llama.cpp adds CPU offload option for dense models

A new pull request has been submitted to the llama.cpp project, proposing the addition of a `--n-cpu-ffn` option. This feature aims to provide CPU offloading capabilities for dense models, similar to the existing `--n-cpu-moe` option for Mixture-of-Experts (MOE) models. The PR, submitted by John-194, is expected to enhance performance and flexibility for users running dense models on local hardware, particularly those with limited VRAM. AI
