From 9c969f783d285d797bfe2fc70af35b445f59dbf3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Hermes Agent service account Date: Wed, 12 Aug 2026 22:26:49 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] feat(llm-inference-multimodel): bump router --models-max 1->4 on astro-orbiter (t_33acbb2e) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Changes: - host_vars/astro-orbiter/vars.yml: add llm_router_models_max: 4 (overrides conservative default of 1). Detailed VRAM OOM risk note included inline: worst-case 3-model co-residency ~31GB > 24GB RTX 3090. LRU eviction mitigates in single-user operation; flagged for Ryan's review. - playbooks/day2_bump_router_models_max.yml: new targeted playbook; deploys updated router unit, restarts the live service, verifies /health 200 and /v1/models lists all 3 GGUFs post-restart. - group_vars/all/semaphore.yml: add llm_router_update_unit template pointing at the new playbook. - roles/llm-inference-multimodel/defaults/main.yml: update comment to reflect the var is now overridden in host_vars rather than 'hardcoded to 1'. - roles/llm-inference-multimodel/templates/llama-server-router.service.j2: correct stale 'HARDCODED TO 1' comment — value is variable-driven. Constraints honored: - --parallel 1 left untouched (not in scope, not modified anywhere) - No ad-hoc SSH/systemctl/curl state mutation; all execution via Semaphore - No installed/vendored code patched --- ansible/group_vars/all/semaphore.yml | 14 ++ ansible/host_vars/astro-orbiter/vars.yml | 21 +++ .../playbooks/day2_bump_router_models_max.yml | 161 ++++++++++++++++++ .../defaults/main.yml | 5 +- .../templates/llama-server-router.service.j2 | 9 +- 5 files changed, 205 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ansible/playbooks/day2_bump_router_models_max.yml diff --git a/ansible/group_vars/all/semaphore.yml b/ansible/group_vars/all/semaphore.yml index 21bcd71..4bb58b7 100644 --- a/ansible/group_vars/all/semaphore.yml +++ b/ansible/group_vars/all/semaphore.yml @@ -177,3 +177,17 @@ semaphore_config: # llama-server-qwen on :8002, conflicting with the # production llama-server-router.service.
