# GLM-5.3-Flash on 4× DGX Spark — aidendle94 sparkrun image (TP=4).
# 2026-09-07: retargeted at production-1.2 (hub, parity with the 159 2x lane);
# zai-org FP8 weights (306 G) now cached in the NAS hub — the old DEFERRED
# blocker (pending 328 GB download) is gone. All 4 nodes free (pluto switch).
#
# aiden's production 4-node profile, verbatim translation of
# https://aidenle.com/recipes/glm-5-3-flash-4x-dgx-spark into our 4x launcher
# shape. Reference numbers (his, single stream, idle cluster, thinking off):
#   ~84 tok/s decode (FP8, DFlash2 k=7) — NVFP4 +23% (110.7 structured);
#   prefill ~2,100 cold; TTFT 4 s @ 8K → 40 s @ 94K; KV 2.25M tokens at 16 GiB
#   pin; 393K context verified. Decode flat with context (34/45 KDA layers +
#   11 sparse-MLA @ index_topk 2048).
#
# DFlash2: acceptance 0.5–0.8; k=7 (drafter block 8 − 1 target token); k=6
# wins prose, loses structured. Native MTP fallback (production-1.0 image or
# spec omitted) optimum k=5. ~15 min full relaunch on FP8 (963 s measured).
# FP8-MLA + DFlash2 combination is STRUCTURALLY broken upstream (three trees
# fail differently) — hence plain fp8_e4m3 KV.
#
# NOT READY TO DEPLOY: needs a 4-node cluster (ds4 + 2nodes-dac freed) and the
# unsloth/GLM-5.3-Flash-FP8 checkpoint (328 GB — background download running
# on dgx3, /tmp/dl_fp8.log; ~340 GB free per node required for weights + Triton
# cache). Fabric: RoCE dual-HCA NCCL profile comes from the launcher (config
# [nccl.*] / GID auto-detect) — his NCCL_* env block intentionally omitted.
# NOTE: his launcher unsets VLLM_PREFIX_CACHE_RETENTION_INTERVAL via bash -lc
# before exec; if our boot rejects it in the KV coordinator, add a mods script.
