gguf_new_metadata.py reads data from reader.
Reader doesn't byteswap tensors to native endianness.
But writer does expect tensors in native endianness to convert them
into requested endianness.
There are two ways to fix this: update reader and do conversion to native endianness and back,
or skip converting endianness in writer in this particular USE-case.
gguf_editor_gui.py doesn't allow editing or viewing tensor data.
Let's go with skipping excessive byteswapping.
If eventually capability to view or edit tensor data is added,
tensor data should be instead byteswapped when reading it.
* Fix convert_hf_to_gguf.py script on s390x
Assume converted model data is originally little-endian.
Byteswap data on s390x after reading it to put values in correct presentation
for any transformation needed, like calculating weight tensors.
Then byteswap data to little-endian before passing it to GGUFWriter while
GGUFWriter will byteswap data back to big endian if big endian output is requested.
byteswap(inplace=True) calls don't work with lazy tensor and array wrappers.
Use byteswap with copying data to workaround this behaviour.
* Make GGUFWriter accept tensors in native endianness instead of little-endian
With this change if no byteswapping is actually needed, 2 excessive byteswaps can be omitted on s390x
* Fix byteswapping in convert_hf_to_gguf.py for remote models
BF16 requires special handling in this script
while it's a 2-bytes data, but view is 1-byte by default.
Switch to correct view before attempting byteswapping.
With this change correctly byteswapping models like
Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-bf16-GGUF
should be possible.
* gguf-py: implement byteswapping for Q4_0
This is needed to byteswap Mistral model.
Also restore original shapes after byteswapping tensors.
It is not needed at the moment, but do it in case
they'd be used in future.
* Rework byteswapping code in gguf-py
Move out details from byteswapping tensor blocks code
Currently self.byte_order is never used.
Actually use it to byteswap read data to
allow reading big endian files on little endian systems
and vice versa.
Now it's possible to convert little-endian model
into a big-endian model and back
on a little-endian system.
