## v0.7.2
### Fixed
- **NIF signature mismatch on precompiled builds** — When `LLAMA_BACKEND` is set, the build now forces compilation from source instead of downloading a precompiled NIF that may have a stale function signature. (#23)
- **Precompile workflow CI failures** — The CI Checks job in the precompile workflow used a stale cached NIF (arity 9 vs 10 for `model_load`) because the cache key didn't include C source hashes and `mix compile` ran under the wrong `MIX_ENV`. Aligned with `ci.yml` by adding `c_src/**` to the cache key, compiling for `MIX_ENV=test`, and running `mix clean` before compile.
- **Precompile archive version mismatch** — The precompile and checksum jobs now set `@version` from the git tag (via `sed`), matching what the publish job already did. Previously, archives were named with the old version from `mix.exs`, causing the publish job to fail when looking for archives matching the tag version.
## v0.7.1
### Added
- **Full llama.cpp optimization parameters** — Exposed 17 new context parameters and 1 model parameter:
- KV cache quantization: `type_k`, `type_v` (f16, q8_0, q4_0, etc.) for 2-4x memory savings
- Flash attention & GPU offload: `flash_attn`, `offload_kqv`, `op_offload`
- RoPE scaling: `rope_scaling_type`, `rope_freq_base`, `rope_freq_scale`, YaRN parameters
- Misc: `attention_type`, `no_perf`, `swa_full`, `check_tensors`
## v0.7.0
### Added
- **Prefix caching** — Same-slot KV cache reuse for multi-turn chat. When a new request shares a prefix with the slot's previous request, the common prefix is skipped during prefill. 1.23x faster for multi-turn conversations. Controlled by `cache_prompt` option (default `false`, opt-in). Includes prefix-affinity slot selection. See [ADR 007](docs/adr/007-prefix-caching.md).
- **Pluggable batching strategies** — Extracted batch building into `BatchStrategy` behaviour with three built-in strategies: `DecodeMaximal` (default, generation-latency optimized), `PrefillPriority` (throughput optimized), `Balanced` (fair split). Custom strategies can implement the behaviour. See [ADR 008](docs/adr/008-batching-strategies.md).
- **Pre-tokenized API** — `Server.generate_tokens/3`, `Server.stream_tokens/3`, and `Server.get_model/1` allow callers to tokenize outside the GenServer, reducing mailbox contention under concurrent load.
- **HuggingFace Hub integration** — New `LlamaCppEx.Hub` module with `search/2` (find GGUF models), `list_gguf_files/2` (with file sizes via tree API), `download/3` (with local caching, ETag support, offline mode via `LLAMA_OFFLINE=1`), and `get_model_info/2`. Authentication via `HF_TOKEN` or `HUGGING_FACE_HUB_TOKEN` env vars. New `LlamaCppEx.load_model_from_hub/3` convenience wrapper. Requires optional `:req` dependency.
- **Performance guide** — New `docs/performance.md` with server tuning, prefix caching patterns, strategy selection guide, and optimization recipes.
- **Benchee benchmarks** — New `bench/prefix_cache.exs`, `bench/strategies.exs`, `bench/tokenize_overhead.exs` for measuring prefix cache impact, strategy comparison, and tokenization overhead.
### Changed
- **Graceful batch_eval error handling** — The server now fails active slots with error replies instead of crashing the GenServer when `batch_eval` returns an error (e.g., KV cache overflow).
### Fixed
- **CI warning suppression** — Suppress `-Wunused-function` warnings from vendored llama.cpp jinja headers (`runtime.h`, `lexer.h`).

## v0.6.0
### Added
- **Qwen 3.5 support** — llama.cpp updated to c5a778891 (35 commits since v0.5.0).
- **`reasoning_content` in ChatCompletion** — `chat_completion/3` now splits `<think>...</think>` blocks from the response when `enable_thinking: true`. The choice message includes `reasoning_content` (the thinking text) and `content` (the final answer). Returns `nil` when thinking is not enabled or no thinking block is present.
- **`reasoning_content` in ChatCompletionChunk** — `stream_chat_completion/3` emits chunks with `reasoning_content` in the delta while the model is thinking, then switches to `content` after `</think>`.
- **`LlamaCppEx.Thinking`** — New module with `parse/1` for one-shot parsing and `stream_parser/1` + `feed/2` for streaming token-boundary-safe parsing of think blocks. Handles the real-world Qwen3/3.5 template behavior where `<think>` is opened by the template itself.

### Unchanged
- `chat/3` and `stream_chat/3` continue returning raw text (no breaking change).
## 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

## v0.4.2
### Changed

- **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`.
## v0.1.0
