<details open> server : support typed content (vision/audio/video) input for /v1/embeddings endpoint (#29556) * server : support multimodal input for /v1/embeddings (Qwen3-VL-Embedding) Accept the OpenAI-style wrapped content array format for multimodal embedding requests. Each {"content": [...]} object is one input that produces one embedding; text parts are concatenated and image_url parts are decoded via handle_media then spliced with process_mtmd_prompt. The legacy formats (plain string, token arrays, mixed arrays, and the {prompt_string, multimodal_data} object) continue to work unchanged via tokenize_input_prompts. Bare content arrays (the unwrapped shape) are rejected with a migration

State says LLMs threaten civilization as "the greatest public nuisance ever created."
OpenAI popularized the modern generative AI chatbot, but as its 2026 DevDay event approaches, it's fallen behind in one of the industry's hottest categories: continuously running, consumer-facing AI agents. On Tuesday, it will likely try to capture the lead in that race. Rumors abound that OpenAI will release its own AI agent, dubbed Aeon - […]

<details open> server : allow RANK pooling batch splitting for causal LLM rerankers (ie. Qwen3 and Qwen3-VL) (#28876) * server : allow splitting RANK pooling for causal LLM rerankers Rerank models fall into two categories: bidirectional cross-encoders (BERT, etc.) that require all tokens in a single physical batch, and causal LLMs repurposed as rerankers (Qwen3, Qwen3-VL) that can use chunked prefill like any other decoder. Previously the server rejected all RANK-pooling inputs larger than n_ubatch, and the graph builder hardcoded QWEN3/QWEN3VL arch checks to determine last-token pooling. This broke long-document and multimodal reranking for causal models. Fix: expose llama_get_causal_attn(c

<details open> cuda: add F16 input to the FWHT (#29096) * cuda: add F16 input to the FWHT The CUDA FWHT accepts F32 input only. This makes the source type a template parameter, so the kernel reads an F16 source directly instead of requiring a converted copy. The F32 path is unchanged. supports_op accepts an F16 src1 against an F32 src0 for the Hadamard hint. Every other F16 src1 against a non-F16 src0 is still refused. ggml_cuda_op_mul_mat_use_fwht is the single predicate both supports_op and the dispatch call now share, checking contiguity and same-shape(src1, dst) in addition to the type/hint conditions above. Without a shared predicate, supports_op could admit an op that ggml_cuda_op_fwht

<details open> mtmd: fix mel preprocessor in LFM2 audio (#29403) which resulted in different greedy transcripts for 4.5% of English and 6.5% of Japanese test utterances. In Japanese, some differences changed entire words. This change: * uses `log(x + 2^-24)` instead of clamping to the log floor * uses a symmetric Hann window, equivalent to `torch.hann_window(periodic=False)` * adds the normalization epsilon to the standard deviation instead of inside the square root Only the `lfm2a` preprocessor opts into these behaviors. Other audio preprocessors are unchanged. Tested on top of 84e76d8 using `llama-server` with CUDA and `temperature=0`, compared against http://github.com/Liquid4All/liquid-a
