# GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 (lab quant) on the COMMUNITY sparkrun image — 2× DGX
# Spark, TP=2.
#
# Image: aidendle94/sparkrun-vllm-glm53-gb10 (Spark Arena / sparkrun
# orchestrator's GLM-5.3 vLLM build). Verified 2026-08-29: same day-0 vLLM
# dev base as our lab image reports (v0.1.dev20051+g487ecf187, torch
# 2.13.0+cu130), arm64-only (no manifest list — sm_121 target), generic
# `vllm serve` entrypoint, no baked weights. Digest pin (single-arch
# manifest, checked with `docker manifest inspect`):
#   sha256:9b0592293a0b0161a040568578aca330227a03d140fa1c5f8965f64292431ef0
#
# WHY THIS RECIPE: cross-checks our home-built lab image against the Spark
# Arena community stack — same checkpoint, same proven flag set, different
# runtime. If both boot and score alike, the flag set (not our patches) is
# the load-bearing part; any delta localizes to the image overlay.
# Flags are mirrored verbatim from recipes/glm53-flash-nvfp4-lab (their
# launch config + our fabric/env deviations — see that header for the full
# rationale of each knob).
#
# Weights live on the NAS (mounted at /mnt/nas on the nodes) and are
# exposed to the container via extra_mounts + HF_HOME — no per-node
# `hf download` needed (config.toml [mount_aliases] hf_cache repoints this
# site-wide).
#
# Boot markers: "Model loading took ~92.7 GiB" → "[quantprobe] …
# algo=MXFP8" (MTP/modelopt fix active in this image; algo=None means the
# image lacks the mod — report and fall back to our lab image) →
# "GPU KV cache size" → "Application startup complete".
#
# Chat needs "chat_template_kwargs":{"reasoning_effort":"low"} — omitted or
# other values select MAX reasoning effort (empty content on short
# max_tokens).
