# frank-large — gufo (gufo-org/gufo) serving # Swift-1.5-Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored (abliterated) on the Strix Halo iGPU. # # These are the tunables read by scripts/serve-frank-large.sh. The flag # list is owned by the serve script; this file only sets fleet values. # # DO NOT name a new tunable TEMP, HOST or GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE: the HIP # runtime reads those bare (the 2026-08-13 TEMP incident). HOST is the one # exception because the serve script itself consumes it for --host. # The target payload (scripts/download-frank-large-q4.sh): the serve script # refuses to start without the main GGUF and the DFlash2 drafter. # # 2026-10-01 swap (Frank): unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL, 16.35 GiB, # replacing ajgazin's abliterated Swift-1.5 UD-Q8_K_XL (29.3 GiB). Two # consequences worth knowing at a glance: # * this is the VANILLA (non-abliterated) Qwen3.8-27B — the endpoint is no # longer uncensored, which was one of the reasons the Swift payload was # chosen on 2026-09-28; # * ~13 GiB of weights became available for KV, which is what makes four # full-sized f16 sessions fit. # gufo needs no template for either: its Qwen renderer is compiled in.

It has a sliding # window of 2048, which is what keeps its KV small (~40 MiB).

The KV is UNQUANTIZED (f16) — # gufo has no KV quantization lever at all (execution_policy.hpp pins # kv_cache_storage to kFp16), so "unquantized" is inherent rather than # configured. # # The arithmetic: f16 KV costs 64 KiB/token on this model (16 full-attention # layers x 4 KV heads x 256 head_dim x 2 (K,V) x 2 bytes; the other 48 layers # are linear-attention with a per-SEQUENCE fp32 state of ~144 MiB, not a # per-token cache). 262,144 tokens = 16.0 GiB of KV. Budget: weights 16.35 + # KV 16.0 + drafter 1.07 + linear state 0.14 + runtime ~4 = ~37.6 GiB against # the 114 GiB GTT — enormous headroom; the session count or context policy # can grow from here without pressure.
