# What does this PR do?
Extract API definitions and provider specifications into a standalone
llama-stack-api package that can be published to PyPI independently of
the main llama-stack server.
see: https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/2978 and
https://github.com/llamastack/llama-stack/pull/2978#issuecomment-3145115942
Motivation
External providers currently import from llama-stack, which overrides
the installed version and causes dependency conflicts. This separation
allows external providers to:
- Install only the type definitions they need without server
dependencies
- Avoid version conflicts with the installed llama-stack package
- Be versioned and released independently
This enables us to re-enable external provider module tests that were
previously blocked by these import conflicts.
Changes
- Created llama-stack-api package with minimal dependencies (pydantic,
jsonschema)
- Moved APIs, providers datatypes, strong_typing, and schema_utils
- Updated all imports from llama_stack.* to llama_stack_api.*
- Configured local editable install for development workflow
- Updated linting and type-checking configuration for both packages
Next Steps
- Publish llama-stack-api to PyPI
- Update external provider dependencies
- Re-enable external provider module tests

These PRs moved key pieces _out_ of the Api pkg, limiting the scope of
change here.

## Test Plan
Package builds successfully and can be imported independently. All
pre-commit hooks pass with expected exclusions maintained.

# What does this PR do?
Move around bits. This makes the copies from llama-models _much_ easier
to maintain and ensures we don't entangle meta-reference specific
tidbits into llama-models code even by accident.
Also, kills the meta-reference-quantized-gpu distro and rolls
quantization deps into meta-reference-gpu.
## Test Plan
```
LLAMA_MODELS_DEBUG=1 \
with-proxy llama stack run meta-reference-gpu \
--env INFERENCE_MODEL=meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct \
--env INFERENCE_CHECKPOINT_DIR=<DIR> \
--env MODEL_PARALLEL_SIZE=4 \
--env QUANTIZATION_TYPE=fp8_mixed
```
Start a server with and without quantization. Point integration tests to
it using:
```
pytest -s -v tests/integration/inference/test_text_inference.py \
--stack-config http://localhost:8321 --text-model meta-llama/Llama-4-Scout-17B-16E-Instruct
```
