Frank's call 2026-10-01: MAXLEN 262144 x SEQS 3 = 786,432 tokens of contract. Measured fp8 KV costs 7,698 B/token (4-slot boot 8,311,013,376 B -> 1,079,582 tokens; 5-slot boot 10,388,766,720 B -> 1,350,182 tokens), so the pool floor for the contract is 6.054e9 B. Pinned at 6,100,000,000 (~792k tokens, ~5.9k margin) so the remaining ~2.2 GiB versus the 4-slot shape goes to the expert ARENA - the fork sizes its decode-critical expert cache from the remainder after weights, pool and workspace. MNBT 2048 (Frank): the arena sweep measured 6,499 slots at every rung <= 4096, so the larger batch costs the arena nothing. Seam retargeted (3 seqs / 6.1e9 / MNBT 2048); docs + AGENTS row + log updated, including the closed DCP investigation.

# Seam: frank-primary — the Dankserver LLM endpoint on :7770.
|
|
#
|
|
# This file asserts the tcclaviger RDNA4 vLLM ROOT-UNIT shape (the
|
|
# 2026-10-01 BF16 cutover, the overnight redo campaign's verdict): the serve
|
|
# script drives `podman run` DIRECTLY (the image entrypoint execs
|
|
# `vllm serve`), with every engine flag qualified by boot probe and carried
|
|
# in the repo env file. The seam pins what the flags alone do not say: the
|
|
# KV qualification law (the night ladder: 262144/245760 OOM at graph
|
|
# capture; 241664 boots at 732,359 tokens / 3.03x, util 0.98;
|
|
# the bf16-KV trade (double the attention-KV bytes/token, ~14% decode cost,
|
|
# clean cache + 262k windows), the automatic-offload law (the fork plans
|
|
# the tiered-expert offload itself; no flag exists to set), the self-healing
|
|
# law (the run returns before the engine is up, so the serve script must
|
|
# wait on the container for Restart=on-failure to mean anything), the
|
|
# memlock law that makes the pinned host rows legal, the deployer's
|
|
# image/payload gates with the false-green MainPID check, and the measured
|
|
# laws: expert prefetch ABSENT (36% precision), NO speculative decode (the
|
|
# no-spec family measured fastest once the prefetch tax was removed; MTP
|
|
# re-measures pending), gather geometry 32x64 PRESENT (+18.7% decode),
|
|
# MNBT 1024 (Frank's lock), and the client contract (reasoning parser qwen3,
|
|
# tool parser qwen3_xml, preserve_thinking on).
