inkling-small-nvfp4-rtxpro6000-sglang-tp2Inkling-Small-NVFP4 on two RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Max-Q (sm_120) via SGLang TP-2, ctx 131,072. Upstream dspark image + ONE patched kernel file (two one-line fixes: grouped-GEMM num_stages 4->3 for sm_120's 101,376 B shared memory; silu_and_mul rerouted from Helion, which has no sm_120 config, to the in-file Triton kernel — verified bit-exact). MoE runner marlin, attention triton, KV fp8_e5m2. Stock vLLM v0.27.1 has no sm_120 attention path for this model and asserts at startup; with a locally ported attention kernel it serves but computes garbage (cutlass NVFP4 MoE wrong at 256 experts/top-6 on sm_120; marlin-in-vLLM did not rescue that stack), so SGLang is the coherent path. Temporary bridge: retire when upstream SGLang ships sm_120 kernels for this model.

traces
| date | detail | event |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-25T08:17-05:00 | Stock vLLM v0.27.1 asserts at startup (no sm_120 paged-KV attention for this model). With a locally ported sm_120 attention kernel it loads and serves; positive control FAILS: token salad in both reasoning and content at temp 1.0 / effort none. Marlin MoE swap inside vLLM (three variants) still garbage. Engine fault, not hardware/quant. | vllm_first_light_garbage |
| 2026-08-25 | SGLang TP-2 NCCL init hung 26 min with both GPUs at 100% util (~1 GB) on this AM5 board; NCCL_P2P_DISABLE=1 -> init in 0.89 s. | nccl_init_hang |
| 2026-08-25 | 'Required 110592 > 101376' from the small-M grouped-GEMM decode config; num_stages 4->3 (73,728 B) in inkling_moe.py. | fix1_grouped_gemm_smem |
| 2026-08-25 | silu_and_mul_interleaved_sm_120.json missing and cannot be autogenerated (int32/int64 catch-22); interleaved branch rerouted to the in-file pure-Triton silu_and_mul_triton. Later tensor-level diff vs eager reference: bit-exact. | fix2_helion_silu |
| 2026-08-25 | Health 200 in 215 s on first start (110 s on later starts with the kernel cache volume). Positive control PASS: factual Q&A, 17x23=391, tool call parses (inkling parser), thinking effort low/high/off all coherent; ~92-117 tok/s effective. | startup_success |
| 2026-08-25 | 21-prompt parity check against the vendor API: 21/21 locally = 21/21 on the vendor API for the same model (0 drop). | canary_parity |
| 2026-08-25T13:35-05:00 | Bind-mount replaced by a built image: Dockerfile asserts the in-image original sha256 (f23a3775...) and the patched sha256 (c101a7e8...) at build time. | managed_image_built |
| 2026-08-25 | ctx 32768 -> 65536 -> 131072; KV pool unchanged at 474,388 fp8_e5m2 tokens (fits 3 concurrent at 128k). bf16 KV pool would be 237,194 tokens; a 24/25 vs 25/25 retrieval probe showed no meaningful fp8-KV cost. | context_raise |
| 2026-08-26T02:14-05:00 | Idle-server tok/s bench: ~115 tok/s effective on every prompt class, decode 114.6-117.9, TTFT 0.06 s; 4 concurrent 306.6 tok/s aggregate (~85/stream, TTFT 0.32 s). Later sustained load (9.6 h contiguous): peaks 88 C / 277-283 W per GPU, no throttling. | benchmark |
