Frank b2a74004df frank-large: swap to Kairic Edge 27B IU4 (W4A4) on Strix Halo
Replace the unsloth llama.cpp prebuilt (b11030, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next
UD-IQ4_XS, 125B MoE) with the Kairic Edge runtime (ciru-ai/ROCmFPX,
branch kairic-edge-qwen38-27b-v1.2, commit 205a3e5) serving
jcbtc/Qwen3.8-27B-IU4-Kairic-Edge (27B dense, IU4 W4A4).

- Runtime: built from source (scripts/build-kairic-edge-gfx1151.sh),
  TheRock 7.15.0a20260718 toolchain, CK fdf4bb7f + gfx1151-iu4 patch.
- Shape: one stream, full 262144 context (the model's native window),
  1 slot, 8 GiB prompt-cache budget.
- Spec method: native MTP depth 4 + n-gram drafting (24/64/64). DFlash
  is NOT available for this model (no DRAFT_DFLASH spec type).
- Compatibility mode: the harness needs sampling, tools and a reasoning
  budget, which fast-greedy rejects. COMPATIBILITY_MODE=1 enables them.
- Reasoning: enabled (auto + deepseek format, thoughts land in
  reasoning_content).
- Payload: 4 files (15.5 GiB GGUF + 7.99 GiB FFN + 1.88 GiB GDN + 0.70
  GiB GDN-Output), sha256-verified (scripts/download-frank-large-kairic.sh).

Server App Configs

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.
