* bench: add prompt calibration, context size flag, and NumCtx reporting
Add --num-ctx flag to set context size, and report NumCtx in model info
header. Calibrate tokens-per-word ratio during warmup using actual
tokenization metrics from the model, replacing the fixed 1.3 heuristic.
This produces more accurate prompt token counts for --prompt-tokens.
Also add fetchContextLength() to query running model context via /api/ps.
* integration: improve vision test robustness and add thinking tests
Add skipIfNoVisionOverride() to skip vision tests when OLLAMA_TEST_MODEL
is set to a non-vision model. Add Think:false to context exhaustion test
to prevent thinking models from using all context before the test can
measure it. Add third test image (ollama homepage) and replace OCR test
with ImageDescription test using it. Relax match strings for broader
model compatibility. Add TestThinkingEnabled and TestThinkingSuppressed
to verify thinking output and channel tag handling.
* gemma4: add Gemma 4 GGML model support

for the GGML backend including text, vision, converter, parser, and
renderer.

softplus repacker for per_dim_scale, F32 enforcement for conv weights
- GGML backend: Conv1DDW and PadExt tensor ops
- Audio encoder: SSCP Conv2D, 12 conformer blocks (FFW + block-local
attention with relative position embeddings + LightConv1d + FFW),
output projection, audio-to-text embedding projector

Correctly transcribes "why is the sky blue" from test audio.
* integration: add gemma4 audio tests including OpenAI API coverage
Test audio transcription and response via the Ollama native API, plus
two new tests exercising the OpenAI-compatible endpoints:
- /v1/audio/transcriptions (multipart form upload)
- /v1/chat/completions with input_audio content type
All tests use capability checks and skip models without audio support.
* gemma4: add OpenAI audio API support and capability detection
- Add CapabilityAudio and detect from audio.block_count in GGUF
- Add /v1/audio/transcriptions endpoint with TranscriptionMiddleware
- Add input_audio content type support in /v1/chat/completions

PulseAudio/ALSA on Linux, WASAPI on Windows)
- Space to start/stop recording, automatic chunking for long audio
* gemma4: add transcribe command (ollama transcribe MODEL)
- Interactive mode with readline prompt and slash commands
- Non-interactive mode for piped audio or record-until-Ctrl+C

- Word-wrapped output matching run command style
* gemma4: add parser, renderer, and integration test plumbing
* gemma4: fix renderer to emit BOS token
* gemma4: add OpenAI audio transcription API and input_audio support
* gemma4: update converter for new weight drop naming
* gemma4: add per_expert_scale to MoE router and fix moe_intermediate_size config
* gemma4: rewrite renderer to match HF Jinja2 template exactly
Fix 8 bugs found by building 55 reference tests verified against the
HF Jinja2 chat template (VERIFY_JINJA2=1 shells out to Python):
- Tool responses use separate <|turn>tool turns (not inline tags)
- Tool calls emitted before content in assistant messages
- Thinking content stripped from assistant history (strip_thinking)
- User, tool, and system content trimmed (template does | trim)
- Empty system message still emits system turn (check role, not content)
- Nested object properties rendered recursively with required field
- Array items specification rendered for array-type properties
- OBJECT/ARRAY type-specific rendering comma logic matches template
Also adds Required field to api.ToolProperty for nested object schemas,
replaces old gemma4_test.go with comprehensive gemma4_reference_test.go,
and commits the Jinja2 template as testdata for verification.
* gemma4: fix MoE fused gate_up split and multiline tool-call arg parsing
- Text MoE: split `ffn_gate_up_exps` into contiguous `[gate|up]` halves instead of stride-2 slices.
- Parser: escape control characters in `<|"|>...<|"|>` string literals when converting tool-call args to JSON.
- Fixes warnings like `invalid character '\n' in string literal` for multiline tool arguments.
- Add Gemma4 parser regressions for multiline tool-call args and `gemma4ArgsToJSON`.
* cmd: simplify audio input to dropped file attachments
* gemma4: use full SWA memory for better cache reuse
* gemma4: initialize clamps after backend load
* convert: align gemma4 audio tensor renames with llama.cpp
* Remove redundant comments in gemma4 vision model
* Format Gemma4 MoE block field alignment
* use 4096 kvcache.NewSWAMemCache
* convert: support new Gemma4 audio_tower tensor naming (#15221)

Adds a temporary global flag to renderers that causes renderers to always
render images as [img]. In a follow up change, we will consider making this
the default, and this flag could eventually be removed
* changing initial status to take into consideration prefill
* Add seperate strings for content and thinking builder
* thinking tests
* remove white space from string before closing think tag
* working (other than tool call is the incorrect order) for tool calls and tools
* Tests work, other than image tags (tests do not go through server) and tools (not in the correct order, but contents are the same)
* testing for qwen3vl parser - toolparser is working
* made changes to JSON tool parser, wraps the TollCallFunction with a TollCall object
* Working parser for thinking models - assumes state of thinking, emits unambiguous content in thinking, does not call tool call in thinking
* changed the parser to start with collecting content
* thinking prefill
* add hasThinkingSupport parameter to parser
* qwen3-vl -> qwen3-vl-instruct for renderer/parser
* Add hasThinkingSupport=false to QwenVLParser

The format qwen3-coder uses is relatively unique, both in rendering and
in parsing. To implement parsing, I wrote a custom parser in similar
style to harmony. For the rendering, I found that the logic would be
much more difficult to follow in a template, so I introduced the concept
of a built-in renderer that uses go code, rather than a template to
generate prompts.
I set us up for future built-in parsers and renderers by making it so
they can be specified in a Modelfile like so:
```
RENDERER "qwen3-coder"
PARSER "qwen3-coder"
```
These need to be provided explicitly because the architecture alone is
not enough to understand what format the model expects to receive, and
what format we expect it to output (e.g., qwen3-coder is `qwen3moe`,
which includes other qwen3-family models as well)
I haven't converted harmony to be one of these "built-ins" yet, since
some of it is in flux with the changes @ParthSareen has been making to
move harmony to the runner. It is likely that many other built-ins will
need to move to the runner as well, but I'm able to slightly defer that
decision since qwen3-coder doesn't have thinking (and therefore doesn't
need to be in the runner to make structured outputs work). I expect to
unify harmony with this approach very soon.
Whether a particular model supports tools or thinking was previously
inferred from templates, but without a template we now also use the
parser itself to declare what it supports. If we have future models that
re-use the same parsing format, but have different capabilities, we'll
want to parameterize them and give them different names to be specified
as a `PARSER`.
Misc changes:
- I worked on the renderer by diffing outputs from the reference
implementation and ours. To make it easier to do this, I extended
<https://github.com/ollama/ollama/pull/11875> to also support
returning the prompt via the openai compat layer
