rel #16117
Initial version of automatic memory offloading to host memory using an extended logic for minimizing the prompt reprocessing. The host-memory prompt cache acts as "extra slots" with which we can calculate prefix similarity and decide to hot-swap them into the
llama_context
if it would reduce the processing.Still WIP, but probably should be useable already.
Note: mtmd workarounds are starting to cause some headaches. For example
server_tokens
is not copyable which complicates the cache logic and makes the prompt caching feature incompatible with mtmd.TODOs
