From 7b44a41da3605a8e4ed74ce4b2aacc7ff3f1158b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hermes Agent service account Date: Sun, 16 Aug 2026 20:40:31 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(llm): swap astro-orbiter primary model Qwen3.6 -> Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Ryan-directed model swap (kanban t_f5f7e9ad, 2026-08-16). Changes: - Replace [Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S] with [Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M] in llama-server-router-preset.ini.j2 (production model slot). - Qwen3.8-27B: dense 27B VLM, Apache-2.0, Alibaba Aug 2026. Unsloth Dynamic V3.0 GGUF quantization. Q4_K_M chosen: 17,106,775,008 bytes, 17.1GB. Measured VRAM: 17,068 MiB at ctx=32768 (q4_0 KV cache). - ctx-size set to 32768 (32K) via new variable llm_router_qwen38_ctx_size. Native context is 262K; 32K chosen to maintain eviction headroom on 24GB RTX 3090. - models-max reduced 4 -> 2 in host_vars. Qwen3.8 (17.6GB) + nomic-embed (558MB) exhaust the 24GB card; no auxiliary model can co-reside with Qwen3.8. LRU eviction handles model switching with ~30-60s cold-load latency. - llm_router_expected_model_id updated to Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M. - Qwen3.6 GGUF retained at /opt/models/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q4_K_S.gguf (not deleted — pending stable period and explicit cleanup task). - day2_swap_qwen38.yml playbook added for Ansible idempotent redeployment. Architecture note: Qwen3.8 uses Gated DeltaNet; llama.cpp 6ea215d logs 'fused Gated Delta Net (chunked) not supported, set to disabled'. Inference works correctly on the non-fused fallback. A llama.cpp update may improve throughput on the GDN layers. Smoke test passed: model responded via router endpoint (http://10.1.71.130:8002). VRAM: 17,630 MiB (Qwen3.8) + 5,928 MiB (Llama-8B concurrent) = 23,558 MiB.
