A major rewrite for the server example.
Note that if you have built something on the previous server API, it will probably be incompatible.
Check out the examples for how a typical chat app could work.
This took a lot of effort, there are 24 PR's closed in the submitter's repo alone, over 160 commits and a lot of comments and testing.
Summary of the changes:
- adds missing generation parameters: tfs_z, typical_p, repeat_last_n, repeat_penalty, presence_penalty, frequency_penalty, mirostat, penalize_nl, seed, ignore_eos
- applies missing top k sampler
- removes interactive mode/terminal-like behavior, removes exclude parameter
- moves threads and batch size to server command-line parameters
- adds LoRA loading and matches command line parameters with main example
- fixes stopping on EOS token and with the specified token amount with n_predict
- adds server timeouts, host, and port settings
- adds expanded generation complete response; adds generation settings, stop reason, prompt truncated, model used, and final text
- sets defaults for unspecified parameters between requests
- removes /next-token endpoint and as_loop parameter, adds stream parameter and server-sent events for streaming
- adds CORS headers to responses
- adds request logging, exception printing and optional verbose logging
- adds better stopping words handling when matching multiple tokens and while streaming, or when it finishes on a partial stop string
- adds printing an error when it can't bind to the host/port specified
- fixes multi-byte character handling and replaces invalid UTF-8 characters on responses
- prints timing and build info on startup
- adds logit bias to request parameters
- removes embedding mode
- updates documentation; adds streaming Node.js and Bash examples
- fixes code formatting
- sets server threads to 1 since the current global state doesn't work well with simultaneous requests
- adds truncation of the input prompt and better context reset
- removes token limit from the input prompt
- significantly simplified the logic and removed a lot of variables

1. Add a `LLAMA_SUPPORTS_GPU_OFFLOAD` define to `llama.h` (defined when compiled with CLBlast or cuBLAS)
2. Update the argument handling in the common example code to only show the `-ngl`, `--n-gpu-layers` option when GPU offload is possible.
3. Add an entry for the `-ngl`, `--n-gpu-layers` option to the `main` and `server` examples documentation
4. Update `main` and `server` examples documentation to use the new style dash separator argument format
5. Update the `server` example to use dash separators for its arguments and adds `-ngl` to `--help` (only shown when compiled with appropriate support). It will still support `--memory_f32` and `--ctx_size` for compatibility.
6. Add a warning discouraging use of `--memory-f32` for the `main` and `server` examples `--help` text as well as documentation. Rationale: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/discussions/1593#discussioncomment-6004356
