vh 8d6921cb75 llama-swap: add Qwen3.6 35B-A3B stock + swap abliterated, 128K ctx
- New: qwen3.6-35-a3b using -hf unsloth/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF:UD-Q6_K_XL
  (~29 GB weights, thinking on, KB Qwen sampler defaults).
- Swap: qwen3.6-35-a3b-abliterated from IIEleven11 Heretic Q8_0 to
  mradermacher/Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-abliterated-i1-GGUF:i1-Q6_K (already in
  the /hfcache on ana-ml2; ~27 GB).
- Context: bumped both Qwen 3.6 entries 32768 -> 131072.

llama-swap

GGUF model server with on-demand model swapping. Served via llama.cpp's llama-server under the llama-swap proxy.

Server: ana-ml2 Port: 9292 (configurable via .env) GPU: both (unpinned — runtime: nvidia grants access to all devices; per-model GPU selection happens inside config.yaml)

Files

  • compose.yaml — canonical compose. Deployed to /opt/docker/compose/llama-swap/compose.yaml on ana-ml2.
  • .env.example — template for the per-host .env. Copy to .env on the server and tweak.
  • config.yaml — model definitions and groups. Deployed to /opt/docker/conf/llama-swap/config.yaml on the server.

Homepage labels are in the compose file under the AI Systems group, matching the convention used by vllm-qwen3 and infinity.

Deploy a fresh install

scripts/deploy-stack.sh ana-ml2 llama-swap

ssh ana-ml2 '
  cd /opt/docker/compose/llama-swap && \
  cp -n .env.example .env && \
  docker compose config && \
  docker compose up -d && \
  docker compose logs --tail=30
'

Model reference conventions

  • Modern entries: use -hf <user>/<repo>[:<quant>] — reads from the shared HF cache, nothing to pre-stage outside hf download
  • Legacy entries: use --model /models/<dir>/<file>.gguf — reads GGUFs from /tank/aimodels/llm/ (pre-HF-cache era, gradually being migrated)

New models should prefer the -hf pattern.

Deploy updates to config only

# After editing config.yaml here:
scp config.yaml ana-ml2:/opt/docker/conf/llama-swap/config.yaml
ssh ana-ml2 'cd /opt/docker/compose/llama-swap && docker compose restart'

Deploy updates to compose only

# After editing compose.yaml or .env.example here:
scripts/deploy-stack.sh ana-ml2 llama-swap
ssh ana-ml2 'cd /opt/docker/compose/llama-swap && docker compose up -d'
