What & why

  • GGML_LLAMAFILE (new, default ON via GAME_GGML_LLAMAFILE): CPU mul_mat uses llamafile sgemm (tinyBLAS) for Q8_0/F32/BF16 on AVX2+. CI cpu job validates it. NB: changes FP summation order — CPU bit-exactness tests must be re-run.
  • Document the CPU/version gate (stay on ggml v0.20.2, CPU package = non-DL + GGML_NATIVE=OFF): v0.20.x variants require GGML_BACKEND_DL, DL unlinks the CPU backend so our direct src/backend.cpp symbols fail to link, and NATIVE+DL are mutually exclusive upstream. Do not flip to NATIVE/ALL_VARIANTS or downgrade the tag until the backend.cpp dlopen refactor is done.
  • AGENT.md: pitfall list for future agents/contributors (ggml version gate, direct CPU backend symbols, in-repo patches, doc/pin drift, CUDA arch-toolkit coupling, cross-arch CPU footguns, DBCache FP drift, mel threadpool, sandbox note, scripts pipeline).

Based on current main (post #15, ggml v0.20.2). No dependency moves — pin is unchanged, only enabling + documentation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a default-enabled ggml llamafile option, enables it in Linux CPU CI, retains the portable v0.20.2 CPU configuration, and documents build, linkage, architecture, threading, and release constraints.

Changes

ggml CPU configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Llamafile option wiring
CMakeLists.txt, cmake/Dependencies.cmake
Adds GAME_GGML_LLAMAFILE and maps it to ggml’s GGML_LLAMAFILE setting.
Portable CPU build configuration
.github/workflows/ci.yml, BUILDING.md, cmake/Dependencies.cmake
Enables llamafile kernels in Linux CPU CI and documents the pinned non-DL CPU configuration, direct CPU linkage, and native-build restrictions.
Repository build guidance
AGENT.md, README.md, README_CN.md
Adds guidance for ggml version changes, CPU and CUDA configuration, cross-platform builds, threading, release checks, and related documentation links.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 108f2

The PR enables a new default CPU matrix-multiplication path, but current CI does not execute it against real model data, so runtime or numerical regressions could pass unnoticed. The configuration override and machine-specific documentation path also need correction before the change is merge-ready.

Avoid forcing the upstream option through the CMake cache.

CACHE BOOL ... FORCE rewrites GGML_LLAMAFILE on every configure and can override an explicit -DGGML_LLAMAFILE=OFF. Keep GAME_GGML_LLAMAFILE as the public switch, but pass its value to the fetched ggml project through the supported configure mechanism without FORCE. Verify both ON and OFF configurations from a clean build.

declaration in Dependencies.cmake to preserve explicit user-provided values
instead of using FORCE, while continuing to expose GAME_GGML_LLAMAFILE as the
public switch and forwarding its value through ggml’s supported configuration
mechanism. Verify clean builds with both the option enabled and disabled.

- Around line 133-138: Update the llamafile CI job around the existing
GAME_GGML_BUILD_TESTS=OFF configuration and game_ggml_cli --version invocation
to run a CPU-only inference or bit-exactness check using the prepared GGUF
files, exercising F32 or Q8_0 mul_mat with the repository’s existing numerical
tolerances while preserving the current build settings.

In `@AGENT.md`:
- Around line 131-136: Remove the machine-specific checkout path from the
committed guidance in AGENT.md. Replace it with a generic rule using git
rev-parse --git-dir to identify the metadata location, while preserving the
guidance about where git writes belong and handling sandbox permission failures.
