The 35B-A3B is a Mixture-of-Experts model (3B active params per token), so
inference is significantly faster than the dense 27B despite more total weights —
hence the "flash" label. Use it for latency-sensitive workloads; use the 27B for
deeper reasoning.
Model files are downloaded idempotently by an initContainer into a shared

## VRAM budget (both models co-resident)
Both models run simultaneously on the same 96 GiB VRAM pool. Approximate usage:
| Model | Weights | KV cache (32k×4) | Subtotal |
|-------------------|----------|-------------------|----------|
| qwen3.6-27b | ~16 GiB | ~34 GiB | ~50 GiB |
| qwen3.6-36b-a3b | ~20 GiB | ~10 GiB | ~30 GiB |
| **Total** | | | **~80 GiB** |
~16 GiB headroom — comfortable but not infinite. If VRAM is exhausted ( Vulkan
allocation failures in logs), reduce `-c` on the 27B (its KV cache dominates) or
drop `-np` to 2 on either model.

isn't, with 96 GiB).

- `-c 32768` — total KV-cache context. With `-np 4` this is 8192 tokens per
concurrent request. For a 27B model the full 32k×4 KV cache is ~32 GiB of

## TODO
- `glm-4.7-flash`: still served by the external Ollama at `10.88.20.12:11434`
in `litellm/litellm.yaml`. Migrate once a GGUF source is confirmed (add a
`deployment-glm47-flash.yaml` + Service and flip the litellm entry).
4. Check the VRAM budget table above — two large models may not coexist.
