# DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (552B MoE, MXFP4 experts, Engram-on-disk, DCP2) — 4x
# DGX Spark.
#
# DCP2 variant of dsv41-flash-4x-b12x (the 167/176 lane): same config plus
# decode context parallelism (4 TP ranks = 2 DCP groups of 2) with Aiden's
# a2a all-to-all combine — the production-1.1 overlay ported onto our tree
# (docker-images/dsv41-flash-dcp2/, 23-file superset; provenance + triage in
# top-level dcp2/README.md).
#
# A/B target: DSV4.1 quality/speed at DCP2's KV capacity. On Aiden's own
# stack DCP2 gave 2.5M-token KV @300K but 158/176 (−9) and slower single-
# stream; this variant measures the same trade on our stack.
#
# Image: dsv41-flash-dcp2:local (docker-images/dsv41-flash-dcp2/ — thin
# FROM over dsv41-flash-b12x:local, 23-file DCP2 overlay COPY, verified
# symbol-complete at build time).
#
# Model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (476 GB on the NFS HF cache,
# refs/main). The two 203 GB FP8 Engram n-gram tables are NEVER loaded into
# HBM — the baked engram.py patch keeps them on disk (DSV41_ENGRAM_DISK=1)
# and reads rows on demand. Node-local sparse copies of each rank's rows
# (48 GB, engram-local.json) accelerate decode once created (DSV41_ENGRAM_DIR
# below, added after the copies exist — first boot reads straight from NFS).
#
# Config mirrors their boot-10 serving setup (launch/dsv41-tp4.sh) with
# local deviations:
#   CUDA graphs FULL_AND_PIECEWISE + exact DSpark capture sizes (no padded
#   rows — padded speculative batches hang SM120 sparse MLA, FlashInfer
#   #5015), DSpark k=5 with the checkpoint's own draft layers, tools +
#   vision on.
#   * GMU 0.85 (their 0.80): the indexer prefill buffer grows with max
#     context (~5.2 GiB at 1M, ~2.6 GiB at 512K); the extra budget keeps
#     the KV pool at ~11 GiB (≈1.6M tokens) with host headroom.
#   * 512K ctx (2026-09-11, operator): matches the GLM prod convention
#     (524288) and stays inside the row width their top-k fix was
#     validated for (300K measured, 1M-wide never re-run even by them).
#     The 1.6M-token pool gives 3× headroom at 512K.
#   * thinking ON + reasoning_effort=max by default (request can override
#     via chat_template_kwargs), served as "deepseek-v4-flash" (gateway
#     alias, no config churn).
#

# backend, explicit KV budget, DCP2 port) —
# https://aidenle.com/recipes/deepseek-v4-1-flash-4x-dgx-spark/
# (page says production-1.1 in places; the DCP2-baked image is
# production-1.2 — the page was not updated to the end).
