**Why this shape.** `general.architecture qwen35`: 33 blocks (32 trunk + `blk.32` = the MTP block),
`full_attention_interval 4` ⇒ 8 full-attention + 24 Gated DeltaNet, 4 KV heads × 256 dim, `nextn_predict_layers 1`
(the head **is in the file**), trained window 262,144, `general.sampling.*` 1.0/0.95/20. Only the 8 full layers bill
per token (32,768 B at exact f16 ⇒ 16,384 MiB over the pool) and the DeltaNet layers add ~50 MiB of recurrent state
**per slot**: exact KV costs the third conversation and nothing else.
per token and the DeltaNet layers add ~50 MiB of recurrent state **per slot**, so the shape is a single budget
equation at 25,088 B/token (f16 K 16,384 + q8_0 V 8,704): **14,406.00 MiB** of cache over a 602,112 pool +
**2,352.00 MiB** of draft cache (blk.32 at its own f16 rate, billed over the WHOLE pool) + ~7.7 GiB of weights,
projector, buffers and states, inside the 24,123 MiB the driver leaves addressable. Exact V (32,768 B/token ⇒
18,816 MiB here) buys neither the third conversation nor the drafter; the fully quantized pair (17,408 B/token)
buys both and costs the keys their precision.
**MTP is OFF by measurement, not by absence of a head.** The drafter is *good* — 2026-10-18 measured
acceptance 0.798 / 0.617 per position, mean accepted length 2.41, and the publisher's card says depth 2 works
best — and it still loses here, because the draft context is built against the *target's* pool: `blk.32` bills
4,096 B/position at its default f16 ⇒ 2,048 MiB at 524,288 positions on a trunk that projects 21,234 MiB of the
24,123 MiB addressable (that projection predicts 2,889 MiB free; replace it with the measured pair). Exact KV and a
drafter cannot share this card. `--spec-draft-type-k`/`--spec-draft-type-v` (default f16, verified in this build's
`--help`) would cut the draft to 1,088 MiB — legal on b10777, **never booted beside exact KV**. There is no
`--spec-draft-model`: the MTP draft rides the main model's weights. The env carries the recipe
(`SPEC_DRAFT_N_MAX=2`, `SPEC_DRAFT_N_MIN=0`, `SPEC_DRAFT_P_MIN=0`); `SPEC_TYPE=none` never sends it.
**MTP is ON (Frank, 2026-10-19).** The drafter was always good — 2026-10-18 measured acceptance 0.798 / 0.617 per
position, mean accepted length 2.41, and the publisher's card says depth 2 works best — and arming it is a
budget decision, not a flag: the draft context is built against the *target's* pool, so `blk.32` bills 4,096
B/position (2,352.00 MiB at 602,112) plus ~0.45 GiB of buffers at this ubatch and its own recurrent cells.
`CACHE_TYPE_V=q8_0` (−3,840 MiB against exact V at this pool) and `UBATCH_SIZE=1024` (−~1,306 MiB of compute
buffers, and the rung every measured MTP arm here ran on) are what pay for it; `UBATCH_SIZE=2048` beside an armed
drafter is the shape that halved decode (167.2 → 109.2 t/s). `--spec-draft-type-k`/`--spec-draft-type-v` (default
f16, verified in this build's `--help`) would cut the draft's bill again and stay at their default; there is no
`--spec-draft-model` — the draft rides the main model's weights, so a draft file would load the trunk twice.
`SPEC_TYPE=none` is the rollback and strips the whole set.
**Harness contract** (`~/.omp/agent/models.yml`, provider `llamacpp (dankclaw-3090)`, id `frank-zealot`):
`contextWindow: 262144` — **the per-slot window**, because llama.cpp divides `--ctx-size` across slots and answers a
`contextWindow: 200704` — **the per-slot window**, because llama.cpp divides `--ctx-size` across slots and answers a
longer prompt with a 400, never a truncation — plus `maxTokens: 16384`, `input: [text, image]`,
`compat.reasoningContentField: reasoning_content`, `compat.reasoningEffortMap` (**load-bearing**: the template takes
only `xhigh|medium|low` and raises on anything else), `extraBody` 1.0 / 0.95 / 20 / `min_p 0`, and the
`compactionModel` of [[frank-archon]], [[frank-dragoon]] **and** frank-zealot all pointing here.
**The exact-KV boot, measured** (2026-10-18 evening, under the unit, verbosity 4). KV **16,384.00 MiB** =
32,768 B/token × 524,288 positions, to the MiB — rate derivation and ledger agree with no slop, which is what
buries the doc's old "f16 needs 26,112 MiB and cannot boot" figure for good: that was the 27B's 34,816 B/token
applied to the 9B. RS **100.50 MiB** (2 cells, one 50.25 MiB cell lighter than the q8_0 era), compute
1,408.06 + 1,088.07 CUDA_Host, mmproj worst case **868.32 MiB** charged *after* the engine's own fit check,
settled `nvidia-smi` **21,176 used / 2,949 free** of 24,123, `n_slots = 2`, `n_ctx_slot = 262144`,
`DropInPaths` empty, no clamp line, no `cudaMalloc` error — within 24 MiB of the pre-flight projection. That is
a desktop margin: the ~2 GiB of slack is what an image storm has to live inside.
**Rates on this shape are FLOORS, not the shape's rates** — measured the same evening greedy with `ignore_eos`
at 512 tokens, first request discarded, while another consumer drove the other slot (56 new prompts in three
minutes, 96 % GPU-util): the exact condition the bench window exists to exclude, and one contended deep arm
even came back truncated (a 512 KB body accepted as `prompt_n = 4`).
| Arm | q8_0 3-slot record | f16 2-slot, contended |
|---|---|---|
| single-stream decode | 168.7 | **134.1 – 141.5** (145.8 and 163.2 in a lighter minute) |
| concurrent aggregate | ≈300 across 3 (102.8 each) | **256.6 / 262.4 / 265.1** across 2 (≈128–133 each) |
| prefill at ~106k | 2,877 at 106,418 | **3,159.5 at 106,282** |
| decode at 106k depth | never measured | **71.5** |
What the floors already support: per-conversation concurrency **improved** (two streams hold ~130 t/s each where
three held 102.8), endpoint aggregate sits ~12 % under the 3-slot record, prefill beat the record while
contended, and single-stream decode is between parity and −20 %. The 1.882× KV byte bill is real; its true size
on this card is still unmeasured, so quoting 134 or 163 t/s as "the" number is a guess in either direction —
re-run the same arms with the box quiet before a figure is carried anywhere else.
**This shape ships unbenchmarked, by law.** Frank ordered the reslice, not a
number, so the evidence a swap needs is the seam's fit gate (it prices cache +
draft cache + recurrent states against the 24,123 MiB the driver leaves
addressable, and refuses the two boots this shape can walk into: exact V with the
drafter armed, and the retired dtype pair at the retired pool), the deployer's
health gate, and the first verbosity-4 ledger of the new dtype pair — which is
recorded on this page because projections drift, and nowhere else. The previous
era's exact-KV boot and its rate floors live in that era's row below; those floors
were measured while another consumer drove the other slot (56 prompts in three
minutes, 96 % GPU-util), the exact condition a bench window exists to exclude.
**Fallback rungs**, cheapest first — one line of `frank-zealot.env` each, and each must keep the seam's fit gate green:
| Knob | Effect |
| Knob | Effect from the shipped shape |
|---|---|
| `UBATCH_SIZE=1024` | hands back 1,306 MiB of compute buffers; prefill −17 %; it is also the arm that ran the drafter at three windows (213.5 t/s) |
| `CACHE_TYPE_V=q8_0` | exact K + quantized V: KV 16,384 → **12,544 MiB**, freeing 3,840 (llama.cpp has no true fp8 KV dtype — q8_0 is the 8-bit class) |
| `CTX_SIZE=401408` | two 200,704 conversations, exact KV at 12,544 MiB (same 3,840 freed) — `contextWindow` MUST follow the per-slot number |
| `CTX_SIZE=786432 PARALLEL=3 CACHE_TYPE_K/V=q8_0` | the era below this one: 13,056 MiB of cache, the third conversation back |
| `CACHE_TYPE_K/V=q4_0` | 10,240 B/token ⇒ 5,120 MiB (the 27B era measured q4_0 at 16,392 used / 7,733 free at 2 × 200,704) |
| `SPEC_TYPE=none` | the drafter off: hands back 2,352 MiB of draft cache plus its buffers and recurrent cells, at the cost of the ~+28 % decode the 2026-10-18 census measured whenever the card has room |
| `UBATCH_SIZE=2048` | +~1,306 MiB of compute buffers and +4.6 % prefill — and the rung that HALVED decode beside an armed drafter (167.2 → 109.2 t/s) |
| `CTX_SIZE=401408` | two 200,704 conversations: frees 4,802 MiB of cache — `contextWindow` MUST follow the per-slot number |
| `CACHE_TYPE_V=f16` | exact V: +4,410 MiB at this pool with the drafter armed, which is a `cudaMalloc` death the seam refuses — legal only once the drafter or a slot is gone |
| `CACHE_TYPE_K=q8_0` | the fully quantized pair (17,408 B/token): frees 4,410 MiB and moves the quantization error into the keys |
