llama.cpp PR optimizes VRAM by limiting context outputs

A pull request to the llama.cpp project aims to optimize VRAM usage by limiting the maximum output of `llama_context`. This change, building on a previous PR, reserves logits space only when necessary, potentially saving significant amounts of memory. The developer suggests an API within llama-context could manage this reservation, defaulting to all tokens but allowing for specific server-context settings. AI

IMPACT This optimization could enable running larger models on consumer hardware by reducing VRAM requirements.

RANK_REASON This is a pull request for an open-source project, which is a tool-level update.
