* metal : add GDN kernel (#20361)
* metal : add Metal backend for GGML_OP_GATED_DELTA_NET
Add a fused Metal kernel for the gated delta net recurrence op
(#19504), enabling GPU-accelerated inference for DeltaNet-based
models (Qwen3.5, etc.) on Apple Silicon.
Supports both GDA (scalar gate) and KDA (per-row gate) modes
with head_size 64 and 128. Unsupported configurations (head_size
32, non-contiguous tensors) gracefully fall back to CPU.
Performance: Qwen3.5-0.8B Q4_K_M on M4 Max
tg128: 170 -> 213 t/s (+25%)

* CUDA: AR gated delta net improvements (#20391)
* Add FastDiv to gated_delta_net_cuda
* Shard columns across warps
This reduces register pressure (avoids spill for S_v = 128) and gives
the warp-scheduler more CTAs to schedule (thus hiding data-access
latencies).
* Remove unneded include in gated_delta_net.cu
* Improve comments
* Apply code-formating
* Make sharding HIP-compatible
1. Use ggml_cuda_get_physical_warp_size() to determine warp size flexibly
2. Add test with partial warp to test sum reduction on CUDA
* Remove fastdiv_s64, as we can treat neqk1 and rq3 as uint32_t
* Rename variables
* Enable GDN also for prefill, move TODO for chunked_GDN
* Actually remove the TODO from 2068908975
* Get warp size at runtime
warp_size is not known at compile time in hip host code.
* Don't expose ggml_cuda_get_physical_warp_size on host

* WIP: add NVFP4 quantization support

* vulcal and perf fixes

* Rename threshold & fix wrong scale
* Fix MOE
* Shelf backend implementations (CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, arch-specific SIMD)
Remove NVFP4 support from GPU backends and architecture-specific
optimized dot products. These should be added in separate PRs so
backend specialists can review them independently.
Reverted files:
- ggml-cuda: common.cuh, convert.cu, mmq.cu/cuh, mmvq.cu, vecdotq.cuh,
quantize.cu/cuh, mma.cuh, ggml-cuda.cu, fattn-tile.cuh
- ggml-metal: ggml-metal.metal, ggml-metal-device.cpp, ggml-metal-impl.h,
ggml-metal-ops.cpp
- ggml-vulkan: ggml-vulkan.cpp, all vulkan-shaders/*
- ggml-cpu arch: arm/quants.c, x86/quants.c, powerpc/quants.c, s390/quants.c
Core NVFP4 support (type definition, CPU fallback dot product,
quantization, dequantization, conversion) is retained.
* Fix arch-fallback.h: add NVFP4 generic fallback for all platforms
After shelving backend-specific SIMD implementations, the generic
CPU dot product needs to be aliased on ARM, x86, PowerPC, and s390
platforms that previously relied on arch-specific versions.
* quantize: add NVFP4 as a quantization type option
* Fix ggml_fp32_to_ue4m3: handle subnormal values
Previously, values with ue4m3_exp <= 0 were clamped to 0, causing
all small scales to underflow. This made NVFP4 quantization via
llama-quantize produce garbage (PPL = 5.8M) since typical transformer
weights have amax/6.0 in the range 0.001-0.01, which falls in the
UE4M3 subnormal range.
Now subnormals are properly encoded as man * 2^-9 (exp=0, man=1..7),
matching the decode path in ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32.
Result: NVFP4 requantization now produces PPL = 15.25 (vs F16 = 14.33),
comparable to Q4_1 (PPL = 15.81) at slightly lower BPW (4.70 vs 5.15).
* Restore ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product implementation
Restores the optimized ggml_vec_dot_nvfp4_q8_0 for ARM NEON using
vqtbl1q_s8 lookup and ggml_vdotq_s32 dot products.
tg128 performance: 4.37 t/s (generic) -> 13.66 t/s (NEON) = 3.1x speedup
* Optimize ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product: LUT + vpaddq + vfmaq
- Add ue4m3_scale_lut[128] to ggml-common.h replacing branch-heavy
ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32() in the hot loop
- Use vpaddq_s32 for pairwise int32 reduction instead of vaddvq_s32
- Accumulate with vfmaq_f32 into float32x4_t vector accumulators
tg128: 8.1 -> 31.0 t/s (3.8x speedup, 77% of Q4_1 speed)
* ARM NEON NVFP4: rearrange q8 to match nibble layout
Alternative approach: rearrange q8 data to match the NVFP4 lo/hi
nibble layout instead of rearranging the looked-up NVFP4 values.
Eliminates vcombine_s8(vget_low, vget_low) shuffles.
Performance is equivalent (~18.5 t/s) - the bottleneck is the 2x
block overhead from QK=16 vs QK=32, not the shuffle instructions.
* CPU only backend 64 super-block layout
* cleanup
* Remove unused LUT
* int
* exclude NVFP4 from unsupported ops in metal build
* remove quantization for now
* store scales as native UE4M3, preserve original model bits when possible
* Update convert_hf_to_gguf.py

Replace GGML_ABORT("fatal error") in ggml_metal_synchronize() with
error flag + return. This aligns synchronize error handling with
graph_compute, which already returns GGML_STATUS_FAILED for the same
condition.
When a command buffer fails (e.g., iOS GPU access revocation during
backgrounding, macOS eGPU disconnect, OOM), the backend enters an
error state instead of killing the host process. Subsequent
graph_compute calls return GGML_STATUS_FAILED immediately. Recovery
requires recreating the backend.
Failed extra command buffers are properly released on the error path
to avoid Metal object leaks.
Enable mul_mv_ext small-batch kernels (BS 2-8) for BF16, Q2_K,
and Q3_K quantization types. These types previously fell through
to the slower single-row mul_mv path.
BF16 uses the float4 dequantize path (like F16). Q2_K and Q3_K
use the float4x4 K-quant path (like Q4_K/Q5_K/Q6_K).

This patch addresses an Internal Compiler Error (Segmentation fault)
observed with gcc 15 by replacing the intrinsic + cast by doing
a cat on the data first and then calling the intrinsic. This bypasses the
buggy compiler path while maintaining identical instruction selection.
Performance Verification:
Assembly analysis on RHEL 9 (GCC 15.1.1) confirms that both the original
code and this fix generate the identical Power10 prefixed load instruction:
`plxv 40, 2(14)`
This ensures zero performance regression while unblocking builds on
newer toolchains.
Reproduced on:
- Alpine Linux + GCC 15.2.0-r2
- RHEL 9 + GCC 15.1.1 (gcc-toolset-15)

* Adds CPU-to-CUDA copy capability to
ggml_backend_cuda_cpy_tensor_async()
* Adds function to relax sync requirements between input copies on
supported backends (CUDA for now)
* Exchanges synchronous copy with async copy function.
* Adds macro guards to allow compilation in non-CUDA builds
* Reworked backend detection in ggml-backend.cpp to avoid linking
conflicts
* Relax requirement of checks in async CUDA copies from backend and buffer type to just buffer type, to avoid linking issues
* Minor cleanup
* Makes opt-in to relax use of explicit syncs more general. Backends like
vulkan which require a synchronization between HtoD copies and graph
execution could also adopt this change now.
* Reintroduces stricter check for CPU->CUDA backend async copy via
GGML_DEVICE_TYPE_CPU.
* Corrects initialization of ggml_backend_sync_mode in
ggml_backend_sched_split initialization
* Simplifies synchronizations to adhere to `saaasg` pattern.

* ggml-webgpu: fix workgroup dispatch limit for large batch sizes
WebGPU limits workgroup sizes to 65535 per dimension. Large MUL_MAT
operations with batch sizes exceedeing this limi would fail.
* add compute_2d_workgroups() helper to split total workgroup ID across
X/Y dimensions
* update mul_mat_reg_tile.wgsl to reconstruct linear workgroup ID from 2D
dispatch
* update mul_mat_subgroup_matrix.wgsl to reconstruct linear workgroup ID
from 2D dispatch
* update mul_mat.wgsl to compute global index from 2D workgroup
coordinates
* refactor all three mul_mat dispatch paths to use the shared helper
* ggml-webgpu: add bounds checking for over-dispatched workgroups
2D workgroup dispatch can over-dispatch when total workgroups don't
divide evenly into the 65535 per-dimension limit. Extra workgroups
would compute invalid batch indices, causing memory corruption.
* add batch_idx bound check to mul_mat_reg_tile.wgsl and
mul_mat_subgroup_matrix.wgsl to prevent over-dispatched workgroups
from accessing invalid memory
* fixes test failures with large batch sizes (eg., bs=[128, 1024])
