Add prompt caching and prompt aggregation

 - **Multi-Modal**: Text, image, video, audio, TTS, STT, embeddings
 - **Per-Model Configuration**: Individual settings for each model (GPU layers, quantization, context size)
 - **On-Demand Loading**: Models load automatically when requested, unload when idle
+- **Memory Management**: Smart VRAM → RAM → Disk offloading for efficient resource usage
+- **Parallel Execution**: Run multiple models simultaneously (VRAM permitting)
+- **Auto-Swap**: Automatic model switching on request — load what's needed, unload what's idle
+- **Request Queue**: Concurrent requests are queued and processed in order per model
+- **Prompt Caching**: Reuse KV cache across requests to reduce latency and computation
+- **Prompt Aggregation**: Batch concurrent requests into a single inference pass for higher throughput
+- **Custom Pipelines**: Create and save multi-step workflows combining any generation tasks
+- **Pre-Built Pipelines**: Ready-to-use pipelines for common workflows (image-to-video, dubbing, story generation)

+Prompt prefix cache manager.
+
+Provides two features:
+1. Prefix key computation for same-prefix request scheduling (prompt aggregation).
+2. Per-model last-prompt tracking so callers can report accurate cached_tokens.
+
+llama.cpp's KV cache naturally reuses computation when consecutive requests
+share a prompt prefix.  This manager helps exploit that by:
+  - Giving the scheduler a stable key to group requests by shared prefix.
+  - Letting text.py read back how many tokens were cached from timings.
