Active experiment lane for one Gemma 4 26B A4B Q8-quality replica per Intel B70.
The promoted/reference packet is
../../results/gemma4-26b-a4b-q8-b70/.
Keep raw attempts, failed knobs, and patch notes here until a result is worth
promoting.
Before launching new sweeps, read the current research plan and model/runtime options.
Suggested subfolders:
experiments/gemma4-26b-a4b-q8-b70/
logs/ # short copied logs or checksums of external logs
patches/ # source/config patches tested in this lane
sweeps/ # small markdown/json summaries of parameter sweeps
Large logs should live under /mnt/fast-ai/bench-results/gemma4-26b-a4b-q8/
with paths and summaries recorded here or in ../../data/.
After the first replica serves:
| GPU | Purpose | First knobs |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Control | -fa 1, f16 KV, default graph/DNN |
| 1 | ubatch | -ub 64/128/256/512 |
| 2 | graph/DNN | GGML_SYCL_DISABLE_GRAPH=0/1, GGML_SYCL_DISABLE_DNN=0/1 |
| 3 | alternative runtime | vLLM int8-per-channel or candidate patch |
Every sweep entry should state quality status, not only speed.
