# char-rp-gguf — dedicated GGUF character-RP seat on fv-ml1 GPU 0, REPLACING the # broken ms32-24b-angel NVFP4 serve (garbage output — bad self-quant W4A4). # # Two co-located llama.cpp (llama-server) instances on GPU 0, served alongside the # 35B-A3B heretic `gen` (qwen36-27b-aeon stack, :8015): # # llama-charrp (:8016, gateway char-rp) — TheDrummer Magidonia-24B-v4.3 Q6_K. # Magistral (Mistral) dark-romantasy RP tune. NON-thinking PROSE seat: elite # literary prose, zero refusal, ~65 tok/s, precise POV/instruction adherence. # # llama-charrp-reasoning (:8018, gateway char-rp-reasoning) — ArliAI QwQ-32B-RpR-v4 Q5_K_M. # QwQ reasoning RP tune whose reasoning DATA was generated with QwQ-ABLITERATED # → it does NOT re-censor in the think phase (the exact failure mode that killed # the Pantheon/DeepSeek-distilled reasoners: they reason themselves into refusals # inside ). llama.cpp MANAGES QwQ reasoning natively: --reasoning on # surfaces the trace in reasoning_content (clean prose in content, no # leak), --reasoning-budget caps the chain-of-thought. ~50 tok/s @ Q5_K_M. # # WHY GGUF/llama.cpp (not vLLM NVFP4): sidesteps BOTH traps that killed the Angel serve # — the vLLM NVFP4 self-quant breakage AND the Mistral-tokenizer/vision crash. llama.cpp # handles Mistral + QwQ tokenizers natively. NEVER Ollama (banned fleet-wide). # # WHY TWO models (not one): no single dense 24-32B is BOTH an elite non-thinking prose # seat AND a clean managed-reasoning seat on llama.cpp. Magidonia's Magistral [THINK] # discipline is loose (won't reliably close [/THINK] on substantive reasoning → prose # bleeds into reasoning_content, content empties); Cydonia-R1's is emergent, so # llama.cpp can't manage/cap it → runaway CoT that never reaches prose. QwQ's template # opens natively → llama.cpp manages+caps it. So: best-of-breed per seat. # ONE-MODEL FALLBACK (consistent Mistral style, lighter reasoning): point both services # at Magidonia via CHARRP_REASONING_MODEL in .env and blank CHARRP_REASONING_EXTRA_*. # # ALTERNATE prose model: PaintedFantasy-v4.1-24B (also Magistral, more literary flair # but looser POV adherence) — set CHARRP_MODEL in .env. All candidate GGUFs are # pre-pulled to /tank/aimodels/llm/rp/. # # VRAM (GPU 0, co-resident with gen ~38G): Magidonia Q6 ~19G + RpR-v4 Q5 ~23G + KV/ # compute ~6-8G = ~85-88G / 97G (~9-12G margin). Keep ctx modest; drop CHARRP_*_CTX # to 8192 in .env if warmup bites. depends_on sequences char-rp first. # # API auth: blank (LAN-internal on the GPU host; matches API_KEY= in the AEON stack / # gateway VLLM_API_KEY). llama-server ignores the gateway's api_key when none is set. # # All tunables live in .env — edit that, not this file. name: char-rp-gguf services: # ── PROSE seat — non-thinking. gateway char-rp. ── llama-charrp: image: ${LLAMA_IMAGE:-ghcr.io/mostlygeek/llama-swap:cuda} container_name: ${CHARRP_CONTAINER:-llama-charrp} restart: unless-stopped runtime: nvidia ports: - "${CHARRP_PORT:-8016}:8080" volumes: - ${MODELS_DIR:-/tank/aimodels/llm}:/models:ro environment: # Pin to GPU 0 (the on-demand large-model card; the always-on vLLM trio owns GPU 1). - NVIDIA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=${CHARRP_GPU_ID:-0} entrypoint: ["/app/llama-server"] command: - --model - /models/${CHARRP_MODEL:-rp/TheDrummer_Magidonia-24B-v4.3-Q6_K.gguf} - --host - 0.0.0.0 - --port - "8080" - --n-gpu-layers - "999" - --ctx-size - "${CHARRP_CTX:-98304}" - --flash-attn - on # q8_0 KV cache ~halves KV VRAM (8-bit, near-lossless) → ~2x the context per GB. # Mistral/Magistral handles q8 KV cleanly.
