frink-models 0.49.0

//! Loads a real `Decoder` from an on-disk GGUF file, using the
//! llama.cpp-style tensor naming convention
//! (`token_embd.weight`, `blk.N.attn_q.weight`, `blk.N.ffn_gate.weight`
//! or, for MoE, `blk.N.ffn_gate_exps.weight`, `output_norm.weight`,
//! `output.weight`). Until this module existed, frink could only run
//! correctly-shaped *random* weights.
//!
//! Quantized tensors (Q8_0 / Q4_0) are loaded as `WeightMatrix::Quantized`
//! backed by `WeightBytes::Mapped` -- a zero-copy view into the same
//! mmap `GgufFile` already holds, with no intermediate heap copy of the
//! tensor's bytes at all. So a checkpoint's resident memory is the
//! mmap page cache, not the mmap plus a second in-process copy of every
//! weight. `WeightMatrix::apply` dispatches to frink-quant's fused
//! dequant+dot kernels directly against those mapped bytes at inference
//! time. F32 tensors (norms, embeddings, and any weight not natively
//! quantized) still copy into an owned `Tensor`, since they're small
//! relative to the quantized weight matrices and need per-element
//! access patterns a raw byte view doesn't support as cleanly.
//!
//! Verified end to end (see `crates/frink-models/tests/gguf_roundtrip.rs`)
//! against a genuinely Q8_0-quantized, generated on-disk GGUF fixture
//! for the dense (single-expert) case, and against real OLMoE / Qwen2-MoE
//! checkpoints for the multi-expert 3D-packed-tensor path.
