Frank a7329d190f feat(qwen38): the BF16 reference instrument - build it, drain once, record logits
Two tools the KLD gate depends on.

build-qwen38-bf16-rad.sh converts the checkpoint to a BF16 .rad with NO recipe
line, so every tensor stays bf16 - the reference must not carry the quantization
it is there to measure. It gates before writing 335 GiB: the checkpoint present
and fully verified by the fetcher's own verifier, the peak-disk bill (350,000
MiB: the checkpoint's 343,323 plus margin, because the .rad is built beside it),
an existing output retired to ~/.AGENTTRASH by --force instead of deleted, and
--plan-only before the real convert. --max-ctx 32768 is a declare-time check, not
a weight change: dropped, the resolver is handed the checkpoint's 262,144 window,
which at fp8 cache is 258.8 GiB on a 192 GiB machine.

run-qwen38-bf16.sh serves that container in three modes - kldref (record the
reference logits), score (record an arm's logits against that reference), calib
(open the Gram tap for the imatrix). It drains frank-archon and restores it on
every exit path, and the two logits modes ride ONE step size
(FRANK_QWEN38_MNBT, default 2048) and ONE window (FRANK_QWEN38_MAX_MODEL_LEN,
default 32768) so a reference and an arm cannot be measured at different shapes:
that is the whole validity of the KL number. Four slots over 2,048 matches
frank-archon.env's operating point (MAX_SEQS=4, MAX_BATCHED_TOKENS=2048); the
smaller host pool (12,288 vs 49,152) buys residency, which moves speed, not
logits. calib keeps 65,536 - decode-bound serving, never the gate.

kldref refuses before the drain when the corpus's longest record cannot fit the
declared window (limit = window x 3 chars, the pessimistic tokenizer bound; the
measured corpus is 38,263 chars, 2.6x inside 32,768). It runs on --dry-run too,
so the check is visible before a 20-minute drain is spent. 12 seam tests, each
red-proofed by neutralising the gate it pins.

AI Disclosures:

  • Slop rating: 2/5 - Actively using, actively de-slopping, repository mostly human owned, lacks formal process.
  • Completeness: Unfinished, planning planned, no plan yet
  • Datacenter model/spend: Less than $20 of Deepseek 4.1 Flash and GLM-5.3-Flash
  • Local model: Qwen 3.8 Flash Next

slop rating of 2 or lower indicates human reading is a worthwhile exercise, and that Frank has read the code and knows the architecture.

slop rating of 2 indicates that while this project is human owned, no human contribution process exists and/or release is agentically driven.

The single repository for the two homelab servers: the Podman container stacks and the LLM inference fleet. One repo, one checkout per host, one deploy script.

2026-08-22: the former vllmScripts repository (LLM fleet) is merged into this repo with its full git history. See AGENTS.md for the merge note.

Structure

  • dankserver/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankserver stack
  • dankclaw/ — compose.yaml + Caddyfile + .env.example for the Dankclaw stack
  • shared/ — homepage, prometheus config, deploy helpers
  • scripts/ — deploy.sh and deploy-remote.sh (service-scoped deployment), the planner, LLM serve scripts, systemd units, env tunables, and bench harnesses
  • old/ — retired PP/NPU-era LLM scripts (reference only)
  • serverAppConfigs-docs/ — project knowledge base (Obsidian vault, wikilinks). serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/ is the LLM fleet
  • tests/ — bats test suite (see Testing Policy)

Deployment

See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Deployment Flow.md and serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/deployment.md. Run ./scripts/deploy.sh <dankclaw|dankserver> after committing changes. It plans and deploys only the changed services. Use --service NAME for an explicit single-service retry; inference is restarted only when its own files (or the shared chat template) changed.

Knowledge Base

The serverAppConfigs-docs/ directory is an Obsidian vault. Start at serverAppConfigs-docs/index.md. The LLM fleet knowledge base lives at serverAppConfigs-docs/LLM/index.md.

Testing

Run ./tests/run.sh before every push. See serverAppConfigs-docs/Architecture/Testing Policy.md.
