# Changelog

## v0.5.0

### Added

- **Structured output via JSON Schema** — New `:json_schema` option on `generate/3`, `stream/3`, `chat/3`, `stream_chat/3`, `chat_completion/3`, and `stream_chat_completion/3`. Pass a JSON Schema map and the model output is automatically constrained to valid JSON matching the schema. Uses llama.cpp's built-in `json_schema_to_grammar()` under the hood.

  ```elixir
  schema = %{
    "type" => "object",
    "properties" => %{"name" => %{"type" => "string"}, "age" => %{"type" => "integer"}},
    "required" => ["name", "age"],
    "additionalProperties" => false
  }
  {:ok, json} = LlamaCppEx.chat(model, messages, json_schema: schema, temp: 0.0)
  ```

- **`LlamaCppEx.Grammar`** — New module for JSON Schema to GBNF conversion.
  - `from_json_schema/1` — returns `{:ok, gbnf_string}` or `{:error, reason}`
  - `from_json_schema!/1` — returns the GBNF string or raises

- **`LlamaCppEx.Schema`** — New module for converting Ecto schema modules to JSON Schema maps. Maps all standard Ecto types (`:string`, `:integer`, `:float`, `:boolean`, `:date`, `{:array, inner}`, etc.) and supports nested `embeds_one`/`embeds_many`. Automatically excludes `:id` and timestamp fields.

- **NIF: `json_schema_to_grammar_nif/1`** — Exposes llama.cpp's `json_schema_to_grammar()` via `nlohmann::ordered_json`.

### Changed

- **Elixir requirement** bumped to `~> 1.18` (for built-in `JSON.encode!/1`).
- **Dependencies** — added `{:ecto, "~> 3.0", optional: true}` for optional Ecto schema integration.

## v0.4.4

## v0.4.3

### Changed

- **llama.cpp submodule** — Updated to latest upstream (b8185).
  - Vulkan: improve partial offloading performance on AMD
  - CUDA: cap grid.y at 65535 in non-contiguous dequantize/convert kernels
  - ggml-cpu: optimise s390x multiply extend instructions
  - Vendors: update cpp-httplib to 0.35.0, miniaudio to 0.11.24

## v0.4.2

### Changed

- **llama.cpp submodule** — Updated to latest upstream (b8179).

## v0.4.1

### Improved

- **Error handling** — `Chat.apply_template/3`, `Tokenizer.encode/3`, and `Tokenizer.decode/2` now return `{:error, reason}` instead of crashing when NIFs raise.
- **Telemetry documentation** — Server moduledoc documents all telemetry events, measurements, and metadata.
- **Typespecs** — Added `@spec` to `Server.start_link/1`.

### Changed

- **llama.cpp submodule** — Updated to latest upstream (b8157).

## v0.4.0

### Added

- **Full model loading params** — `main_gpu`, `split_mode`, `tensor_split` for multi-GPU placement; `use_mlock` and `use_direct_io` for memory control; `vocab_only` for cheap model introspection without loading weights.
- **Server GPU forwarding** — `Server.start_link/1` now forwards `main_gpu`, `split_mode`, `tensor_split`, `use_mlock`, and `use_direct_io` to `Model.load/2`.

## v0.3.0

### Added

- **Jinja chat templates** — switched from `llama_chat_apply_template()` C API to the full Jinja-based `common_chat_templates_apply()` engine from llama.cpp's common library.
- **`enable_thinking` option** — pass `enable_thinking: false` to `Chat.apply_template/3`, `chat/3`, `stream_chat/3`, `chat_completion/3`, and `stream_chat_completion/3` to disable CoT reasoning for models like Qwen3/3.5.
- **`chat_template_kwargs` option** — pass arbitrary key-value pairs to the Jinja template engine.
- **Penalty parameters** — `penalty_repeat`, `penalty_freq`, and `penalty_present` options for repetition/frequency/presence penalties in sampling.
- **OpenAI-compatible response format** — `chat_completion/3` and `stream_chat_completion/3` return `ChatCompletion` and `ChatCompletionChunk` structs.
- **Qwen3.5 benchmark results** in README — Qwen3.5-27B and Qwen3.5-35B-A3B on Apple M4 Max.

### Changed

- `Chat.apply_template/3` now uses the Jinja engine and takes the model ref directly (no longer accepts `:template` option for raw template strings).
- Linked `libcommon.a` from llama.cpp build (previously excluded).
- `LlamaModel` RAII wrapper now caches `common_chat_templates` at model load time.

## v0.2.0

### Added

- **Continuous batching server** (`LlamaCppEx.Server`) — GenServer with slot pool for concurrent multi-sequence inference. One forward pass per tick with decode tokens and prefill chunks mixed in a single batch.
- **Embeddings** (`LlamaCppEx.Embedding`) — `embed/3` and `embed_batch/3` with L2 normalization and configurable pooling type.
- **Grammar-constrained generation** — GBNF grammar support via `grammar` and `grammar_root` options in `Sampler.create/2` and `generate/3`.
- **Batched inference primitives** — `prefill/3`, `decode_batch/3`, `decode_token/4`, `batch_eval/2`, `sampler_sample_at/3` NIFs for building custom inference loops.
- **Streaming via Server** — `LlamaCppEx.Server.stream/3` for token-by-token streaming through the batched server.
- **Telemetry events** — `[:llama_cpp_ex, :server, :tick]` and `[:llama_cpp_ex, :server, :request, :done]` for observability.
- **Benchmark suite** (`bench/`) — Benchee-based benchmarks for single-sequence and server generation, plus a custom continuous batching harness measuring throughput scaling.

### Changed

- `Sampler.create/1` now requires the model as the first argument: `Sampler.create(model, opts)`.
- `Context.create/2` accepts new options: `:embeddings`, `:pooling_type`, `:n_seq_max`.
