# GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 — eugr B12X 4-node test variant (vLLM) — 4× DGX Spark, TP=4.
#
# Night-shift A/B cell of `glm53-flash-nvfp4-eugr` (the 2x recipe is the
# PRODUCTION default — keep it until 4x delivers a dramatic improvement).
# Same image/model/spec/flags as the 2x lane; only the cluster shape differs
# (4 nodes, TP4, 16 seqs / 8192 batched / 16 GiB KV pin — eugr's stock 4x
# shape, confirmed public at forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/381350/364:
# ~60 tok/s c1, ~73 c4 decode on this exact config). Requires the 4nodes
# cluster to be free (the day's aiden 4x serve stopped first).
#
# Port of eugr's dual-Spark recipe (eugr/spark-vllm-docker @ 94b3c30,
# 2026-09-04, recipes/glm-5.3-flash.yaml) onto our launcher, on their
# prebuilt image. A/B cell against our r18 fork build: same lab branch line
# (dev/jovian-judgement) — their image = 09-04 tip + lukealonso/b12x master
# + their patch set; our r18 pin = 09-05 tip + lab b12x + eugr-derived
# patches. Compare quality (hardmode) + decode + TTFT before trusting either.
#
# Image: eugr/spark-vllm-b12x:nightly-20260904 (digest c3b44d3f…, = :latest).
#   Built from local-inference-lab/vllm dev/jovian-judgement (their e91bc76,
#   2026-09-03, switched the ref from dev/infernal-invocation) +
#   lukealonso/b12x @ master; torch 2.13.0, CUDA 13.0.2,
#   nvidia-cutlass-dsl 4.7.0; their docker/patch_vllm_*.py set +
#   instanttensor + fastsafetensors; system-NCCL symlink fix. Exact b12x
#   commit baked in-image: /workspace/b12x-source-commit (+ build-metadata.yaml).
#   NOTE: the image ships NO ENTRYPOINT — this recipe must carry
#   entrypoint = ["vllm","serve"] (unlike the sparkrun/aiden images).
#
# Model: local-inference-lab/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4-Spark (their recipe's model —
#   NOT the GLM-5.3-NVFP4-Spark repo the aiden lane uses). ~180 GB class:
#   huggingface-cli download on BOTH nodes before the first serve
#   (HF_HUB_OFFLINE=1 below).
#
# What this lane tests (vs our r17/r18 findings):
#   - FULL b12x cluster: --attention-backend B12X + --moe-backend b12x +
#     --linear-backend b12x. On our r17 image, --linear-backend b12x was THE
#     quality TOXIN (44/100 hardmode). Their 09-04 b12x predates the SM121
#     A16-precision commits, so the answer is open — measure, don't trust.
#   - RoCEnante one-shot RoCE collectives: VLLM_ENABLE_ROCE_ALLREDUCE=1
#     (their vllm #597 / b12x #295 pair; −5–19% decode per-step,
#     +15–23% c16 measured on 4× Spark TP4).
#   - MTP k=5 with drafter moe_backend=humming + B12X attention (vendor-card
#     parity), AOT=1 + MEGA_AOT=1 + V2 runner, mamba-cache-mode align,
#     instanttensor buffered loader, prefix caching ON (we run prefix-cache
#     off elsewhere — perf-relevant, not quality-relevant).
#
# Deliberate parity deviations from our house lanes:
#   - NO --language-model-only (their recipe loads the vision tower; add the
#     flag only if memory is tight)
#   - --kv-cache-dtype fp8 (plain), not fp8_ds_mla
#   - no --decode-context-parallel-size (their DCP=1 is the default; no-op)
#   - NCCL/cluster env comes from the launcher (their NCCL_* block omitted)
