Pre-release

ggml-org/llama.cppb10750Sep 1, 2026by github-actions[bot]

AI Summary

Optimized KV-cache history lookups by leveraging the existing sequence position index, resulting in improved throughput for long contexts.

Key Highlights

  • Optimized get_prev_tokens() using the seq_pos index instead of rebuilding a hash map.
  • Improved performance for Qwen3.8-Flash-Next UD-Q4_K_XL (69.3 -> 72.7 t/s).
  • Removed get_prev_tokens() implementation in favor of direct lookup.

kv-cells: look up the n-gram history in the sequence position index (#28040)

get_prev_tokens() rebuilt a (seq, pos) -> token hash map on every
ubatch by walking all used cells, while llama_kv_cells already keeps
an ordered index of the positions of each sequence in seq_pos, updated
on every cell mutation to serve seq_pos_min() and seq_pos_max().

The index now stores (pos, cell) pairs in a std::set instead of a
position -> count map, so a repeated position (cache reuse via rm + add,
vision inputs with shared positions) yields distinct entries and the
removal of a cell erases its own pair. The new seq_pos_tok_le() returns
the token of the cell at the largest position <= p in logarithmic time,
which is exactly what the old window lookup and its M-RoPE gap fallback
computed together.

get_prev_tokens() shrinks to a direct lookup per (token, offset) and
for_each_token_in() goes away with its only caller. The kv-cache keeps
no n-gram logic of its own.

Measured on Qwen3.8-Flash-Next UD-Q4_K_XL at 71k context, alternating
two binaries with the first run discarded: tg 69.3 -> 72.7 t/s (+4.9%),
pp unchanged at ~2720 t/s, greedy output identical, needle retrieved.
