The RTX 5090 and RTX PRO 6000 cells above — including every Speculative
Decoding / Serving Strategy / SSM dtype combination — were validated at
ISL 8192 / OSL 1024, concurrency 1; for DFLASH2, to that full standard on
NVFP4 and to boot-and-serve on the RTX PRO 6000 BF16/FP8 cells. The DGX Spark
cells cover the full combination set — DFLASH2 included — re-measured end to
end on `1cf2b8c`, but to a weaker standard: each of the 48 was confirmed to
**boot and serve** at ISL 8192 / OSL 1024, concurrency 1, with no throughput
or acceptance-length numbers taken.
Every cell above — RTX 5090, RTX PRO 6000 and DGX Spark, across all five
checkpoints and every Speculative Decoding / Serving Strategy / SSM dtype
combination — is measured on **v0.5.19**. That is 202 cells, each one served
and scored on the full 1319-question GSM8K (93.18-95.15%). The serving
envelope behind the pins is ISL 8192 / OSL 1024 at concurrency 1; throughput
and acceptance-length numbers were not re-taken in that sweep.

The two RadixArk NVFP4 exports differ only in the `lm_head`: one packs it to
FP4, the other leaves it dense in BF16. The dense head is ~1.7 GB larger on disk
and ~3.2 GB larger at runtime, so it is the harder of the two to fit — every
recipe on this page was measured against it, and the FP4-head cells reuse
those pins unchanged.
Both NVFP4 checkpoints declare `kv_cache_quant_algo: FP8`; SGLang's default
`--kv-cache-dtype auto` honors it, so the KV pool runs in `fp8_e4m3` with the
checkpoint's calibration scales automatically.
NVIDIA's own export is that same W4A4 body with that same FP4 head: identical
quantized-layer map (FP8 attention and GDN projections, NVFP4 MLPs), identical
tensor set, identical 21.9 GB on disk. On GB300, RTX PRO 6000 and DGX Spark its
cells reuse the FP4-head pins unchanged, and both SM12x grids have been
re-measured against this export on v0.5.19: all 16 overlay combinations per
card serve and score 94.01-95.00% (RTX PRO 6000) and 94.16-95.07% (DGX Spark)
on the full 1319-question GSM8K.
The RTX 5090 is measured too — all 15 overlay combinations it offers serve and
score 93.93-94.92% — and every winning launch command there is identical to the
FP4-head export's, which is the strongest form of the claim above. What the
32GB card does need is the draft-model rows pinning their own pools: those
recipes pin `--max-running-requests 1`, but nothing caps the pools to match, so
the KV pool sizes itself for 127,332 tokens against the 9,216 one
8192-in/1024-out request needs, and the engine's default split then leaves the
GDN state pool far short of the slots it needs once the draft model's weights
are counted against `--mem-fraction-static`. The DSPARK row therefore pins
`--max-total-tokens` and a measured `--mamba-full-memory-ratio`, as do DFLASH2
and MTP on the dense-lm_head export at float32 state. Those pins override the
calculator's live value for the selections that carry them. The no-speculation
row needs none of it and runs at the pins shown.
The two RadixArk checkpoints declare `kv_cache_quant_algo: FP8`, so SGLang's
default `--kv-cache-dtype auto` already puts their KV pool in `fp8_e4m3`. The
NVIDIA export ships no `kv_cache_scheme`, so `auto` would leave its pool in
BF16 instead. Every recipe on this page pins `--kv-cache-dtype fp8_e4m3`
explicitly, so all three run the same `fp8_e4m3` pool regardless; the
difference only shows up if you switch the Playground's **KV Cache Precision**
row back to Auto.

`uniform_q_len` path above, which raised no arity error on that build. Three host quirks when reproducing
on GB10: docker GPU access is CDI-only (`--device nvidia.com/gpu=all`, as no
`nvidia` runtime is registered); `nvidia-smi` reports `Not Supported` for
memory because it is unified with the CPU — gate a relaunch on `MemAvailable`
in `/proc/meminfo` instead; and the BF16 checkpoint takes ~6.5 minutes just
to load its 18 shards from NVMe, so budget ~10 minutes to READY before
calling a boot hung.
- **H200 (SM90)**: BF16 and FP8 only — the card has no FP4 tensor cores, so the
NVFP4 checkpoint's MLP would fall back to the Marlin W4A16 weight-only path
and its cell is greyed out. The H200 recipes use 32768-token prefill chunks
(SM90 prefill is fast enough that a big chunk barely stalls decode, unlike
the SM120 guidance below), and the FlashInfer GDN prefill backend engages by
default under them. `--attention-backend fa3` is a valid alternative,
measured slightly faster at bs=1.

boot and serve on `1cf2b8c` with the selector folded into the draft CUDA

**Final Verification In Progress** badge. The
RTX PRO 6000 recipe needs no changes. On the 32GB RTX 5090 every pin is
re-measured against that commit, and the panel applies them automatically:
DFlash2 at `--mem-fraction-static 0.91` with `--chunked-prefill-size 1024` —
the only cell on this page needing a smaller prefill chunk, because at 0.91
the pools fit but a 2048-token chunk's activations do not — DSpark at 0.88,
EAGLE at 0.93 (bfloat16) and 0.94 (float32), and no-speculation at 0.90.
That comparison's accuracy used zero-shot GSM8K with greedy sampling,
`max_new_tokens=2048`, 128 examples, and concurrency levels 1, 2, 4, 8
and 16 — a different protocol from this page's own sweep below.
Validation: every SM12x cell on this page is measured end to end on
v0.5.19 — 202 cells over the five checkpoints, four speculative options, two
serving tiers and two GDN state dtypes, full 1319-question GSM8K on each,
93.18-95.15%. The RTX PRO 6000 and DGX Spark recipes need no changes. On the
32GB RTX 5090 the panel applies the measured pins automatically: DFlash2 at
`--mem-fraction-static 0.91` with `--chunked-prefill-size 1024` — at 0.91 the
pools fit but a 2048-token chunk's activations do not — DSpark at 0.88
(bfloat16), 0.91 (float32) and 0.92 on the dense-lm_head export, all three
with their pools pinned and the last two also cutting the prefill chunk to
1024 and 512, EAGLE at 0.93 (bfloat16) and 0.94 (float32), and
no-speculation at 0.90.
Whether float32 is available with a draft model depends on the `lm_head`: on
the BF16-head export it is greyed out for both DSpark and DFlash2, since the
dense head's ~3.2 GB leave no fp32 state pool that also clears prefill graph
capture. The FP4-head export frees that headroom back — DSpark serves at 0.89
capture. The FP4-head export frees that headroom back — DSpark serves at 0.91
and DFlash2 High-Throughput at 0.895 with `--mamba-full-memory-ratio 10`
overriding the balanced value — and only DFlash2 Low-Latency stays out of
reach, where five fp32 slots and a full request's KV never coexist. bfloat16
