xMESH portability contract

Singularity Node must serve xMESH through the same /v1/systemone request and response contract on every supported platform.

Runtime

  • Minimum llama.cpp: b11719 (5aeac37a35b44fde4bdffaec9159f2fcb253b622).
  • Context: 2,048 tokens per request.
  • Physical batch: 2,048 tokens. The llama.cpp default of 512 rejects normal multi-field requests.
  • Default concurrency: one slot. Higher concurrency requires a platform-specific canary.
  • GPU offload (-ngl 99) on accelerators that passed frozen-suite decision parity against CPU: Apple Metal (959/960 decisions, one near-tie) and NVIDIA through the Vulkan build (960/960). Singularity Node v1.10.4+ selects this itself. Every other setup runs on CPU (-ngl 0). Evidence: ACCELERATOR_PARITY.json.
  • System memory: 8 GB minimum; 16 GB recommended.

Q8 passes the full Metal decision-parity suite but crashes in llama.cpp b11719 during CPU initialization. Q4_K_M loads but changes 16 of 960 frozen decisions, so it is not a release artifact.

Release matrix

Surface Target Artifact Status
Desktop macOS Apple silicon BF16 Full Metal offload: 959/960 frozen-suite decisions match CPU; packaged-app Run Locally and Grid serving canaries passed (Desktop 1.10.7)
Desktop / Node Windows x64 CPU BF16 Production Vulkan distribution with -ngl 0 passed 9/9 decisions
Node CLI Linux x64 CPU BF16 Production Vulkan distribution with -ngl 0 passed 9/9 decisions on Ubuntu 24.04
Node CLI Linux ARM64 CPU BF16 CPU load and real decision canary passed in Ubuntu 24.04 ARM64
Node CLI Linux x64 NVIDIA GPU BF16 Production Vulkan distribution with -ngl 99 on an RTX A4000: 960/960 frozen-suite decisions match CPU, 0.31 s median per request

The desktop release workflow does not currently publish Linux or Intel Mac packages. The Node CLI covers Linux; Intel Mac desktop support requires a separate release target.

The official Linux llama.cpp archive links libgomp.so.1. Minimal Ubuntu images must install the standard libgomp1 package before sgl setup; normal desktop/server distributions often already include it. The provisioner must surface this exact prerequisite when the staged binary fails its launch check.

Quality gates

  • Frozen x402 export parity: 80 cases and 960 decisions.
  • Official typed-decisions boundary suite: 400 cases and 2,000 decisions.
  • Option-order robustness: 600 choice decisions.
  • Runtime integrity: exact artifact and llama.cpp archive hashes.
  • Platform canary: load, health, real /v1/systemone request, expected answer, and clean shutdown.
