# kindlingai/glm-5.3-flash-gx10 — integration mode B (operator 2026-10-01: # "image + patches first, their full stack later"). Their IMAGE (15 anchored # patches + FlashKDA rebuild, baked experimental/ overlay stack via # docker-images/glm53-kindling/build.sh) launched with sm121's mp rendezvous. # Every arg/env below is a 1:1 transcription of upstream `image/entrypoint.sh` # (`exec vllm serve …` and its `case "$TP"` block) plus the # `experimental/compose/*.yaml` env blocks (arx, snapshot, adaptive-k, fp8, # megamoe, fixes, sp, recoverssm, tp3-pads) — the stack the upstream README # headline numbers were measured with. Deviation ledger: # docker-images/glm53-kindling/README.md. # # NOT used (mode A territory): their entrypoint (mentatd roles/election, # preflight, fabric-check, status server, self-test, GID derivation) — sm121 # owns orchestration, NCCL env comes from the cluster [nccl] block (auto GID # detect included). Weights: NAS HF cache (upstream demands local disks per # box — operator call, documented). KV pin: upstream per-TP value on GB10 UMA # (profiled-unpinned pools starve FlashInfer autotune at boot — upstream). # Build: `sm121 build` in docker-images/glm53-kindling (tag spark-glm53:v9). # Bench: seed 42 hardmode + perf c1,c2 + depth suite, as everywhere. engine = "vllm" name = "GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 (kindlingai gx10 stack, 4x, DFlash2, karmic-kraken)" docker_image = "spark-glm53-karmic:local" # shared image build dir (all three TP variants build the same image) docker_image_dir = "karmic-kraken" entrypoint = ["vllm", "serve"] # Floating model: the engine resolves the org/model id via the NAS HF cache # (refs/main → latest snapshot), so a model re-upload is picked up without # touching the recipe.
