system-llamacpp Reuse the system <pkg>sci-misc/llama-cpp</pkg> (/usr/bin/llama-server) for the llama.cpp backend instead of fetching an upstream prebuilt binary at runtime; build it with your preferred GPU backend (see the post-install notes)
system-rocm Point lemond's ROCm runtime at the system ROCm in /usr (via ROCM_PATH) so its rocm-stable image/audio backends reuse it instead of downloading AMD's multi-GB TheRock runtime; requires a system ROCm (pulls <pkg>dev-util/hip</pkg>). Mutually exclusive with system-therock
system-sdcpp Reuse the system <pkg>sci-misc/stable-diffusion-cpp</pkg> (/usr/bin/sd-server) for the stable-diffusion.cpp backend instead of fetching an upstream prebuilt binary at runtime; build it with your preferred GPU backend (see the post-install notes)
system-therock Point lemond's ROCm runtime at <pkg>dev-util/therock-bin</pkg> in /opt/therock-bin (via ROCM_PATH) instead of downloading AMD's TheRock runtime; range-pinned to the therock-bin series that lemonade's own backend_versions.json declares (7.14 as of 11.8.0), not simply the newest available. Mutually exclusive with system-rocm
system-whispercpp Reuse the system <pkg>app-accessibility/whisper-cpp</pkg> (/usr/bin/whisper-server) for the whisper.cpp backend instead of fetching an upstream prebuilt binary at runtime; build it with your preferred GPU backend (see the post-install notes)
tauri Build the Tauri desktop app (lemonade-app) -- a native webkit2gtk window wrapping the same renderer as USE=webui. Pulls a Rust toolchain (<pkg>dev-lang/rust</pkg>) plus <pkg>net-libs/webkit-gtk</pkg>, and fetches Rust crates over the network at build time

lm-eval

Flag Description
ifeval Enable instruction-following evaluation tasks (leaderboard_ifeval and friends) — checks generated text against structural constraints like length limits, language hints, and required keywords. Auto-downloads the NLTK punkt_tab tokenizer at task-load time (not deferred until eval); seed ~/nltk_data ahead of time on offline hosts.
math Enable math-grading tasks (minerva_math, leaderboard math, hendrycks_math, etc.) — parses LaTeX answers and verifies symbolic equality between predicted and ground-truth solutions
onnxruntime Enable the raw ONNX Runtime model backend (<pkg>sci-libs/onnxruntime</pkg> built with USE=python), scoring a Model Builder ONNX export through a plain InferenceSession. Reaches execution providers the onnxruntime-genai backend does not build, notably ROCm and MIGraphX. Implements the log-likelihood path only — loglikelihood, multiple_choice and loglikelihood_rolling tasks; generative tasks are not supported yet.
sentencepiece Pull sci-ml/sentencepiece for tasks that tokenise via SentencePiece
statsmodels Pull dev-python/statsmodels for the discrim_eval task family
vllm Wire dev-python/vllm for the vLLM model backend

onnx

Flag Description
disableStaticReg Disable static operator registration

sherpa-onnx

Flag Description
portaudio Build the example CLI tools that record/play audio (portaudio is vendored + statically linked by upstream cmake)
tts Build text-to-speech support (pulls vendored espeak-ng-for-piper at build time)
websocket Build the WebSocket server and client examples

unsloth

Flag Description
studio Enable the bundled Unsloth Studio web backend (the <pkg>dev-python/fastmcp</pkg>-driven FastAPI server run by the <pkg>dev-python/uvicorn</pkg> host) against the system interpreter, pulling its runtime dependencies and an in-process launch patch instead of the desktop app's self-downloaded virtualenv

sci-physics

prismatic

Flag Description
double-precision Build with 64-bit floating point precision (default is single precision).

profex

Flag Description
bgmn Install the <pkg>sci-physics/bgmn</pkg> refinement backend

sci-visualization

gwyddion

Flag Description
jansson Enable <pkg>dev-libs/jansson</pkg>-based JSON import/export
perl
ruby
unique Enable single-instance support via <pkg>dev-libs/libunique</pkg>
zlib

sys-cluster

rocSHMEM

Flag Description
ipc Enable the HIP IPC conduit for communication between GPUs on one node
sdma Enable the SDMA transport conduit, which upstream documents as MI300X and newer; harmless but not useful on other parts
single-node Restrict the build to single-node support only

sys-kernel

kernel-cleaner

Flag Description
parallel Add support for <pkg>sys-process/parallel</pkg>

x11-libs

gtk+

aqua
vim-syntax
xinerama

wxGTK

Flag Description
