The 2026-10-09 wire aliases become the service names everywhere: systemd units, serve scripts, env files and FRANK_* variables, deploy-plan/deploy-remote service keys, container names, Prometheus job names + alert rules, Grafana dashboard queries, bats seams, runbook filenames, homepage/AGENTS lore, and historical prose. Rollback tags renamed in lockstep. Residue in the tree: zero. Retired frank-medium/small/npu names are history and stay. Known casualty: scripts/patches/*.patch context lines were rewritten; those retired-era vLLM-fork patches no longer apply byte-exact.

|
|
description: "The retired 2026-10-01 frank-zealot runbook — the first llama.cpp + GGUF shape on the RTX 3090: two native-window sessions, the asymmetric KV contract (f16 K + q8_0 V) that motivated the move off SGLang, the VRAM fit at Q6_K, and what to check when it misbehaves. Superseded the same night by the Q5_K_M payload."

# frank-zealot — llama.cpp MiMo-V2.6 Q6_K (RTX 3090)
|
|
|

|
|
> [[frank-zealot-llama-mimo-q5km]], the same runtime and shape one quant rung

> Original order (Frank, 2026-10-01 night): move this endpoint to the GGUF
|
|
> path for **asymmetric KV** — unquantized K + q8_0 V — which only llama.cpp

## Identity
|
|
|
|
|Field|Value|
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
|Endpoint|`192.168.0.143:7771`, served alias `frank-zealot`|
|
|
|Runtime|llama.cpp **master** (qwen35 model support), CUDA build `sm_86`, at `/home/dank/GitPackages/llama-master/build-cuda/bin/llama-server`|
|
|
|Payload|`bartowski/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B-GGUF` **Q6_K**, 7,793,710,624 B, sha256 `ef96d05a2ddf2cbb450d1af1ac3860ec769d3575bafa70692ee5609bda3fad7d`, at `/home/dank/models/MiMo-Q6K/`|
|
|
|Unit|root `frank-zealot.service` (repo `scripts/frank-zealot.service`, `User=dank`, relinked), env `scripts/frank-zealot.env`, serve `scripts/serve-frank-zealot.sh`|
|
|
|Repo pins|`tests/frank_zealot_unit.bats` (stub-argv seam), `deploy_llm_zealot` gates in `scripts/deploy-remote.sh`|
|
|
|
|
## Shape and the KV contract
|
|
|
|
`--ctx-size 524288 --parallel 2` — llama.cpp divides the pool across slots,
|
|
so each session gets `n_ctx_slot = 262144`, the model's full native window
|
|
(boot log confirms `n_slots = 2, n_ctx_slot = 262144, kv_unified = 'false'`).
|
|
|
|
Frank's KV contract: **K unquantized (f16), V `q8_0`** —
|
|
`--cache-type-k f16 --cache-type-v q8_0`. Two hard dependencies ride on it:
|
|
|
|
- **`--flash-attn on` is mandatory**: quantized V exists only on the FA
|
|
path. Without the flag the engine falls back silently and the contract
|
|
becomes a lie. The serve script pins the trio; the bats seam pins the
|
|
script.
|
|
- The VRAM budget: attention KV lives in the 8 full-attention layers only
|
|
(4 KV heads x 256 dim). K f16 ≈ 16 KiB/token, V q8_0 ≈ 8.5 KiB/token
|
|
(34 B per 32-element block) ⇒ ~24.5 KiB/token over the 524,288-token pool
|
|
≈ **12.6 GiB**. Weights 7.8 + KV 12.6 + compute buffers/graphs ≈
|
|
**20.9 GiB measured** against 24.5 GiB — the "room for checkpoints" the
|
|
order asked for. If graph capture OOMs, halve `CTX_SIZE`; never quantize
|
|
K to fix it.
|
|
|
|
## Client contract
|
|
|
|
- Thinking arrives in **`reasoning_content`** (`--reasoning-format
|
|
deepseek`) — the same field SGLang's qwen3 parser used, so `models.yml`
|
|
`reasoningContentField` did NOT move. Live-verified 2026-10-01 22:57.
|
|
- **Thinking is off unless the request asks**: the MiMo GGUF template
|
|
defaults `enable_thinking` false; `models.yml` now ships
|
|
`chat_template_kwargs: {enable_thinking: true, preserve_thinking: true}`
|
|
in `extraBody`. A raw client that omits it gets a no-thinking answer
|
|
(measured — this is not a fault).
|
|
- Tools: `--jinja` + server-side tool parsing, verified
|
|
`tool_calls` round-trip 2026-10-01 23:0x.
|
|
- **Text-only now.** The GGUF carries no vision projector; the
|
|
in-checkpoint tower existed only in the SGLang safetensors. `models.yml`
|
|
`input: [text]`.
|
|
|
|
## No spec decode (yet)
|
|
|
|
The GGUF has no MTP tensors (same fact that killed SGLang NEXTN), and the
|
|
cross-model DFlash draft (`/home/dank/models/DFlash-Qwen35/qwen3.5-9b-dflash-Q8_0.gguf`,
|
|
Q8_0) is an optimization-loop candidate, not a default — `--spec-type
|
|
draft-dflash` needs acceptance measured on this traffic first. The bats
|
|
seam fails if a draft flag ships unannounced.
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
No ccache, CUDA 12.4 system nvcc with `--gcc-install-dir`-free gcc-13 host
|
|
compiler (nvcc 12.4 rejects gcc ≥ 14):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmake -B build-cuda -S . -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DGGML_CUDA=ON \
|
|
-DCMAKE_CUDA_ARCHITECTURES=86 -DCMAKE_CUDA_HOST_COMPILER=/usr/bin/gcc-13 \
|
|
-DLLAMA_CURL=OFF -DGGML_CCACHE=OFF
|
|
cmake --build build-cuda -j 16 --target llama-server
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The SGLang venv (`/home/dank/GitPackages/sglang-cu128`) and the INT8
|
|
AutoRound payload (`/home/dank/models/MiMo-V2.6-Distill-Qwen-9B-INT8-W8A16-AutoRound`)
|
|
stay on disk as the rollback: repoint the unit's serve script and env from
|
|
git history (`git show frank-dragoon-gufo-q4kxl-20261001` era is BEFORE this;
|
|
use the parent of the 2026-10-01 night swap commit).
|
|
|
|
## When it misbehaves
|
|
|
|
- Port 7771 dark: `journalctl -u frank-zealot -n 50`; the serve script
|
|
exits 1 naming the missing file if the binary or GGUF moved.
|
|
- `No CUDA GPUs are available`: the 3090 vanished from the bus or the UVM
|
|
node is missing — `nvidia-modprobe -u -c=0` (the serve script runs it).
|
|
- Requests hang at first token while `/health` is 200: both slots busy —
|
|
two concurrent long generations are the ceiling by contract.
|
|
- Slow decode after a CTX change: check `nvidia-smi` — swapping KV out of
|
|
VRAM into unified memory halves the rate silently.
