Currently there is a mixture of int and int64 used when dealing with
tensor dimensions and shapes, which causes unnecessary conversions -
they all should be the same type.
In general, most interfaces (such as Pytorch) use int64 for
generality but most implementations (such as CUDA) use int32 for
performance. There isn't much benefit to us to being more flexible
than the implementations we are likely to run on.
In addition, as a practical matter, a model with a tensor with a single
dimension larger than 32 bits is unlikely to run on a 32-bit machine.
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
