Structural repair: - 13 pages were the same document twice (each exactly 2x its HEAD size), a second frontmatter block whose closing fence had been glued onto a body line by a frontmatter rewrite that re-read its own output. Un-doubled by cutting at the second frontmatter and keeping the copy whose body is a superset; the orphan census reports 0 lost tokens against HEAD. - log.md: one entry per date, bare `## YYYY-MM-DD` headings, newest first — 66 dated headings merged into 34, titles demoted to bold leads, every content line verified present. The file had been descending at the head and ascending at the tail. Ownership moves: - New `LLM/frank-medium.md` is the locator for the retired Dankserver endpoint: era windows quoted from each era page's own banner, no numbers restated, and the two unresolved date conflicts recorded instead of silently resolved. `frank-archon.md` links to it instead of restating the pre-rename window. - The four Pipeline-Parallelism stubs (frontmatter only, no body) are gone; `Multi-Node Runtimes.md` owns runtime construction, launch, mixed-vendor verdicts and cross-split spec decode, and the four links that pointed at the stubs were repointed at it or at the drafter page. - Authentik's three stub pages fold into `Authentik.md`, with the process detail and the outpost reference split out so the parent stays under the length hint. Verified corrections (host census + live probe, 2026-10-19): - The MXFP4 checkpoint two pages called the "on-disk rollback" is gone: /home/dank/models/ holds StillDeadcode, rad and tpl.jinja. Stated once, on the era page that owns that payload; the swap page now links to it. - frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4: the 4.24/7 accept rate belongs to the DFlash2 arm measured on the FP8 target, not to the MXFP4 era; the 3-family soak run census is kept once (155 requests) instead of twice (~120 and 155). - Fleet shapes re-confirmed against the live endpoints before touching any page: 3x200000 fp8 KV, 2x200704, 2x262144. Index rows are regenerated, not hand-carved. Net -1,849 vault lines.

# frank-medium (retired) — the Dankserver endpoint before frank-archon
|
|
|
|
`frank-medium` was the LLM service on Dankserver port 7770. It is **not** a live
|
|
endpoint: the same port is [[frank-archon]] today, and [[frank-archon]] owns every
|
|
shape served from 2026-09-26 onward, including the `frank-medium` → `frank-archon`
|
|
name cutover dated 2026-10-10 in `AGENTS.md`. This page owns only the **locator** —
|
|
which era page holds which payload's evidence — and carries no measurements: every
|
|
number stays in the era page that measured it.
|
|
|
|
## Eras
|
|
|
|
Windows are quoted from each era page's own banner; no date here is derived.
|
|
|
|
| Window | Runtime | Payload | Shape | Page | Rollback |
|
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
| 2026-09-15 → 2026-09-16 | llama.cpp, ROCmFPX fork pinned at commit `36e9acd` | `Qwen3.8-27B-Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT.gguf` (custom tensor type 103) | single card; the fork is the only loader | [[frank-medium-rocmfpx]] | re-fetch the GGUF, rebuild the fork |
|
|
| 2026-09-16 → 2026-09-19 | vllm-radiance on the old TUF GAMING B650-E board | ParoQuant MXFP4 | two single-GPU replicas behind an adaptive-routing proxy | [[frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4]] (sections below its deployed-shape header) | the replica pair is reconstructable from that page's flags |
|
|
| 2026-09-16 → 2026-09-20 | llama.cpp `fb27a525`, ROCm `7.14.0a` | its own GGUF build, DFlash drafter | `-sm layer` split across the two cards, drafter pinned to one device | [[frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2]] | the page is the named rollback target for the llama shape |
|
|
| 2026-09-20 → disputed, see Open questions | vllm-radiance on the replacement ProArt board | ParoQuant MXFP4, then MXFP6 (`paroquant_mxfp6`) with bf16 KV | `--tensor-parallel-size 2` over x8/x8 Gen5 root ports | [[frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4]] (deployed-shape header) | re-fetch the MXFP4 checkpoint (host census 2026-10-19: not local); image `localhost/radiance-vllm:0.9.3` |
|
|
|
|
`[[frank-medium-batch-ubatch]]` is not an era: it is the batch-versus-ubatch sweep run
|
|
on the layer-split pair at its deployed shape, and its numbers belong to that
|
|
campaign. `[[frank-medium-model-swap]]` is likewise a campaign ledger — the record of
|
|
the 2026-09-20 swap procedure — while the procedure itself is owned by
|
|
[[Model Swap and Rollback]].
|
|
|
|
## Laws
|
|
|
|
None restated. Each era page carries its own laws and links them to the technique
|
|
page that owns the mechanism ([[PCIe Link and Atomics]],
|
|
[[Llama Cpp Multi-Device Splits]], [[DFlash DSpark Speculative Decoding]],
|
|
[[Llama Cpp Serving Sizing]], [[Dual-R9700-Cooperation]]).
|
|
|
|
## Open questions
|
|
|
|
Two date claims in the era pages do not reconcile, and both are left standing rather
|
|
than silently corrected:
|
|
|
|
- `frank-medium-rocmfpx.md` banner says the MXFP4 stack replaced that era and, in the
|
|
next sentence, names [[frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2]] as the active successor. The
|
|
MXFP4 replica era and the llama layer-split era both open on 2026-09-16, so which
|
|
one directly followed the ROCmFPX fork cannot be settled from the repo.
|
|
- `frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4.md` dates its own retired era to 2026-10-10, while
|
|
[[frank-archon]]'s Eras table opens on 2026-09-26. The gap is either an unrecorded
|
|
fortnight on that endpoint or a stale banner; nothing else in the repo covers
|
|
2026-09-26 → 10-10 for port 7770.
|
|
|
|
## Files
|
|
|
|
No repo files own this endpoint: its units, env and serve scripts were renamed to
|
|
`frank-archon` on 2026-10-10 and are owned by [[frank-archon]]. `scripts/old/` holds
|
|
retired serve scripts from these eras as reference only.
