Turbofit
2.3 model authority
Fit List keeps dedicated VRAM separate from integrated/RAM-only total memory. Dedicated: Maple Preview TQ2_0 at 8GB, Qwen 3.8 27B Unleashed UD-IQ3_XXS at 16GB, UD-Q3_K_XL at 24–95GB, and Qwen 3.8 27B 16-bit at 96GB+ until an Unleashed FP16 GGUF is published. Shared total memory: Maple at 8–15GB, Ornith 1.5 35A3B at 16–23GB, and Unleashed UD-Q3_K_XL at 24GB+. An 8GB GPU may also use Ornith when host RAM can hold offloaded experts. Maple remains Auto on dedicated 8GB at native 64K/128K. Auxiliary is Ornith, optional Carwin Nano, or auto.
Use this bundled plugin skill when configuring or inspecting Turbofit for Hermes Agent.
Operator workflow
- Call
turbofit_statusto inspect provider registration, gateway health, selected hardware profile, active rung, and stable routes. - Call
turbofit_configurewithprofile: autofor hardware selection. Manualhardware-*gbprofiles are accepted only when physical topology fits. - Set
primary: trueto usecustom:turbofitwith modelautoas the main Hermes provider. - Set
fallback: trueto append Turbofit to the canonicalfallback_providerschain; set it false to remove only Turbofit while preserving other fallbacks. - Set
publish_tailnet: trueto create private Tailscale Serve routes for the provider and dashboard; the returned HTTPS provider URL is registered automatically. - Set
install_sirvir: trueto install or update the canonicalSouthpawIN/sirvirGitHub profile without replacing its memories or user state. - Set
install_freetoken: trueonly on Linux x86_64 + NVIDIA driver 580+ + CUDA toolkit 13+ to install pinned FreeToken 0.1.2 as a text-only MoE candidate. It never changes Auto until exact on-box campaigns promote a supported model recipe. - Start a new Hermes session after provider changes.
The same controls are available in Hermes Desktop under Turbofit and through /turbofit status|update|shift|serve|tiers|setup.
/turbofit setup refreshes Hermes Desktop. A refused http://127.0.0.1:8091/v1/models means the Turbofit runtime is down — not the Hermes messaging gateway. Diagnose that from Sirvir or Desktop with turbofit_status. Setup downloads recommended models if they are missing.
Intelligence benchmarks
scripts/turbofit-catalog-campaignproves native runtime fit and TPS; it does not produce intelligence scores.scripts/turbofit-intelligence-campaignruns the exact successful quantized production recipe through pinned DeepSWE and the Turbofit agentic main/auxiliary pair harness.- Use
status,run-one, orrun --limit N; state is resumable inreferences/intelligence-campaign-state.json. - Scores require both benchmark suites and immutable raw evidence. Never replace missing scores with catalog tiers, parameter counts, or vendor benchmark claims.
/turbofit tiersandscripts/turbofit-hardware-tiersshow every 8/16/24/48/64/96/200/300 GB class with pending versus measured intelligence and TPS.scripts/turbofit-intelligence-campaignbenchmarks only the current machine's TurboFit List tournament candidates.rebuild-scoresrecomputes derived composites from raw suite counts; zero-call/token trials remain invalid infrastructure.scripts/turbofit-promote-list-winnerpromotes only an exact-tier candidate with current physical evidence, positive intelligence/TPS/balanced values, and matching recipe hashes.scripts/turbofit-listrenders the global evidence-only List.- Qwen 3.8 DFlash2 is a separate candidate runtime/artifact pair (
dflash2-llama.cpp,Qwen3.8-27B-DFlash2-Q4_K_M.gguf). Never attach that drafter to Bonsai. Bonsai uses its own released DSpark sidecar and Prism runtime until a dedicated Bonsai DFlash checkpoint exists.
Portable memory allocation
- Hardware fingerprints classify memory as
dedicated,unified, orcpuand reserve 5% of host RAM, bounded to 1–8 GiB. - Dedicated systems may combine accelerator VRAM with host RAM through llama.cpp offload; contexts beyond the model's native window place KV cache in host RAM when at least 32 GiB is usable.
- Unified-memory systems count RAM once and suppress discrete multi-GPU split flags.
- CPU-only systems set model and draft GPU layers to zero.
- Native backend order is CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan, then CPU on Linux/Windows, and Metal on macOS. Use
scripts/install-native-runtimes --backend <backend>for an explicit build.
Invariants
- Stable model IDs are
auto,active:main, andactive:aux. - FreeToken support is candidate-only: no active Qwen 3.8/Ornith replacement, no source TPS inheritance, and no Auto promotion without exact hardware/model evidence.
- External GPU processes are read-only pressure signals and are never terminated or signaled.
- The hardware recommendation remains the healing ceiling; transient pressure changes only the effective rung.
- Runtime activation and model lifecycle remain owned by
NativeRuntimeBackend, which signals only PID-verified children it launched. - Plain HTTP provider endpoints are limited to loopback or Tailscale addresses; all other endpoints require HTTPS.
- Every native llama.cpp command includes
--jinja; DSpark variants include target, draft, projector, and draft-attention arguments.
