The multi-turn Gemma-4 CoT problem is solved. One MeroMero-v2 seat, one weight set,
two aliases: char-rp (prose) + char-rp-reasoning (streaming chain-of-thought).
The winning stack, traced from vLLM source by the four-arm brokkr/dwarf panel:
- vllm/vllm-openai:v0.26.0 — ships transformers 5.14.1 natively, below the
head_dim guard, so Gemma-4-31B loads with no pin and no custom image. It also
carries the #48217 streaming pre-arm fix.
- A patched chat template whose enable_thinking:true branch force-opens a BARE
<|channel> (not <|channel>thought\n -- full-open defeats _preprocess_feed's
injection). --chat-template override, no re-quant.
- Two served-names char-rp / char-rp-thinking; --reasoning-parser gemma4;
default enable_thinking:false. LiteLLM char-rp -> prose, char-rp-reasoning ->
the thinking served-name with enable_thinking:true.
Verified: streaming CoT split 6/6 direct on :8016 and 3/3 through the gateway;
char-rp prose clean on both transports with no trailing-token leak.
Two hard-won facts recorded in persistent-memory:
- STREAMING ONLY. Non-streaming can't split -- extract_reasoning never receives
prompt_token_ids so the pre-arm can't fire (a vLLM one-shot bug unchanged
across v0.24-0.27). Fine here: Lobe/OWUI stream. Upstream PR #49797 fixes
non-streaming too, landing ~v0.28.0 -- then it's a clean image bump.
- KEY-NAME TRAP: vLLM streams reasoning in delta.reasoning; LiteLLM normalizes
to delta.reasoning_content. I lost two false-negative test rounds to this.
Canonical: stacks/meromero-charrp/ (compose + patched_chat_template.jinja) and
stacks/litellm/conf/config.yaml. Rollback is the .env image line + dropping
--chat-template.

# meromero-charrp — G4-MeroMero-v2-31B NVFP4A16 char-rp PROSE seat (non-thinking, MULTIMODAL)
|
|
# on ana-ml2 GPU0. Replaces the retired Magidonia GGUF seat (char-rp-gguf / llama-charrp).
|
|
#
|
|
# Gemma-4 dense but with SLIDING-WINDOW attention -> KV-efficient, serves the full native 256K
|
|
# at ~2x concurrency. Vision enabled: preprocessor_config.json was materialized from
|
|
# processor_config.json's image_processor section (Gemma4ImageProcessor); audio is
|
|
# config-declared but weightless (no audio tensors) so it serves image + text.
|
|
#
|
|
# Co-located on GPU0 with vllm-aeon-gen (gen). util 0.52 leaves ~5GB GPU0 headroom
|
|
# (0.55 left only ~1.8GB). Tunables in .env.

# IDENTICAL prompt (verified across plain/tools/post-tool/system shapes) --
