# GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 — local-inference-lab quant (vLLM) — 2× DGX Spark, TP=2.
#
# local-inference-lab mixed quant: NVFP4 routed experts (layers 3–44,
# group-16) + MXFP8 MTP experts (layer 45) + W4A4 input scales. Best agent
# quant so far: tool-eval-bench 89/100 (vs 85 LibertAIDAI, 90 official FP8).
# Model: https://huggingface.co/local-inference-lab/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4
#        (~186 GB → 92.72 GiB weights/node; KV pinned at 10 GiB, see below)
#
# Image: glm53-flash-nvfp4-lab:local (docker-images/glm53-flash-nvfp4-lab/ —
# day-0 arm64 image + NoPE-MLA mod + the four FujitsuPolycom lab-checkpoint
# patches: model naming shim, modelopt MTP namespace fix, persistent_topk
# CC-12.x guards). Their launch config is mirrored below.
# PROVENANCE: https://github.com/FujitsuPolycom/glm53-flash-tp2-spark
#             (Apache-2.0; see patches/UPSTREAM.md) + forum 381350 #41.
#
# Deviations from their launch script (intentional):
#   * no --kda-prefill-backend flashkda (needs their base-image patch — skipped)
#   * --kv-cache-dtype fp8_ds_mla instead of `fp8` (same packed layout; this
#     spelling is what the NoPE-MLA mod booted with on the LibertAIDAI stack)
#   * --language-model-only + no mm-renderer patch/env (text-only)
#   * no bundled NCCL/LD_PRELOAD, no NCCL_* fabric block (our switched fabric
#     is configured via [nccl.ds4] + launcher GID auto-detect)
#   * no --moe-backend marlin: their proven stack uses the default backend for
#     THIS quant and reports clean evals. Sanity-check output for token loops
#     anyway (the silent FP4 MoE corruption gotcha) before trusting a new node.
#   * flashinfer autotune disabled via --kernel-config (their proven boot);
#     VLLM_ENGINE_READY_TIMEOUT_S stays high regardless.
#
# Boot success markers (engine log, in order):
#   "Model loading took 92.72 GiB" → "[quantprobe] ... algo=MXFP8" (MTP fix
#   active; algo=None means broken) → "GPU KV cache size: 1,164,369 tokens" →
#   "Application startup complete". ~700 s sequential weight load.
#
# Test request: chat completions need "chat_template_kwargs":{"reasoning_effort"
# :"low"} — omitted/other values select MAX reasoning effort (empty content on
# short max_tokens).
#
# Optional: instanttensor loader (~30 s weight load vs ~700 s):
#   FROM glm53-flash-nvfp4-lab:local + pip install --no-deps --no-build-isolation
#   instanttensor==0.1.9, then add --load-format instanttensor (--no-deps is
#   required: resolution would downgrade the image's NCCL).
#
# PREREQUISITES: weights cached on both nodes:
#   hf download local-inference-lab/GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4
