2026-10-30 11:30:03 +01:00 | 68 commits to main since this releaseWeights pinned to the commit they were added at and checked, by the nodes and the mirror, against the sha256
Hugging Face published; the documentsllmgw-kbsends embedded by the gateway; Strata offered by the plan,ctl model serve, the explorer and the serve forms; and cluster upgrades that tell the nodes together, say how far they
are, and do not fail a node that came back on the version.Upgrading.
- No migrations. Upgrade the control planes, then the nodes (
llmgw ctl upgrade v0.16.0), then each mirror's host
(sudo llmgw upgrade v0.16.0 --service llmgw-mirror). - A node checks what it fetches against the catalog's checksums only once it runs this version; until then it
fetches as before. - A model added from Hugging Face is now pinned when it is added, which needs the registry reachable from the
control plane; one it cannot be looked up in is refused, saying why. Models already in the catalog are left as
they are. - A Strata profile must say
--sizeas well as--family, and both must be ones Strata runs. llmgw-kbsends text alone to a gateway of this version; an olderllmgw-kbkeeps working, sending vectors.
Added
- Strata offered where models are chosen. For a repository of a family Strata runs,
ctl model planoffers "one
card with Strata, experts in RAM" with the RAM it takes,ctl model serve --engine strata(or the plan's choice)
builds its profile, the Hugging Face explorer lists it as running here, and the mirror's serve form serves such a
version on Strata. Strata's families and sizes are known: the catalog refuses one it does not run and reserves the
RAM a size keeps its experts in. - The gateway embeds the documents
llmgw-kbsends. A document may be sent as its passages' text alone; the
gateway embeds them through its own/v1/embeddingsas the caller, 32 at a time and four batches at once,
waiting out a busy engine rather than failing the document. About a kilobyte a passage leaves the machine instead
of a vector down and up again, some thirty times more.llmgw-kbdoes so with a gateway that says it can
(server_embedsin a collection's answer);--embed-herekeeps the old way. - Weights pinned to a commit, and checked against what Hugging Face published. A model added from Hugging Face
(hf:, a resolve URL on a branch, or a repository vLLM or SGLang downloads) is pinned to the commit it is at
then — the file's URL at that commit, or--revision— and each file's published sha256 goes in its origin. A node
refuses and deletes a copy that is not it, naming both checksums; the mirror does the same for whatctl model servefetches, andllmgw mirror addfor a Hugging Face URL (--sha256for others). Nodes need this version to
check; older ones fetch as before.
Fixed
-
A cluster upgrade that sat silent, or stopped on a node that had upgraded.
- The nodes of a wave are told together, each saying when it is done, and what is still awaited is said every 30
seconds; before, each was told in turn, up to five minutes each, with nothing on the screen. - The control plane takes the node registering again on the version as done: the agent's answer, sent a moment
before it exits, could be lost, and a node that had upgraded was failed as "older than v0.10.4". - The agent's download no longer ends with its connection (a control plane restarting, leadership moving), and the
control plane waits longer than the download may take; a second request while one runs is refused. - A cordoned or draining node upgraded is done; a node whose idle model stopped meanwhile is done once nothing on it
is starting; a node not connected is passed over and named at the end rather than stopping every node after it. - The console's node upgrade waits as long as the control plane, and offers no development version.
- systemd never gives up restarting the agent (
StartLimitIntervalSec=0), in units written from now on.

-
Strata. One named by hand in
agent.yamlwas never reported, so never placed on; its engine, which leaves the
server's process group, is now stopped with it; Pascal and Volta, which its CUDA 12 build runs, were refused. -
A name with a slash in it, asked through a standby control plane.
llmgw ctl kb delete Demo/hron a standby
was answered 405: the standby passed the request on to the leader withDemo%2Fhrunescaped, two segments instead
of one. The path now reaches the leader as it was sent.
