Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 4a652fdcc1 Size a llama.cpp model's memory from its own shape, not its file size
The serve form asked for weights plus half again plus two gigabytes. That
ignores the one thing that varies most: the KV cache. At the same 16k pool,
the models on the live mirror need from 0.44 GB of cache (Qwen2.5-1.5B, two
KV heads) to 5.25 GB (Gemma-2-9B, 256-wide heads) — so the flat guess
overcounted the small models, which on 7 GB nodes means refusing placements
that fit, and undercounted the ones with wide or many KV heads, which means
an engine killed for memory.

The GGUF header already carries the shape. The reader now also takes each
architecture's block_count, head counts, embedding length and key/value
lengths, reading past general.* until the tokenizer — and a header whose
tokenizer comes first and runs past the fetched bytes still returns what it
has rather than failing. The estimate is weights, plus the f16 KV cache for
the context pool (llama.cpp's --ctx-size, which --parallel divides rather
than multiplies), plus a gigabyte and five percent for the engine. It reuses
the header the servability check already fetched, and the form says what it
is made of. Checked against all twelve GGUF models on the live mirror, whose
shapes read back as their published architectures.
