# GLM-5.2 NF4 Lloyd-Experts-GPTQ — 4× DGX Spark (GB10, sm_121a), TP=4, DCP=4.
#
# Model: aidendle94/GLM-5.2-NF4-Lloyd-Experts-GPTQ
#   → https://huggingface.co/aidendle94/GLM-5.2-NF4-Lloyd-Experts-GPTQ
#
# Lloyd-codebook NF4 routed-expert overlay for GLM-5.2 (744B MoE, 256
# experts/layer, 8 activated/token, 78 layers, sparse-MLA). Expert weights
# quantized to 4-bit with a fitted Lloyd–Max codebook (−16.8% expert
# reconstruction error vs E2M1/MXFP4 baseline on the same GPTQ pipeline).
# Codes are indices into per-layer grids/L{n}.json — NOT the E2M1 table.
#
# LOADING via [composed_model]: the Lloyd repo is experts-only (no config,
# no tokenizer, no non-expert weights). The launcher builds a /tmp dir per
# node with symlinks into the HF cache and bind-mounts it at /root/model:
#   1. aidendle94/GLM-5.2-MXFP4-Experts-GPTQ (base checkpoint — config.json
#      with quant_method="hybrid_mxfp4_ct", hybrid-ct-*.safetensors non-expert
#      weights, tokenizer, mtp-draft) → all files symlinked.
#   2. aidendle94/GLM-5.2-NF4-Lloyd-Experts-GPTQ (Lloyd NF4 experts) →
#      L*.safetensors symlinked, OVERWRITING the MXFP4 E2M1 experts
#      (later sources win). Same filenames, same tensor names — the Lloyd
#      codes replace the E2M1 codes.
#   3. nf4_layers.json (generated) — tells the kernel which layers use the
#      nf4_e8m0_k32 decode path vs the default fp4_e8m0_k32 E2M1 bit-twiddle.
#
# The symlinks point to container-side paths (/root/.cache/huggingface/...)
# so they resolve inside the container where the HF cache is mounted. The
# _NF4_CODEBOOK is GLOBAL and hardcoded in the b12x binary (fitted as the
# mean of 71 per-layer Lloyd–Max tables) — the per-layer grids/L{n}.json
# files are reference artifacts, NOT loaded at runtime.
#
# Image: sparkrun-vllm-ds4-gb10:glm52
#   Built from docker-images/glm52/Dockerfile, which FROMs
#   aidendle94/sparkrun-vllm-ds4-gb10:production-hybrid-1.4 (bakes the
#   nf4_e8m0_k32 / nf4_packed kernel — inert without VLLM_NF4_LAYERS).
#
# PREREQUISITES:
#   - Both repos cached on every node via HF_HOME:
#       huggingface-cli download aidendle94/GLM-5.2-MXFP4-Experts-GPTQ
#       huggingface-cli download aidendle94/GLM-5.2-NF4-Lloyd-Experts-GPTQ
#     (MXFP4 base ~390 GB, Lloyd experts ~385 GB)
#   No manual overlay or JSON creation — [composed_model] handles everything.
