This patch modifies Ollama to allow grouping GPUs to memory-fit to the requested model, instead of the former algorithm of using one GPU distributing over all available GPUs.
Benefits:
- Lower amount of (PCIe-)bus communication between GPUs - especially when they are not very high speed
- Allowing unallocated GPUs to get into power-saving mode.
- Significantly reduce VRAM allocation when using more than 2 GPUs in a system
- Due to the reduced memory allocation, you can run more models simultaneously.
Callers can set a backend buffer type to be no-alloc, meaning that
it does not allocate memory for tensors or operations. This can
be used for calculating memory requirements. Tensors and graphs
must be recreated with no-alloc set to false before loading data.
Defaults to false for newly created backend buffer types.
For many backend data structures, GGML defines a typedef of a pointer
type and returns these from functions. In most cases, CGo understands
that these are interchangable but some parts of Go (such as generics)
think they are two different types. We should prefer the form that
GGML uses.
gpt-oss works best with a context length of at least 8k. However,
for GPUs with limited amount of VRAM, there is a significant
performance hit to this increased context. In these cases, we
switch to the Ollama default of 4k
We were missing passing along thinking if content was nil (as opposed
to empty string)
Also added a test for content not being passed, which was the real cause
of <https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11704>, since with the way
`Content` is typed, not passing it and empty string are distinct
Added support for converting both `name` and `tool_call_id` fields,
which different clients might provide. `name` is a legacy field from the
OpenAI completions API. For `tool_call_id` we inspect previous messages
and look for a matching tool call ID and grab its name
Issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/11704
Previously our OpenAI chat completions compat layer assumed that tool
calls and content would never be provided together, but this is not a
correct assumption. Content is only optional when tool calls are
present, but tool calls and content can be provided together

afaik gpt-oss is the first model that meaningfully transforms tool
function definitions in its template. We found that relatively common
definitions that include `anyOf` were not working because the template
was assuming that types were always defined via a `type` field.
anyOf allows for fully recursive types, so I exposed a
`toTypeScriptType()` function to handle this recursive logic in go and
keep the templates cleaner. The gpt-oss templates will need to be
updated to use this.
We should keep building out our function definition support to more
fully support the parts of json schema that make sense for this use
case, but in the meantime this will unblock some users (e.g., zed's
ollama integration w/ gpt-oss). Probably the most urgent is proper array
support
