+# Bonsai Ternary 8B MIG Deployment — Performance Test Results
+
+## Overview
+This document records the deployment and performance testing of the **Bonsai Ternary 1.58-bit 8B** model on four NVIDIA MIG `1g.10gb` instances in the local Kubernetes cluster.
+
+- **Namespace:** `bonsai-ternary`
+- **Deployment:** `bonsai-ternary-mig`
+- **Replicas:** 4 (one per available MIG instance)
+- **Proxy:** LiteLLM (`litellm-bonsai-proxy`) exposed on `http://100.115.213.88:4000/v1`
+- **Model file:** `Ternary-Bonsai-8B-Q2_0.gguf` (mounted via hostPath)
+
+## Final Deployment Configuration
+
+### llama-server Command
+```yaml
+- /opt/prism-release/llama-prism-b8846-d104cf1/llama-server
+- --host
+- "0.0.0.0"
+- --port
+- "8080"
+- -m
+- /model/Ternary-Bonsai-8B-Q2_0.gguf
+- --ctx-size
+- "65536"
+- --parallel
+- "2"
+- --cache-type-k
+- "q8_0"
+- --cache-type-v
+- "q8_0"
+- --threads
+- "8"
+```
+
+### Resource Requests
+```yaml
+limits:
+  nvidia.com/mig-1g.10gb: 1
+requests:
+  nvidia.com/mig-1g.10gb: 1
+```
+
+### Host Library Mounts
+- `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcuda.so.1`
+- `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libgomp.so.1`
+- `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnvidia-ptxjitcompiler.so.1`
+
+### Proxy
+The LiteLLM proxy is configured with `hostNetwork: true` and listens directly on host port `4000`, routing to the backend Kubernetes service `bonsai-ternary-mig:8080`.
+
+## Test Methodology
+
+Tests were run from the host against:
+```
+http://100.115.213.88:4000/v1/completions
+```
+
+Payload template:
+```json
+{
+  "model": "bonsai-ternary-8b",
+  "prompt": "Once upon a time",
+  "max_tokens": <N>,
+  "temperature": 0.0
+}
+```
+
+Metrics collected:
+- `tokens_predicted` from the response
+- `timings.predicted_per_second` from the response
+- Wall-clock time for the full test run
+- Aggregate throughput = total tokens / wall-clock time
+
+## Test Results
+
+### 1. Baseline — 4K context, parallel=1, f16 KV
+Configuration: `--ctx-size 4096 --parallel 1`
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Requests | 8 |
+| Concurrency | 4 |
+| max_tokens | 4000 |
+| Completed | 8/8 |
+| Total tokens | 32,000 |
+| Wall-clock time | 573.99s |
+| **Aggregate throughput** | **55.75 tok/s** |
+| Single-stream throughput | ~28 tok/s |
+| Average latency | 197.40s |
+
+### 2. 64K context, parallel=1, f16 KV (CPU offload)
+Configuration: `--ctx-size 65536 --parallel 1`
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Context size | 65536 |
+| KV cache | 3328 MiB CPU + 5888 MiB GPU |
+| 100-token smoke test | **63.66s (~1.6 tok/s)** |
+| 6000-token batch test | **Timed out at 600s** |
+
+The KV cache exceeded GPU memory and was partially offloaded to host RAM, causing severe slowdown.
+
+### 3. 64K context, parallel=1, q8_0 KV
+Configuration: `--ctx-size 65536 --parallel 1 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0`
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| KV cache | 4896 MiB GPU |
+| GPU memory per instance | ~7224 MiB |
+| Requests | 4 |
+| Concurrency | 4 |
+| max_tokens | 4000 |
+| Completed | 4/4 |
+| Total tokens | 16,000 |
+| Wall-clock time | 455.52s |
+| **Aggregate throughput** | **35.12 tok/s** |
+| Single-stream throughput | ~25 tok/s |
+| Average latency | 237.61s |
+
+q8_0 KV cache quantization restored usable throughput, but aggregate remained limited because only one request could run per backend at a time.
+
+### 4. 64K context, parallel=2, q8_0 KV (final configuration)
+Configuration: `--ctx-size 65536 --parallel 2 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0`
+
+Server confirmation:
+```
+llama_context: n_seq_max     = 2
+llama_context: n_ctx_seq     = 32768
+llama_kv_cache: CUDA0 KV buffer size = 4896.00 MiB
+```
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Slots per instance | 2 × 32K |
+| KV cache | 4896 MiB GPU |
+| GPU memory per instance | ~7224–7232 MiB |
+| Requests | 8 |
+| Concurrency | 8 |
+| max_tokens | 4000 |
+| Completed | 8/8 |
+| Total tokens | 26,399 |
+| Wall-clock time | 295.53s |
+| **Aggregate throughput** | **89.33 tok/s** |
+| Single-stream throughput | ~23–25 tok/s |
+| Average latency | 180.68s |
+
+This is near the theoretical maximum of ~100 tok/s for four MIG instances.
+
+## Final Observations
+
+- **vLLM is incompatible** with the Bonsai Ternary 1.58-bit GGUF format; it fails with `ValueError: np.uint32(42) is not a valid GGMLQuantizationType`. The Prism fork of llama.cpp is required.
+- **64K context is viable** on 10GB MIG partitions only with KV-cache quantization (`q8_0`) and parallelism to keep the cache in GPU memory.
+- **Aggregate throughput scales with backend concurrency**: moving from `parallel=1` to `parallel=2` increased aggregate throughput from 35 tok/s to 89 tok/s.
+- Single-stream speed is slightly lower at 64K context (~23–25 tok/s) compared to 4K context (~28 tok/s) due to larger compute graph overhead.
+
+## Files Created
+
+- `/home/mctouch/code/production-stack/perf_test.py` — fixed-batch throughput test
+- `/home/mctouch/code/production-stack/perf_test_continuous.py` — continuous saturation test (not run to completion due to long per-request times)
+- `/tmp/bonsai-ternary-mig-deployment.yaml` — current deployment manifest
+- `/home/mctouch/code/production-stack/BONSAI_TERNARY_MIG_PERFORMANCE.md` — this file
+
+## Recommended Configuration
+
+Use the final settings from Test 4 for maximum token throughput on the 10GB MIG partitions:
+
+```yaml
+--ctx-size 65536
+--parallel 2
+--cache-type-k q8_0
+--cache-type-v q8_0
+--threads 8
+```
+
+Access via LiteLLM proxy:
+```
+http://100.115.213.88:4000/v1
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. Three MIG instances — 64K context, parallel=2, q8_0 KV
+After removing one replica (GPU 1), the deployment scaled down to 3 instances on GPUs 2, 3, and 4.
+
+Configuration: `--ctx-size 65536 --parallel 2 --cache-type-k q8_0 --cache-type-v q8_0`
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Active MIG instances | 3 |
+| Slots available | 6 (2 per instance) |
+| Requests | 6 |
+| Concurrency | 6 |
+| max_tokens | 4000 |
+| Completed | 6/6 |
+| Total tokens | 22,133 |
+| Wall-clock time | 455.48s |
+| **Aggregate throughput** | **48.59 tok/s** |
+| Single-stream throughput | ~22–25 tok/s |
+| Average latency | 208.44s |
+
+Throughput scaled proportionally with the loss of one backend: from **89.33 tok/s** with 4 instances to **48.59 tok/s** with 3 instances.
+
+## Node Loss Event Log
+
+When the deployment was scaled from 4 to 3 replicas, Kubernetes recorded the following events:
+
+```
+32m  Normal  Pulled              pod/bonsai-ternary-mig-55cbd8979b-vzj5h   Container image "localhost:5000/llama.cpp-server:prism-b8846-d104cf1" already present on machine

+30m  Normal  ScalingReplicaSet   deployment/bonsai-ternary-mig             Scaled down replica set bonsai-ternary-mig-55cbd8979b to 3 from 4
+```
+
+Availability after the scale-down:
+
+```
+NAME                 READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE
+bonsai-ternary-mig   3/3     3            3
+```
+
+The LiteLLM proxy continued serving requests on the remaining 3 backends without requiring a restart.
