bf16 GGUF fails with GGML_ASSERT on CUDA #7223

Hi!

I have just cloned the latest llama.cpp repo, and I'm getting this error when trying to run a BF16 GGUF model with llama.cpp:

GGML_ASSERT: ggml-cuda.cu:1277: to_fp32_cuda != nullptr

I am using ddh0/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-bf16-GGUF, which I made myself, and I have confirmed to work on Metal.

This is the command I'm running:

./llama.cpp/main -m ./models/Meta-Llama-3-8B-Instruct-bf16.gguf -ngl 0 -nkvo -c 8192 -n 1 -p 'nfuiresnfiuesnfuisnfuiesnfiusnfiusenfiusenfiusnfiusenfuisenfiusenfiusenfuisenfiusenfuisenfiuenfisenfuesncuesnfaensifonqfnoeqiwnfiowinefioewnfowienfoiewtgowefeioncwncioenciencisncenicsnicneicnejfoiwejfoiwefoewifnenfoiewnfiohgewoiewhdcmioesiuoghscnklesioughsmkcwkhgiowenweiopdciuewfuowncoiwenfiuwefwnueoicwe'

Important note:

The program only crashes with batch size 32 or greater -- if I only do text generation and small prompts, it works fine.

The full output of the command is here:
