* model : fix SWA not being enabled for EXAONE 4.5 load_arch_hparams tests `hparams.n_layer() == 64` before LLM_KV_NEXTN_PREDICT_LAYERS has been read. n_layer() returns n_layer_all - n_layer_nextn and n_layer_nextn defaults to 0, so a GGUF carrying the MTP head (block_count=65, nextn=1) evaluates to 65 and the whole SWA block is skipped. The model type switch further down in the same function reads 64, because by then the key has been loaded. n_swa is still filled in by the unconditional get_key below the block, so llama_model_n_swa() reports 4096 and the logs look correct while only swa_type stays LLAMA_SWA_TYPE_NONE. This affects the official LGAI-EXAONE GGUF release as well. EXAONE 4.0 has no MTP head, so block_count is 64 there and the check matches. * model-loader : skip TENSOR_SKIP tensors in the metadata-only path create_tensor asserts on a null buffer type when building from metadata alone, but buft_for_tensor returns null by design for tensors marked TENSOR_SKIP, which is how architectures with nextn/MTP layers mark theirs. Those models cannot be constructed by llama_model_init_from_user at all. The file-backed path below already returns nullptr for the same tensors, so callers see the same thing either way. * tests : cover exaone4 hparams ordering Builds a synthetic exaone4 model with the layout the shipped EXAONE 4.5 GGUFs use (block_count 65 + nextn 1). The swa_type check is the one that catches the ordering bug; the n_layer_nextn and n_layer() checks only tell a broken fixture apart from a real regression. Fails before the ordering fix with "swa_type is not STANDARD", passes after. * Revert "tests : cover exaone4 hparams ordering" This reverts commitd2f3bafeee. * Revert "model-loader : skip TENSOR_SKIP tensors in the metadata-only path" This reverts commitaecb9bc0c7.

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.
