Hello and happy holidays :) Thanks for tackling this. Would you mind retargeting this toward the dev branch? We are unable to merge into main directly.
Also, are you able to sign the CLA, which is also required before merging? https://cla.developers.google.com/

Hi Jan,
Happy holidays to you too!

I've retargeted this to the dev branch, signed the CLA, and merged the latest dev changes to resolve the conflicts. Everything should be ready for review now.

I’m planning to focus heavily on low-level optimization and ML infrastructure this year, so I'll be keeping an eye on the issue tracker for more ways to contribute to gemma.cpp. Thanks!

Thanks! CLA looks good.
We have some remaining issues: model_store.h:32:10: fatal error: 'io/blob_store.h'.
Also, the Bazel build is failing because it also still has the old filename. There are quite a few remaining references to blob_store.h/cc. Maybe it's best if we do not rename the file, but only the classes and test, because blob_store does contain other classes such as BlobWriter. WDYT?

Nice, interesting topic! It's a fast moving field, lots going on :)

Thanks for the catch! I really should have spotted those broken includes before pushing. My bad.

I've reverted the file names to blob_store and fixed the include in model_store.h, while keeping the BlobReader -> BlobFinder class rename. It should be good to go now!

And yeah, happy to be contributing to the 'lots' going on in the field! Hehe. Looking forward to more
