* cuda : faster k-quant dot kernels
* Imrove Q2_K dot kernel on older GPUs
We now have a K_QUANTS_PER_ITERATION macro, which should be
set to 1 on older and to 2 on newer GPUs.
With this, we preserve the performance of the original
PR on RTX-4080, and are faster compared to master on
GTX-1660.
* Imrove Q6_K dot kernel on older GPUs
Using the same K_QUANTS_PER_ITERATION macro as last commit,
we preserve performance on RTX-4080 and speed up
Q6_K on a GTX-1660.
* Add LLAMA_CUDA_KQUANTS_ITER to CMakeLists.txt and Makefile
Allowed values are 1 or 2. 2 gives the best performance on
modern GPUs and is set as default. On older GPUs 1 may work
better.

* Update baby-llama.cpp
Seems to be an error in the implementation of the operator!= function. It attempts to compare the this pointer (a llama_hparams_lora object) with the other pointer (a llama_hparams object) using memcmp. This can lead to incorrect results because the sizes of the objects being compared (sizeof(llama_hparams) and sizeof(llama_hparams_lora)) are different, should now be able to compare two llama_hparams_lora objects for inequality.

* implement AdamW in ggml_opt_adam by adding weight decay parameter (default 0.001f)
also add a schedule parameter (default 1.0f) that can be used to scale alpha and decay according to learning schedule.
setting the decay parameter to zero disables AdamW resulting in normal Adam optimizer.
since the difference between Adam and AdamW is minimal it is not implemented as another optimizer, but integrated into the existing Adam optimizer.
* use inplace operations in cross_entropy_loss
* fix random weight initialization scale
* add missing default parameters for adam optimizer
* add ggml_opt_context, so that we can properly resume training
otherwise the optimizer states, tracking statistics about the error function and its derivates,
will reset to zero each time ggml_opt is called, hindering convergence on resumed training.
now the optimizer context and all its memory is stored in a separate struct.
* fix bug in llama_sample_token_mirostat_v2
when all candidates are filtered out through mu threshold, the following soft_max operation will fail.
so keep at least one.
* add forward function without using cache, for more performant training

removing the cache and simplifying the remaining code results in performance and memory usage improvement.

* replace inefficient repeat backward pass with dedicated repeat_back operation
* add ggml_cross_entropy_loss with backward pass for faster training
cross entropy loss can also be implemented using softmax and log, but as dedicated operation it is faster and especially avoids unnecessary memory overhead.
* add tests for cross_entropy_loss backward pass
finite differences regularly results in estimated gradient of zero, despite the backward pass giving non zero gradient.
_probably_ the finite differences fails due to numerical issues
* use ggml_cross_entropy_loss in text training example
* remove trailing whitespace
* slightly improve how cross entropy loss is compute
btw: directly implemented cross entropy loss seems to have way lower magnitudes than when implemented with softmax and log.
probably the input to log gets closer to zero due to float numerics.
maybe the multiplication by (1.0-eps)/sum is more accurate..
* add llama_get_vocab to get the vocabulary as output parameters
* set default model.type for unknown models with few layers
* add export of training checkpoint to llama compatible model file
* get vocabulary for exporting training checkpoint to llama compatible model file
* implement backward pass of flash attention
* bugfixes for backward pass of flash attention
* test flash attention backward pass
need to set loose error bounds to pass.
the finitie differences are close to numeric limits and often return quite different values than the backward pass.
reducing eps further lets the gradients vanish completely.
likewise setting eps to big results in wronger values.
the softmax in the middle of the function is probably the most responsible for the numeric issues using finite differences.
* add option to train with flash attention and move options to the top of the main function
training from scratch also works with flash attention
training convergence and generation results after fix number of iterations are worse than when not using flash attention.
maybe there still lingers a bug in the flash attention backward pass?
but training works, just with slower convergence.
flash attention is still worth to use, because it requires way less memory and is faster with high n_ctx
* add train_params and command line option parser
* remove unnecessary comments
* add train params to specify memory size
* remove python bindings
* rename baby-llama-text to train-text-from-scratch
* replace auto parameters in lambda function

* add explicit cast to fix compile error
"error: non-constant-expression cannot be narrowed from type 'int64_t' (aka 'long long') to 'uint32_t' (aka 'unsigned int') in initializer list [-Wc++11-narrowing]"
* remove trailing whitespace
* add ggml_opt_resume_g which accepts forward and backward cgraphs
* fix formulas in comments
* bug fix for ggml_compute_forward_get_rows_back_f32
the result should be set to zero, not to whatever data is in opt0
* improve training memory usage with scratch buffers
instead of relying on the automatic backward pass, we manually create the graph for the backward pass.
it turns out that all backward pass operations need only temporary memory which can be reused after each layer.
will compute backward pass for ALL model parameters
* add option to use scratch buffers in training or not
make it configurable because currently training with scratch buffers implies flash attention and optimization over all parameters.
* ci : disable temporary
* store view offset and permute axes in opt[0] instead of storing it in padding
use memcpy to store offset, because offset is of type size_t.
when storing it as int32_t offset would have to be smaller than 2^31 which is not necessarily true.
* minor : fix compile warnings + minor style changes
* fix bug in threaded indices calculation of ggml_compute_forward_flash_attn_back_f32
* store view offset like in master branch
* bug fix in forward_batch_wo_cache_flash_attn_train
* scratch buffer bug fixes in forward_batch_wo_cache_flash_attn_train
data of permute and reshape is the same as their input.
if we want to preserve the output of permute/reshape, we also need to preserve their inputs.
replace reshape(src0, src1) with reshape_nd calls so that we don't need src1.
replace (temporary) t03 with ggml_repeat(ctx0, layer.attention_norm, t02).
in the future we could also use the new broadcasting ggml_mul to avoid these repeat calls.
for this we need backward pass of broadcasting ggml_mul.
* remove unnecessary scratch buffer 0
buf 0 is persistent memory, so we can just disable scratch for this by using buf -1
* avoid creating unnecessary grad tensors
previously we need to create grads for model parameters, so that expand(..) correctly populates cgraph->leafs & cgraph->grads
this wasted memory, because unnecessary grad for each op were automatically created:
the automatically generated grad was unnecessary because we later manually set the grad (e.g. t35->grad = expand(gb, ...) ).
this discarded the automatically generated grad resulting in wasted memory.
improved this by changing expand(..) to not use ggml_build_forward_expand.
expand set cgraph->nodes but not the leafs.
cgraph->leafs & cgraph->grads are set in another pass after the last expand call.
* print used training seed
* zero initialize gfbuf and gbbuf
* ci : re-enable workflows + add README for training

* Allow "quantizing" to f16 and f32
Fix an issue where quantizing didn't respect LLAMA_NO_K_QUANTS
Add brief help to the list of quantization types in the quantize tool
Ignore case for quantization type arguments in the quantize tool
* metal : improve q4_K
28.3 -> 26.0 ms/token by avoiding a branch in the
calculation of the scales.
* metal : small improvement for Q4_K
* metal : still optimizing Q4_K
This commit pushes it down to 25.3 ms / token.
The crazy idea of using 6 bits for the scales is really costly on
Metal: if I remove the bit fiddling necessary to make the block
scales, time goes almost to the Q4_0 23 ms/token.
Before pushing the k-quants upstream I had a Q4_K variant that
had used 8-bit scales. It wasn't more accurate, used 0.125 bits more per weight,
was running slightly slower on the CPU (due to the larger model size
and being memory bound there), and the difference was entirely
negligible under CUDA. So, I decided to publish the version with 6-bit
scales. Perhaps I should re-consider and change to 8-bit scales?
* metal : some more optimizations
Q2_K: 25.4 ms/token
Q6_K: 27.3 ms/token
Q4_0: 22.8 ms/token
Q4_1: 23.1 ms/token
* metal : Q3_K support
Something is not quite right yet.
* metal : Q5_K support
Initial version achieves 31.2 ms/token, 210 GB/s
* metal : still not able to figure out why q3_K does not work
* Minor
* metal : yet another failed attempt to make q3_K work
* metal : optimize Q5_K
31.2 ms -> 27.8 ms.
250 GB/s.
* metal : q3_K still not working
Adding a heavily commented q3_K metal kernel to explain
my obviously faulty logic. Perhaps someone could spot the issue?
* metal : q3_K finally working
Not optimized at all.
What was the issue? The scales are not 4-bytes aligned,
and I was accessing them with a uint32_t pointer.
When I tried that on CUDA, I got an error (illegal memory access)
and added a memcpy to a local array of 3 uint32_t's.
But on Metal it told me there is no memcpy, so I tried
accessing directly. There is no error, just garbage results.
At some point I did try accessing the scales with an uint16_t
pointer (the scales are for sure 2-byte aligned), but was
still getting garbage. I guess, there must have been another bug.
No access to scales is via a uint16_t pointer and, after starting
from scratch from the C dequantize function, it finally works.
* metal : Q3_K 1st optimization pass
* metal : Q3_K second optimization pass - 29.6 ms/token
* metal : Q3_K cleanup

The number of buffers in the ggml context was left unitialized.
This leads to sporadic failures to load the model on
startup. It is actually strange that the failure occurred so
infrequantly.

* metal : add Q2_K implementation
27.1 ms / token on M2 Max 30-core GPU, so about the
same speed as Q4_0. Memory throughput is ~156 GB/s.
The access pattern used in the Q2_K
CUDA implementation resulted in significantly lower
performance (~31 ms/token).
* Fixing merge conflicts

* Metal implementation for Q4_K
Very slow for now:
42 ms / token, Q4_0 runs in 28 ms/token on my
30-core M2 Max GPU.
* Optimizing Q4_K on metal
The first token always takes longer, I guess because
the metal kernel is being jit-compiled.
So, using n = 128 to measure time.
At this point Q4_K takes 29.5 ms / token
compared to 27.2 ms / token for Q4_0.
Quite a bit better than the initial attempt,
but still not good enough.
* Optimizing q4_K metal dot some more
For n = 256 it is now 28.1 ms/token compared to
27 ms/token for q4_0.
* Fix after merge with master
* Metal implementation for Q6_K
Similar to the CUDA implementation.
No idea if this is the optimum for Metal, but the few
alternative variants I tried all had a lower performance.
We get 36.5 ms / token on M2 Max with 30 GPU cores.
This corresponds to ~200 GB/second throughput.
* clang-tidy : add config back
* Much better Q6_K implementation for metal
28.3 ms / token for 7B. Subtracting ~9 ms that is spent in
other compute graph operations, we are left with ~19 ms
for the matrix multiplications. The model is ~5.5 GB,
so we are getting 1000 / 19 * 5.5 = 290 GB/s!
