This patch updates the example in docs/development/HOWTO-add-model.md to reflect recent changes after `TextModel` and `MmprojModel` were introduced. It replaces the outdated `Model` base class with `TextModel` or `MmprojModel` and updates the registration example accordingly. Signed-off-by: Wook Song <[email protected]>

Hello llama.cpp team,
While working through the
docs/development/HOWTO‑add‑model.mdguide to add a new model, I noticed that the example still uses@Model.register("MyModelForCausalLM")andclass MyModel(Model).In #13023, the model base class was renamed from
ModeltoModelBase, and more recently,TextModelandMmprojModelwere introduced. Following the current documentation now leads to anAttributeError.This PR updates the example to use
@ModelBase.register("MyModelForCausalLM")andclass MyModel(ModelBase), bringing the documentation back in line with the current code.Because
TextModelandMmprojModelwere added, some of the methods that need to be overridden in a new model class have also changed — this PR does not address those changes.If you guys don't mind. I plan to submit a follow‑up PR that updates the override instructions accordingly.
It’s a small fix that should prevent confusion for new contributors, and I intend to continue improving the HOWTO in subsequent PRs. Thank you for your time and consideration.
