LLM Fleet — Knowledge Base

Documentation for the LLM inference fleet on two local machines (2026-08-22): upstream llama.cpp on Dankserver (frank-default-small) and CIRU ROCmFPX llama.cpp with the PromptForge v3 runtime on Dankclaw (frank-default-large).

2026-08-22: the former vllmScripts repository is merged into the serverAppConfigs repository. This knowledge base moved from the old repo's docs/ root to docs/LLM/. The fleet scripts and units now live in the repo's scripts/ directory.
