caldrix pool and caldrix pool --protocol-version: a daemon on a Unix socket that holds loaded models
and serves them to local clients over a framed protocol (caldrix pool).
It has run on the CPU lane, and on Metal on one Apple M1 Max at max context 2048 and one request at
8192; it has not been run on AMD GPUs.
caldrix models: search, inspect and list models from the downloaded model index
(caldrix models).
ollama:<name>[:<tag>] model references, downloaded from the Ollama registry
(Ollama tags).
Ollama Q4_K_M and Q8_0 tags, read and sized before any download and run at an f32 plan; an explicit --dtype bf16 and --weight-budget are refused for them by name
(Ollama tags). On Metal, on one Apple M1 Max, three small
tags and an 8 B Q4_K_M tag were token-exact in f32 and caldrix run of the 8 B tag completed. On the CPU
lane at x86-64-v3, four small tags were token-exact in f32 at the desk on one machine, a desk reading,
not a run. On AMD GPUs the hip lane compiles them and holds a quantized model to one request at a
time (--max-batch lowers from 8 to 1 with a startup line, and an explicit --max-batch 8 is refused
by name); nothing quantized has run on an AMD device.
Sampling for caldrix run: --temperature, --top-k, --top-p, --min-p, --repetition-penalty and --seed, and the chat's commands for them (Sampling).
Sampling for caldrix serve: the same six flags set the server's defaults, and /v1 requests accept temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p, repetition_penalty and seed per request, where v0.1.2
refused a non-neutral temperature, top_p, top_k, min_p or repetition_penalty with a 400
naming the field and accepted seed while decoding greedily
(Sampling). On the AMD lane with batching on (--max-batch 8,
its default there) the GPU picks each sampled token, so the same seed can give a different reply than a
pick on the CPU; --sampler host moves that pick back to the CPU. Every other lane, and --max-batch 1, always picks on the CPU.
--system TEXT|@FILE to set a system prompt, --raw to send the prompt as plain text, and --json for caldrix run's output as JSON.
The qwen3-30b-a3b alias and the Qwen3MoeForCausalLM architecture, verified by its token gates on
one AMD MI300X with every expert resident, on one Apple M1 Max streamed under a 56 GiB --weight-budget, and on the CPU lane streamed under a 20 GiB budget; --max-batch above 1 is refused
for it (Aliases).
CALDRIX_OFFLINE, like HF_HUB_OFFLINE but covering every network edge caldrix has: the Hub, the model
index and the Ollama registry (Environment).
MistralForCausalLM is accepted by the import; it is not verified on hardware.
Llama 3 rope scaling, applied from a config.json and from a GGUF's rope_freqs.weight.
Changed
Generation is no longer greedy-only: it is greedy unless a sampling flag asks otherwise.
The Metal prefill and decode attention are tiled over the context. On one Apple M1 Max a 6002-token
prompt ran at max context 7680, and max context 8192 loaded and ran.
caldrix run opens the chat screen on a terminal; --plain keeps the line-by-line chat.
Known limitations
Quantized tags have not been run on AMD GPUs; on the CPU lane they have only a desk reading, not a run;
quantized safetensors checkpoints are refused.
