**DFLASH2 needs a build that tracks main.** DFlash2 landed in
[#35371](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/35371), and DFlash2 + NVFP4
— the quantized `lm_head` path — in
[#35496](https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/pull/35496). Both are newer than
the pinned `lmsysorg/sglang:qwen38-27b` tag and than the latest PyPI release; a
build without #35496 fails on the NVFP4 cells at boot with `requires a dense
FP16/BF16/FP32 target lm_head`. Every other recipe on this page — no
speculation, MTP, DSpark — runs on the pinned tag as written.

RTX PRO 6000 BF16/FP8 cells boot and serve; on H200, DGX Spark and GB300
those cells carry the **Final Verification In Progress**
badge. The
RTX PRO 6000 recipe needs no changes. On the 32GB RTX 5090 prefer
`--mamba-ssm-dtype bfloat16` at `--mem-fraction-static 0.90`: measured
strictly better than float32 for this draft (6.1 vs 8.3 ms TPOT, accept
3.30 vs 3.09) — the opposite of the EAGLE trade, so measure before assuming.
float32 still fits, but only at `--mem-fraction-static 0.945` with
`--mamba-full-memory-ratio 10` pinned in place of the balanced value: the
L = 9216 ratio leaves the fp32 state pool one slot short at every
serviceable mem-fraction (0.94 allocates four of Low-Latency's five slots;
0.95 OOMs at runtime), and the re-weighted split leaves the Low-Latency KV
pool a single-request envelope (~9.4k tokens) — no headroom for longer
requests or radix reuse. The panel's DFLASH2 option applies these re-pins
automatically.
RTX PRO 6000 recipe needs no changes. On the 32GB RTX 5090 the pins differ per
state dtype, and the panel applies them automatically. bfloat16 serves at
`--mem-fraction-static 0.88` on the balanced ratio (0.90, DSpark's pin, OOMs
on the first request). float32 reaches only the High-Throughput tier, at
`--mem-fraction-static 0.895` with `--mamba-full-memory-ratio 10` overriding
the balanced value — these cells pin `--max-running-requests 1`, so the
balanced ratio provisions KV for concurrency the recipe never uses and
starves the state pool of the slots fp32 needs. The Low-Latency tier is
greyed out for float32: it needs five fp32 slots plus a full request's KV,
and no mem-fraction holds both — buying the fifth slot cuts KV to 7,752
tokens against the 9,216 one 8192/1024 request needs, while every
mem-fraction with a large enough pool dies in prefill graph capture.
- **Hardware fit**: FP8 weights ~28.5GB (not serviceable beyond bs≤2 on
32GB cards); NVFP4 weights ~16.5GB (recommended for RTX 5090-class GPUs).
