vh 74f596b1d3 feat(gen-seat): mixed NVFP4+FP8 requant — +18% decode at equal MTP acceptance
Re-quantizes the fleet `gen` seat from weight-only NVFP4A16 to a
mixed-precision build: NVFP4 W4A4 for layers 0-55 MLPs, FP8 W8A8 for the
attention projections / linear_attn / lm_head / layers 56-63 MLPs, FP8 KV
cache. Replicates the scheme of unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 on the
abliterated weights.

The queued task named this "W4A8" (NVFP4 weights + FP8 activations). That
checkpoint cannot be served: vLLM 0.24's compressed-tensors dispatcher
(compressed_tensors.py:704-713) accepts NVFP4 weights with either no input
quantization (W4A16, which forces the Marlin kernel) or NVFP4 input
quantization (W4A4) -- anything else, FP8 included, raises ValueError at
load. CompressedTensorsW4A8Fp8 is INT4 weights gated on an exact-sm90
check, so it is closed on Blackwell twice over. The ~20% intuition was
correct; the scheme name was not. Getting FP8 into the mix has to be done
per-layer-group.

Established the gain before spending GPU time: unsloth's build was already
on-box, so serving it as a probe measured +19.1% over our seat at identical
MTP acceptance -- a kernel-level result, no requant needed to learn it.

Measured, cache-busted, bs=1:

  decode              80.12 -> 94.53 tok/s   (+18.0%)
  MTP acceptance      47.8% -> 47.7%         (unchanged)
  perplexity (n=6)    6.941 -> 7.059         (+1.7%)
  abliteration        4/4   -> 4/4           (preserved)
  weights on disk     27.7  -> 22.5 GB       (-19%)

Surface test green on the live seat: plain chat, vision, tool calling,
thinking split, 36K-token needle retrieval, streaming. All 7 LiteLLM
aliases verified routing.

GEN_GPU_MEM_UTIL 0.45 -> 0.43: the new weights are 5.2 GB smaller, and at
0.45 the seat absorbed that slack as KV, leaving meromero-charrp 0.18 GiB
short of its budget on the shared GPU0 -- it crash-looped. Handing the
space back leaves gen 422K tokens of KV (1.6x its 262K context) and both
seats co-resident at 89.8/97.9 GB.

Also records two measured negatives so they are not re-chased:
GEN_SPEC_TOKENS is already optimal at 3 (swept 2/3/4/5 -> 77.1/80.1/78.7/
75.9 tok/s), and vLLM's prompt_logprobs are ~uniform while speculative
decoding is on, so perplexity must be measured with spec off.

Pipeline, acceptance harness and raw measurements land in
services/gen-seat-mixed-quant/. Rollback is one .env line; the previous
build is untouched at /tank/aimodels/qwen38-27b-uncensored-nvfp4.

"Explain, in three sentences, why a heat pump can deliver more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes.": "A heat pump does not generate heat from electricity but instead uses electrical energy to power a compressor that moves thermal energy from a cooler source, such as the outside air or ground, to a warmer destination. This process effectively transfers existing ambient heat into the building, meaning the total heat delivered is the sum of the extracted environmental heat and the work done by the compressor. Consequently, the system can deliver significantly more thermal energy than the electrical energy it consumes because it is leveraging the naturally available heat in the environment rather than creating it solely through electrical resistance.",
