Support for Loading Model from Memory Buffer

[sienaiwun]

Hi,

In whisper.cpp, there is a method whisper_init_from_buffer_with_params that allows loading a model directly from a memory buffer. This feature is particularly helpful for scenarios like mobile applications, where the model file is packaged and needs to be accessed in-memory without file I/O.

I’m wondering if llama.cpp could support a similar approach for loading models directly from a memory buffer. This would simplify usage in environments where file-based access is constrained or not feasible.

Is this feature already supported or something planned for the future? If not, could it be considered for implementation?
