Fix a live crash: cuBLAS cudaErrorInvalidValue in ggml_cuda_mul_mat_cublas killed the service during a 145k-token prefill burst at ncmoe35/ub3072. ncmoe 36 moves one more expert layer to CPU: frees ~0.75 GiB peak VRAM (grid: peak 8606 vs 9360 MiB at ub3072) for -2% prefill / -2% decode. Keeps prefill priority (top ubatch tier). Docs synced; noted fallback GGML_CUDA_FORCE_MMQ=1 if pressure persists.

### Active Services
|
|
|
|
The active `frank-default-small` service (llama.cpp, `b10108+`) serves the HauhauCS Qwen3.6-35B-A3B uncensored `Q6_K_P` model on port 7770 with **ngram-mod** speculative decoding. It runs **4 parallel slots** at 200000 context each (pool 800000). Of the 40 layers' MoE expert weights, **36 sit on CPU** (`--n-cpu-moe 36`) while the remaining **4 layers' expert weights** are resident on GPU along with all non-expert tensors (`--gpu-layers all`). KV stays on GPU with K=`q8_0`, V=`f16`. Batch 8192 / ubatch 3072, `--ctx-checkpoints 4`, `--no-mmap`. At idle ~21.05 GB VRAM used, leaving an estimated **~3.0 GiB** headroom (chosen for prefill stability, see [[frank-default-small-benchmark]]). Idle RAM ~32 GB of 62 GB.

## Hardware Relevance
|
|
|
|
- 24 GB VRAM is close to saturated with this config. At idle ~21.05 GB used, leaving an estimated **~3.0 GiB** headroom at `--n-cpu-moe 36` (4 layers' experts on GPU) with `ubatch 3072`. A llama-bench sweep ([[frank-default-small-benchmark]]) guided this state: prefill is the priority, so `ubatch 3072` stays (top prefill tier), and `ncmoe 36` was raised from 35 to fix a cuBLAS OOM-class crash during big prefills by freeing ~0.75 GiB peak VRAM at only -2% prefill. If it still crashes under load, add `GGML_CUDA_FORCE_MMQ=1`. If decode speed matters more, use `ncmoe 32 - ubatch 1024` (gen ~48.7 t/s). By editing `scripts/frank-default-small.env`.
|
|
- 62 GB system RAM holds the ~29 GB of MoE expert weights with room to spare (~57 GB available after load).
|
|
- 127 GB swap is available for CPU KV cache paging if GPU KV offload is disabled.
|
|
- Root disk has approximately 140 GB free. Store the GGUF models under `/home/dank/models` (about 32 GB total).
