- host_vars/astro-orbiter/vars.yml: add Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf
to llm_staged_models (size_bytes=8988111072, bartowski GGUF public repo).
Updated VRAM note to reflect 4-model roster and LRU eviction semantics.
- defaults/main.yml: add llm_router_coder_ctx_size=16384 and
llm_router_coder_flash_attn=true variables for per-model ctx tuning.
- templates/llama-server-router-preset.ini.j2: add [Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct-Q4_K_M]
section with alias=Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct-4bit, ctx-size=16384, flash-attn=true.
- playbooks/day2_add_coder_alias.yml: new playbook that downloads the GGUF (if
absent/mismatched), deploys updated preset INI and systemd unit, restarts
llama-server-router, and verifies all 4 models in /v1/models.
VRAM: Coder ~9GB. Full 4-model co-residency impossible on 24GB — LRU eviction
handles this automatically. Qwen3.6-35B <-> Coder switches incur ~30-60s cold load.
- Add Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-4bit alias on Meta-Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct-Q4_K_M
entry in the preset INI (per Ryan dashboard note).
- Document known issue: Phi-3.5-mini json_schema grammar sampler incompatibility
in router mode (GH #23460 variant — chat template token format mismatch).
Meta-Llama works with json_schema response_format; confirmed via live test.
- Phi-3.5-mini-instruct-8bit alias remains working for model routing;
structured output (json_schema) fails due to the model's token format.
