Commit 8839a71c exposed AMDGPU_TARGETS as an ARG/ENV in
Dockerfile.llama-cpp so GPU targets could be overridden, but never
wired the value through the CI workflow inputs. Without it, Docker
receives AMDGPU_TARGETS="" which overrides the Makefile's ?= default,
causing all hipblas builds to compile only for gfx906 regardless of
the target list in the Makefile.
Add amdgpu-targets as a workflow_call input with the same default list
as the Makefile, and pass it as AMDGPU_TARGETS in the build-args of
both the push and PR build steps.

* feat(backends): add sglang

* fix(sglang): force AVX-512 CXXFLAGS and disable CI e2e job
sgl-kernel's shm.cpp uses __m512 AVX-512 intrinsics unconditionally;
-march=native fails on CI runners without AVX-512 in /proc/cpuinfo.
Force -march=sapphirerapids so the build always succeeds, matching
sglang upstream's docker/xeon.Dockerfile recipe.
The resulting binary still requires an AVX-512 capable CPU at runtime,
so disable tests-sglang-grpc in test-extra.yml for the same reason
tests-vllm-grpc is disabled. Local runs with make test-extra-backend-sglang
still work on hosts with the right SIMD baseline.

* fix(sglang): patch CMakeLists.txt instead of CXXFLAGS for AVX-512
CXXFLAGS with -march=sapphirerapids was being overridden by
add_compile_options(-march=native) in sglang's CPU CMakeLists.txt,
since CMake appends those flags after CXXFLAGS. Sed-patch the
CMakeLists.txt directly after cloning to replace -march=native.

* feat(backend): add tinygrad multimodal backend
Wire tinygrad as a new Python backend covering LLM text generation with
native tool-call extraction, embeddings, Stable Diffusion 1.x image
generation, and Whisper speech-to-text from a single self-contained
container.
Backend (`backend/python/tinygrad/`):
- `backend.py` gRPC servicer with LLM Predict/PredictStream (auto-detects
Llama / Qwen2 / Mistral architecture from `config.json`, supports
safetensors and GGUF), Embedding via mean-pooled last hidden state,
GenerateImage via the vendored SD1.x pipeline, AudioTranscription +
AudioTranscriptionStream via the vendored Whisper inference loop, plus
Tokenize / ModelMetadata / Status / Free.
- Vendored upstream model code under `vendor/` (MIT, headers preserved):
llama.py with an added `qkv_bias` flag for Qwen2-family bias support
and an `embed()` method that returns the last hidden state, plus
clip.py, unet.py, stable_diffusion.py (trimmed to drop the MLPerf
training branch that pulls `mlperf.initializers`), audio_helpers.py
and whisper.py (trimmed to drop the pyaudio listener).
- Pluggable tool-call parsers under `tool_parsers/`: hermes (Qwen2.5 /
Hermes), llama3_json (Llama 3.1+), qwen3_xml (Qwen 3), mistral
(Mistral / Mixtral). Auto-selected from model architecture or `Options`.
- `install.sh` pins Python 3.11.14 (tinygrad >=0.12 needs >=3.11; the
default portable python is 3.10).
- `package.sh` bundles libLLVM.so.1 + libedit/libtinfo/libgomp/libsndfile
into the scratch image. `run.sh` sets `CPU_LLVM=1` and `LLVM_PATH` so
tinygrad's CPU device uses the in-process libLLVM JIT instead of
shelling out to the missing `clang` binary.
- Local unit tests for Health and the four parsers in `test.py`.
Build wiring:
- Root `Makefile`: `.NOTPARALLEL`, `prepare-test-extra`, `test-extra`,
`BACKEND_TINYGRAD = tinygrad|python|.|false|true`,
docker-build-target eval, and `docker-build-backends` aggregator.
- `.github/workflows/backend.yml`: cpu / cuda12 / cuda13 build matrix
entries (mirrors the transformers backend placement).
- `backend/index.yaml`: `&tinygrad` meta + cpu/cuda12/cuda13 image
entries (latest + development).
E2E test wiring:
- `tests/e2e-backends/backend_test.go` gains an `image` capability that
exercises GenerateImage and asserts a non-empty PNG is written to
`dst`. New `BACKEND_TEST_IMAGE_PROMPT` / `BACKEND_TEST_IMAGE_STEPS`
knobs.
- Five new make targets next to `test-extra-backend-vllm`:
- `test-extra-backend-tinygrad` — Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct + hermes,
mirrors the vllm target 1:1 (5/9 specs in ~57s).
- `test-extra-backend-tinygrad-embeddings` — same model, embeddings
via LLM hidden state (3/9 in ~10s).
- `test-extra-backend-tinygrad-sd` — stable-diffusion-v1-5 mirror,
health/load/image (3/9 in ~10min, 4 diffusion steps on CPU).
- `test-extra-backend-tinygrad-whisper` — openai/whisper-tiny.en
against jfk.wav from whisper.cpp samples (4/9 in ~49s).
- `test-extra-backend-tinygrad-all` aggregate.
All four targets land green on the first MVP pass: 15 specs total, 0
failures across LLM+tools, embeddings, image generation, and speech
transcription.
* refactor(tinygrad): collapse to a single backend image
tinygrad generates its own GPU kernels (PTX renderer for CUDA, the
autogen ctypes wrappers for HIP / Metal / WebGPU) and never links
against cuDNN, cuBLAS, or any toolkit-version-tied library. The only
runtime dependency that varies across hosts is the driver's libcuda.so.1
/ libamdhip64.so, which are injected into the container at run time by
the nvidia-container / rocm runtimes. So unlike torch- or vLLM-based
backends, there is no reason to ship per-CUDA-version images.
- Drop the cuda12-tinygrad and cuda13-tinygrad build-matrix entries
from .github/workflows/backend.yml. The sole remaining entry is
renamed to -tinygrad (from -cpu-tinygrad) since it is no longer
CPU-only.
- Collapse backend/index.yaml to a single meta + development pair.
The meta anchor carries the latest uri directly; the development
entry points at the master tag.
- run.sh picks the tinygrad device at launch time by probing
/usr/lib/... for libcuda.so.1 / libamdhip64.so. When libcuda is
visible we set CUDA=1 + CUDA_PTX=1 so tinygrad uses its own PTX
renderer (avoids any nvrtc/toolkit dependency); otherwise we fall
back to HIP or CLANG. CPU_LLVM=1 + LLVM_PATH keep the in-process
libLLVM JIT for the CLANG path.
- backend.py's _select_tinygrad_device() is trimmed to a CLANG-only
fallback since production device selection happens in run.sh.
Re-ran test-extra-backend-tinygrad after the change:

* feat(backend): add turboquant llama.cpp-fork backend
turboquant is a llama.cpp fork (TheTom/llama-cpp-turboquant, branch
feature/turboquant-kv-cache) that adds a TurboQuant KV-cache scheme.
It ships as a first-class backend reusing backend/cpp/llama-cpp sources
via a thin wrapper Makefile: each variant target copies ../llama-cpp
into a sibling build dir and invokes llama-cpp's build-llama-cpp-grpc-server
with LLAMA_REPO/LLAMA_VERSION overridden to point at the fork. No
duplication of grpc-server.cpp — upstream fixes flow through automatically.
Wires up the full matrix (CPU, CUDA 12/13, L4T, L4T-CUDA13, ROCm, SYCL
f32/f16, Vulkan) in backend.yml and the gallery entries in index.yaml,
adds a tests-turboquant-grpc e2e job driven by BACKEND_TEST_CACHE_TYPE_K/V=q8_0
to exercise the KV-cache config path (backend_test.go gains dedicated env
vars wired into ModelOptions.CacheTypeKey/Value — a generic improvement
usable by any llama.cpp-family backend), and registers a nightly auto-bump
PR in bump_deps.yaml tracking feature/turboquant-kv-cache.
scripts/changed-backends.js gets a special-case so edits to
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/ also retrigger the turboquant CI pipeline, since
the wrapper reuses those sources.
* feat(turboquant): carry upstream patches against fork API drift
turboquant branched from llama.cpp before upstream commit 66060008
("server: respect the ignore eos flag", #21203) which added the
`logit_bias_eog` field to `server_context_meta` and a matching
parameter to `server_task::params_from_json_cmpl`. The shared
backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp depends on that field, so
building it against the fork unmodified fails.
Cherry-pick that commit as a patch file under
backend/cpp/turboquant/patches/ and apply it to the cloned fork
sources via a new apply-patches.sh hook called from the wrapper
Makefile. Simplifies the build flow too: instead of hopping through
llama-cpp's build-llama-cpp-grpc-server indirection, the wrapper now
drives the copied Makefile directly (clone -> patch -> build).
Drop the corresponding patch whenever the fork catches up with
upstream — the build fails fast if a patch stops applying, which
is the signal to retire it.
* docs: add turboquant backend section + clarify cache_type_k/v
Document the new turboquant (llama.cpp fork with TurboQuant KV-cache)
backend alongside the existing llama-cpp / ik-llama-cpp sections in
features/text-generation.md: when to pick it, how to install it from
the gallery, and a YAML example showing backend: turboquant together
with cache_type_k / cache_type_v.
Also expand the cache_type_k / cache_type_v table rows in
advanced/model-configuration.md to spell out the accepted llama.cpp
quantization values and note that these fields apply to all
llama.cpp-family backends, not just vLLM.
* feat(turboquant): patch ggml-rpc GGML_OP_COUNT assertion
The fork adds new GGML ops bringing GGML_OP_COUNT to 97, but
ggml/include/ggml-rpc.h static-asserts it equals 96, breaking
the GGML_RPC=ON build paths (turboquant-grpc / turboquant-rpc-server).
Carry a one-line patch that updates the expected count so the
assertion holds. Drop this patch whenever the fork fixes it upstream.
* feat(turboquant): allow turbo* KV-cache types and exercise them in e2e
The shared backend/cpp/llama-cpp/grpc-server.cpp carries its own
allow-list of accepted KV-cache types (kv_cache_types[]) and rejects
anything outside it before the value reaches llama.cpp's parser. That
list only contains the standard llama.cpp types — turbo2/turbo3/turbo4
would throw "Unsupported cache type" at LoadModel time, meaning
nothing the LocalAI gRPC layer accepted was actually fork-specific.
Add a build-time augmentation step (patch-grpc-server.sh, called from
the turboquant wrapper Makefile) that inserts GGML_TYPE_TURBO2_0/3_0/4_0
into the allow-list of the *copied* grpc-server.cpp under
turboquant-<flavor>-build/. The original file under backend/cpp/llama-cpp/
is never touched, so the stock llama-cpp build keeps compiling against
vanilla upstream which has no notion of those enum values.
Switch test-extra-backend-turboquant to set
BACKEND_TEST_CACHE_TYPE_K=turbo3 / _V=turbo3 so the e2e gRPC suite
actually runs the fork's TurboQuant KV-cache code paths (turbo3 also
auto-enables flash_attention in the fork). Picking q8_0 here would
only re-test the standard llama.cpp path that the upstream llama-cpp
backend already covers.
Refresh the docs (text-generation.md + model-configuration.md) to
list turbo2/turbo3/turbo4 explicitly and call out that you only get
the TurboQuant code path with this backend + a turbo* cache type.
* fix(turboquant): rewrite patch-grpc-server.sh in awk, not python3
The builder image (ubuntu:24.04 stage-2 in Dockerfile.turboquant)
does not install python3, so the python-based augmentation step
errored with `python3: command not found` at make time. Switch to
awk, which ships in coreutils and is already available everywhere
the rest of the wrapper Makefile runs.

* fix(schema): serialize ToolCallID and Reasoning in Messages.ToProto
The ToProto conversion was dropping tool_call_id and reasoning_content
even though both proto and Go fields existed, breaking multi-turn tool
calling and reasoning passthrough to backends.
* refactor(config): introduce backend hook system and migrate llama-cpp defaults
Adds RegisterBackendHook/runBackendHooks so each backend can register
default-filling functions that run during ModelConfig.SetDefaults().
Migrates the existing GGUF guessing logic into hooks_llamacpp.go,
registered for both 'llama-cpp' and the empty backend (auto-detect).
Removes the old guesser.go shim.
* feat(config): add vLLM parser defaults hook and importer auto-detection
Introduces parser_defaults.json mapping model families to vLLM
tool_parser/reasoning_parser names, with longest-pattern-first matching.
The vllmDefaults hook auto-fills tool_parser and reasoning_parser
options at load time for known families, while the VLLMImporter writes
the same values into generated YAML so users can review and edit them.
Adds tests covering MatchParserDefaults, hook registration via
SetDefaults, and the user-override behavior.
* feat(vllm): wire native tool/reasoning parsers + chat deltas + logprobs
- Use vLLM's ToolParserManager/ReasoningParserManager to extract structured
output (tool calls, reasoning content) instead of reimplementing parsing
- Convert proto Messages to dicts and pass tools to apply_chat_template
- Emit ChatDelta with content/reasoning_content/tool_calls in Reply
- Extract prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, and logprobs from output
- Replace boolean GuidedDecoding with proper GuidedDecodingParams from Grammar
- Add TokenizeString and Free RPC methods
- Fix missing `time` import used by load_video()
* feat(vllm): CPU support + shared utils + vllm-omni feature parity
- Split vllm install per acceleration: move generic `vllm` out of
requirements-after.txt into per-profile after files (cublas12, hipblas,
intel) and add CPU wheel URL for cpu-after.txt
- requirements-cpu.txt now pulls torch==2.7.0+cpu from PyTorch CPU index
- backend/index.yaml: register cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development variants
- New backend/python/common/vllm_utils.py: shared parse_options,
messages_to_dicts, setup_parsers helpers (used by both vllm backends)
- vllm-omni: replace hardcoded chat template with tokenizer.apply_chat_template,
wire native parsers via shared utils, emit ChatDelta with token counts,
add TokenizeString and Free RPCs, detect CPU and set VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE
- Add test_cpu_inference.py: standalone script to validate CPU build with
a small model (Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct)
* fix(vllm): CPU build compatibility with vllm 0.14.1
Validated end-to-end on CPU with Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct (LoadModel, Predict,
TokenizeString, Free all working).
- requirements-cpu-after.txt: pin vllm to 0.14.1+cpu (pre-built wheel from
GitHub releases) for x86_64 and aarch64. vllm 0.14.1 is the newest CPU
wheel whose torch dependency resolves against published PyTorch builds
(torch==2.9.1+cpu). Later vllm CPU wheels currently require
torch==2.10.0+cpu which is only available on the PyTorch test channel
with incompatible torchvision.
- requirements-cpu.txt: bump torch to 2.9.1+cpu, add torchvision/torchaudio
so uv resolves them consistently from the PyTorch CPU index.
- install.sh: add --index-strategy=unsafe-best-match for CPU builds so uv
can mix the PyTorch index and PyPI for transitive deps (matches the
existing intel profile behaviour).
- backend.py LoadModel: vllm >= 0.14 removed AsyncLLMEngine.get_model_config
so the old code path errored out with AttributeError on model load.
Switch to the new get_tokenizer()/tokenizer accessor with a fallback
to building the tokenizer directly from request.Model.
* fix(vllm): tool parser constructor compat + e2e tool calling test
Concrete vLLM tool parsers override the abstract base's __init__ and
drop the tools kwarg (e.g. Hermes2ProToolParser only takes tokenizer).
Instantiating with tools= raised TypeError which was silently caught,
leaving chat_deltas.tool_calls empty.
Retry the constructor without the tools kwarg on TypeError — tools
aren't required by these parsers since extract_tool_calls finds tool
syntax in the raw model output directly.
Validated with Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct + hermes parser on CPU:
the backend correctly returns ToolCallDelta{name='get_weather',
arguments='{"location": "Paris, France"}'} in ChatDelta.
test_tool_calls.py is a standalone smoke test that spawns the gRPC
backend, sends a chat completion with tools, and asserts the response
contains a structured tool call.
* ci(backend): build cpu-vllm container image
Add the cpu-vllm variant to the backend container build matrix so the
image registered in backend/index.yaml (cpu-vllm / cpu-vllm-development)
is actually produced by CI.
Follows the same pattern as the other CPU python backends
(cpu-diffusers, cpu-chatterbox, etc.) with build-type='' and no CUDA.
backend_pr.yml auto-picks this up via its matrix filter from backend.yml.
* test(e2e-backends): add tools capability + HF model name support
Extends tests/e2e-backends to cover backends that:
- Resolve HuggingFace model ids natively (vllm, vllm-omni) instead of
loading a local file: BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME is passed verbatim as
ModelOptions.Model with no download/ModelFile.
- Parse tool calls into ChatDelta.tool_calls: new "tools" capability
sends a Predict with a get_weather function definition and asserts
the Reply contains a matching ToolCallDelta. Uses UseTokenizerTemplate
with OpenAI-style Messages so the backend can wire tools into the
model's chat template.
- Need backend-specific Options[]: BACKEND_TEST_OPTIONS lets a test set
e.g. "tool_parser:hermes,reasoning_parser:qwen3" at LoadModel time.
Adds make target test-extra-backend-vllm that:
- docker-build-vllm
- loads Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct
- runs health,load,predict,stream,tools with tool_parser:hermes
Drops backend/python/vllm/test_{cpu_inference,tool_calls}.py — those
standalone scripts were scaffolding used while bringing up the Python
backend; the e2e-backends harness now covers the same ground uniformly
alongside llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp.
* ci(test-extra): run vllm e2e tests on CPU
Adds tests-vllm-grpc to the test-extra workflow, mirroring the
llama-cpp and ik-llama-cpp gRPC jobs. Triggers when files under
backend/python/vllm/ change (or on run-all), builds the local-ai
vllm container image, and runs the tests/e2e-backends harness with
BACKEND_TEST_MODEL_NAME=Qwen/Qwen2.5-0.5B-Instruct, tool_parser:hermes,
and the tools capability enabled.
Uses ubuntu-latest (no GPU) — vllm runs on CPU via the cpu-vllm
wheel we pinned in requirements-cpu-after.txt. Frees disk space
before the build since the docker image + torch + vllm wheel is
sizeable.
* fix(vllm): build from source on CI to avoid SIGILL on prebuilt wheel
The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel from GitHub releases is compiled with
SIMD instructions (AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 or AMX-BF16) that not every CPU
supports. GitHub Actions ubuntu-latest runners SIGILL when vllm spawns
the model_executor.models.registry subprocess for introspection, so
LoadModel never reaches the actual inference path.
- install.sh: when FROM_SOURCE=true on a CPU build, temporarily hide
requirements-cpu-after.txt so installRequirements installs the base
deps + torch CPU without pulling the prebuilt wheel, then clone vllm
and compile it with VLLM_TARGET_DEVICE=cpu. The resulting binaries
target the host's actual CPU.
- backend/Dockerfile.python: accept a FROM_SOURCE build-arg and expose
it as an ENV so install.sh sees it during `make`.
- Makefile docker-build-backend: forward FROM_SOURCE as --build-arg
when set, so backends that need source builds can opt in.
- Makefile test-extra-backend-vllm: call docker-build-vllm via a
recursive $(MAKE) invocation so FROM_SOURCE flows through.
- .github/workflows/test-extra.yml: set FROM_SOURCE=true on the
tests-vllm-grpc job. Slower but reliable — the prebuilt wheel only
works on hosts that share the build-time SIMD baseline.
Answers 'did you test locally?': yes, end-to-end on my local machine
with the prebuilt wheel (CPU supports AVX-512 VNNI). The CI runner CPU
gap was not covered locally — this commit plugs that gap.
* ci(vllm): use bigger-runner instead of source build
The prebuilt vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel requires SIMD instructions (AVX-512
VNNI/BF16) that stock ubuntu-latest GitHub runners don't support —
vllm.model_executor.models.registry SIGILLs on import during LoadModel.
Source compilation works but takes 30-40 minutes per CI run, which is
too slow for an e2e smoke test. Instead, switch tests-vllm-grpc to the
bigger-runner self-hosted label (already used by backend.yml for the
llama-cpp CUDA build) — that hardware has the required SIMD baseline
and the prebuilt wheel runs cleanly.
FROM_SOURCE=true is kept as an opt-in escape hatch:
- install.sh still has the CPU source-build path for hosts that need it
- backend/Dockerfile.python still declares the ARG + ENV
- Makefile docker-build-backend still forwards the build-arg when set
Default CI path uses the fast prebuilt wheel; source build can be
re-enabled by exporting FROM_SOURCE=true in the environment.
* ci(vllm): install make + build deps on bigger-runner
bigger-runner is a bare self-hosted runner used by backend.yml for
docker image builds — it has docker but not the usual ubuntu-latest
toolchain. The make-based test target needs make, build-essential
(cgo in 'go test'), and curl/unzip (the Makefile protoc target
downloads protoc from github releases).
protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc come via 'go install' in the
install-go-tools target, which setup-go makes possible.
* ci(vllm): install libnuma1 + libgomp1 on bigger-runner
The vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel ships a _C C++ extension that dlopens
libnuma.so.1 at import time. When the runner host doesn't have it,
the extension silently fails to register its torch ops, so
EngineCore crashes on init_device with:
AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
'init_cpu_threads_env'
Also add libgomp1 (OpenMP runtime, used by torch CPU kernels) to be
safe on stripped-down runners.
* feat(vllm): bundle libnuma/libgomp via package.sh
The vllm CPU wheel ships a _C extension that dlopens libnuma.so.1 at
import time; torch's CPU kernels in turn use libgomp.so.1 (OpenMP).
Without these on the host, vllm._C silently fails to register its
torch ops and EngineCore crashes with:
AttributeError: '_OpNamespace' '_C_utils' object has no attribute
'init_cpu_threads_env'
Rather than asking every user to install libnuma1/libgomp1 on their
host (or every LocalAI base image to ship them), bundle them into
the backend image itself — same pattern fish-speech and the GPU libs
already use. libbackend.sh adds ${EDIR}/lib to LD_LIBRARY_PATH at
run time so the bundled copies are picked up automatically.
- backend/python/vllm/package.sh (new): copies libnuma.so.1 and
libgomp.so.1 from the builder's multilib paths into ${BACKEND}/lib,
preserving soname symlinks. Runs during Dockerfile.python's
'Run backend-specific packaging' step (which already invokes
package.sh if present).
- backend/Dockerfile.python: install libnuma1 + libgomp1 in the
builder stage so package.sh has something to copy (the Ubuntu
base image otherwise only has libgomp in the gcc dep chain).
- test-extra.yml: drop the workaround that installed these libs on
the runner host — with the backend image self-contained, the
runner no longer needs them, and the test now exercises the
packaging path end-to-end the way a production host would.
* ci(vllm): disable tests-vllm-grpc job (heterogeneous runners)
Both ubuntu-latest and bigger-runner have inconsistent CPU baselines:
some instances support the AVX-512 VNNI/BF16 instructions the prebuilt
vllm 0.14.1+cpu wheel was compiled with, others SIGILL on import of
vllm.model_executor.models.registry. The libnuma packaging fix doesn't
help when the wheel itself can't be loaded.
FROM_SOURCE=true compiles vllm against the actual host CPU and works
everywhere, but takes 30-50 minutes per run — too slow for a smoke
test on every PR.
Comment out the job for now. The test itself is intact and passes
locally; run it via 'make test-extra-backend-vllm' on a host with the
required SIMD baseline. Re-enable when:
- we have a self-hosted runner label with guaranteed AVX-512 VNNI/BF16, or
- vllm publishes a CPU wheel with a wider baseline, or
- we set up a docker layer cache that makes FROM_SOURCE acceptable
The detect-changes vllm output, the test harness changes (tests/
e2e-backends + tools cap), the make target (test-extra-backend-vllm),
the package.sh and the Dockerfile/install.sh plumbing all stay in
place.

Signed-off-by: eureka928 <meobius123@gmail.com>
* fix(whisperx): pin torch CPU variant to fix uv resolution failure
Pin torch==2.8.0+cpu so uv resolves the CPU wheel from the extra
index instead of picking torch==2.8.0+cu128 from PyPI, which pulls
unresolvable CUDA dependencies.
Signed-off-by: eureka928 <meobius123@gmail.com>
* fix(whisperx): use unsafe-best-match index strategy to fix uv resolution failure
uv's default first-match strategy finds torch on PyPI before checking
the extra index, causing it to pick torch==2.8.0+cu128 instead of the
CPU variant. This makes whisperx's transitive torch dependency
unresolvable. Using unsafe-best-match lets uv consider all indexes.

* fix(whisperx): drop +cpu local version suffix to fix uv resolution failure
PEP 440 ==2.8.0 matches 2.8.0+cpu from the extra index, avoiding the
issue where uv cannot locate an explicit +cpu local version specifier.
This aligns with the pattern used by all other CPU backends.

* fix(backends): drop +rocm local version suffixes from hipblas requirements to fix uv resolution
uv cannot resolve PEP 440 local version specifiers (e.g. +rocm6.4,
+rocm6.3) in pinned requirements. The --extra-index-url already points
to the correct ROCm wheel index and --index-strategy unsafe-best-match
(set in libbackend.sh) ensures the ROCm variant is preferred.
Applies the same fix as 7f5d72e8 (which resolved this for +cpu) across
all 14 hipblas requirements files.

* revert: scope hipblas suffix fix to whisperx only
Reverts changes to non-whisperx hipblas requirements files per
maintainer review — other backends are building fine with the +rocm
local version suffix.

Some datacenter setups might be stuck with the 5.x kernel which doesn't
play well with CUDA >=12.9. To incrase compatibility with the CUDA 12.x
branch, downgrade to 12.8. For newer systems, it is still suggested to
use CUDA 13.x wherever compatible.

This image is for HW prior Jetpack 7. Jetpack 7 broke compatibility with
older devices (which are still in use) such as AGX Orin or Jetsons.
While we do have l4t-cuda-13 images with sbsa support for new Nvidia
devices (Thor, DGX, etc). For older HW we are forced to keep old images
around as 24.04 does not seem to be supported.
