Commit 1829fb61 ("manifest: Fix crash on startup when trying to clean up
unused files (#5840)") changed the config layer stored in manifests
from a pointer to a value. This was done in order to avoid potential
nil pointer dereferences after it is deserialized from JSON in the
event that the field is missing.
This changes the Layers slice to also be stored by value. This enables
consistency in handling across the two objects.
Previously, some costly things were causing the loading of GGUF files
and their metadata and tensor information to be VERY slow:
* Too many allocations when decoding strings
* Hitting disk for each read of each key and value, resulting in a
not-okay amount of syscalls/disk I/O.
The show API is now down to 33ms from 800ms+ for llama3 on a macbook pro
m3.
This commit also prevents collecting large arrays of values when
decoding GGUFs (if desired). When such keys are encountered, their
values are null, and are encoded as such in JSON.
Also, this fixes a broken test that was not encoding valid GGUF.
multiple templates may appear in a model if a model is created from
another model that 1) has an autodetected template and 2) defines a
custom template
