Description
I discovered a bug with how llamacpp's grcp backend is implemented in LocalAI. Basically the batch parameter is exposed in the LocalAI model yaml file but this only changes the n_batch parameter in llama.cpp. When trying to run a reranking model in llama.cpp, it sometimes complains that the prompt input is larger than the maximum physical batch size. The default is 512 tokens and set by n_ubatch, not by n_batch. I fixed it by making the batch value from the model yaml file change both the n_batch and n_ubatch parameters in llamacpp.
