Frank 8c42771877 docs: mark retired FastFlowLM/NPU pages with the port/name handoff; tighten Dankclaw system specs runtime row 2026-08-17 18:10:57 -07:00
Frank 115b0af8dc docs: reflect the 2026-08-17 evening changes (Quark model swap, tool calling, batch 8192) 2026-08-17 18:01:02 -07:00
Frank 1cebbf47f6 frank-default-small: swap to nameistoken Quark W8A8 INT8, batch 8192
- Model: nameistoken/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-Quark-W8A8-INT8 (AMD Quark W8A8,
  vLLM-native expert layout). The Avesed quant emitted malformed Qwen3
  XML tool calls; the Quark model follows the format cleanly.
- max-num-batched-tokens lowered 16384 -> 8192 (user request).
- Chat template: neutral path qwen36-chat_template-tools.jinja (same
  base template; adds a concrete worked tool-call example).
2026-08-17 17:49:27 -07:00
Frank a17e638a1f frank-default-small: stronger tool template with a concrete worked example
The Avesed template only shows a generic format; the Qwen3.5-MoE
model kept emitting <function=get_weather(city=...)> (args baked into
the name). Add a WORKED EXAMPLE block derived from the actual tool
schema (name + parameter keys) to the system prompt.
2026-08-17 17:38:00 -07:00
Frank 20108e5b7a frank-default-small: use the repo chat_template.jinja so tools render in Qwen3 XML
The Avesed tokenizer_config.json ships no chat_template, so vLLM used its
built-in template, which does not render the <tool_call> instructions;
the model then emitted malformed XML (arguments baked into the function
name) and the qwen3_xml parser could not extract clean calls.
2026-08-17 17:13:35 -07:00
Frank 5108af11aa frank-default-small: enable tool calling (--enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser qwen3_xml)
Clients send tool_choice=auto; without these flags vLLM rejects with
HTTP 400. The Avesed chat template renders the Qwen3 XML tool format,
so qwen3_xml is the matching parser.

Frank 57264f7faa record performance fixes: FA_ALL_QUANTS build flag (dankserver), RDNA triton FA env (dankclaw)
- frank-default-large: GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS=ON is mandatory in the
  FastMTP build; without it q8_0 KV + FA falls back to a slow path and
  prefill collapses ~12x (95 -> 1312 t/s at 8K, measured)
- frank-default-small: FLASH_ATTENTION_TRITON_AMD_ENABLE=TRUE + pure-python
  flash_attn (triton_amd) + stub; without it the vision encoder warmup
  OOMs via torch SDPA
2026-08-17 16:30:22 -07:00

Frank d9af7f1d19 fleet redo 2026-08-17: retire PP+NPU, new topology
- Move all previous scripts to old/scripts/ (retired PP/NPU-era)
- frank-default-large: llama.cpp FastMTP on dankserver (HauhauCS
  Qwen3.8-27B IQ4_XS + FastMTP 32K draft + ngram-mod, K q8_0/V f16,
  128K ctx, batch 2048/ubatch 1024, port 7770)
- frank-default-small: vLLM ROCm on dankclaw (Avesed Qwen3.6-35B-A3B
  INT8 W8A8, full 262144 ctx, no KV quant, 4 seqs, batch 16384,
  ngram spec, port 52625)
- retarget deploy.sh (dankserver/dankclaw, inline sudo, no helpers)
- docs: deployment + index + AGENTS.md + README for new topology,
  superseded banners on retired docs, add frank-redo-2026-08-17 runbook
2026-08-17 15:23:46 -07:00
Frank 136ee080c9 docs: measured PP link math (H=5120 verified, 20.5 MB/ubatch wire), NIC inventory
- Ethernet Bandwidth Math: new section 0 with live measurements
  (iperf 281-294 MB/s, ping RTT both paths, prefill 457.9 t/s at
  2.5GbE, per-ubatch wire 20.5 MB, 98k KV snapshot 3.45 GB blocking
  the slot 13.6 s, validated link-speed model: 386/458/505 t/s)
- System specs: NIC tables for both boxes; the 1 GbE USB-C adapter on
  the claw was silently routing the RPC path (unplugged 2026-08-17)
- PP Deployment: fix hidden-state size (10 KiB/direction, H=5120) and
  RTT-vs-bandwidth claim (decode RTT-bound; prefill+snapshot BW-bound)
2026-08-17 05:06:41 -07:00
Frank 968066ff23 docs: boot policy (only PP units enabled), deploy.sh dankserver hazard, stale-claim cleanup
- deployment.md: Boot Policy (2026-08-17) section (disabled units table,
  re-enable recipes, stale frank-restart-small.sh helper, broken
  deploy.sh dankserver target); Update Dankserver -> frank-pp-worker;
  condensed retired 35B history block and 2026-08-13 incident
- AGENTS.md: boot-policy note, target map fix (Q6_K, split 0.68),
  deploy.sh dankserver warning, obsolete quirk entries condensed
- README.md: rewrite active services/models tables (PP head + worker)
- index.md: topology fix (qwythos:9b, Q6_K split 0.68, NPU disabled)
- qwen3.8-spec-matrix.md: superseded configs merged into compact
  history; stale inline env block removed; bundled-head MTP note
- FastFlowLM, PP Deployment: boot-policy + enablement notes
- System Specs x2, DFlash doc, 35B FP8 doc, Ling docs: stale active
  claims fixed, retired banners, never-shipped plan stubbed
2026-08-17 03:30:00 -07:00
Frank 3f88b8e1ed docs + script defaults: Q6_K swap, q8_0/f16 KV, split 0.68, FA rebuild
- spec matrix + PP doc + deployment.md + AGENTS.md + index.md: current
  production = Uncensored Q6_K + standalone MTP draft, mismatched
  q8_0/f16 KV with FA retained (GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS rebuild at
  9b05354ec), split 0.68 (45 blocks), KV 8624/3920, 273 MiB free.
- PP doc: 'FA-all-quants rebuild' section (flag, cmake commands, both
  hosts) + new-model split-limits measurements; old Q8_K_XL limits
  marked superseded.
- serve-pp-head.sh defaults: MODEL_FILE -> Q6_K, CACHE_TYPE_V -> f16
  (env already correct; defaults now match production).
2026-08-17 02:08:08 -07:00
Frank 11f37dafd8 frank-default-large: split 0.68,0.32 = 45 blocks on 3090 (Q6_K phase 2)
Max for the Q6_K + q8_0/f16 KV config: 45 blocks (0-44), 11 FA layers
(3..43), KV 8624 MiB, ~0.7 GiB free. 46 layers -> ~0.4 GiB margin; 48
layers (f>=0.7197) adds FA block 47 -> KV 9408 -> OOM by ~0.85 GiB.
Draft model measured on ROCm0 only (no worker impact). Phase 1 (0.53)
verified: acceptance 0.833, KV 6272/6272, flash_attn auto, healthy.
2026-08-17 02:05:04 -07:00
Frank 1bc39c43ce frank-default-large: swap to Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored Q6_K, q8_0/f16 KV
- MODEL_FILE -> Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Q6_K.gguf (22.43 GB, no bundled
  MTP head; repo ships a standalone draft sidecar)
- SPEC_DRAFT_MODEL -> Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-draft-Q8_0.gguf (3.16 GB)
- CACHE_TYPE_K=q8_0, CACHE_TYPE_V=f16 (mismatched, FA retained via the
  GGML_CUDA_FA_ALL_QUANTS rebuild of head HIP + worker CUDA at 9b05354ec)
- Split kept at 0.53 for phase 1 (Q6_K frees ~4.7 GiB on the worker at
  this split); re-maximize after measuring draft placement
- KV math: K 1088 B/token + V 2048 B/token = 784 MiB per FA layer

Frank e9ec5cd13f docs: NPU endpoint now serves qwythos:9b (2026-08-17 swap, FLM 1.0.1)
- AGENTS.md + deployment.md target maps: qwen3.6-moe:35b-a3b -> qwythos:9b
- FLM doc: FLM 1.0.1 upgrade record, flm-add install state, model swap
  paragraph (commit c85ff6c), FLM_CONFIG_PATH/FLM_XCLBIN_PATH requirement
- pi client entry note: id qwythos:9b, text-only input, developer-role compat kept
2026-08-17 01:24:43 -07:00
Frank aa1941d592 docs + guard: single 262k slot state, split-limits analysis, cache incident
- spec matrix + PP doc: production state = 1 slot @ 262144, split 0.53
  (34 blocks), KV 8192/8192, 3090 at 23460/24576. New 'Split limits
  (measured 2026-08-17)' section: 0.50/0.54/0.55 boundary data, the
  KV-per-device rounding rule (round(f x 66)), and why 35 blocks is
  unreachable (9-FA flip at f~0.538).
- PP doc: cache incident writeup - full Dankserver disk -> 0-byte cache
  entries -> corrupt weights -> degenerate output; fix + signature.
- deployment.md + AGENTS.md + index.md: numbers brought current.
- scripts/prune-rpc-cache.sh: cron guard capping the worker cache at
  40 GiB (oldest first) to prevent the disk-full recurrence.

Frank c85ff6c6fd frank-default-small: NPU model swap qwen3.6-moe:35b-a3b -> qwythos:9b (Huihui-Qwythos-9B-Claude-Mythos-5-1M-abliterated)
- FLM_MODEL=qwythos:9b, CTX 262144, turbo+asr kept
- Add FLM_CONFIG_PATH/FLM_XCLBIN_PATH: the custom tag lives in the user
  registry (~/.config/flm/model_list.json) + user xclbins; without them
  flm hits the unknown-tag fallback and serves llama3.2:1b silently
- Note FLM 0.9.45 -> 1.0.1 runtime upgrade (pack declares flm_version 1.0.0)
2026-08-17 01:22:32 -07:00
Frank 2b96043740 frank-default-large: split 0.53,0.47 - provably-safe max (34 blocks)
0.54 measured: weight boundary moved to 35 blocks but the KV-per-device
count (round(f x 66), independent of weight boundary) flipped to 9 FA ->
KV 9216 MiB -> OOM by ~740 MiB. The flip sits at f ~0.538, just below
the weight threshold for block 35 -> the 35-block config is unreachable.
0.53 gives 34 blocks (0-33), 8 FA, KV 8192 MiB under every rounding rule
(round/floor/ceil of 0.53x66 = 34.98 -> 34 or 35, never 36), predicted
~1.1 GiB free.
2026-08-17 01:21:21 -07:00
Frank 193034fdb8 frank-default-large: split 0.54,0.46 - 35 blocks on 3090 (0.55 overran to 36 -> OOM)
0.55 measured: 36 blocks (0-35) -> 9th FA block, KV 9216 MiB, cudaMalloc
OOM by ~740 MiB, crash loop. Exact GGUF math: layer pool 27720 MB + MTP
head; split assigns blocks while cumulative <= fraction x pool; cum(34)=
53.83%, cum(35)=55.31%. 0.54 lands 35 blocks (0-34), 8 FA layers, KV
8192 MiB, ~0.66 GiB free.

Frank accf90b6fa frank-default-large: split 0.55,0.45 = 35 blocks on the 3090 (true max)
GGUF block scan (2026-08-17): FA at 3,7,...,63; linear blocks 383 MiB,
FA blocks 446 MiB. 35 blocks (0-34) keep 8 FA layers on RPC0 -> KV stays
8192 MiB, predicted ~0.8 GiB free. Block 35 is FA: +1 GiB KV -> OOM.
Measured at 0.50: 22650/24576 used, 1477 free (the earlier 714 MiB
projection was conservative).
2026-08-17 00:34:58 -07:00
Frank 53ada02a63 frank-default-large: PARALLEL=1, CTX 262144, split 0.50 (max 3090 weight)
Single full-context slot instead of two half-context slots. The 3090 takes
~33 of 66 layers (up from 26): the VRAM budget frees up because the f16 KV
pool shrinks 401400 -> 262144. 33 layers is the max with a safety margin
(34 -> 244 MiB headroom, 35 -> OOM). Verified math: /tmp/vram-math.py from
live journal buffers.

Frank 7fe271e65d docs: llama.cpp stack at production state (2026-08-16) + sibling-project links
- spec matrix: new 'Production state' section — PP head (RPC0+ROCm0,
  split 0.40/0.60), pool 401400 / n_ctx_slot 200704 live, MTP n_max 4
  over ngram-mod fallback (journal acceptance stats), f16 KV.
  2026-08-15 standalone state marked superseded (Vulkan0 verdict was
  standalone-only; PP head runs ROCm0 by default).
- deployment.md: fix frank-default-large section (MTP not 'no draft',
  ROCm0 not Vulkan0, 200704/slot not 262144, f16 not q8_0 KV,
  serve-pp-head.sh not serve-llama-frank-large.sh).
