The api provides access methods for retrieving the current memory buffer for the kv_cache and its token number.
It also contains a method for setting the kv_cache from a memory buffer.
This makes it possible to load/save history - maybe support --cache-prompt paramater as well?

If you deleted your old Meta LLaMA .pth files, then the
migrate-ggml-2023-03-30-pr613.py script will allow you to convert your
old ggml files into the new mmap()'able format.
See #613
This is a breaking change that's going to give you three benefits:
1. Your inference commands should load 100x faster
2. You may be able to safely load models 2x larger
3. You can run many concurrent inference processes
This was accomplished by changing the file format so we can mmap()
weights directly into memory without having to read() or copy them
thereby ensuring the kernel can make its file cache pages directly
accessible to our inference processes; and secondly, that the file
cache pages are much less likely to get evicted (which would force
loads to hit disk) because they're no longer competing with memory
pages that were needlessly created by gigabytes of standard i/o.
The new file format supports single-file models like LLaMA 7b, and
it also supports multi-file models like LLaMA 13B. Our Python tool
now merges the foo.1, foo.2, etc. files back into a single file so
that the C++ code which maps it doesn't need to reshape data every
time. That's made llama.cpp so much simpler. Much of its load code
has now been deleted.
Furthermore, this change ensures that tensors are aligned properly
on a 32-byte boundary. That opens the door to seeing if we can get
additional performance gains on some microprocessors, by using ops
that require memory alignment.
Lastly note that both POSIX and the Windows platform are supported
Fixes#91
* It seems some new warning were added recently that exposed this. I wrote the code that included this unused variable originally and it is indeed not needed.
* Create chat-13B.bat
Same script than chat-13B.sh, but for windows users.
Tested and working on windows 10/11 v 22H2
* Apply suggestions from code review

* Enable Fused-Multiply-Add (FMA) instructions on MSVC
__FMA__ macro does not exist in MSVC
* Enable F16C/CVT16 vector extensions on MSVC
__F16C__ macro does not exist in MSVC, but is implied with AVX2/AVX512
* MSVC cvt intrinsics
* Add __SSE3__ macro for MSVC too because why not
even though it's not currently used for anything when AVX is defined
* Add AVX2 implementation of quantize_row_q4_1
* Actually use AVX2
* Make quantize_row_q4_1 static
