A profile's replicas, set on any of a model's profiles, is how many of its
replicas run there; the scaling becomes the sum. The reconciler starts the
ones short of their profile before stopping the ones over, so a change of
split never runs fewer. ctl model replicas sets them, adding a profile on
CPUs to a GGUF model; the router already fills the higher-priority pool
first, which the CPU profile is put below.

Each router's per-counter request and token counts, this minute's and the
last, ride the standby's two-second exchange with the leader. The leader
answers each standby with everyone else's sum, its own included, and puts
the standbys' sum in force on its own router; each limiter adds the
others' counts to its sliding window.

A standby follows the leader's Ready replicas over the agent port, every
two seconds, and reports back the replicas its router used and the
on-demand models it was asked for. No engine keys travel: every control
plane derives them from the cluster secret. Budgets are raised to the
store's every 30 s. Unheard from the leader for a minute, a standby
passes /v1 on as before. Off by default.

FreeToken (FlashML-org/FreeToken) serves mixture-of-experts models several
times a card's size from one card, experts in RAM, from Hugging Face
safetensors checkpoints. Installed like vLLM, from PyPI by uv, on every node
it runs on: compute capability 8.0+, driver 580+, x86-64, and the CUDA 13
toolkit it compiles kernels with. Older cards are passed over: on cuda01's
Quadro RTX 6000 (7.5) 0.2.1 had no kernel image for the first prefill, and
in fp16 hit an illegal memory access on its first request.
ft serve gets the model, address, card and served name; the key goes in
FREETOKEN_API_KEY. Flags that read files or fetch are refused, as are
FREETOKEN_ variables naming paths or the agent's own settings. ctl model
context sets --max-seq-len-override.
Readiness now also waits for an engine whose /health answers 200 while its
body says "loading", as FreeToken's does from the moment its HTTP server is up.
FreeToken is followed release by release: a weekly workflow fails when PyPI
has a version newer than DefaultEngines installs (scripts/engine_releases.py).

The busy figure is nvidia-smi's utilization.gpu: the share of time any
kernel ran, which a kernel on one SM fills. On cuda01 decode read 92% busy
while the SMs had work 69% of the time and issued on 18% of their cycles.
Busy is now said to be that, and beside it: each card's draw against its
power limit (efficiency table, fleet and node charts, the console's GPU
work chart), and where the profiling counters can be read, SMs active, SM
occupancy, tensor cores and DRAM (llmgw_gpu_*_active_percent), from NVML's
GPM on Hopper and later or a dcgm-exporter on the node
(discovery.dcgm_exporter). The GPU map colours by work by default and keeps
busy as a mode. A MIG instance is never published with its card's profile.

Strata (github.com/Niko1221/Strata) keeps a mixture-of-experts model's
experts in RAM and the ones used most in VRAM; on cuda01's RTX 6000 it
serves Qwen3.8-Flash-Next 125B at 70-87 tokens a second to one client.
- engines/strata.go: the adapter. The agent starts llmgw strata-serve,
which runs Strata's setup the way its desktop app does
(STRATA_CONTROL_INSTALL: installs nothing, writes only under the
replica's and the node's directories) on the fetched GGUF files, points
the configuration it writes at the installed engine, and execs Strata's
server. The key goes in STRATA_API_KEY, never on a command line.
- A profile's args go to setup: --family, --size (setup's --model, which
is the source everywhere else), --context, --parallel, ... Flags that
move files or pick the engine or GPU are refused.
- provision: the source pinned by digest in a Python environment, and the
release's prebuilt engine unpacked beside it, checked against the digest
GitHub publishes: CUDA 13 (7.5+, driver 580) or CUDA 12.9 (6.0-8.9,
driver 575). Python builds can now carry release assets.
- Metrics are vLLM's names under /metrics/prometheus.
- The catalog wants one card and a family, and a directory, not one .gguf.

mirror.peers names the mirrors kept in step with mirror.api. The

mirror the catalog names is down.

Python pickles (.bin, .pt, .pth, .ckpt, .pkl) run whatever they hold when
loaded, as the engine's user, on the node; that is how the malicious models
found on Hugging Face work. The node refuses such a source, or a mirror set
holding one, before fetching anything. A model added with one, or given
one, is refused, while one already in the catalog still loads and is
refused by its node with the same words. vLLM and SGLang downloading a
model by its id get --load-format safetensors. The mirror page marks the
file. allow_pickle: true on a model lets it through on purpose, carried to
the node in EngineProfile.allow_pickle.
BACKLOG M lists the rest: checksums against Hugging Face on every path,
its own scan, trusted publishers, engines without the internet, an eval
before an untrusted model serves.

llmgw keys cache --similar 0.95 also gives a chat question the answer to
one like it: the last user message embedded by router.cache.embedding_model
(asked on the gateway's account, as a judge is, within 2 s), compared by
cosine with the questions answered in the same conversation — system
prompt, earlier turns, tools and sampling the same. The exact cache is
asked first; an exact hit embeds nothing. Said as x-llmgw-cache: similar
with x-llmgw-cache-similarity, charged as a hit.
The vectors live with their answers in the gateway's memory, counted in
max_bytes and evicted with them, not in a pgvector table as BACKLOG I1
planned: the cache keeps answer text out of the store on purpose. A
question over 2,000 characters is reused only when the same. Migration

A site may be required to use a particular guardrail: Azure Content Safety,
Lakera, NeMo, a classifier of its own. A policy's services asks one over
HTTP — a body template given the text, header values from files read each
call, dotted paths to where the answer says unsafe and why — on input,
output or both, to block or flag. On input it reads the latest user turn
before the judge; on output the whole answer once at its end. A service
that does not answer is what the policy's fail says. It is told the text
only, never who sent it.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
With restore: true on a guardrail policy's input, what redact rewrote as
placeholders comes back in the answer: the model reads "[EMAIL_1]", the
client reads the address it sent. A streamed placeholder split across
events is held until it is whole, and what is held is sent at the end.
The swap runs before the output filter, so the output rules judge the
answer as the client reads it and a placeholder they make of a value the
model invented is never taken for the request's own. The map lives in the
Verdict for the request only; nothing stores, logs or traces it.

People → Sign-in shows single sign-on, Active Directory and SCIM, and
the directory's last sync. E sets up Entra ID from the tenant and client
IDs; D sets up Active Directory, tried from the control plane first:
each server bound, people who may sign in, members of each mapped group.
The secrets go into the store as store:auth/..., sealed by the master
key, and the CA into the settings, so no control plane needs a file.

auth.ldap checks a username and password against the domain controllers
over LDAPS or StartTLS: found with a service account, checked by binding
as the person. Groups, nested ones included, give staff roles and places
in the tree. Accounts are tied to the objectGUID; the leader reads the
directory every 15 minutes, suspends whom it disabled or removed and
reinstates them after, and refuses a sync that would suspend most.
Entra ID sends no groups for someone in more than 200, only where to
fetch them; that was read as none and took an administrator's role away.
It is now left as it was, and logged. An account made by SCIM or OIDC
can be reinstated again.

An external model takes api_key_files, each a file and an optional weight,
in place of api_key_file. Each key is an endpoint of its own
(external:MODEL#1, #2), so the router's scoring, retries and breakers work
per key. A key answering 429 is passed over while its breaker is open. A
key answering 401 is passed over too, and external_key_refused is sent,
naming the endpoint and never the key; with a single key the 401 is still
the client's. A key whose file cannot be read is left out, and usage
records which key answered by its endpoint.

Measured again after the store fixes. Cutting the store primary's power no
longer hung requests, but leadership moved anyway: the lease had lapsed for
everyone while Patroni promoted the standby, and a standby asked first. The
new leader then spent about 25 s without its nodes, and so without its
judges.
A standby that saw the store out of reach now leaves the lease alone for one
renew round after the store returns. The default lease is 10 s, and a node
detects a control plane that died silently in 8 s (5 s idle, 3 s ping)
rather than 15.

A customer's portal had no Images or 3D pages: nobody had written a
definition for either, on a cluster whose V100 runs both. The leading
control plane now adds flux-schnell and triposr, on demand, once a node
has a card that fits one, the cluster installs ComfyUI, and the catalog
makes nothing of that kind. presets.auto (a live setting, on by default)
turns it off; a preset somebody removes is recorded as declined and not
added back until added again by hand. Each addition is in the audit log.
GET /api/v1/presets says how each preset stands, the ComfyUI the cluster
installs, and why one is not added; POST /api/v1/presets/{name} adds one
(setting engines.comfyui where there is none); PUT /api/v1/presets/auto
switches it.

Stable Fast 3D's texture_baker and uv_unwrapper are C++/CUDA packages no
index has; on the PoC they were built and installed into ComfyUI's
environment by hand. nodes[].build names such directories, and the gate
builds each as a wheel with ComfyUI's Python, for the compute capability
torch reports for the replica's own card, keeps it on the node by the
node's commit, the architecture and the directory, and installs it
beside the replica with the node's requirements. A copy in ComfyUI's
environment does not pin it. A node with no CUDA toolkit says so.
comfyui.huggingface_repo shows the replica's weights to a node that
loads them by repository name, in the engines' Hugging Face cache, so a
gated repository needs no token on the node.

A catalog entry meant for many sites cannot know their GPU class names:
the PoC has a Quadro RTX 6000, a customer an A100, another an L40S. A
profile may now say gpu: {min_compute_capability, min_memory_gb} in
place of gpu_class, and stands for every class in the cluster that meets
it, named <profile>@<class>, at its own priority; placement still sees
exact classes. ProfileByName and EngineProfile resolve such a name to
the profile on that class, so every caller that maps a replica back to
its profile works unchanged. A ComfyUI profile may carry its own
workflow, checkpoint and nodes, and with its own source an fp8 workflow
and weights go to cards with fp8 and fp16 ones to Turing.
A profile by need is left out of placement until the cluster's cards are
known: with no class it would have read as a CPU profile.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A model's catalog entry now says what its workflow takes and makes:
comfyui.inputs, each a placeholder of its name with a type (text, int,
float, bool, choice, image, mask, audio, video, file), bounds, choices
and a default; and comfyui.output, which gains video, audio and files
beside pictures and meshes. POST /v1/workflows/runs with {model, inputs}
checks a request against them before a job is written — a required input
left out, an unknown one, a number out of bounds, a song sent as a
picture, another owner's file id are each refused with what was wrong —
and the job worker replays it to a replica, where the files go into
ComfyUI's input directory, the workflow is filled and run, and the first
file of the model's output kind is the job's result. /v1/models lists
each ComfyUI model's workflow, so a client can build its form.
A PNG result carries the licence in an iTXt chunk, as a GLB does in
asset.extras. A file whose server named no type is typed by its name
before its bytes, so a WAV is audio/wav, not audio/wave.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
A ComfyUI model may name an environment: the models of one environment
agree on every custom node they both name and on every package range,
so one replica can carry all of them and ComfyUI moves between their
weights itself rather than the card being handed over with a cold start
each time. The catalog refuses an environment that cannot share a
Python, naming both models; Catalog.Environments gives each one's
models, the union of their nodes and their weight sources, for
placement to build on.
A licence gains an id (SPDX where there is one), whether its output may
be used commercially, the regions it excludes, a revenue cap and the
attribution it asks for, so a person's or a site's choice of licences
can be matched without reading prose.
BACKLOG gains section H: ComfyUI as a platform.

TripoSR's checkpoint loads with transformers 4, and ComfyUI runs 5: of a

G2: the gate keeps a websocket open to its ComfyUI under a client id of its
own, puts that id on every workflow it lets through — ComfyUI tells only
the client that queued a workflow how it goes — and keeps the last word on
each: the node running, its step of how many. It answers at
/progress/{prompt_id}. While a job's request waits, the router reads the
queue (queued, n ahead) and the gate (running, node, step, percent) and
writes it into the job, which a client reads back. Only into a job of the
same key: a tag naming another's job writes nothing.
G3, the rest of the plumbing: comfyui.nodes names custom nodes by https
repository and full commit, with the PyPI packages they need. The gate puts
each in the replica's own custom_nodes at that commit and installs the
packages beside the replica, constrained to the versions ComfyUI's
environment already has, which it never changes. The catalog refuses a
branch for a commit and anything but package specs for requirements. An
OBJ a node saves leaves the gateway as a GLB, colours kept, so every mesh
can carry its licence.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
G3, the part that needs no model: a ComfyUI model's comfyui.output (or
external.output) says pictures or meshes. A request for a 3D model — a
job at /v1/3d/generations — carries the picture as base64; at the replica
it is uploaded to ComfyUI's input directory (the gate lets /upload/image
through), the workflow is filled in with its name, the seed and the
resolution, and the mesh the workflow saves comes back with its type,
which is the file the job keeps. comfy.Client reads every list of files an
output names, not "images" only, and types a file by its extension where
ComfyUI sends octet-stream.
A model's license (name, url, notice) is said in /v1/models and in the
job, and written into a GLB's asset.extras, since the file travels without
the API; a mesh it cannot be written into is refused. per_mesh in
auth.pricing, usage.meshes in the rows, the sums and the export
(migration 0045). A picture asked of a mesh model, or a mesh of a picture
model, is refused saying which it makes.

The catalog had one source a model, so an embedding model served by vLLM
from its repository on a card and by llama.cpp from a GGUF on CPUs had its
entry swapped by hand halfway through the metallurgy import. A profile's
source is what its engine loads and placement looks for; the model's is
the default, and what updates and canaries move. ctl model add checks
every source, the GGUF check reads each llama.cpp profile's, and ctl
weights collects none a profile loads. An empty source leaves a profile's
fingerprint as it was, so running replicas do not read as stale.

A knowledge-base import sends far more than the cluster can take at once,
and every band waited the same 30 s. A band now has its own queue_ttl, so
one for bulk work waits behind people instead of being turned away.
And a request turned away because the cluster stayed busy — the queue
full (503) or waited as long as its band may (504) — now carries
Retry-After: 10. Without it llmgw-kb, which retries only what says when
to, counted each such passage as failed; that is what turned parts of the
metallurgy import away.

A model whose profiles run engine comfyui is placed on a node's card like
any other, and makes pictures there. ComfyUI asks for no key, so the agent
starts it behind llmgw comfyui-gate: ComfyUI on the loopback, the gate on
the replica's port demanding the replica's key and letting through only
what the router asks — queueing, waiting, fetching, cancelling. The gate
answers the agent's /health and /v1/models, shows ComfyUI the fetched
weights by their own names, and gives each replica its own base directory.
ComfyUI runs as the gate's child, so its card memory is the replica's.
A node offers the engine when agent.yaml names its ComfyUI
(engines.comfyui.dir). The model's comfyui: block names the workflow and,
for a source that is a set of files, the checkpoint.

An external model with api: comfyui is a ComfyUI server. A request for
pictures goes through the same key, allowlist, limit, admission and guard
checks as any other; at the replica it becomes a workflow — a built-in
(flux-schnell, flux-dev) or a JSON file in API format, with {{prompt}},
{{width}}, {{seed}} and the like filled in — queued, waited on, and its
pictures sent back as b64_json. A client that leaves takes its workflow
off the queue or interrupts it. ComfyUI is never scraped for metrics.

An adapter now has an owner (org, team, project, user or key): only callers
there see it, and to anyone else it is a model that does not exist, absent
from /v1/models too. A training job's owner defaults to the one collection
its pairs come from, must be able to read every collection they come from,
and pairs from a knowledge base are never made public. ctl train publish
keeps the GGUF or PEFT files on the mirror, which accepts uploads now, and
sets the owned adapter after the usual architecture check.
The knowledge bases' cache_salt follows the collections searched rather
than the organization, so two teams of one organization no longer share
cached passages.

firewall.enabled (default true) is a cluster setting, applied live: the
leader sends a Firewall message to every agent when it registers and when
the setting or firewall_networks changes, and the agent (root) takes llmgw's
nft table out or installs it. A control plane writes the state to
/var/lib/llmgw/firewall.json, which llmgw-firewall-sync.path applies as root
with `llmgw firewall sync`; server init and server add install the units,
`llmgw firewall sync --install` on one set up before. node add and server
add put no firewall on a machine while the setting is off.
`llmgw wipe` removes llmgw from a machine after listing what goes and asking
for its name: units, engines' processes, the nft table, /etc/llmgw,
/var/lib/llmgw, the agent's state, the sudo grant, the CA from the trust
store, keepalived's configuration when llmgw wrote it, and the users.

withdrawn. Peers are checked at /ready, timed, and taken out of routing
while down. Requests to a peer carry x-llmgw-hop and are refused (508) when
they come back to a cluster they passed through; residency and no_store
keep requests off peers; X-Request-Id and, with --send-tags, attribution
tags go along. ctl model fallbacks sets overflow to a peer. Console view,
metrics, admin API routes and docs.

Plan §7.5 tier 2, opt-in per profile with kv_events. The agent starts vLLM
publishing KV cache events to a loopback port it listens on (pure-Go zmq4,
msgpack in both of vLLM's encodings), with sha256_cbor hashing and a fixed
PYTHONHASHSEED; it mirrors each engine's blocks and sends net changes up the
existing stream, with a full copy on every new one and a reset on gaps,
restarts and clears. The control plane hands them to the router, for the
sending node's own replicas only. The router tokenizes through a replica's
/tokenize, hashes the tokens as vLLM does (checked against cbor2/hashlib
golden values), and scores replicas by the share of leading blocks held,
falling back to the approximate tree. New metrics beside
llmgw_prefix_decisions_total. Untested against a running vLLM.

Nodes say where they are with llmgw.io/site, room, row, rack and pdu labels,
from agent.yaml or `llmgw ctl label` (kept in the store, over the agent's).
Placement spreads a model's replicas across racks and PDUs, keeps a
multi-node replica within one domain when its profile says keep_within,
places nothing in a domain held with `llmgw ctl facility hold` (optionally
draining it), and refuses a shard that would take a domain past its power
cap from facility.budgets, counting declared, derived and measured draw.
Explain-placement names the domain, and keeps the rejections of a placed
replica; `ctl nodes` gains LOCATION and --domain; `ctl facility` lists the
domains; the console's Nodes view shows and sets location and holds.
