# DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp — 2× GB10 / DGX Spark, TP=2 (vision lane).
#
# Model: deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp (MIT) — DeepSeek's first
# multimodal V4: 284B total / 13B active MoE, experts MXFP4, attention FP8,
# 32-layer ViT (~0.47B BF16) + aligner, native ctx 1,048,576; 43+3 MoE
# layers, DFlash attention, index_topk 512, fp8 block [128,128].
# Day-0 vision support lives in a vLLM PLUGIN (dsv4_vision) subclassing
# DeepseekV4ForCausalLM so DSpark speculative still works; the plugin is
# baked into our overlay image (docker-images/dsv4-flash-vision/, see its
# UPSTREAM.md for provenance and the sfxnz repo @7a958128b84a).
#
# Image: dsv4-flash-vision:local — built from eugr/spark-vllm-b12x:latest
# (digest sha256:7dc02f162929943ba2e14514066ed2a04bb7e9ed3592d4eb460ebcbb1f8376bd)

# (sha256:39cda85c28a8795dc20a274fdabfece66f329d1e21c3f4552a7e75061ea8696a)

# Model revision: 86f746b36186f0e567729a5c06a8c918caba82a9 (sfxnz pin).
#
# DEVIATIONS from the sfxnz run.sh defaults — all forced by our launcher:
#   * no --host/--port/--nnodes/--node-rank/--master-* (launcher fabric),
#   * no NCCL/* / IFACE / HCA env (launcher resolves; RoCE on sw fabric),
#   * weights from per-node local NVMe copies (`~/dsv4vision-hf`, 167 GiB
#     each on dgx3/dgx4 — rsync'd from the NAS hub 2026-09-01); shard load
#     drops from ~7 min (NAS) to well under a minute. Fallback: re-add the
#     `[[extra_mounts]] host = "/mnt/nas/ai/huggingface" … env = "HF_HOME"`
#     block below to stream from the NAS hub again.
# VLLM_USE_B12X_MHC stays OFF (this checkpoint has rms_norm_eps 1e-20; the
# fused Gram mHC kernel only accepts 1e-6 — upstream README).
#
# Boot markers: "vision" plugin registered line → "Model loading took …"
# (~84 GiB/node) → "GPU KV cache size" ≈ 1.25M tokens → "Application
# startup complete". Vision smoke: image_url content with the
# <｜deepseek_image｜> placeholder (cap 384 tokens per image).
#
# PREREQUISITES: weights cached on the NAS hub once (168 GB):
#   docker run --rm --entrypoint python3 -v /mnt/nas/ai/huggingface:/root/.cache/huggingface \
#     glm53-flash-nvfp4-lab:local -c "from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download; \
#     snapshot_download('deepseek-ai/DeepSeek-V4-Flash-Vision-Exp')"
