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 slots. 2026-08-15: DSpark multi-slot crashed the ROCm backend # (illegal memory access, status 6/ABRT) under two concurrent 16k prose # prompts, so DSpark was retired and --spec-default (ngram-mod) is used. # ngram-mod is draftless and passed the strict parallel test historically. # PARALLEL=2 is the current trial; pin to 1 if the 2x32k stream test fails. PARALLEL=2 # Spec: llama.cpp --spec-default preset = ngram-mod (n_match 24, n_min 48, # n_max 64). No draft model. Switched from DSpark 2026-08-15 after the # DSpark multi-slot ROCm crash.

Vulkan0 selected 2026-08-15 for high # context: at 262144 ctx (~200k prompt) Vulkan generates ~5.7 t/s vs ROCm # ~3.8 t/s (48% faster decode), while ROCm prefills ~12% faster (119 vs 106 # t/s).
