The radiance TP=2 cutover changed the metric namespace frank-medium exports (llamacpp:* -> vllm:*) and left two scrape targets addressing host processes by an address a container cannot reach. - shared/prometheus/rules/llm-fleet.yml: two namespaces side by side. Added LlmRequestsWaiting, LlmKvCacheSaturated (vllm-only gauges llama.cpp never had), the job:llm_vllm_prefix_cache_reuse:rate5m and job:llm_spec_accept_length:rate5m recording rules, and re-cut LlmPrefixCacheCollapse / LlmSpecDecodeOff to OR both families with per-family traffic floors so an idle endpoint cannot fire them. Every expression validated against live Prometheus. - shared/prometheus/prometheus.yml: frank-small -> host.containers.internal:7771 and frank-large scraped at host.containers.internal:7770. Both are HOST processes on Dankclaw and netavark DNATs published container ports only, so the LAN-IP targets were red by construction; frank-large's CIRU llama.cpp build does export the llamacpp:* family, contra the old comment. - tests/observability_quadlet.bats: the two seams now encode the new contract (per-endpoint reachability by process type; every named series must be on the measured list for its engine; engine-independent rules must name both). - homepage docs.html/services.json: frank-medium sees pictures, frank-large is CIRU Orca with a single seat (was halogen w4b, two seats, 200k). - docs: radiance runbook is ACTIVE (deployed flags, three-arm battery, verified capabilities, rollback, replica-era sections labelled); llama.cpp runbook carries the SUPERSEDED banner; Dual-R9700-Cooperation states the measured verdict; Observability records the namespace split and the DNAT lesson; AGENTS.md topology/frank-medium/Model Config/Benchmarking Policy/runbook index flipped; both indexes updated; work-log entry added. Also repaired agent-pass damage: prose prepended above frontmatter openers, duplicated runbook bodies, a literal tool-call token pasted into a runbook, and an index destroyed by diff artifacts (restored from HEAD, flips re-applied). Vault link check: 128 pages, 0 unresolved. ./tests/run.sh: 325 pass.

# LLM Fleet — Knowledge Base
|

|
||
Documentation for the LLM inference fleet on the two hosts (2026-09-20):
|
||
**vllm-radiance on Dankserver** serving frank-medium as ONE tensor-parallel
|
||
process across both Radeon AI PRO R9700 cards (just1moremodel
|
||
Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored MXFP4-awq + the z-lab DFlash2-FP8 drafter, TP=2 over the
|
||
R4D one-shot allreduce), and TWO endpoints on Dankclaw — the CIRU v4.4.1
|
||
runtime (frank-large, jcbtc Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-Orca w4b on the gfx1151
|
||
iGPU, port 7770) and mainline llama.cpp (frank-small, HauhauCS Gemma4-12B QAT
|
||
Q4_K_M with MTP and vision on the RTX 3090, port 7771).
|
||
|
||
> 2026-08-22: the former `vllmScripts` repository is merged into the
|
||
> serverAppConfigs repository. This knowledge base moved from the old repo's
|

## Active Deployment
|
||
|
||
- [[frank-medium-radiance-mxfp4]] — the ACTIVE frank-medium runbook since
|
||
2026-09-20: vllm-radiance MXFP4 (stilldeadcode/vllm-radiance:0.9.3 +
|
||
ggz14/radiance-vllm-mxfp4 patches) serving
|
||
just1moremodel/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-MXFP4-awq with the z-lab DFlash2-FP8
|
||
drafter as ONE tensor-parallel process (TP=2) behind :7770 — the three-arm
|
||
battery that chose it, the auto-sized 943,581-token KV pool, verified
|
||
capabilities (tools, reasoning, vision), and the record of the 2026-09-16
|
||
two-replica era
|
||
- [[frank-medium-llamacpp-dflash2]] — RETIRED 2026-09-16 → 2026-09-20: mainline
|
||
llama.cpp serving orcarouter/Qwen3.8-27B-Uncensored-GGUF at Q8_0 with the
|
||
DFlash2 Q4_K_M drafter as ONE layer-split process (32:33 over two
|
||
163,840-token slots); superseded by the radiance TP=2 cutover, and the
|
||
rollback target. Keeps the batch/ubatch optimum curve and the per-layer split
|
||
arithmetic
|
||
- [[Dual-R9700-Cooperation]] — whether the two R9700s can serve ONE model: the
|
||
RCCL/PCIe-atomics wall on the old TUF GAMING B650-E, the 2026-09-20 ProArt
|
||
B850-Creator x8/x8 swap that cleared it, and the measured three-way verdict
|
||
(radiance TP=2 95.8 t/s decode vs layer split 45.7 vs llama tensor mode 30.5)
|
||
that put TP=2 in production
|
||
- [[frank-medium-rocmfpx]] — PRIOR frank-medium deployment (llama.cpp era,
|
||
2026-09-15): charlie12345/ROCmFPX serving
|
||
kingjones777/Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT-GGUF; kept as the record of the
|
||
runtime it replaced
|
||
- [[freetoken-frank-small]] — RETIRED 2026-09-15, when the RTX 3090 moved to
|
||
frank-large: the FreeToken v0.1.2 frank-small runbook (batsclamp
|
||
Huihui-Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-abliterated-FP8), kept as the retirement record. The
|
||
NAME was reused on 2026-09-16 by a different service on Dankclaw — see
|
||
[[frank-small-qwen38-gsq-rco]]
|
||
- [[freetoken-benchmark-sweep]] — KV pool vs decode speed sweep
|
||
(bs1/bs3/bs4/bs6, 8k–700k KV) on Dankserver RTX 3090
|
||
- [[deployment]] — deploy and update process for both servers
|
||
- [[frank-redo-2026-08-17]] — the 2026-08-17 topology change
|
||
- [[frank-large-ciru-orca]] — ACTIVE frank-large runbook since 2026-09-19
|
||
(root systemd unit, port 7770): the CIRU v4.4.1 runtime (private host build,
|
||
QSA hotfix) serving jcbtc/Qwen3.8-Flash-CIRU-STRIX-Orca w4b on the gfx1151
|
||
iGPU — one 262,144-token conversation, MTP depth 4, 4096 MiB PLE cache,
|
||
runtime-root gate, client contract, troubleshooting
|
||
- [[halogen-flash-server]] — RETIRED 2026-09-19 (replaced by
|
||
[[frank-large-ciru-orca]]; rollback target): peonist-ai halogen-flash-server
|
||
0.5.8 serving peonist-ai/halogen-qwen3.8-flash-next (Qwen3.8-Flash-Next w4b
|
||
.hgn + quality overlay) on the gfx1151 iGPU — two 200k conversations over one
|
||
400,384-position pool, deployed flags, memory model, client contract,
|
||
troubleshooting (2026-09-16 → 09-19)
|
||
- [[frank-small-gemma4-12b]] — ACTIVE frank-small runbook since 2026-09-17
|
||
(root systemd unit, port 7771): mainline llama.cpp serving
|
||
HauhauCS/Gemma4-12B-QAT-Uncensored-HauhauCS-Balanced Q4_K_M on the RTX
|
||
3090, with the separate MTP assistant sidecar chained behind ngram-mod,
|
||
q8_0 KV, and `--fit` sizing the full 262k window into ~12 GiB. A same-day
|
||
vLLM detour (2026-09-19) was reverted the same day; see below.
|
||
- [[frank-small-vllm-gemma4]] — RETIRED 2026-09-19 (same-day revert,
|
||
rollback target): vLLM serving google/gemma-4-12B-it-qat-w4a16-ct (w4a16
|
||
Marlin) with the bf16 MTP assistant on the RTX 3090 — bf16 KV, 289,647-
|
||
token pool, 2 concurrent full-context sessions, native text+image+audio.
|
||
- [[frank-small-qwen38-gsq-rco]] — RETIRED 2026-09-17 (rollback target): the
|
||
prior frank-small runbook (2026-09-16 → 09-17), ISTA-DASLab
|
||
Qwen3.8-27B-GSQ-RCO IQ3_S with the model's own in-file MTP head and
|
||
f16 KV at 131k
|
||
- [[x4-pair-experiment]] — MEASURED 2026-09-16: what mainline llama.cpp can and
|
||
cannot do with the 3090 + Strix Halo pair, over their only link (the 3090's
|
||
Gen4 x4). The tensor inventory that decides any split, the single flag (`-ot`)
|
||
that kills per-tensor placement across devices, the two-device layer splits
|
||
that work (+7 % decode at 64k, cross-vendor included), the harness-parsing trap
|
||
that invalidated the first round, and the iGPU-only result that matches
|
||
halogen's deployed decode rate — at a memory cost the co-tenants cannot pay
|
||
- [[frank-large-ik-uncensored]] — RETIRED 2026-09-16 (rollback target): the
|
||
ik_llama.cpp runbook (root systemd unit, 2026-09-15 → 09-16) serving
|
||
mradermacher/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-Uncensored-i1-Q4_K_M on the RTX 3090
|
||
(dense/attention/KV) + LPDDR (experts/PLE) hybrid; its measured envelope and
|
||
decode root-cause chain are the record of why the fleet went back to halogen
|
||
- [[dankclaw-iommu-translation-off]] — why Dankclaw boots with
|
||
`amd_iommu=off` since 2026-09-11 (13-16 % prefill, measured upstream),
|
||
what it cost (the NPU endpoint), what was deliberately not copied from
|
||
the reference machine, and how to revert
|
||
- [[kingjones-strix-rocmfp4]] — PRIOR frank-large runbook and rollback
|
||
target: kingjones777/Qwen3.8-Flash-Next-ROCmFP4-STRIX-GGUF, 177B params
|
||
(56B MoE + 51.2B PLE), single 113.47 GiB GGUF, on the card's pinned
|
||
kingjones30/ROCmFPX fork (2026-08-30 → 2026-09-11)
|
||
- [[ubatch-benchmark-large]] — active-model llama-bench ubatch sweep plan and results
|
||
- [[frank-medium-batch-ubatch]] — batch/ubatch sweep on the 2x R9700 layer split
|
||
(2026-09-16): the ubatch optimum at 512, why the logical batch is free, and
|
||
the split rebalance that followed it
|
||
- [[kingjones-q8agent-rocmfpx]] — the retired Q8_0-AGENT investigation and `set_rows` failure
|
||
- [[eemin-rocmi4-mtp]] — the former caf-eemin Qwen3.8-27B embedded-MTP model
|
||
on Dankclaw (retired)
|
||
- [[dealign-ornith-crack]] — the retired Ornith-1.5-35B-A3B CRACK model on
|
||
Dankserver (frank-small, retired 2026-09-02)
|
||
- [[ikllama-ornith-dankserver]] — the retired ik_llama.cpp runtime for
|
||
frank-small (2026-08-26): q8_0 + Hadamard KV cache,
|
||
split-mode none (single-GPU), mandatory FA_ALL_QUANTS build flags
|
||
- [[kingjones-strix-mtp]] — the former Q6 AGENT runbook (restored 2026-09-01
|
||
after Q8_0 failure, then superseded by the STRIX deployment on 2026-08-27)
|
||
- [[ciru-activefpx-promptforge]] — the RETIRED v3 CIRU PromptForge runtime
|
||
on Dankclaw (superseded 2026-08-24 by the kingjones ROCmFP4 model)
|
||
- [[kairic-edge]] — the retired Kairic Edge IU4 experiment
|
||
(deployed and reverted 2026-08-22)
|
||
- [[Dankserver System Specs]] — the 2x R9700 box (frank-medium)
|
||
- [[Dankclaw System Specs]] — the Strix Halo gfx1151 box (frank-large on the
|
||
CIRU v4.4.1 runtime since 2026-09-19, frank-small on the RTX 3090)
|
||
- [[frank-npu]] — RETIRED 2026-09-11: the FLM NPU sight+sound endpoint
|
||
on Dankclaw (Gemma4 E4B vision+audio pack, XDNA2, port 7771), kept as
|
||
the retirement record — the IOMMU/SVA err=-19 root cause and where
|
||
every dependent route moved
