 ### Active Services
 
-The active `frank-default-small` service (llama.cpp, `b10108+`) serves the HauhauCS Qwen3.6-35B-A3B uncensored `Q6_K_P` model on port 7770 with **ngram-mod** speculative decoding. It runs **4 parallel slots** at 200000 context each (pool 800000). Of the 40 layers' MoE expert weights, **32 sit on CPU** (`--n-cpu-moe 32`) while the remaining **8 layers' expert weights** are resident on GPU along with all non-expert tensors (`--gpu-layers all`). KV stays on GPU with K=`q8_0`, V=`f16`. Batch 8192 / ubatch 2048, `--ctx-checkpoints 4`, `--no-mmap`. At idle ~23.5 GB VRAM used; under a 4-stream 300-token burst peaks ~23.7 GB, leaving **~870 MiB** headroom. Idle RAM ~32 GB of 62 GB.

Of the 40 layers' MoE expert weights, **35 sit on CPU** (`--n-cpu-moe 35`) while the remaining **5 layers' expert weights** are resident on GPU along with all non-expert tensors (`--gpu-layers all`). KV stays on GPU with K=`q8_0`, V=`f16`. Batch 8192 / ubatch 2048, `--ctx-checkpoints 4`, `--no-mmap`. At idle ~22.2 GB VRAM used, leaving an estimated **~1.8 GiB** headroom (up from ~870 MiB at `--n-cpu-moe 32`). Idle RAM ~32 GB of 62 GB.
 
 ## Hardware Relevance
 
-- 24 GB VRAM is almost fully saturated with this config. At idle ~23.5 GB used; under a 4-stream 300-token burst peaks at ~23.7 GB, leaving **~870 MiB** headroom. The 8 layers' expert weights back on GPU account for the tight margin. If headroom proves too thin for production bursts, dial back `--n-cpu-moe` to 36 (only 4 layers on GPU, ~1.7 GiB more headroom) by editing `scripts/frank-default-small.env`.
+- 24 GB VRAM is close to saturated with this config. At idle ~22.2 GB used, leaving an estimated **~1.8 GiB** headroom at `--n-cpu-moe 35` (5 layers' experts on GPU). The move from `--n-cpu-moe 32` to 35 traded a little GPU-expert speed for OOM safety after high-load sessions OOM'd at 32 and 33. If headroom proves too thin for production bursts, dial back `--n-cpu-moe` to 37 (only 3 layers on GPU, ~0.9 GiB more headroom) by editing `scripts/frank-default-small.env`.
 - 62 GB system RAM holds the ~29 GB of MoE expert weights with room to spare (~57 GB available after load).
 - 127 GB swap is available for CPU KV cache paging if GPU KV offload is disabled.
 - Root disk has approximately 140 GB free. Store the GGUF models under `/home/dank/models` (about 32 GB total).

 ### Dankserver — frank-default-small
 
-The active service on Dankserver runs llama.cpp (upstream, `b10108+`) and serves the HauhauCS Qwen3.6-35B-A3B uncensored `Q6_K_P` model under the alias `frank-default-small` on port 7770. It uses **ngram-mod** speculative decoding (`--spec-ngram-mod-n-min 48 / n_max 64 / n_match 24`), **4 parallel slots** at 200000 context each (pool 800000), and mmproj vision. **32 of 40 MoE expert layers** stay on CPU (`--n-cpu-moe 32`); 8 expert layers' weights are back on GPU alongside all non-expert tensors (`--gpu-layers all`). KV stays on GPU (K=`q8_0`, V=`f16`). Batch 8192 / ubatch 2048, `--ctx-checkpoints 4`, `--no-mmap`. The unit file is `scripts/frank-default-small.service`, symlinked to `/etc/systemd/system/`. It launches through `scripts/serve-llama-frank-small.sh`, which reads tunables from `scripts/frank-default-small.env`.

 > Note: this service replaced the retired `vllm-awq-qwen36` (AWQ 4-bit, port 34401) and the earlier `vllm-qwen36` (FP8) / `llama-server` (ROCmFPX) units. The repo tracks `main` on Dankserver at `/home/dank/vLLM`.
