Unlike MTP, ngram-mod needs no draft context: common/speculative.cpp adds the ngram types unconditionally while the model-backed drafters are gated on ctx_dft != nullptr, so 'draft-dflash,ngram-mod' is structurally allowed (and the config vector's fixed order -- ngram first, then the drafters -- makes CLI order irrelevant). The harness grows the two things this question needs: --configs, and an ECHO shape. ngram-mod can only ever match text that is present in the prompt, so measuring it on prose calls it useless and measuring DFlash on echo calls it wasteful; both shapes now run, and the greedy text of each is compared across configurations because speculation may not change answers.

# UD-Q8_K_XL + z-lab/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF Q8_0 drafter), mainline llama.cpp
|
|
# on Dankserver, 2x AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 (gfx1201). Since 2026-09-16 this
|
|
# is the SOLE LLM runtime on the box: the vllm-radiance replica pair and its
|
|
# routing proxy are retired.
|
|
#
|
|
# Hardware: two R9700 (Navi 48, RDNA4, 32,624 MiB each), no XGMI, different
|
|
# IOMMU groups -- every cross-card byte goes over PCIe. The Raphael iGPU
|
|
# (gfx1036/Radeon 610M) enumerates as HIP device 2 and is hidden below so
|
|
# nothing can drift onto shared system RAM.
|
|
#
|
|
# WHY LAYER SPLIT AND NOT TENSOR (operator call, 2026-09-16): tensor parallel
|
|
# needs a cross-card allreduce per layer, and this host cannot dispatch one.
|
|
# RCCL's kernels carry a hidden hostcall-buffer parameter, and ROCr refuses it
|
|
# on a device without PCIe atomics -- the second card sits behind the B650
|
|
# chipset bridges (AtomicOpsCap: Routing-, read-only), so every collective that
|
|
# touches it dies with hipErrorIllegalState. Measured on this box 2026-09-15
|
|
# (llama-bench, pp4096 / tg128, f16 KV, fa on):
|
|
#
|
|
# single R9700 1160.9 / 19.42
|
|
# layer 2x 1991.2 / 18.76 (859.1 / 17.64 at depth 32768)
|
|
# tensor 2x 271.8 / 26.26 (no RCCL: butterfly fallback, -7x prefill)
|
|
#
|
|
# Layer split distributes layers in order; only the activation at the boundary
|
|
# crosses the wire, once per forward pass. That is the "pipeline parallelism"
|
|
# this service wanted, and it needs no collective at all.
|
|
#
|
|
# Runtime: mainline llama.cpp master fb27a525 (2026-09-16), gfx1201, built by
|
|
# scripts/build-llama-rdna4.sh against a private ROCm 7.14.0a20260624 toolchain
|
|
# that is bundled next to the binary (RPATH $ORIGIN/../lib, no LD_LIBRARY_PATH).
|
|
# The ref is pinned by TWO features: DFlash2 (ggml-org/llama.cpp#27342 -- the
|
|
# drafter is detected from its GGUF) and qwen35 MTP. Do not float it.
|
|
#
|
|
# Model: ajgazin/Swift-Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-Dynamic-MTP-GGUF @ UD-Q8_K_XL,
|
|
# 29.29 GiB, arch qwen35, Unsloth Dynamic 3.0 (per-tensor types from Unsloth's
|
|
# own quant of the same size, on Unsloth's importance matrix). Abliteration is
|
|
# orcarouter's single refusal direction projected out of 131 tensors; the vision
|
|
# tower is untouched but unused here (text only, see NO_MMPROJ). The file also
|
|
# carries the model's MTP head (blk.64.nextn.*), so a file-level switch to
|
|
# --spec-type draft-mtp is available without a second copy in VRAM.
|
|
#
|
|
# Drafter: z-lab/Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-GGUF @ Q8_0, 1.92 GiB: 5 layers, hidden
|
|
# 5120, block-diffusion proposal with the candidate selector. Decoding stays
|
|
# lossless -- the target verifies every drafted token.
|
|
#
|
|
# Architecture (GGUF arch qwen35): 64 layers as 16 x (3 x (Gated DeltaNet ->
|
|
# FFN) + 1 x (Gated Attention -> FFN)) -- 48 linear-attention layers whose
|
|
# per-sequence state is CONSTANT-SIZE, 16 full-attention layers at 4 KV heads x
|
|
# 256 head_dim. A token therefore costs 2 x 4 x 256 x 2 B = 64 KiB of KV at f16
|
|
# in the attention layers only, plus ~0.16 GiB per sequence of f32 DeltaNet
|
|
# state at any depth.
|
|
#
|
|
# SIZING, measured (rocm-smi, 2026-09-16). Weights split across the two cards;
|
|
# the drafter rides the second. The loader's compute buffers are part of what
|
|
# is seen below -- they are allocated at load, not per request:
|
|
#
|
|
# CTX_SIZE GPU 0 GPU 1 headroom on the busier card
|
|
# 131072 19.89 GB 24.30 GB 9.9 GB / 31 %

|
# 262144 24.72 GB 29.14 GB 5.07 GB / 15 % <- deployed
|
|
#
|
|
# 262144 is the window the model ships (n_ctx_train) and it fits with room, so
|
|
# the fleet gets the whole thing; the arithmetic that used to cap this endpoint
|
|
# at 114688 was the vLLM predecessor's, not this runtime's. If a future change
|
|
# adds VRAM (a longer drafter, quantized KV, more slots) re-read the numbers
|
|
# rather than assuming, and prefer CTX_SIZE over --gpu-layers.

# MTP vs the drafter, MEASURED 2026-09-16 (temperature 0, 1k prompt / 512 out;

# the autoregressive baseline and both MTP depths were run against the deployed

# All four produced IDENTICAL greedy text, so verification is lossless whichever

# proposer runs. DFlash2 is worth 2.46x over autoregressive and 34 % over the
|
|
# best MTP; deeper MTP drafting costs more than it returns (n=7 accepts 33 % of
|
|
# 147 proposals, n=3 accepts 58 % of 72). The MTP head is not free either:
|
|
# selecting it loads blk.64.nextn.* and adds ~3.3 GB to the card that holds it,

|
|
# A chain has ONE draft context, and MTP builds against whatever model that

# context holds -- here the DFlash2 file, which has no MTP layers. MTP's head is
|
|
# only loaded when MTP IS the draft model ("creating MTP draft context against

# the target model ..."), so a chain of the two is a structural dead end, not a
|
|
# tuning question. See serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2.md.

# ngram-mod: the draftless n-gram matcher (CPU hash table, no VRAM, no model

|
# context, so `--spec-type draft-dflash,ngram-mod` is structurally allowed. The
