feat(llamacpp): surface model context window and modalities at /v1/models - #719
Conversation
…dels llama-server reports the context it is running with and its multimodal support, but the plain OpenAI decode dropped both, leaving local GGUFs with no metadata at all — they are not in the model catalog either. Context resolves strongest-first: meta.n_ctx (per-slot, per-model), then /props for builds predating it, then n_ctx_train as an upper-bound fallback. The trained context is deliberately last: llama-server's --ctx-size default sits far below it, so advertising it would overstate the real limit. Modes stay unset so the registry's ID heuristic keeps classifying local embedding and reranking models.

📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe llama.cpp provider now lists models from llama-server and exposes context-window and modality metadata. The registry preserves provider metadata, and enrichment merges it with catalog metadata. Documentation and tests cover the new behavior. ChangesProvider metadata discovery and enrichment
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR improves model metadata discovery and precedence, but a catalog refresh can leave outdated metadata attached to models that no longer match the catalog, and unrecognized modality values may be exposed as public capabilities. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Possibly related PRs

/props is optional model-metadata enrichment, but it uses rootClient, which is also used for native passthrough routes. Persistent retryable /props failures consume that shared client's retry and breaker budget. Once the breaker opens, healthy native endpoints such as /health, /rerank, /tokenize, and /slots are rejected locally with 503 even though /v1/models remains available. Use an isolated client or breaker for enrichment, or bypass retry and breaker accounting for this optional request.
Artifacts
Shared-breaker regression test
- This authored deterministic Go test drives `/props` 502, 503, and 504 failures followed by native `/health` and compatible `/v1/models` requests, confirming the shared-breaker failure takeaway.
Shared-breaker observed output
- This captured `go test` output shows three `/props` attempts for each 502, 503, and 504 case, local `/health` 503 with zero upstream calls, and continued `/v1/models` access, confirming the bug takeaway.
- This authored parent-revision test verifies that before the PR no `/props` call occurred and `/health` reached the upstream with HTTP 200, establishing the comparison takeaway.
- This captured parent-revision test output reports `/v1/models=1 /props=0 /health upstream=1 status=200`, establishing the pre-PR behavior takeaway.
Enrich replaced a model's metadata wholesale whenever the catalog knew its ID, discarding what the provider reported about its own deployment. The catalog lookup falls back to a provider-agnostic ID match, so a local llama.cpp alias colliding with a catalog entry lost its real context window and gained one the server would reject. The catalog is now the base and the provider's report the override, merged field-wise, so catalog-only fields (display names, pricing, rankings) still land while the provider wins on what it actually knows. Merging onto the model's own previous output would pin stale catalog values across refreshes, so ModelInfo keeps the provider's pristine report in Discovered and every pass recomputes from it. All ModelInfo construction now goes through newModelInfo so that value cannot be missed.

For a one-model server, ListModels waits for best-effort /props enrichment after /models has already succeeded. Because this call uses rootClient, retryable responses incur its normal retry delays and count against the circuit breaker also used by native passthrough routes. The runtime check showed retryable /props responses adding 121–122ms to each listing and a hanging response consuming the caller deadline; after two retry-exhausted enrichment requests, a healthy /health request was rejected locally without reaching the server. Use an isolated, tightly bounded enrichment client or prevent this optional request from consuming shared retry and breaker capacity.
Artifacts
Executable llama.cpp ListModels runtime harness
- The in-package httptest harness exercised healthy, retryable, hanging, and shared-breaker flows against the actual provider code, showing the claimed behaviors.
Healthy ListModels baseline output
- The baseline command completed one-model discovery with a healthy `/props` response in 1.250663ms, showing the normal comparison condition.
Retrying and hanging props runtime output
- The executed runtime test recorded 121-122ms retry delays, a 141ms deadline-bound hanging request, and rejection of healthy `/health` with zero upstream calls, proving both claims.
Post-harness focused package validation
- The focused llama.cpp provider package test passed after the temporary harness was removed, showing no repository source change was retained.
/props enrichment shared rootClient with native passthrough, so a server answering it with a retryable status spent that client's retry budget and tripped its circuit breaker: six discovery cycles against a 503 produced 20 upstream attempts and then rejected /health locally. It now uses a dedicated client with no retries and no breaker, bounded by a short timeout so a non-answering server cannot stall discovery. Also drops unrecognized /props modalities instead of publishing them as capabilities, and resets a model to its provider-reported metadata when a catalog refresh stops matching it, so catalog-only fields do not linger.

Closes the request in #698: extract model metadata from llama.cpp's model endpoint, context size in particular.
Two commits: the llama.cpp extraction, and a metadata-precedence fix without which the extracted values get discarded.

BecauseresolveDirectfalls back to a provider-agnosticlist.Models[modelID]match, a local alias colliding with a catalog entry — e.g.--alias gemma-3-4b-it, the exact command in our own docs — lost its real 4096 context and got the catalog's 131072 instead, plus droppedvision.The catalog is now the base and the provider's report the override, merged field-wise via the existing
MergeMetadata. Catalog-only fields (display name, pricing, rankings, modes) still land; the provider wins on what it actually knows.Why the extra field. Merging onto the model's own previous output would pin stale catalog values forever: once pass 1 wrote context 128000, pass 2 would treat that as an override and beat a corrected 200000 from a refreshed catalog. So
ModelInfokeeps the provider's pristine report inDiscovered, and every pass recomputes from the same inputs. AllModelInfoconstruction goes through a newnewModelInfoso that value can't be missed by future call sites. Cache-loaded models carry no metadata, soDiscoveredis correctly nil until the first live refresh.This changes documented precedence for all discovery providers (Gemini, Cohere, OpenRouter, Chutes, Ollama), which now win over the catalog on the fields they report.
