Two vLLM servers shared one GPU, each with its own --gpu-memory-utilization (0.35 and 0.25). Both answered, and per-process GPU memory was about 3.3 GB and 0.4 GB. The command above is abridged: the readiness waits and the curl probes are omitted. This was a single short run, not a load test.

Use fcfs (or lpm, dfs-weight, random, lof). SGLang advertises schedule_policy=priority, but the scheduler dies on it: the same server with --schedule-policy priority failed here (sgl-project/sglang#43161).

Turning chunked prefill off (--chunked-prefill-size -1) needs an explicit --mem-fraction-static: without it SGLang derives a negative fraction on a 24 GB GPU and the server dies (sgl-project/sglang#43160). Badgr reported that run as workload_exited with the real error: "Loaded weights leave no GPU memory for the KV cache under --mem-fraction-static=-0.03".

Supported configuration for vllm#60859. Asking for --kv-cache-dtype=float16 on this bf16 model crashes vLLM's engine; Badgr now refuses that with HTTP 422 before renting a GPU, and this auto setting is the working alternative.

  • ✓ CPU n-gram speculative decoding with a per-batch-size schedule started and passed Badgr's health and inference check

  • ✓ final_state = VERIFIED
  • ✓ Teardown completed

Workaround for vllm#60981: method ngram_gpu with num_speculative_tokens_per_batch_size crashes the engine once the scheduler picks a different K. Badgr now refuses that combination before provisioning; method ngram with the same schedule served 64 concurrent requests without an error. The crash itself was not re-run live.

GPU deployment scenarios

Estimated from parameter count and quantisation. This model's one verified real run was reported by the provider as NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090, which isn't one of the tiers below.

Testing

RTX 4090 24GB

Short context, low concurrency

Small production

L40S 48GB

8K context, 1-4 concurrent requests

Higher throughput

A100 80GB

32K context, continuous batching

Large production

RTX 4090 24GB

Higher concurrency

Estimated — multimodal inputs, long context, and concurrency all increase real VRAM use beyond this estimate.

Also runs well on L40S 48GB, A100 40GB. Available in United States, Europe.
