vh caa04801f3 fix(parakeet): move the seat from the empty GPU 3 to GPU 0
Placed on GPU 3 first because it was the empty card. That was the wrong read:
the seat is ~800 MiB, under 1% of a 96 GB card, so the question was never "where
does it fit" but "whose headroom is cheapest to spend".

vLLM sizes its KV cache as a fraction of TOTAL VRAM, not free VRAM. A resident
tenant on an otherwise-clean card therefore does not cost its own megabytes — it
costs the profiling margin of whatever full-size seat lands there later, and
flash-next needs 93 GiB of 96. A 96 GB card at 2 MiB can still take that; the
same card at 922 MiB is one where the next big seat needs its utilization
hand-trimmed, which this repo's flash-next history shows is both thin and silent
when it goes wrong.

Committed utilization per card is the number that governs, not free bytes:

    GPU 0   0.40 + 0.48                       = 0.88    ~13 GB spare  <- moved here
    GPU 1   0.52+0.24+0.10+0.055+0.03+0.03    = 0.975   ~4.3 GB
    GPU 2   0.96                                        ~1.8 GB
    GPU 3   -                                           kept empty as reserve

GPU 3 is back to 2 MiB / 97,247 MiB free and is now documented as a deliberate
reserve rather than a spare.

Post-move n=5 on the same clip: 0.68 / 0.54 / 0.54 / 0.52 / 0.53 s, median 0.54 s
against 0.50 s on GPU 3. The spreads overlap at this sample size and no difference
is claimed; the GPU 3 figure was taken on an idle card and is now noted as a best
case, since the seat shares GPU 0 with the hot serving path. Silence control and
the gateway round-trip both re-verified after the move.

Also records both Parakeet endpoints (FV v3 on Blackwell, IRV v2 on a 3090) and
the four confounds that make them not an A/B pair, sent to tts-dev for the bench.

## NVMe drive inventory (`tank`, raidz2-0) — read 2026-09-09 via `nvme-cli`
All eight are Dell Express Flash PM1725b 1.6 TB SFF (Samsung OEM), PCIe 3.0 x4 behind
a Broadcom PEX switch. Two provenance batches: the `S5CU…` six (fw 1.2.2) and the
`S47V…` pair (fw 1.2.0 / 1.2.1) with thousands of prior-life power cycles.

⚠ **nvme7 was ABSENT from every boot 2026-04-23 → 2026-09-05** (kernel enumerated 7
NVMes per boot; PCIe downstream port `02:04.0` had nothing on bus 07). It reappeared at
the 09-05 14:26 cold boot, the pool resilvered 638 GB, and 2 CKSUM errors landed on it
at import. While it was missing `tank` was DEGRADED, and Debian's `zfsutils-linux` cron
(`/usr/lib/zfs-linux/{scrub,trim}`) only touches pools whose health is `ONLINE`, so tank
got **no scrub and no trim from 04-12 to 09-06**. ZED's `ZED_EMAIL_ADDR=root` has no
MTA behind it, so the 4½-month degradation alerted nobody. `media_errors=2084` on
nvme7 is a lifetime counter.
**Settled by the 2026-09-09 scrub** (00:29–02:02 PT, `scrub repaired 0B in 01:32:44
with 0 errors`, then `zpool clear tank` → CKSUM 2 → 0): `media_errors` read **2084
before and 2084 after** a full 6.84 TiB verify, so the counter is prior-life
history, not an active fault, and the 2 CKSUM were the stale-block artefact of the
09-05 late resilver. **nvme7 stays in service; watch the counter at every visit and
replace on growth** (`zpool replace tank nvme7n1 <new>`; any PM1725b 1.6 TB or
larger). Slot 0-5 itself deserves a reseat / cable check at the next hands-on
visit — a bay that dropped a drive for 4½ months is the likelier fault than the
drive. Playbook: `playbooks/fv-ml1-pool-health.yaml` (idempotent; rerunning is a
no-op). ⚠ **Nothing alerts on this** — see the open follow-up in
`persistent-memory.d/2026-09-09-fv-ml1-pool-actions-done.md`.
## Key paths
| Path | Purpose |
|------|---------|
| `/opt/docker/compose/<stack>/` | Compose files |
| `/opt/docker/conf/<stack>/` | Config bind mounts |
| `/tank/aimodels/huggingface/` | HF cache (267 GB, pre-downloaded models) |
| `/tank/aimodels/llm/` | Legacy GGUF models (790 GB, referenced by llama-swap as `/models/`) |
| `/var/lib/docker/` | Docker data (on zroot) |
## Running stacks
Live inventory as of 2026-07-22. Each model is its own compose stack now
(container `vllm-<x>` / `llama-<x>`); the `vllm` stack proper is just the
embed/rerank/reward trio. GPUs are pinned per container via
`deploy.resources.reservations.devices[].device_ids`.
**GPU 0 — heavy RP / reasoning seats (~88/98 GB, hot serving path):**
| Container | Port | Served model | Quant | Ctx |
|-----------|------|--------------|-------|-----|
| `vllm-gen` (project `gen-seat`) | 8015 | `qwen3.8-27b-uncensored` — the "gen" hero seat (Qwen3.8-27B Heretic-abliterated, in-house NVFP4 W4A16 + grafted MTP) | NVFP4 W4A16 (compressed-tensors) | 262k |
| `vllm-charrp-reasoning-nvfp4` | 8018 | `char-rp-reasoning` (R36 reasoning RP) | NVFP4 (modelopt) | 256k |
**GPU 1 — light / eval / retrieval + char-RP GGUF (~91/98 GB, on-demand):**
| Container | Port | Served model | Quant | Ctx |
|-----------|------|--------------|-------|-----|
| `vllm-granite` | 8004 | `granite-4.1-8b` — fleet summarizer/classifier | FP8 (compressed-tensors) | 131k |
| `llama-charrp` | 8016 | `Magidonia-24B-v4.3` Q6_K — char-RP (llama.cpp) | GGUF Q6_K | — |
| ~~`vllm-selene`~~ | ~~8011~~ | **RETIRED 2026-08-23** — lost a head-to-head against `gen` on its own judge task (see `stacks/selene/README.md`); seat downed to reclaim 17.2 GiB on GPU 1. `selene-1-mini-8b` now 404s by design; use `chat-judge`. | — | — |
| `vllm-reward` | 8003 | `Skywork-Reward-V2-Llama-3.1-8B-AWQ` — reward classifier | AWQ | 16k |
| `vllm-embed` | 8001 | `Qwen3-Embedding-0.6B` | — | 8k |
| `vllm-rerank` | 8002 | `Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B` | — | 8k |
**Infra / non-GPU:**
| Container | Port | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| `dockge` | 5001 | Docker stack management UI |
| `dozzle-agent` | 7007 | Log agent → Dozzle hub on ana-docker |
| `beszel-agent` | 45876 | Metrics agent → Beszel hub on ana-docker |
Both cards run near-full (~7–10 GB headroom each) — adding a seat means placing
it on the card with room or evicting a dormant one first.
**Dormant (compose present on disk, containers stopped)** — rollback / audition
seats, safe to leave: `mistral-medium-3.5`, `mistral-small-4(-heretic)`,
`ms32-24b-angel`, `qwen3.5-122b`, `qwopus3.5-122b`, `qwen35-vl`, `qwen36-vl`,
`qwen36-27b-aeon`, `qwen-image-bench`, `vibevoice`, `comfyui`, `kokoro`,
`vllm-qwen3`.
**Also on GPU 0 (non-vLLM):**
| Container | Port | Serves | Notes |
|-----------|------|--------|-------|
| `parakeet` | 8300 | Parakeet-TDT 0.6B v3 int8 (25 languages) | ASR via sherpa-onnx, LiteLLM `ext-stt` / `whisper-1`. Relocated from irv-ml1 2026-09-15. ~800 MiB. `stacks/parakeet/`. |
⚠ **GPU 3 is deliberately kept EMPTY (2 MiB).** It is the only card that can still
take a full-size seat — `flash-next` needs 93 GiB of 96 — and vLLM sizes its KV
cache against *total* VRAM rather than free VRAM, so even a sub-1 GB tenant there
eats into a future big seat's profiling margin. Small seats go on GPU 0, which has
the most uncommitted headroom (its seats commit util 0.88; GPU 1 is at 0.975 and
GPU 2 at 0.96).
**Retired:**
- `llama-swap` (former GGUF multiplexer on :9292) — replaced by dedicated
per-model seats (e.g. `llama-charrp`); no longer running.
- `infinity` — replaced by the `vllm` stack (originally `vllm-qwen3`, renamed 2026-05-13 when the stack expanded beyond Qwen3) after the upstream Infinity image stopped shipping a `transformers` build that knew Qwen3.
- `LibreChat (+ rag_api, vectordb, mongodb, meilisearch)`, `searxng` — removed from this host (searxng now on ana-docker fleet-wide).
## Refresh state
```bash
scripts/refresh-server-info.sh fv-ml1
```
Latest snapshot: `system-details.txt` (regenerate as needed).
## GPU allocation policy
Every seat is explicitly pinned via `device_ids` (no unpinned containers), and
both cards run ~90% full:
- **GPU 0:** the two heavy NVFP4 seats — `vllm-gen` (gen) and
`vllm-charrp-reasoning-nvfp4`. The live serving path (near-100% util under
load), ~42 + 45 GB.
- **GPU 1:** everything else — reward,
embed, rerank, and the Magidonia char-RP GGUF seat. Bursty/on-demand, idle
between calls, ~91 GB resident.
Pin with `deploy.resources.reservations.devices[].device_ids: ["<id>"]` in
compose. Each service caps its share with `--gpu-memory-utilization`; with both
cards near-full, placing a new seat means freeing room (evict a dormant one) or
trimming a neighbour's utilization first.
