# GLM-5.3 (full, NATIVE zai-org FP8) + DSpark K8 speculator — 8x @64K. # # The operator's "whole model" lane (2026-09-18 night): NOT the RedHatAI # MXFP4 quant — the original `zai-org/GLM-5.3` checkpoint (753.3 GB, FP8 # e4m3 block-128, 141 shards, already on the NAS: blobs 704 GB, refs/main # aca966e4). Same glm_moe_dsa architecture as the GLM-5.2 lane (the # operator's read: the architecture did not change between 5.2 and 5.3), # so the Aiden GLM image family carries it. # # Image: aidendle94/sparkrun-vllm-glm53-gb10:production-1.2 (31.2 GB, # Aiden's GLM-5.2/5.3 production stack — the "aiden 5.2" image). Verified # in-image (2026-09-18): vLLM dev20051+g487ecf187 has both the # DSparkDraftModel speculators loader (config/speculative.py + # models/registry.py) and the glm_moe_dsa path # (models/deepseek_v32/nvidia/model.py). Their DFlash2 drafter runs on # this image WITHOUT the r37 workarounds (no skip-layers flag, no draft # page patch) -> the shared-cache-contamination bug is absent from this # tree, so the 4x-dspark8 r37 workarounds are NOT ported. # # Loader (operator call): the standard safetensors loader # (`--load-format auto`), NOT InstantTensor. InstantTensor streams the # WHOLE checkpoint per rank (~750 GB/rank over the 10G NFS mgmt NIC, # ~90-100 min); the standard loader reads each rank's TP slices # (page-cache shared) and the dspark38 Aiden precedent already runs on # `auto`. # # Memory math (121.63 GiB/node): weights 753.3/8 = 94.2 GB/node; # GMU 0.85 -> 111.0 GB budget; 111.0 - 94.2 - ~10 (process) = ~6.8 GB KV. # 64K request = 3.45 GB/rank (52.7 KB/token) -> ~1.9x; 96K = 5.1 GB -> # ~1.3x; 512K (26.3 GB) DOES NOT FIT — physical limit, hence # max-model-len 65536 (the lab r34 doc's qualified Model limit; their # GMU 0.97/0.98 numbers are RTX 6000 (96 GB, smaller baseline reservation) # and do not pass the GB10 admission check — measured free 108.78 GiB). # # Speculator: RedHatAI/GLM-5.3-speculator.dspark (2.3 GB, NAS snapshot # 198b3ced) at K8, `method: dspark` — the same drafter as the 4x dspark8 # lane (that one on the r37 image; here on Aiden's tree, DSpark support # verified in-image). # # Contract mirrors the proven Aiden precedents on this image family: # glm53-flash-aiden-2x (same image, DFlash2: kv fp8_e4m3, moe-backend # marlin, block 2304, no --attention-backend — the image routes B12X # natively) + deepseek-v4-flash-dspark38 (DSpark + CUDA graphs without # enforce-eager, --load-format auto, block 256) + the r34 doc's scheduler # bounds (seqs 8, batched tokens 2048). engine = "vllm" name = "GLM-5.3 (full native FP8) + DSpark K8 (aiden prod-1.2 img, zai-org ckpt, 8x @64K)" docker_image = "aidendle94/sparkrun-vllm-glm53-gb10:production-1.2" entrypoint = [] model = "zai-org/GLM-5.3" parent_model = "zai-org/GLM-5.3" required_nodes = 8 tensor_parallel_size = 8 pipeline_parallel_size = 1 distributed_backend = "mp" shm_size = "32gb" args = [ # Stable served name — quant-agnostic (shared across glm53 lanes) "--served-model-name", "glm53", "--trust-remote-code", "--reasoning-parser", "glm45", "--tool-call-parser", "glm47", "--enable-auto-tool-choice", "--default-chat-template-kwargs", """ '{"enable_thinking": true, "reasoning_effort": "high"}'""", # Aiden-image-proven spellings (glm53-flash-aiden-2x baseline): "--kv-cache-dtype", "fp8_e4m3", "--moe-backend", "marlin", # the plain safetensors loader (operator call 2026-09-18): InstantTensor # streams the WHOLE checkpoint per rank (~704 GB/rank at 130 MB/s = ~90 # min, and it hung in the first Aiden boot); `auto` on this image = # InstantTensor (verified in the boot log), so the format is spelled # explicitly.
