* vulkan: TQ2_0 (ternary) support — dequant + dedicated mul_mat_vec + matmul via dequant_funcs First Vulkan ternary type in ggml. Correctness: OM-125m TQ2_0 vs F16 top-12 logprobs identical to 4 decimals fully offloaded (float dequant path, no Q8_K activation quant). Speed at 125m ~= F16 (overhead-bound at this scale); the bandwidth win targets larger BitNet SKUs. MMQ/int-dot path intentionally not wired yet. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> * tests: enable TQ2_0 in backend-ops type lists Vulkan now implements TQ2_0 (dequant, mul_mat_vec, mul_mm, get_rows); backends without support skip via not-supported as usual. TQ1_0 stays disabled.

Description
The main goal of llama.cpp is to enable LLM (and VLM) inference with minimal setup and state-of-the-art performance on
a wide range of hardware - locally and in the cloud.
- Plain C/C++ implementation without any dependencies
- Apple silicon is a first-class citizen - optimized via ARM NEON, Accelerate and Metal frameworks
- AVX, AVX2, AVX512 and AMX support for x86 architectures
- RVV, ZVFH, ZFH, ZICBOP and ZIHINTPAUSE support for RISC-V architectures
- 1.5-bit, 2-bit, 3-bit, 4-bit, 5-bit, 6-bit, and 8-bit integer quantization for faster inference and reduced memory use
- Custom CUDA kernels for running LLMs on NVIDIA GPUs (support for AMD GPUs via HIP and Moore Threads GPUs via MUSA)
- Vulkan and SYCL backend support
- CPU+GPU hybrid inference to partially accelerate models larger than the total VRAM capacity
The llama.cpp project is build on top of the ggml library.
