The `listSupportedBackends` function now includes error handling for the `fetchRemoteSupportedBackends` call.
This addresses an issue where an error thrown during the remote fetch (e.g., due to no network connection in offline mode) would prevent the subsequent loading of locally installed or manually provided llama.cpp backends.
The remote backend versions array will now default to empty if the fetch fails, allowing the rest of the backend initialization process to proceed as expected.
* feat: move estimateKVCacheSize to BE
* feat: Migrate model planning to backend
This commit migrates the model load planning logic from the frontend to the Tauri backend. This refactors the `planModelLoad` and `isModelSupported` methods into the `tauri-plugin-llamacpp` plugin, making them directly callable from the Rust core.
The model planning now incorporates a more robust and accurate memory estimation, considering both VRAM and system RAM, and introduces a `batch_size` parameter to the model plan.
**Key changes:**
- **Moved `planModelLoad` to `tauri-plugin-llamacpp`:** The core logic for determining GPU layers, context length, and memory offloading is now in Rust for better performance and accuracy.
- **Moved `isModelSupported` to `tauri-plugin-llamacpp`:** The model support check is also now handled by the backend.
- **Removed `getChatClient` from `AIEngine`:** This optional method was not implemented and has been removed from the abstract class.
- **Improved KV Cache estimation:** The `estimate_kv_cache_internal` function in Rust now accounts for `attention.key_length` and `attention.value_length` if available, and considers sliding window attention for more precise estimates.
- **Introduced `batch_size` in ModelPlan:** The model plan now includes a `batch_size` property, which will be automatically adjusted based on the determined `ModelMode` (e.g., lower for CPU/Hybrid modes).
- **Updated `llamacpp-extension`:** The frontend extension now calls the new Tauri commands for model planning and support checks.
- **Removed `batch_size` from `llamacpp-extension/settings.json`:** The batch size is now dynamically determined by the planning logic and will be set as a model setting directly.
- **Updated `ModelSetting` and `useModelProvider` hooks:** These now handle the new `batch_size` property in model settings.
- **Added new Tauri commands and permissions:** `get_model_size`, `is_model_supported`, and `plan_model_load` are new commands with corresponding permissions.
- **Consolidated `ModelSupportStatus` and `KVCacheEstimate`:** These types are now defined in `src/tauri/plugins/tauri-plugin-llamacpp/src/gguf/types.rs`.
This refactoring centralizes critical model resource management logic, improving consistency and maintainability, and lays the groundwork for more sophisticated model loading strategies.
* feat: refine model planner to handle more memory scenarios
This commit introduces several improvements to the `plan_model_load` function, enhancing its ability to determine a suitable model loading strategy based on system memory constraints. Specifically, it includes:
- **VRAM calculation improvements:** Corrects the calculation of total VRAM by iterating over GPUs and multiplying by 1024*1024, improving accuracy.
- **Hybrid plan optimization:** Implements a more robust hybrid plan strategy, iterating through GPU layer configurations to find the highest possible GPU usage while remaining within VRAM limits.
- **Minimum context length enforcement:** Enforces a minimum context length for the model, ensuring that the model can be loaded and used effectively.
- **Fallback to CPU mode:** If a hybrid plan isn't feasible, it now correctly falls back to a CPU-only mode.
- **Improved logging:** Enhanced logging to provide more detailed information about the memory planning process, including VRAM, RAM, and GPU layers.
- **Batch size adjustment:** Updated batch size based on the selected mode, ensuring efficient utilization of available resources.
- **Error handling and edge cases:** Improved error handling and edge case management to prevent unexpected failures.
- **Constants:** Added constants for easier maintenance and understanding.
- **Power-of-2 adjustment:** Added power of 2 adjustment for max context length to ensure correct sizing for the LLM.
These changes improve the reliability and robustness of the model planning process, allowing it to handle a wider range of hardware configurations and model sizes.
* Add log for raw GPU info from tauri-plugin-hardware
* chore: update linux runner for tauri build
* feat: Improve GPU memory calculation for unified memory
This commit improves the logic for calculating usable VRAM, particularly for systems with **unified memory** like Apple Silicon. Previously, the application would report 0 total VRAM if no dedicated GPUs were found, leading to incorrect calculations and failed model loads.
This change modifies the VRAM calculation to fall back to the total system RAM if no discrete GPUs are detected. This is a common and correct approach for unified memory architectures, where the CPU and GPU share the same memory pool.
Additionally, this commit refactors the logic for calculating usable VRAM and RAM to prevent potential underflow by checking if the total memory is greater than the reserved bytes before subtracting. This ensures the calculation remains safe and correct.
* chore: fix update migration version
* fix: enable unified memory support on model support indicator
* Use total_system_memory in bytes

Added a GPU memory check using `getSystemInfo` to ensure Vulkan is selected only on systems with at least 6 GB of VRAM.
* Made `determineBestBackend` asynchronous and updated all callers to `await` it.
* Adjusted backend priority list to include or demote Vulkan based on the memory check.
* Updated Vulkan support detection in `backend.ts` to rely solely on API version (memory check moved to selection logic).
* Imported `getSystemInfo` and refined file‑existence validation.
These changes prevent sub‑optimal Vulkan usage on low‑memory GPUs and improve backend selection reliability.
- Add `src-tauri/resources/` to `.gitignore`.
- Introduced utilities to read locally installed backends (`getLocalInstalledBackends`) and fetch remote supported backends (`fetchRemoteSupportedBackends`).
- Refactored `listSupportedBackends` to merge remote and local entries with deduplication and proper sorting.
- Exported `getBackendDir` and integrated it into the extension.
- Added helper `parseBackendVersion` and new method `checkBackendForUpdates` to detect newer backend versions.
- Implemented `installBackend` for manual backend archive installation, including platform‑specific binary path handling.
- Updated command‑line argument logic for `--flash-attn` to respect version‑specific defaults.
- Modified Tauri filesystem `decompress` command to remove overly strict path validation.
