big-model runs on the sim engine, whose whole vocabulary is the Greek alphabet, cycled at a fixed rate until max_tokens. That is what it is for: with no H100s it is the only thing exercising the TP8 two-node path, the fabric invariant and rebuild-after-node-loss. The output is the point. What was wrong is that nothing said so. /v1/models returned it with owned_by "llmgw", identical to the real model, and the chat picker sorted purely by name — so "big-model" led the list, was preselected by the browser, and anyone who typed a question and pressed Send got Greek letters back with no explanation. Reported as the model spitting out crap, which is a fair reading of what it looks like from outside. Simulated is derived from the profiles rather than configured: an operator who adds a sim profile and forgets a flag would be shipping placeholder text under a real model's name. A model counts as simulated only when every profile is, because one real profile means the request can still come back as inference. The marker on /v1/models is owned_by "llmgw-sim", which is already what the sim engine calls itself on its own /v1/models — the gateway was flattening a distinction that existed one layer down.
