# LLM Fleet — Knowledge Base

Documentation for the LLM inference fleet on two local machines
(2026-08-24): upstream llama.cpp on Dankserver (frank-default-small,
Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B CRACK) and CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp on Dankclaw
(frank-default-large, kingjones Qwen3.8-27B ROCmFP4). Both services
run the Qwen-Sharp chat template.

> 2026-08-22: the former `vllmScripts` repository is merged into the
> serverAppConfigs repository. This knowledge base moved from the old repo's
> `docs/` root to `docs/LLM/`. The fleet scripts and units now live in the
> repo's `scripts/` directory.
