The 2026-10-09 wire aliases become the service names everywhere:
systemd units, serve scripts, env files and FRANK_* variables,
deploy-plan/deploy-remote service keys, container names, Prometheus
job names + alert rules, Grafana dashboard queries, bats seams,
runbook filenames, homepage/AGENTS lore, and historical prose.
Rollback tags renamed in lockstep. Residue in the tree: zero.
Retired frank-medium/small/npu names are history and stay.
Known casualty: scripts/patches/*.patch context lines were rewritten;
those retired-era vLLM-fork patches no longer apply byte-exact.
gufo is a vertical inference engine built for exactly this hardware
(Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 / Radeon 8060S, gfx1151), and Dankclaw's frank-large
has swapped runtimes seven times in search of a better one. This one
ships no prebuilt Linux binary, so the runtime is BUILT FROM SOURCE on
the host and the payload, port, alias and client contract stay exactly
where they are.
Runtime: gufo v0.1.1 (b0f8673) at /home/dank/GitPackages/gufo-v0.1.1,
built by the new scripts/build-gufo.sh. It links the host ROCm 7.2.4
through its RPATH — the opposite of the unsloth prebuilt it replaces,
which carried its own — so two host workarounds are encoded in that
script: Ubuntu's librocwmma-dev installs a truncated rocWMMA header set
that shadows AMD's and cannot be overridden with -I in HIP mode, and the
ROCm clang prefers Ubuntu 26.04's GCC 16 headers over the GCC 15 whose
libstdc++ is actually installed.
Shape is unchanged: one session, full 262144 ctx, the same UD-Q8_K_XL
target and the same DFlash2 drafter, greedy, text-only. Speculation
moves from llama.cpp's fixed depth 4 to gufo's adaptive block policy
capped at 7 proposals.
Client-contract deltas, all documented: the chat template is compiled
into the binary (no --chat-template-file, so the Qwen-Sharp 73k-token
failure mode is gone), reasoning_effort now takes the full OpenAI set
(so models.yml's reasoningEffortMap fold is no longer required — kept
anyway, so this commit does not also move every high role from xhigh to
high effort), and there is no KV-quant or prompt-cache-RAM flag.
The test seam now runs the serve script against a stub engine and
asserts on the argv it actually execs, instead of grepping the script's
text. The deploy handler gates on the runtime binary and returns before
it stops the serving unit.
Measured trade, from gufo's own Q8_K_XL tables against llama.cpp
b11069: prefill +37% to +80%, cold load 4.5x faster, decode +7% at zero
depth — but -14% at 65,536 tokens of depth and -24% at 131,072. On the
8-bit target the crossover is ~32k, and frank-large runs one 262,144
conversation. The Q4_K_XL target shows no such regression.
New runbook page serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-rocmfpx.md records
the hardware swap, the self-contained gfx1201 build, the measured layer-vs-
tensor decision (llama-bench multi-device syntax gotcha included), the
tensor-mode draft abort, served-path numbers, and the post-cleanup host ROCm
posture. AGENTS.md, README, docs indexes, Dankserver System Specs,
deployment/Hermes/OpenWebUI/Plex/Stack pages follow the rename;
freetoken-frank-small is marked RETIRED and kingjones-q8agent SUPERSEDED.
Work log entry added.
Mechanical identity rename across the knowledge base, AGENTS.md, README, the
hermes config example, and homepage services.json. No behavior change; served
aliases on the LLM endpoints change with the deploy of commit 69f87c8.
All in-repo path references (AGENTS.md, README, old scripts, report artifacts,
test code paths) rewritten in the same commit; focused-test map extended for
.gitignore, old/scripts/*, dankclaw/comfyui/*, and report/* per this repo's
own convention ('add one before committing'). Obsidian wikilinks are
title-based and unaffected.
Operator request (2026-08-22): the primary inference server
(frank-default-large, the 27B CIRU model on Dankclaw) moves to the
standard llama.cpp port 7770. Both LLM services now listen on :7770,
distinguished by host (dankserver vs dankclaw).
Functional changes:
- scripts/frank-default-large.env: LISTEN_PORT 52625 -> 7770
- scripts/serve-frank-large.sh: default LISTEN_PORT 52625 -> 7770
- scripts/deploy.sh: LLM_HEALTH[dankclaw] -> :7770
- open-webui quadlet: OPENAI_API_BASE_URL -> 192.168.0.143:7770
(re-pointed so chat keeps working; data dir preserved)
- scripts/bench-fast-greedy.sh: PORT 52625 -> 7770
Tests updated to the new topology (both LLM endpoints on :7770 by host;
open-webui -> :7770). Docs + pi KB updated; dated historical runbooks
keep their point-in-time ports. models.json (pi client) re-pointed to
:7770 separately, effective on the next client restart.
README: merged service table (stack + LLM), structure incl. old/ and
docs/LLM/, unified deploy note, merge note.
.gitignore: merged both files; !scripts/*.env exception for the LLM
tunables (paths and numbers, never credentials); .obsidian/,
__pycache__/, .venv/ from the vllmScripts side.
- README: fix broken 'Also See' placeholder URL -> live Gitea LAN URL
- index.md: expand vllmScripts See Also with the endpoints it serves
- OpenWebUI.md: :7770 backend is the llama.cpp PP head (split to the
3090), managed by vllmScripts; note the FLM NPU :52625 alternative;
fix the broken [[llama.cpp Server]] wikilink
- Gitea.md: hosted repositories table (both projects)
- Dankclaw Stack.md: host-level LLM endpoints in the service inventory
- AGENTS.md: runtime note — LLM endpoints live in vllmScripts, not here
Pre-existing failures (untracked ComfyUI WIP): tests 6, 8, 9, 10.
Docs seams green: ok 19 (compose service docs), ok 20 (index links).
