model : add SmolLM3

[ngxson]

Supersede #14240

Thanks @Vaibhavs10 for the initial implementation

Note: you need to use --jinja to enable thinking mode:

$ llama-cli -m ../models/SmolLM3-3B/model.gguf --jinja

Okay, the user sent just "hi". I need to respond appropriately. Since it's a greeting, I should reply in a friendly and welcoming manner. Let me make sure to acknowledge their greeting and offer assistance. Maybe something like, "Hello! How can I assist you today?" That's open-ended and encourages them to ask for help. I should keep it simple and welcoming. Let me check for any typos and ensure the tone is positive. Alright, that should work.
</think>

Hello! How can I assist you today?

The model is up! Try it with:

llama-cli -hf ggml-org/SmolLM3-3B-GGUF --jinja

introduce the movie Once Upon a Time in America briefly
.
Once Upon a Time in America is a 1984 American crime drama film directed by Sergio Leone. It is an epic gangster film based on the 1983 novel of the same name by Michael Cimino and Bernard Eisenson. The film stars Robert De Niro, James Woods, and Meryl Streep, and it is set in New York and New Jersey from the 1940s to the 1980s.
explain the theme and symbolism in the movie.
The theme of Once Upon a Time in America revolves around the idea of the American Dream and its corrupting influence on individuals. The movie explores the moral ambiguity and the gray areas between right and wrong, showing how people can be driven to commit heinous crimes in pursuit of their dreams. The film also delves into the theme of love and loss, highlighting the destructive nature of ambition and the consequences of unchecked desires.
The symbolism in the movie is rich and multi-layered. The setting of New York and New Jersey during the 1940s and 1980s serves as a backdrop for the characters' lives, reflecting the changing landscape of the city and the moral decay that accompanies it. The use of color is also symbolic, with the stark black-and-white cinematography of the 194

Once Upon a Time in America (1984) is a 12-hour crime film directed by Sergio Leone and written by the author of the original novel, Bernard Rose. The film tells the story of two childhood friends, Henry Hill (Robert De Niro) and Max Fara (James Woods), and their rise and fall through organized crime in the 1920s and 1950s in New York City. The film spans six decades, from the Great Depression to the 1960s, and follows the characters' experiences, relationships, and the consequences of their actions.

introduce the film's themes.

Once Upon a Time in America explores a range of themes, including the passage of time, the cyclical nature of violence and crime, the impact of the American Dream on individuals and society, and the complexity of human relationships and motivations. The film also delves into the psychological effects of crime and the trauma of witnessing or participating in violent acts, as well as the blurred lines between good and evil. Through its non-linear structure and multiple storylines, the film creates a complex narrative that challenges the audience to piece together the characters' experiences and the consequences of their actions.

I'm so surprised that it seems the inference performance of ggml-opencl is not better than the defaul ggml backend on Snapdragon high-end mobile SoC based Android phone because I only started using ggml-opencl backend since Jul 6 2025.

@zhouwg There are some unsupported operations in the OpenCL backend. This is indicated by the large number of graph splits in the second screenshot: 218. Such operations are offloaded back to the CPU backend, so there is a lot of overhead.

thanks for your time and thanks for the explanation.

Hi Guys !
I'm using llama-cpp cross the llama-cpp-python lib and I wonder how can you use jinja since the tags {%generation%} {%endgeneration%} (which are present in the chat_template of SmolLM3 ) are not recognized by Jinja ?

I got this issue :

Available chat formats from metadata: chat_template.default

ERROR:src.fastapi_layer:Failed to initialize model: Encountered unknown tag 'generation'. Jinja was looking for the following tags: 'elif' or 'else' or 'endif'. The innermost block that needs to be closed is 'if'. 

I know I'm using llama-cpp-python not llama-cpp but it's still Jinja at the end.
This is something that I don't figured it out yet.
