- qwen3-embedding and reranker: second deployment on nh3-ml1 (config);
reranker-a3-bge-v2-m3: second DB deployment via /model/new.
- router_settings.enable_weighted_failover: true. Only the three
multi-deployment groups are affected.
- Measured by stopping nh3-ml1 TEI: without failover 7/40 embeds 500'd;
with it rerank 80/80, embed 38/40 at onset and 60/60 over a 34 s outage;
nh3 rejoins rotation after restart. Split 12/28 embed, 22/18 rerank.
For brokkr's dataset foundry (operator-approved 2026-09-26, relayed).
- stacks/lfm-vl-seat: llama.cpp server-cuda b11176 (digest-pinned), Q5_K_M +
mmproj Q8_0, :8030; gateway alias lfm25-vl-3b (LiteLLM restarted, 36 s).
Positive control exact; null control shows it describes a missing image.
- stacks/vibevoice-asr-seat: audio.cpp v0.8.2-audio8-perf-hotfix (the GGUF's
own runtime, not vibevoice.cpp) on cuda 12.8 runtime + libgomp + libsoxr,
sha256-pinned; :8031 direct. LibriSpeech WER 3/69, RTF 0.07-0.14; ~31 s
cold first request.
Same model revision (df3ce67, blob sha matches fv-ml1), vLLM v0.24.0 and flags;
0.33 of the Ada (~5.4 GB, fv-ml1's absolute budget). Healthy, KV 79,808 tokens.
Parity (teacher-forced true code, 40 FIM prompts, 2,215 tokens, cache-salted):
each host is bit-exact with itself; cross-host |dlogprob| median 0.049, top-1
agreement 0.966 (Blackwell vs Ada + fp8 KV); against ground truth no quality
difference (mean logprob diff +0.008 +/- 0.019 SE). Speed on-box: ~5x slower
(64-tok FIM p50 ~1.0 s vs ~0.2 s; 63 vs 338 tok/s). Gateway coder-fast left on
fv-ml1 pending Prime's call.
nh3-ml1's first Temperature alert (2026-09-25 2105, 88.8 C) was nh3-pve's CPU
package during the nightly vzdump; the GPU sat at 47 C. hwmon is not namespaced,
so an LXC's agent reports its host's coretemp sensors under the LXC's name.
- hosts/{nh3,esh}-ml1.yaml: SENSORS=-coretemp_*,acpitz (blacklist); GPU and
NVMe temperatures verified still reported.
- Hub: Temperature >95 C / 5 m on nh3-pve and esh-pve for the CPUs (i9-13900H
TjMax 100 C; nh3-pve 2-hour averages reach 88 C on busy days).
- nh3-pve README: runs warmer than esh-pve; workload confounds it, check
airflow on the next visit.
NH3 site visit done: Secure Boot off, iGPU restored as boot VGA, AMT port cabled.
- nh3-pve: NVIDIA 580.178.04 (DKMS, open modules) via pve-nvidia-host.yaml.
- nh3-ml1 = CT 109 @ 10.100.50.80 via gpu-lxc.yaml; embed-rerank (TEI 1.9.4)
deployed with HOST_NAME/HOST_IP labels.
- Parity vs esh-ml1 (1,126 texts, 2 runs/host, controls): embed cosine min
0.999993 = own noise floor; overlap@10 1.000 vs MRL-256 positive control
0.684; rerank top-1 1.00, max diff 0.0014 vs floor 0.0020. On-box speed
identical within rep spread.
- gpu-lxc.yaml: first step upgrades lxc-pve to >= 6.0.0-2 (Proxmox fix#7006).
With 6.0.0-1 every docker run in a nesting CT failed on runc 1.5's sysctl
reopen; applied on nh3-pve (one package).
- pve-nvidia-host.yaml: document that the headers meta drags in the newest
kernel (nh3-pve went 6.8.12-11 -> -43 at the next reboot).
- Monitoring: Beszel NVIDIA agent + 5 alerts, Kuma #29/#30, Homepage
nh3-ml1-docker, Dozzle agent (hub 8 clients). DNS nh3-ml1.nh3.internal.
- nh3-pve README: SB/IGFX/driver/kernel state, btmtk oops on -4x kernels,
AMT cabled but unreachable on the network.
Gateway routing to nh3-ml1 is not changed.
