Runs marked unenforced were measured on a suite that requires constrained decoding, on a server shown not to apply the schema: mlx_lm accepts it and ignores it, and a few other servers and models break it. Those numbers do not measure what the suite is designed to measure. They are kept and labelled rather than deleted.

Where it came from

  • Repo / file: unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF / Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf.
  • Command: $PG "$B/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf" Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-Q4_K_M.gguf 6, where $PG is a 6-stream parallel range-fetch helper from an earlier working session and B=https://huggingface.co/unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct-GGUF/resolve/main.
  • Size: 18,556,689,568 B (stat, 2026-10-23). sha256: not on record (would have been in an earlier working session or the pget.sh output).
  • Date: 2026-08-12. File mtime 17:37:40 and .dl_complete 17:37 (stat 2026-10-23). This predates our session records.
  • Revision: not on record.
  • Who asked / why: the reason in the script header is "pairs with Agents-A1 (21.2GB) under the 51.8GB Metal working set so planner+coder can both stay resident". Who asked is not on record (before our session records).

Seats: never a fleetview seat. It has been a router preset in fleet-models.ini throughout: c = 81920 from 2026-08-19 (ini backups from 2026-08-19 through 2026-09-08, and live). The 2026-09-12 inventory called it an "active fleet seat" because it was a preset.

Timezone note: run-log ts 2026-08-24T17:54:17 BST = 16:54Z; 2026-09-07T23:38:29 / 23:51:55 BST = 22:38Z / 22:51Z, matching the commands.

Decisions

  • Downloaded as the coder half of a co-resident pair with Agents-A1 (get-coder.sh).
  • Context capped at 81920 on 2026-08-19 for headroom and --cache-ram (ini comment).
  • Kept as a preset but given no seat. It was ruled out for untrusted content and not preferred for coding over qwen3-next-80b. Coder roles were parked by Alan on 2026-09-08.
  • No Q4_0 made, though fleet_audit asked for one. The audit was later rescoped for MoE.
  • Published on the site as qwen3-coder-30b (status candidate).

What went wrong

  • Superseded shapegen/1 and sitebuild smoke (2026-09-07). shapegen/1 was graded under a grader later found to miscount primitives as shape nesting; sitebuild's first grader crashed on a model-emitted interfaces list of strings. Both were fixed before the run-log rows above; the earlier files are kept as .superseded.
  • Misdescribed architecture in an eval config: "Qwen3 Coder dense", active_params "30B".
  • Stale speed in docs: 52.5 t/s, corrected on 2026-08-23 to 64.4. It still appears in a lab note's model table, and in a table inside a gold-240 dataset case.
  • Coin-pusher claim reversed on 2026-08-27 ("working Coulomb-friction physics"). The 2026-08-19 play-test record says the pusher never touches a coin (a lab note).
  • Router residue (2026-09-08 15:38Z). The router reported it "loaded" while its child had 0.0 GB RSS, evicted to swap; the router was restarted.
  • Standing checks: no partial runs. The run-log build stamps agree with the evidence (b10369 for 08-24, b10618 for 08-26). The router rows rely on the router's own stamp. --jinja present on every launch on record.
