# frank-secondary — llama.cpp (master, CUDA sm_86) serving # HauhauCS/Gemma4-26B-A4B-QAT-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Balanced-MTP # (Q4_K_M) on the RTX 3090, :7771. # # 2026-10-07 (Frank): swap from Swift-1.5-Qwen3.8-27B RCO-IQ3_XXS to # Gemma4-26B-A4B Q4_K_M, ONE 200,704 context, f16 K + q8_0 V, # MTP DISABLED (SPEC_TYPE=none), log verbosity 4. # # Architecture (read from the file's own header at load): gemma4 MoE — 30 # layers, 128 experts (8 active), sliding_window_pattern = 25 sliding # (window 1024, n_head_kv 8) + 5 full-attention (layers 5/11/17/23/29, # n_head_kv 2), head_dim 256, attention_k_eq_v, native 262,144 window. # # KV rate law (measured, exact): the cache bills the K+V pair TWICE under # attention_k_eq_v — 6.125 B/elem at f16 K + q8_0 V, 2.125 B/elem at # q8_0/q8_0. Full cache = 5 x 2 x 256 x rate x ctx; SWA cache = 25 x 1024 x # 8 x 256 x rate. There is no true fp8 KV dtype in this build; q8_0 is the # FP8 class. # # MTP is OFF: SPEC_TYPE=none strips --spec-type AND --spec-draft-model # (spec flags move as a set). The assistant file # (mtp-gemma-4-26B-A4B-it.gguf, 0.252 GiB) stays on disk as the drafter # payload if MTP is ever re-enabled. Measured VRAM: MTP ON booted # 23,806 used / 319 free; MTP OFF boots 21,890 used / 2,235 free.
