The RTX 3090 left Dankserver; two AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 cards (Navi 48, gfx1201, 32,624 MiB each) replaced it. FreeToken/CUDA cannot run there at all, so the `frank-small` service is retired and `frank-medium` takes the endpoint. New service: charlie12345/ROCmFPX llama.cpp (built for gfx1201 against the fork's self-contained ROCm 7.14 toolchain, so the host's stale /opt/rocm-6.3.3 never participates) serving kingjones777/Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT-GGUF -- a Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT (ftype 115) checkpoint that stock llama.cpp cannot load. Placeholder config: --split-mode tensor across both cards, 131072 context, 1 slot, f16 KV, MTP draft head on ROCm0. deploy-remote.sh grows retire_root_llm_small(): the CUDA-era unit is stopped, disabled and moved to ~/.AGENTTRASH/20260915-frank-small-retire/host-units before frank-medium starts, because `systemctl disable` has been observed to delete the unit file itself on this host (2026-08-26 incident). The retired frank-small repo files (env, unit, serve script) move to scripts/.AGENTTRASH/, and the planner, dispatcher, service allow-list and the deployment test seams now name frank-medium. Follow-up (same session, measured): llama-bench on the host with the correct multi-device syntax (-dev ROCm0/ROCm1) overturned the tensor choice: single R9700 pp4096 1160.9 / tg128 19.42 (d32768: 512 / 18.4) layer 2x pp4096 1991.2 / tg128 18.76 (d32768: 859 / 17.6) tensor 2x pp4096 271.8 / tg128 26.26 (d32768: 229 / 25.1) This build has no RCCL, so tensor mode falls back to a "meta-backend butterfly" allreduce and prefill collapses 7x. Served path with MTP: layer 35.7-46.2 tok/s vs tensor 28.7. SPLIT_MODE=layer, draft pinned to ROCm1 (the card holding the last target layers). Served prefix cache with the draft head verified live: turn 2 reprocessed 22 tokens instead of 949.

# Tunables for frank-medium (kingjones777/Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT-GGUF,

|
# charlie12345/ROCmFPX llama.cpp, Dankserver, 2x AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700).
|
|
#
|
|
# Hardware (2026-09-15): the RTX 3090 left Dankserver and two Radeon AI PRO
|
|
# R9700 cards (Navi 48, gfx1201, RDNA4, 32,624 MiB each, PCIe 5.0 x16) took
|
|
# its place. The Raphael iGPU (gfx1036) is still enumerated by HIP as the
|
|
# third device. There is no XGMI link between the two cards and they sit in
|
|
# different IOMMU groups, so any cross-GPU traffic goes over PCIe.
|
|
#
|
|
# Runtime: charlie12345/ROCmFPX (llama.cpp fork, ROCmFPX quant family; the
|
|
# Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT tensor type exists nowhere else - stock llama.cpp cannot
|
|
# load this GGUF). Built for gfx1201 with the fork's self-contained ROCm
|
|
# 7.14 toolchain so the host's stale /opt/rocm-6.3.3 install is never used:
|
|
#
|
|
# cd /home/dank/GitPackages/charlie-ROCmFPX
|
|
# env JOBS=8 ./scripts/build-rocmfp4-rocm714-local.sh
|
|
#
|
|
# gfx1201 must be the build target: a gfx1200 binary links, loads the model
|
|
# and then segfaults on this card (fork's docs/BUILD-AMD-ARCHITECTURES.md).
|
|
#
|
|
# Model: kingjones Qwen3.8-27B-ROCmFPX-Q8_0-AGENT - Q8_0_ROCMFPX_AGENT
|
|
# (ftype 115), 26.28 GiB, 8.39 bpw, arch qwen35 (MoE), quantized from a
|
|
# 51.3 GiB BF16 source. The AGENT routing keeps 12 more attention-output
|
|
# projections at full Q8_0 than the plain 8-bit build, which buys a higher
|
|
# MTP draft acceptance (0.953 vs 0.911) and that is the whole point of this
|
|
# checkpoint. Model card documents 131,072 context.
|
|
#
|
|
# Parallelism (--split-mode layer, operator call 2026-09-15 "pipeline
|
|
# parallelism"): layers are distributed across the two cards in order and
|
|
# activations hop PCIe at the boundary. Measured with llama-bench
|
|
# (pp4096 / tg128 / same at depth 32768, f16 KV, fa on, 3 reps):
|
|
#
|
|
# single R9700 1160.9 / 19.42 (fits: 26.27 GiB weights, ~5 GiB left)
|
|
# layer 2x 1991.2 / 18.76 859.1 / 17.64
|
|
# tensor 2x 271.8 / 26.26 228.6 / 25.09
|
|
#
|
|
# Tensor parallel wins decode (+40 %) but collapses prefill 7x: this build
|
|
# has no RCCL (llama.cpp logs "AllReduce init failed; falling back to
|
|
# meta-backend butterfly"), so every layer pays a slow cross-card reduction.
|
|
# Agentic traffic is prefill-heavy, so layer split wins the workload. Revisit
|
|
# if the fork ships a working RCCL tensor path.
