noonghunnaandClaude Opus 4.7 ecc2d747ae docs(sglang): refresh per-engine + comparison pages — DFlash + MTP native upstream as of May 2026
The historical "currently blocked" framing is partially out-of-date. SGLang
upstream has moved since we last tested:

- DFlash spec-decode: native, recent (z-lab confirmed --speculative-algorithm
  DFLASH; Qwen3.6-27B draft published at z-lab/Qwen3.6-27B-DFlash)
- MTP: native, first-class for Qwen3-Next family per LMSYS Jul 2025 blog
- TurboQuant: WIP only (Issue #21618, not merged)
- Marlin pad-sub-tile-n fix (the binding INT4 + TP=2 boot blocker): status
  unknown — needs re-test on current SGLang main

Updated:
- models/qwen3.6-27b/sglang/README.md — full rewrite. New TL;DR table with
  per-feature status + a 4-step re-test plan: (1) smoke-boot AutoRound INT4
  + TP=2 with fp8/q4 KV (NOT TurboQuant — WIP), (2) verify-stress 7/7 if
  boots, (3) add DFlash spec-decode (preferred over MTP — higher accept
  rate + z-lab actively maintains SGLang integration), (4) ship as
  docker-compose.dual.yml if competitive vs vllm dual-dflash.yml. Watch list
  now anchored to specific upstream issues.

- docs/engines/README.md — comparison table row + cons section + "How to
  choose" entry refreshed to reflect "re-test pending" not "blocked."
  Specific re-test steps inlined; full plan cross-referenced to the
  per-engine page.

Status of physical work: re-test queued as task #227, not yet executed.
The decision tree in the README will let any contributor with current
SGLang main attempt the boot. If a cross-rig contributor reports a clean
boot, that's the green light to bench properly.

noonghunnaandClaude Opus 4.7 e9c658cbc6 fix(docs): replace dead luce-spec/llama-cpp-dflash links with Luce-Org/lucebox-hub
Reported in #39 by @clort81 — the `luce-spec/llama-cpp-dflash` repo
returns 404. The DFlash work consolidated into Luce-Org/lucebox-hub
(verified: github.com/Luce-Org/lucebox-hub returns 200, contains
dflash/ + pflash/ subdirs and dflash/deps/llama.cpp submodule).

Affected files:
- docs/engines/README.md (2 link sites in comparison table)
- docs/engines/LLAMA_CPP.md (4 sites: intro, "Pros" table, build clone
  command, "See also" links)
- models/qwen3.6-27b/llama-cpp/README.md (2 link sites)

Plus collateral updates:
- Build clone path /opt/llama-cpp-dflash → /opt/lucebox-hub (matches
  the new repo name; was a 3-replace via path globbing)
- HF model path luce-spec/dflash-qwen3.6-27b-N5 (401 gated) →
  z-lab/Qwen3.6-27B-DFlash (200 public, the actually-shipping draft)
  + local-dir adjusted to /mnt/models/huggingface/z-lab/... matching
  the canonical HF model path convention
- `git clone --recurse-submodules` flag added since lucebox-hub uses
  submodules for its bundled llama.cpp fork (in dflash/deps/llama.cpp)

Updates URL framing in user-facing prose to acknowledge that
lucebox-hub is a separate harness containing a llama.cpp fork rather
than just being a llama.cpp fork. The recipe section build commands
should be re-verified against the lucebox-hub README before treating
them as canonical — this commit only updates the URL/path; the multi-
step build instructions in docs/engines/LLAMA_CPP.md may need a
follow-up walkthrough.

CHANGELOG references to luce-spec preserved as historical context (the
links were valid at the time the CHANGELOG entries were written).

noonghunnaandClaude Opus 4.7 5aa97a25d9 v0.20 migration + Genesis v7.65 dev tip + cold-start cache + env-var alignment
This branch migrates the entire vLLM stack from `dev205+g07351e088` + Genesis
v7.64 to `0.20.1rc1.dev16+g7a1eb8ac2` + Genesis v7.65 dev tip (commit
`d89a089`). v7.65 is on Sandermage's `dev` branch — explicitly the cross-rig
testing surface he requested in discussion #19; he'll merge dev→main once we
both confirm stable. Pin gates restated when that lands.

What changes
------------

Pin migration:
- vLLM image: nightly-07351e08... → nightly-7a1eb8ac2... (dev205 → v0.20.1rc1.dev16)
- Genesis: 64dd18b (v7.64) → d89a089 (v7.65 dev tip)

Sidecar churn:
- DROPPED: patch_pn12_ffn_pool_anchor.py (PN12 native on v0.20)
- DROPPED: patch_pn12_compile_safe_custom_op.py (Genesis P38B in-source hook)
- DROPPED: patch_fa_max_seqlen_clamp.py (Genesis PN17 + P15B)
- ADDED: patch_workspace_lock_disable.py (relaxes vllm#39226 strict assertion;
  P98 covers same surface but auto-skips on v0.20 due to drift-marker false
  positive — pending Sandermage marker fix)

Env-var alignment to Sandermage's PROD set (start_27b_int4_TQ_k8v4.sh@dev):
- FIXED naming bugs that silently no-op'd patches:
  - PN9_INDEPENDENT_DRAFTER_ATT → _ATTN (was silently OFF)
  - PN22 → PN22_LOCAL_ARGMAX_TP (was silently OFF)
  - PN26_BLOCK_KV → PN26_SPARSE_V_BLOCK_KV (fell back to default 4, not 8)
  - PN26_NUM_WARPS → PN26_SPARSE_V_NUM_WARPS
  - PN26_THRESHOLD → PN26_SPARSE_V_THRESHOLD (fell back to default 0.001, not 0.01)
- ADDED explicit-OFFs to match Sander's PROD verbatim:
  - P78_TOLIST_CAPTURE_GUARD=0 (we use our own patch_tolist_cudagraph.py)
  - P81_FP8_BLOCK_SCALED_M_LE_8=0 (FP8-specific, no-op on TQ3)
  - P82=0, P82_THRESHOLD_SINGLE=0.3
- Cap divergence (justified): PROFILE_RUN_CAP_M=4128 + PREALLOC_TOKEN_BUDGET=4128
  (Sander uses 4096 — vLLM `interface.py:639` forces our config's Mamba
  block_size to 4128 due to TQ3 + TP=1 page-size math; lower values
  AssertionError at boot)
- Carry-forward (intentional): P4 (hybrid TQ required), P65 (TQ spec-CG
  downgrade — pending v0.20 verification that #40880 closure makes it
  redundant)

Cold-start cache mounts (closes #22):
- All 10 composes now mount torch_compile_cache + Triton cache from
  `models/qwen3.6-27b/vllm/cache/`. First boot warms (~6 min); warm boot
  drops to ~3.2 min (47% faster). Per-stage savings on long-text:
  - Dynamo bytecode transform: 18s → 5s (-73%)
  - torch.compile: 57s → 9s (-85%)
  - Initial profiling/warmup: 51s → 7s (-87%)

Mamba block_size cap fix:
- v0.20 enforces `long_prefill_token_threshold >= block_size`; on hybrid
  Mamba+TQ3, vLLM forces block_size=4128. Bumped GENESIS_PROFILE_RUN_CAP_M
  and PREALLOC_TOKEN_BUDGET 4096→4128 across all 5 main composes.

Default 48K compose:
- Required workspace_lock_disable sidecar after initial v0.20 boot hit
  vllm#39226 strict assertion. Caught during validation, fixed.

Context restored vs dev205 backoffs (validated 33K + 50K stress on v0.20):
- long-text:        185K → 214K (+16%)
- long-vision:      140K → 198K (+41%)
- bounded-thinking: 185K → 214K (+16%)

Bench results (n=5, results/v0.20-migration/):
- long-text 214K        narr 49.74 / code 67.39 (CV 2.6/2.7%)
- long-vision 198K      narr 50.32 / code 66.12 (CV 2.3/4.1%)
- bounded-thinking 214K narr 49.77 / code 65.80 (CV 1.4/2.3%)
- tools-text 75K (fp8)  narr 53.32 / code 69.66 (CV 2.3/1.4%)
- dual-turbo 262K (TP=2) narr 58.33 / code 76.01 per-stream
                         269 TPS aggregate at n=4 streams (3.63x speedup)
- default 48K           narr 48.82 / code 65.98 (n=3)

Validation: verify-full 8/8 on every variant. verify-stress 33K AND 50K
tool-prefill PASS on every variant — the cliff that fired on EVERY dev205
config no longer reproduces.

Docs + charts:
- README + SINGLE_CARD + DUAL_CARD + CLIFFS + EXAMPLES + STRUCTURED_COT
  + FAQ + UPSTREAM + 3 engine docs + model README + INTERNALS + CHANGELOG
  all updated with new pin, ctx, TPS numbers, and "v0.20 unblock" section
- performance.{png,svg} + variants regenerated with measured TPS
- vram-budget.{png,svg} + variants regenerated with measured VRAM
- UPSTREAM tracker: 5 issues moved ✅ closed (PR #12, #13, #14, #15, P104
  superseded by PN17 + P15B)

Issues addressed:
- #16 (Cliff 1 mech B leaks past PN12 on inductor-compiled FFN) — partial:
  v0.20's revised TQ FA paths close the synthetic stress; PN25 (Sander's
  proper compile-path opaque-op fix) is on dev but explicitly opt-in pending
  worker-fork registration fix. Workarounds documented (tools-text fp8 path
  / --enforce-eager) until Sander ships PN25 default-on.
- #20 (launch.sh port + container-name mismatch) — already closed by
  77ca576 (post-issue-filing).
- #22 (cold-start caching) — closed by cache mounts above.

Remaining caveats:
- Cliff 2 (DeltaNet GDN forward, single prompt ≥50-60K) unchanged —
  architectural, applies to all single-card vLLM TQ3 paths. Mitigation:
  dual-turbo TP=2 (state splits across cards) or llama.cpp 262K.
- Default 48K narr_TPS (48.82) slightly under chart's 55 reference —
  bench variance + sample size n=3; not regression.
- Dual.yml / dual-dflash* not re-benched on v0.20; numbers carry forward
  from dev205 (fp8 paths were not TPS-changed by the migration).

noonghunnaandClaude Opus 4.7 427d2f8aa9 docs+scripts+charts: propagate new ceilings (long-vision 198K, long-text 218K)
Sweep across all user-facing docs reflecting the post-PN12-anchor-fix
ceilings established in 287de1c → f3e5b52:

Docs touched:
- models/qwen3.6-27b/README.md — VRAM allocation paragraph + What's not
  working list + Genesis patches table (PN12/PN13/P101/P103 added)
- models/qwen3.6-27b/INTERNALS.md — forward-looking note pointing at
  CLIFFS.md for current state
- models/qwen3.6-27b/CHANGELOG.md — new 2026-04-30 PM entry
- docs/SINGLE_CARD.md — TL;DR table, VRAM budget bullet, frontier-context
  section, cliff status footer
- docs/FAQ.md — vLLM-vs-llama.cpp framing, ctx-drop question, Cliff 1/2
  explanations, troubleshooting list
- docs/engines/README.md — engine comparison table
- docs/engines/VLLM.md — feature bullets, TQ3 table, ctx tier description
- docs/engines/LLAMA_CPP.md — "why no cliffs" framing, single-card switch
  decision

Charts regenerated:
- tools/charts/gen-perf.py — labels updated (long-vision 198K, long-text 218K)
- tools/charts/gen-vram.py — added 218K text-only row, relabeled 198K row
  with mem-util note. SVG/PNG outputs regenerated via Docker matplotlib.

Scripts:
- scripts/launch.sh — wizard option labels
- scripts/switch.sh — header documentation

Cliff 1 status across all variants: closed.
Cliff 2 status: still applies single-prompt >50–60K on single-card.

noonghunnaandClaude Opus 4.7 26ac8118de Restructure docs around hardware axis: SINGLE_CARD.md + DUAL_CARD.md
User feedback: navigating to relevant docs was cumbersome. The natural
first decision is "1 GPU or 2 GPUs?" and the existing docs mixed model-
specific reference with deployment guidance.

New navigation:
- README.md adds a "Pick your path" pivot pointing at hardware-axis pages
- docs/SINGLE_CARD.md — 1× 3090 deployment menu (workload → compose →
  TPS) with all single-card configs (vLLM + llama.cpp), VRAM budget,
  prefill cliffs explained operationally, what single-card can't do
- docs/DUAL_CARD.md — 2× 3090 mirror (4 dual variants + TP=2 explainer +
  what dual unlocks vs single + Marlin pad fork dependency)

Slimming:
- models/qwen3.6-27b/README.md: dropped duplicated variant tables
  (now in GPU-count pages); kept model-specific content (quants, Genesis
  patch surface table, what's working / not, VRAM diagram)
- models/qwen3.6-27b/USE_CASES.md: deleted. Per-workload content
  absorbed into the GPU-count pages (deduplicated). Troubleshooting
  list moved to docs/FAQ.md as a new "Troubleshooting" subsection.
  Image-token cost / vision specifics absorbed into SINGLE_CARD.md.

Reference updates: 8 files updated (engines/VLLM.md, engines/README.md,
COMPARISONS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md, EXAMPLES.md, FAQ.md, INTERNALS.md,
top-level README) — all USE_CASES.md links re-pointed to SINGLE_CARD/
DUAL_CARD where appropriate.

Net delta: -167 lines (was 197 in USE_CASES + duplicated tables in
model README; now 342 lines split between SINGLE_CARD + DUAL_CARD with
content deduplicated against each other).

noonghunna 3fa33332ce Initial commit — club-3090: model-agnostic LLM serving recipes for RTX 3090
Consolidates and supersedes:
  - noonghunna/qwen36-27b-single-3090
  - noonghunna/qwen36-dual-3090

The two predecessor repos partitioned by card count (1× vs 2×). This
repo partitions by engine instead, which matches how users actually
decide ("vLLM or llama.cpp?" before "1 card or 2"). Card count becomes
a config variant within each engine.

Structure (model-agnostic from day 1):

  docs/                       cross-model engine + hardware docs
    engines/                    vLLM / llama.cpp / SGLang comparison + per-engine deep dives
    HARDWARE.md                 Ampere SM 8.6+, NVLink, power, VRAM ceilings
    GLOSSARY.md                 plain-language definitions
    img/                        illustrations (vram-budget.svg)
    ARCHITECTURE.md             how this stack thinks about LLM serving on 24 GB

  models/<model-name>/        everything specific to a model
    qwen3.6-27b/                today's only model
      README.md / INTERNALS.md / USE_CASES.md / CHANGELOG.md
      vllm/                     vLLM-specific configs for this model
        compose/                  docker-compose files (single + dual variants)
        patches/                  tolist_cudagraph + Marlin pad notes
      llama-cpp/                llama.cpp recipes for this model
        recipes/                  shell scripts (single-card default + 262K max-ctx)
      sglang/                   SGLang status (currently blocked)

  scripts/                    shared, model-aware
    setup.sh                    bash setup.sh <model> → downloads + verifies
    verify.sh / verify-full.sh  smoke + functional tests
    bench.sh                    canonical TPS bench

vLLM compose variants (all under models/qwen3.6-27b/vllm/compose/):

  Single-card:
    docker-compose.yml             ⭐ DEFAULT — TQ3 + Genesis P65, 48K, 51/68 TPS
    docker-compose.fast-chat.yml   fp8 + 20K, 55/70 TPS — fastest at small ctx
    docker-compose.tools-text.yml  fp8 + 75K, 53/70 TPS — best for long single prompts
    docker-compose.no-genesis-mtp.yml control variant
    docker-compose.minimal.yml     no spec-decode

  Dual-card:
    docker-compose.dual.yml             ⭐ fp8 + 262K + MTP + vision, 71/89 TPS
    docker-compose.dual-turbo.yml       TQ3 + Genesis v7.14 — 4-stream concurrency
    docker-compose.dual-dflash.yml      DFlash N=5 + 185K + vision — 78/128 TPS
    docker-compose.dual-dflash-noviz.yml DFlash + 200K text-only

llama.cpp recipes (under models/qwen3.6-27b/llama-cpp/recipes/):

  single-card-default.sh    Q4_K_M + 65K
  single-card-max-ctx.sh    Q4_K_M + q4_0 KV at full 262K — the standout recipe

Old repos remain readable for issue history + external links (Medium,
Reddit, Twitter, Sandermage's PR threads). New issues should be filed
here.
