* Make GDN changes in all backends. Address review comments.
* Fix CI build errors
* cpu: add GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D
Add the overlap-add (scatter-add) step of a 1D transposed convolution.
A ConvTranspose1d factorizes as a GEMM followed by col2im: a weight
pre-permuted to [IC, K*OC] is contracted against the [IC, T_in] input
with mul_mat to produce a column matrix [K*OC, T_in], and col2im_1d
scatters those columns back into the [T_out, OC] signal, with
T_out = (T_in - 1)*s0 + K - 2*p0.
Keeping the contraction as a plain mul_mat leaves the heavy work on the
optimized (and quantizable) matmul kernels, so col2im_1d only does the
cheap overlap-add.
CPU uses a gather formulation parallelized over output channels,
supporting F32, F16 and BF16 with an F32 accumulator.
* tests: add backend coverage for GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D
Add test_col2im_1d next to the conv_transpose_1d cases, covering F32,
F16 and BF16 across eight geometries: the canonical kernel = 2*stride
DAC upsampling shape, overlap, no overlap, cropping (p0 = 1 and
p0 = stride/2), kernel < stride with zeroed gaps, kernel not a
multiple of stride, and a single column unfold.
Perf mode gets three real vocoder stage shapes reporting memory
bandwidth. max_nmse_err relaxes to 5e-4 for F16 and BF16.
* cpu: harden GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D
ggml_col2im_1d validates s0, oc, p0 and input contiguity at graph
build time, before the oc division, protecting every backend at once.
The kernel asserts the contiguity its flat indexing assumes and its
doc states the full output length including the crop term.
The kernel parallelizes over the time axis: the split stays balanced
down to OC = 1, where the previous channel split was single threaded.
Values are bit identical on the three real vocoder chains, two out of
three improve.
* tests: extend the GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D grid
The eval grid grows to eleven geometries: OC = 1 (mono output stage),
K = 1 with stride > 1 (sparse scatter, every gap position zeroed) and
a crop down to T_out = 2 where all the gather bounds act at once.
* tests: add col2im_1d equivalence test
tests/test-col2im-1d.cpp proves mul_mat + col2im_1d matches the
native ggml_conv_transpose_1d on the CPU backend, F32 bit exact, F16
and BF16 through casts of the column matrix. test-backend-ops cannot
cover this for a CPU only op since the CPU backend is its own
reference there.
* rpc: bump protocol patch version for GGML_OP_COL2IM_1D
GGML_OP_COUNT goes from 96 to 97 with the new op, which trips the
static_assert in ggml-rpc.h. Bump RPC_PROTO_PATCH_VERSION since the
op is appended and no existing op code shifts.
This allows vec4 loads of the B elements. Also increase BK to 64 when this is
enabled. Neither of these alone is consistently faster, but together these give
a nice speedup.
In ggml-vulkan.cpp, we need to make sure the B matrix alignment and stride are
multiples of 4.

* metal : optimize concat kernel with row batching for small widths

- Calculate nrptg (rows per threadgroup) to fill up to 256 threads
- Update kernel index calculation to handle the row batching
- Add boundary check for i1 >= ne1

against canonical sorted and reverse dst, skipping identical shapes.
Covers F32, F16, and Q4_0 (when both src and dst ne0 == 32).

The MUL_MAT test loop iterates over base_types[] to generate non-contig
permutation cases (3 standard permutations across n in {1, 8, 16}).
BF16 is absent from base_types[], so these 9 cases were never generated
for BF16 even though every other type covered by base_types[] tests them.
Add the missing 9 cases explicitly: BF16 x F32, m=16, k=256, bs=[2,3],
permutations {0,2,1,3}, {0,1,3,2}, {0,3,2,1}, with n in {1, 8, 16}.

There has been some recent interest/experimentation with mixed quantization

adds the missing pieces and enables it.
Also support Q1_0 since people have been trying that out (seems crazy, but
who knows).

there's another change open against the scalar path and I don't want to
conflict.

* Rename threshold & fix wrong scale
* Fix MOE
* Shelf backend implementations (CUDA, Metal, Vulkan, arch-specific SIMD)
Remove NVFP4 support from GPU backends and architecture-specific
optimized dot products. These should be added in separate PRs so
backend specialists can review them independently.
Reverted files:
- ggml-cuda: common.cuh, convert.cu, mmq.cu/cuh, mmvq.cu, vecdotq.cuh,
quantize.cu/cuh, mma.cuh, ggml-cuda.cu, fattn-tile.cuh

- ggml-vulkan: ggml-vulkan.cpp, all vulkan-shaders/*
- ggml-cpu arch: arm/quants.c, x86/quants.c, powerpc/quants.c, s390/quants.c
Core NVFP4 support (type definition, CPU fallback dot product,
quantization, dequantization, conversion) is retained.
* Fix arch-fallback.h: add NVFP4 generic fallback for all platforms
After shelving backend-specific SIMD implementations, the generic
CPU dot product needs to be aliased on ARM, x86, PowerPC, and s390
platforms that previously relied on arch-specific versions.
* quantize: add NVFP4 as a quantization type option
* Fix ggml_fp32_to_ue4m3: handle subnormal values
Previously, values with ue4m3_exp <= 0 were clamped to 0, causing
all small scales to underflow. This made NVFP4 quantization via
llama-quantize produce garbage (PPL = 5.8M) since typical transformer
weights have amax/6.0 in the range 0.001-0.01, which falls in the
UE4M3 subnormal range.
Now subnormals are properly encoded as man * 2^-9 (exp=0, man=1..7),
matching the decode path in ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32.
Result: NVFP4 requantization now produces PPL = 15.25 (vs F16 = 14.33),
comparable to Q4_1 (PPL = 15.81) at slightly lower BPW (4.70 vs 5.15).
* Restore ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product implementation
Restores the optimized ggml_vec_dot_nvfp4_q8_0 for ARM NEON using
vqtbl1q_s8 lookup and ggml_vdotq_s32 dot products.
tg128 performance: 4.37 t/s (generic) -> 13.66 t/s (NEON) = 3.1x speedup
* Optimize ARM NEON NVFP4 dot product: LUT + vpaddq + vfmaq
- Add ue4m3_scale_lut[128] to ggml-common.h replacing branch-heavy
ggml_ue4m3_to_fp32() in the hot loop
- Use vpaddq_s32 for pairwise int32 reduction instead of vaddvq_s32
- Accumulate with vfmaq_f32 into float32x4_t vector accumulators
tg128: 8.1 -> 31.0 t/s (3.8x speedup, 77% of Q4_1 speed)
* ARM NEON NVFP4: rearrange q8 to match nibble layout
Alternative approach: rearrange q8 data to match the NVFP4 lo/hi
nibble layout instead of rearranging the looked-up NVFP4 values.
Eliminates vcombine_s8(vget_low, vget_low) shuffles.
Performance is equivalent (~18.5 t/s) - the bottleneck is the 2x
block overhead from QK=16 vs QK=32, not the shuffle instructions.
* CPU only backend 64 super-block layout
* cleanup
* Remove unused LUT
* int
* exclude NVFP4 from unsupported ops in metal build
* remove quantization for now
* store scales as native UE4M3, preserve original model bits when possible
* Update convert_hf_to_gguf.py
