Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 dc483d8c68 Choose each engine's build from the node's hardware, for every GPU generation
Release / build (push) Successful in 1m12s
CI / test (push) Successful in 3m52s
Release / notes (push) Successful in 3s
Each engine has a list of builds, best first, from what its project
publishes and how each was compiled: llama.cpp CUDA 13.3, CUDA 12.8
(driver 570 for the GPUs it ships as PTX), then Vulkan, never the CPU
build on an NVIDIA node; vLLM CUDA 13, then CUDA 12.9, and for GPUs
older than every build of the version asked for, the newest built for
them (V100: 0.19.1). The node takes the first its hardware meets and
that installs and computes on the GPU, moving on when one does not, and
reports the version it runs. GPU processes are read from nvidia-smi's
full report, so Vulkan engines count as on their GPU.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 86e9a1cb83 Give V100s the last vLLM built for them, not a build without their kernels
Release / build (push) Successful in 1m13s
Release / notes (push) Successful in 4s
CI / test (push) Successful in 3m47s
Read from vLLM's release pipeline: every x86 build from 0.20.0 has
kernels for compute 7.5 and up, the CUDA 12.9 one included, and 0.19.1
is the last built for 7.0. PyPI's build is CUDA 13 from 0.20, not 0.26.
A V100 asked for a newer vLLM is refused, naming 0.19.1 for
engine_overrides; the CUDA 12.9 fallback is for older drivers on
Turing and newer. The cu129 wheel is found among the release's assets,
since its manylinux tag differs between versions.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 4f280a3546 Give each GPU node a vLLM build it can run, chosen on the cluster page
Release / build (push) Successful in 1m12s
Release / notes (push) Successful in 3s
CI / test (push) Successful in 3m55s
A node that cannot run the CUDA 13 build installs the same version's
CUDA 12.9 build from vLLM's GitHub release, with PyTorch's cu129 torch;
the install computes on the GPU before it counts. The build can be
chosen per node — auto, cu13, cu129, none — on the cluster page, with
ctl engine-build, or over the admin API; the control plane keeps the
choice and tells the node at once.

Ilker ManapandClaude Opus 5.5 4c5a2fd6da Install vLLM on every GPU node that can run it, as llama.cpp is
vLLM was installed by hand and named in each agent's configuration. The
agent now installs it: a Python 3.12 environment built by uv, which is
itself a GitHub release checked against its checksum, from PyPI resolved as
it stood a day after that vLLM was published and installed with
--require-hashes. The resolved list is kept in the environment. The
environment is built relocatable under a scratch name and renamed into place
once it runs, like an archive.

The default is 0.30.0, whose flags were checked against the ones llmgw
builds. It is built for CUDA 13, so it needs driver 580 and a Turing GPU or
newer, and 25 GB free while it installs; a node lacking one says which, and a
node with no GPU skips it without being shown as a fault. gcc comes with it
because Triton compiles its launcher at the first model load. SGLang
installs the same way when the control plane names a version. llmgw doctor
reports whether vLLM can be installed on the node.

Checked by installing 0.30.0 this way on a test node: 7.7 GB, torch 2.13 for
CUDA 13.0, importing cleanly; the node has no GPU, so vLLM was not started.
