepare for L2/L3 retrieval
PiperOrigin-RevId: 700603811
Add Extents2D, Range2D vocab types
Matmul uses ConstMat for inputs and RowPtr for output
Move RowVectorBatch to basics.h
Separate threading.cc
Fix topology string: report cores not LPs, and #HT
Move QStride/IsMHA into LayerConfig
ImageTokens does not require make_unique.
matmul_test: no longer require template args
PiperOrigin-RevId: 692963605
Improved threading.h, fix thread counts for single package/cluster systems
Temporarily forces to a single socket. Prefill 29.28 tps, decode 6.92.
Also fix benchmarks.cc build, update tensor allocator to Allocator
PiperOrigin-RevId: 687307167
Compression:
* Implement {any packed} x {bf16, f32} 'Load2' and DecompressAndZeroPad
* New compression test for all packed formats, add to GEMMA_TEST_FILES, remove from sfp/nuq_test
* Decompress->DecompressAndZeroPad, use PackedSpan for args with bounds checking
* NUQ: support arbitrary-length enc/dec
* New compression/shared, remove sfp.h and nuq.h
* Move Store2 into Traits and provide Compress2 wrapper
* Remove unused Decompress()-with-pool overload
* Simplify CompressedArrayLen, rename to CompressedArrayElements
* Remove unused DistortionStats b_l1_
Misc:
* Add compensated and Kahan dot, support any length
* Use same Dot function everywhere
* Move exact arithmetic functions into fp_arith
* use FloatPtr and MatPtr typedefs in tests; less stack usage
* Rename args to packed/raw
* Remove Traits::Name, instead TypeName<T>()
* Move kMaxSFP and kClusters/kGroupSize into Sfp/NuqStream
PiperOrigin-RevId: 672868468
Supports converting all weight/activation formats to native MulT (bf16/f32)
Also:
- ConstMat/MutableMat for const correctness
- Move RowVectorBatch to allocator.h so it can be used from Matmul
- Add matmul.h so MatMulEnv can be used from Activations
- Remove kMaxThreads, detect from PerClusterPools
- Build fix: -inl.h files must be textual_hdrs, and highway.h should precede -inl.h

Slower because we now init tiles of C and accumulate into them.
Also remove unused var in optimize_test and use BF16 typedef.
