This commit updates ggml_vk_instance_validation_ext_available() to
check for VK_EXT_validation_features instead of
VK_KHR_portability_enumeration.
Based on how the returned boolean is used later in the code (to enable
both the validation layer and the VK_EXT_validation_features extension),
it appears the function may have been intended to check for the
validation layer features extension.
* remove try/catch
This was a left over from a previous iteration where I was explicitly
quering for a specific validation layer first, which would throw.

llama : fix incorrect model type for Gemma 270M (#15764)
This commit fixes the model type for the Gemma 270M model in
llama_model.cpp which should be LLM_TYPE_270M. I incorrectly added this
previously as LLM_TYPE_537M which was wrong.
The motivation for this is that it causes the model to not be identified
properly when using tools like llama-bench. For example:
```console
$ ./build/bin/llama-bench -m models/gemma-3-270m-Q8_0.gguf
| model | size | ...
| ------------------------------ | ---------: | ...
| gemma3 ?B Q8_0 | 271.81 MiB | ...
| gemma3 ?B Q8_0 | 271.81 MiB | ...
```
With the changes in this commit the output will be:
```console
$ ./build/bin/llama-bench -m models/gemma-3-270m-Q8_0.gguf
| model | size | ...
| ------------------------------ | ---------: | ...
| gemma3 270M Q8_0 | 271.81 MiB | ...
| gemma3 270M Q8_0 | 271.81 MiB | ...
```
This commit updates the bash scripts to use env instead of using
hardcoded /bin/bash in the shebang line.
The motivation for this is that some systems may have bash installed
in a different location, and using /usr/bin/env bash ensures that
the script will use the first bash interpreter found in the user's
PATH, making the scripts more portable across different environments.
* model-conversion : rename script to .py [no ci]
This commit renames run-casual-gen-embeddings-org.sh to

This commit adds a curl script to the model-conversion examples
which is currently missing. This script is required for the running the
embedding server targets to test llama-server embeddings functionality.

chore: Update `.clang-format` to use `BinPackArguments=true` (#15744)
This seems to correspond with what we want to do, see
[here](https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/15715#discussion_r2315613796)

Previously, the slope tensor was set to fp16 to improve efficiency.
While this worked correctly in FA, it caused precision issues in soft_max.
This change applies different data types for different operators
to balance both accuracy and performance.

CUDA: fix build error from ambiguous __half conversions in conv2d (#15690)
* CUDA: fix build error from ambiguous __half conversions in conv2d
Building conv2d with half precision failed because `__half` defines
multiple implicit conversion operators (to float, int, short, etc.),
causing ambiguous overload resolution when multiplying with float.
Introduce a templated `to_float` helper that explicitly converts
`__half` via `__half2float`, while passing through float unchanged.
Use this helper in conv2d accumulation to ensure unambiguous and
correct promotion to float.
Fixes some build errors with half-precision kernels on CUDA.

RoPE cache only needs to be computed once per token.
However, in multi-device scenarios, not every device starts
computation from layer 0, which may lead to unallocated memory

This commit records the first layer of each device to avoid
the above issues.

* feat: Support conversion for older NemotronH models
This commit adds a new target to the Makefile for converting models that
are multimodal. This target will convert the original model and in
addition also create the mmproj GGUF model.
The motivation for this change is that for models that are multimodal,
for example those that contain a vision encoders, we will often want to
upload both the quantized model and the vision encoder model to
HuggingFace.
Example usage:
```console
$ make causal-convert-mm-model MODEL_PATH=~/work/ai/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized/
...
The environment variable CONVERTED_MODEL can be set to this path using:
export CONVERTED_MODEL=/home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
The mmproj model was created in /home/danbev/work/ai/llama.cpp/models/mmproj-gemma-3-4b-it-qat-q4_0-unquantized.gguf
```
The converted original model can then be quantized, and after that both
the quantized model and the mmproj file can then be uploaded to
HuggingFace.
