* convert_hf : faster lazy safetensors
This makes '--dry-run' much, much faster.
* convert_hf : fix memory leak in lazy MoE conversion
The '_lazy' queue was sometimes self-referential,
which caused reference cycles of objects old enough
to avoid garbage collection until potential memory exhaustion.
* py : type-check all Python scripts with Pyright
* server-tests : use trailing slash in openai base_url
* server-tests : add more type annotations
* server-tests : strip "chat" from base_url in oai_chat_completions
* server-tests : model metadata is a dict
* ci : disable pip cache in type-check workflow
The cache is not shared between branches, and it's 250MB in size,
so it would become quite a big part of the 10GB cache limit of the repo.
* py : fix new type errors from master branch
* tests : fix test-tokenizer-random.py
Apparently, gcc applies optimisations even when pre-processing,
which confuses pycparser.
* ci : only show warnings and errors in python type-check
The "information" level otherwise has entries
from 'examples/pydantic_models_to_grammar.py',
which could be confusing for someone trying to figure out what failed,
considering that these messages can safely be ignored
even though they look like errors.
* convert-hf : support q8_0 conversion
* convert-hf : add missing ftype
This was messing with the checksums otherwise.
* convert-hf : add missing ftype to Baichuan and Xverse
I didn't notice these on my first pass.
* convert-hf : support bfloat16 conversion
* gguf-py : flake8 fixes
* convert-hf : add missing space after comma
* convert-hf : get bit-exact same output as ./quantize
The quantization version was missing.
* convert-hf : don't round bf16 NANs
* convert-hf : save some memory with np.int16 intermediate bf16 weights
* convert-hf : more closely match llama.cpp with which weights to keep in f32
* convert-hf : add --outtype auto-f16
A reason for this to exist is for model quantizers who want an initial
GGUF with the most fidelity to the original model while still using
a 16-bit float type instead of 32-bit floats.
* convert-hf : remove a semicolon because flake8 doesn't like it
It's a reflex from when programming in C/C++, I guess.
* convert-hf : support outtype templating in outfile name
* convert-hf : rename --outtype auto-f16 to --outtype auto
