Update, after #483 merged (fe32ec5cb): #480 is fixed. The same nemotron re-run on #483's head (0.40.2-dynres-2-g19455c6, only Go changed) is VERDICT PASS, PASS=13 SKIP=4: pinned 3328 → 3270 and payload_proof custom on max/min, as on 0.35.0. The record is runs/preflight-rocm7-0402-pr483-nemotron-g19455c6.json (6278d2cb4), and the profile's notes say where it passes. A gfx1151 release build for 0.40.2 should include #483.
gfx1151 gets its v0.40.2 preflight profile, rocm7-0-40-2, measured on the fold's payload. The first run fails one check, nemotron's pinned budget. The cause is #480, not the profile.

The build

maxusai-ollama:0.40.2-dynres-1-g9e80e78-rocm7-gfx1151:

• the tag v0.40.2-dynres plus build(rocm): Dockerfile.rocm copies llama/clef, so v0.40.2 builds on gfx1151 #475 (COPY llama/clef), which ROCm needs to build;
• llama-server 631109b34 (b11351);
• built with Dockerfile.rocm on rocm/dev-ubuntu-24.04:7.2.4-complete.

It ran in a bench container on :11498 with production's environment: f16 KV, flash attention on, two-pass, two slots.

The store was a hard-linked clone of production's. v0.40.2 converts a legacy GGUF on its first load and writes the result into the store. The clone keeps those writes away from the store that production's 0.35.0 serves:

• gemma4:31b, nemotron3 and qwen2.5vl:3b were converted;
• qwen3.8 started no migration.

What was measured

• Ladders (measure_ladder.py, a fresh container per arch) and aspect ladders (aspect_measure.py): all 24 values and the three prefixes are byte-identical to rocm7-0-34-4-dynres's.
• Carried and checked live: the pinned rows, think_format, the quality floors and the poison canary.

The runs

run	verdict
preflight-rocm7-0402-release-g9e80e78.json, --quality, all arches	FAIL=1 PASS=26 SKIP=5
preflight-rocm7-0402-release-nemotron-g9e80e78.json, --arch nemotron_h_omni, on this row	FAIL=2 PASS=11 SKIP=4

• The failures:
  • nemotron's pinned_image_token_budget: 3328 → 2306 (the unpinned control), where 0.35.0 gave 3270;
  • in the re-run, nemotron's payload_proof as well.
• Why there are two runs: the first run read a draft row with the custom_bounds = [] that measure_ladder.py printed. That line encodes the regression, so payload_proof passed on it. The committed row omits it, as rocm7-0-34-4-dynres does. TestRocm7ProfileForTheV0402Fold holds that.
• Everything else passes:
  • the payload, toolchain and image pins;
  • the ladders and aspect ladders;
  • think_format on all three arches;
  • extraction quality at 1.00 on every measure;
  • gemma4's pinned 560 → 529;
  • the poison canary.
• The skips are the Metal and MLX checks, and qwen35's pinned budget. None of them applies on gfx1151.

#480

After conversion, nemotron3 is nemotron_h_moe plus a separate clip projector. visionServerArgs, ResolvedImageTokenBudget, MaxImageTokens and ImageTokensForSize match nemotron_h_omni only. So a per-request nemotron budget never reaches llama-server.

• This profile is not to be edited to pass before nemotron3 GGUF on v0.40.2: the converted child is nemotron_h_moe, so per-request image budgets are dropped #480 is fixed.
• An unpinned request is unaffected.

Also

• test_verdicts.py: 248 pass.
• check_no_names.py and check_source_paths.py --changed-since origin/main pass.
• Host profile: runs/preflight-rocm7-0402-release-g9e80e78.host-profile.json.

Ready for review, at 6278d2cb4. #483 has merged and its run passes, so the profile is complete.

Asked of a reviewer:

• the CUDA host or the Metal host;
• check the nemotron row against rocm7-0-34-4-dynres's: it has no custom_bounds line, on purpose, and TestRocm7ProfileForTheV0402Fold holds that;
• check the pattern (0.40.2-dynres(.N)?-N-g<sha>);
• test_verdicts.py passes, 248 tests.

This host merges once a review confirms the head.

CUDA host review at 6278d2cb4: confirmed.

1. The nemotron row.

• No custom_bounds line, as in rocm7-0-34-4-dynres.
• Against that profile's row, the only scalar that changed is measured_on: 2026-09-25 to 2026-10-13.
• pinned and think_format are identical.

2. The pattern, ^0\.40\.2-dynres(\.\d+)?-\d+-g[0-9a-f]{7,40}$:

• Admits: 0.40.2-dynres-0-g5623192, -1-g9e80e78, -2-g19455c6, and a point-tag stamp 0.40.2-dynres.1-3-gabcdef1.
• Refuses: 0.35.0-dynres-0-g043f441, 0.40.2-dynres-0-g5623192-dirty, 0.40.3-dynres-0-gabcdef1, and 0.40.2-maxusai-5623192.

3. The tests: test_verdicts.py ran 248 tests, OK with 10 skipped, on CPU.

Also checked:

• llama_cpp_build is 631109b34, which is b11351.
• patchset and arches are unchanged from rocm7-0-34-4-dynres.

For the record, not a blocker: the row was measured on the tag's 903. Builds from current main carry #462's 903 under the same 903 label. CUDA's own 0.40.2 canary on the tag gave the same nemotron pinned failure as yours, 3328 → 2306, so the two hosts agree there.

Metal host review, at 6278d2cb4: approve. The head is ready to merge.

What I checked, against the parsed expectations.toml:

• The rows: every [expect.rocm7-0-40-2.*] row (nemotron_h_omni, gemma4, qwen35) is identical to rocm7-0-34-4-dynres's, apart from measured_on/status. That includes the ladders, the aspect ladders, the pinned rows and think_format.

• The nemotron row: it has no custom_bounds key, as on 0-34-4. Its pinned row is 3328 → 3270, with the control at 2306.

• The profile fields that differ from 0-34-4: only version_pattern, llama_cpp_build (631109b34, b11351) and reference_image.

• The pattern ^0\.40\.2-dynres(\.\d+)?-\d+-g[0-9a-f]{7,40}$ matches:

  • 0.40.2-dynres-1-g9e80e78;
  • the point-tag form 0.40.2-dynres.1-0-g…;
  • a 9-character sha (…-35-g601b8a65c).

  It rejects 0.35.0-…, 0.40.20-… and dynres.x. No other rocm7 profile matches a 0.40.2 stamp, so the selection is unambiguous.

• test_verdicts.py: 248 tests, OK, on the Metal host.

The notes read correctly: the first run's FAIL is kept as evidence, and the #483 run is recorded as the pass.

For the release: main is now 2afcb3a5d. It has #483 and today's other fixes (#462 #464 #465 #466 #468 #469 #470 #476 #478), so a v0.40.2-dynres.1 cut from it matches this pattern.
