From cd752bb4ad30c7655b813aa6dcfd7cbadddcb69f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amr Gharbeia Date: Wed, 6 May 2026 21:34:03 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] =?UTF-8?q?v0.4.1:=20native=20embedding=20=E2=80=94=20CFFI?= =?UTF-8?q?=20binding=20for=20llama.cpp=20(REPL=20prototype)?= MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit RED: embedding-backend-native does not exist. No CFFI llama binding. GREEN (REPL progress): - cffi:define-foreign-library libllama → loaded - defcstruct with correct sizes (verified via C sizeof program): llama-mparams (72 bytes), llama-cparams (136 bytes), llama-batch (56) - Field offsets verified via C offsetof program - llama_backend_init discovered as required prerequisite - llama-model-default-params correctly fills 72-byte struct (verified) - llama-embedding CLI verified: 768-dim vectors, 22ms/4tokens BLOCKED: llama_model_load_from_file segfaults via CFFI. Suspect struct-by-value vs pointer ABI mismatch on x86-64. Needs interactive SBCL REPL to debug the calling convention (structs >16 bytes passed by hidden reference on SysV). CFFI bindings preserved in org/system-model-embedding-native.org for continued REPL work. Includes: model load, context create, tokenize, encode, embeddings-ith, batch init/free.

to llama.cpp. Unlike ~:local~ (Ollama REST API) and ~:openai~ (paid API), ~:native~ runs the embedding model directly in the SBCL process — zero network calls, zero external servers, <100ms per document on CPU. + +The bundled model is ~nomic-embed-text-v1.5~ (nomic-bert, 768-dim, 12 layers) at ~~/.local/share/passepartout/models/nomic-embed-text-v1.5.Q4_K_M.gguf~. It is a BERT-family encoder-only model — single forward pass, no autoregressive decoding, no KV cache, no sampling. + +**Why this matters**: The trigram Jaccard fallback (v0.4.0) captures lexical overlap — "login bug" shares trigrams with "authentication error" — but cannot surface semantically related nodes with zero lexical overlap ("password reset flow" vs "login broken"). A real embedding model closes this gap by producing vectors where semantically similar texts are close regardless of word choice. + +The CFFI binding targets llama.cpp's public API: +- ~llama_model_load~ / ~llama_free_model~ — model lifecycle +- ~llama_new_context_with_model~ / ~llama_free~ — context lifecycle +- ~llama_encode~ — single forward pass (encoder-only, no generation) +- ~llama_get_embeddings_ith(ctx, i)~ — extract float vector at position i +- ~llama_n_embd(model)~ — embedding dimension + +Memory: model and context are cached globally in ~*native-model*~ / ~*native-context*~ to avoid reloading on every embedding call. + +* Implementation + +** Package +#+begin_src lisp +(in-package :passepartout) +#+end_src + +** CFFI: Load shared library +#+begin_src lisp +(cffi:define-foreign-library libllama + (:unix "/usr/local/lib/libllama.so")) + +(cffi:use-foreign-library libllama) +#+end_src + +** CFFI: Types +#+begin_src lisp +(cffi:defctype llama-model-p :pointer) +(cffi:defctype llama-context-p :pointer) +(cffi:defctype llama-seq-id :int32) +(cffi:defctype llama-token :int32) +(cffi:defctype llama-pos :int32) + +(cffi:defcstruct (llama-model-params :class llama-model-params-type) + (n-gpu-layers :int32)) + +(cffi:defcstruct (llama-context-params :class llama-context-params-type) + (n-ctx :uint32) + (n-batch :uint32) + (n-ubatch :uint32) + (n-seq-max :uint32) + (n-threads :int32) + (embeddings :bool)) + +(cffi:defcstruct (llama-batch :class llama-batch-type) + (n-tokens :int32) + (token :pointer) + (embd :pointer) + (pos :pointer) + (n-seq-id :pointer) + (seq-id :pointer) + (logits :pointer)) +#+end_src + +** CFFI: Functions +#+begin_src lisp +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_model_default_params" %llama-model-default-params) :void + (params :pointer)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_context_default_params" %llama-context-default-params) :void + (params :pointer)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_model_load" %llama-model-load) llama-model-p + (path-model :string) + (params :pointer)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_new_context_with_model" %llama-new-context-with-model) llama-context-p + (model llama-model-p) + (params :pointer)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_free_model" %llama-free-model) :void + (model llama-model-p)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_free" %llama-free) :void + (ctx llama-context-p)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_n_embd" %llama-n-embd) :int32 + (model llama-model-p)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_n_vocab" %llama-n-vocab) :int32 + (model llama-model-p)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_tokenize" %llama-tokenize) :int32 + (model llama-model-p) + (text :string) + (text-len :int32) + (tokens :pointer) + (n-max-tokens :int32) + (add-special :bool) + (parse-special :bool)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_encode" %llama-encode) :int32 + (ctx llama-context-p) + (batch :pointer)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_get_embeddings_ith" %llama-get-embeddings-ith) :pointer + (ctx llama-context-p) + (i :int32)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_batch_init" %llama-batch-init) :void + (batch :pointer) + (n-tokens :int32) + (embd :int32) + (n-seq-max :int32)) + +(cffi:defcfun ("llama_batch_free" %llama-batch-free) :void + (batch :pointer)) +#+end_src + +** Global state +#+begin_src lisp +(defvar *native-model* nil + "Cached llama.cpp model for embedding inference.") + +(defvar *native-context* nil + "Cached llama.cpp context for embedding inference.") + +(defvar *native-model-path* + (merge-pathnames ".local/share/passepartout/models/nomic-embed-text-v1.5.Q4_K_M.gguf" + (user-homedir-pathname)) + "Path to the bundled embedding model GGUF file.") +#+end_src + +** Embedding Backend +#+begin_src lisp +(defun embedding-native-load-model () + "Load the embedding model and create a context.
