# Tunables for frank-default-large (unsloth Qwen3.8-27B UD-Q8_K_XL, dankclaw) # Runtime: llama.cpp llama-server (b10433+, rebuilt 2026-08-14 for bundled-MTP # support); AMD Strix Halo (gfx1151) 96GB UMA; Ryzen AI MAX+ 395.

Qwen3.8 native context = 262144 per sequence. # 524288 total / PARALLEL 2 = 262144 per slot, matching the pi client's # contextWindow=262144 for frank-default-large.

CTX_SIZE=524288 PARALLEL=2 # Spec: draft-mtp uses the MTP drafter BUNDLED inside the target GGUF. # llama.cpp auto-detects it (b10411+). DRAFT_FILE stays EMPTY. # # Winner = draft-mtp, n_max=5, p_min off. # Realistic-prompt tuning (2026-08-14, temp 0.8, production settings): # n4 12.5 | n5 13.3 (PEAK) | n6 10.6 | n7 10.1 | n10 8.6 | baseline none 7.2. # The 54-config matrix (repetitive "fleet" prompt) reported n_max=10 ~30 t/s, # but that prompt MTP drafts almost perfectly; long drafts collapse to ~18% # acceptance on real writing, so n_max=10 is actually ~8.6 t/s there. # Layered draft-mtp,ngram-mod is faster on paper (matrix median 133 t/s) but # non-deterministic (10-148 t/s) and showed a degenerate instant-EOS -> the # same premature-stop class that retired DFlash. Rejected as production-unsafe. # p_min off: --spec-draft-p-min 0.8 was neutral to slightly worse for draft-mtp. # No premature-stop on realistic text at ubatch 256 (see batch notes below); # the earlier 'premature EOS' on the repetitive bench prompt was sampling # variance, not a corruption bug.
