The FP8 max-accuracy tier had bench (83.1/108.2) + quality (107/150) on the
2x3090 reference rig but no soak-continuous run — the one missing gate item.
Ran the full operational gate fresh on the v0.24.0 pin:
- verify-full 9/9
- verify-stress: all 6 rungs, fillable to 240,636 tok clean (91%)
- soak-continuous PASS: 0 err / 0 growth / 100% retention, p50 decode 85
That clears the production bar.
- registry + compose header: status experimental -> production (drift guard
green). status_note also de-staled: dropped the '~56 TPS' probe / 'slowest of
the three' framing (corrected to decode 83/108, the slow axis is PREFILL/TTFT
from MarlinFP8 W8A16 on Ampere, not decode) + the full-gate results.
- baselines.yml: row comment notes the soak PASS completing the gate.
- No DEFAULTS[(qwen,vllm,dual)] change -> vllm/dual (fast) stays the dual
default; dual-max just joins the actionable list as the max-fidelity tier.
Bonus for the 5090 crowd: dual-max is now a non-experimental config, so the
launch command drops --force (bash scripts/switch.sh vllm/qwen-27b-dual-max).
