# Qwen3.8-27B (RedHatAI NVFP4 + MTP) — 1× DGX Spark / GB10 (sm_121), TP=1. # # NVFP4 compressed-tensors quant (22 GB) with a separate MTP draft in # `model_mtp.safetensors`. Dense 27B, GQA, hybrid DeltaNet+Attention. Text + # vision. The vLLM-only quant (lm_head FP8) — SGLang can't load it. # # Two nearly-identical NVFP4 builds are available: # RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 (this recipe) # unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 (qwen38-27b-nvfp4-unsloth recipe) # Speed/quality are close; benchmark both in the experiment. # # Image: ghcr.io/timothystewart6/vllm-gb10:v0.27.1-gb10.2 # vLLM 0.27.1, torch 2.13+cuda130, FlashInfer built from source, # instanttensor. Stock vLLM — supports the qwen3_5 arch + MTP. # # Model: RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 # https://huggingface.co/RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 # # PREREQUISITES: # Weights cached on every node (dgx1 ~/.cache/huggingface → NAS): # huggingface-cli download RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 # # REFERENCE: # https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/qwen3-8-27b-on-dual-sparks/380350 # https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/qwen3-8-27b-nvfp4-on-a-single-dgx-spark-up-to-1m-context-vllm-mtp-measurements/380244 # https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/qwen3-8-27b-mixedint4-autoround-optimized-for-a-single-dgx-spark/380248 engine = "vllm" name = "Qwen3.8-27B (NVFP4, RedHatAI)" docker_image = "ghcr.io/timothystewart6/vllm-gb10:v0.27.1-gb10.2" model = "RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4" required_nodes = 1 tensor_parallel_size = 1 pipeline_parallel_size = 1 distributed_backend = "mp" shm_size = "32gb" entrypoint = ["vllm", "serve"] args = [ # KV cache & memory "--kv-cache-dtype", "fp8", "--max-model-len", "262144", "--max-num-seqs", "6", "--max-num-batched-tokens", "8192", "--gpu-memory-utilization", "0.75", "--served-model-name", "qwen3.8-27b", # Engine backends (dense GQA — FlashInfer; NVFP4 route via compressed-tensors) "--attention-backend", "flashinfer", # Compilation / perf "--optimization-level", "3", "--performance-mode", "throughput", # Chunked prefill + prefix caching "--enable-chunked-prefill", "--enable-prefix-caching", "--enable-flashinfer-autotune", # MTP speculative decoding (in-checkpoint draft, model_mtp.safetensors) "--speculative-config", """ '{"method":"mtp","num_speculative_tokens":5}'""", # Tokenizer / reasoning (Qwen3 family) "--tool-call-parser", "qwen3_xml", "--reasoning-parser", "qwen3", "--enable-auto-tool-choice", "--generation-config", "auto", "--default-chat-template-kwargs.preserve_thinking=true", # Proven generation defaults (thinking mode; Qwen3.8 model-card best # practices) "--override-generation-config", """ '{"temperature":1.0,"top_p":0.95,"top_k":20,"min_p":0.0,"presence_penalty":0.0,"repetition_penalty":1.0}'""", "--trust-remote-code", ] [env] HF_HUB_OFFLINE = "1" TORCH_CUDA_ARCH_LIST = "12.1a" CUTE_DSL_ARCH = "sm_121a" OMP_NUM_THREADS = "4" PYTORCH_CUDA_ALLOC_CONF = "expandable_segments:True" CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES = "0" CUDA_DEVICE_ORDER = "PCI_BUS_ID" CUDA_CACHE_MAXSIZE = "4294967296"
