This commit adds a curl script to the model-conversion examples
which is currently missing. This script is required for the running the
embedding server targets to test llama-server embeddings functionality.
This commit adds a new target to the Makefile for converting models that
are multimodal. This target will convert the original model and in
addition also create the mmproj GGUF model.
The motivation for this change is that for models that are multimodal,
for example those that contain a vision encoders, we will often want to
upload both the quantized model and the vision encoder model to
HuggingFace.
Example usage:
```console
$ make causal-convert-mm-model MODEL_PATH=~/work/ai/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized/
...
The environment variable CONVERTED_MODEL can be set to this path using:
export CONVERTED_MODEL=/home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
The mmproj model was created in /home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/mmproj-gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
```
The converted original model can then be quantized, and after that both
the quantized model and the mmproj file can then be uploaded to
HuggingFace.

This commit adds two targets to the Makefile for quantizing of
Quantization Aware Trained (QAT) models to Q4_0 format.
The motivation for this is that this sets the token embedding and the
output tensors data types to Q8_0 instead of the default Q6_K. This is
someting that we wish to enforce for QAT Q4_0 models that are to be
uploaded to ggml-org on Huggingface to guarantee the best quality.
* model-conversion: add model card template for embeddings [no ci]
This commit adds a separate model card template (model repository
README.md template) for embedding models.
The motivation for this is that there server command for the embedding
model is a little different and some addition information can be useful
in the model card for embedding models which might not be directly
relevant for causal models.
* squash! model-conversion: add model card template for embeddings [no ci]
Fix pyright lint error.
* remove --pooling override and clarify embd_normalize usage
* examples : add model conversion tool/example
This commit adds an "example/tool" that is intended to help in the
process of converting models to GGUF. Currently it supports normal
causal models and embedding models. The readme contains instructions and
command to guide through the process.
The motivation for this to have a structured and repeatable process for
model conversions and hopefully with time improve upon it to make the
process easier and more reliable. We have started to use this for new
model conversions internally and will continue doing so and improve it
as we go along. Perhaps with time this should be placed in a different
directory than the examples directory, but for now it seems like a good
place to keep it while we are still developing it.
* squash! examples : add model conversion tool/example
Remove dependency on scikit-learn in model conversion example.
* squash! examples : add model conversion tool/example
Update transformer dep to use non-dev version. And also import
`AutoModelForCausalLM` instead of `AutoModel` to ensure compatibility
with the latest version.
* squash! examples : add model conversion tool/example
Remove the logits requirements file from the all requirements file.
