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.

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.
