LiquidAI now publishes official DSpark draft sidecars for its 2.6B target. Pair Q4 and Q8 targets with matching draft choices so LocalAI can use speculative decoding across different memory budgets.

Add the 2B and 4B distilled models alongside the 9B model. Their compact GGUF builds make the Qwen3.8 reasoning distill practical on smaller hosts.

"stale model config revision" reported only that two hashes differed.
It named neither, so an operator could not tell an edited configuration
from a revision that is not reproducible for one unchanged file, and the
failing value appears in no table.

The error now carries the revision the request brought and the one the
controller holds. It still wraps ErrStaleModelConfigRevision, so callers
that classify the error keep working.

A request that carries a file stages it to the worker, which writes it
under its staging directory. Nothing removed it afterwards. The frontend
expires ephemeral keys from object storage, but that sweep never covered
a worker's local disk, so every image, audio clip and video a worker
ever served stayed on it.

One worker had accumulated 175 request directories over three months.
The volume reached 100 percent, and from that point every backend start
failed because the process manager could not create a state directory.

The worker now sweeps its ephemeral staging directory on a timer and
once at startup, so files left by a crash are reclaimed too. Staged
model files live beside that directory and are not touched.

process.New applies its options and discards the error they return. When
WithTemporaryStateDir could not create a directory, StateDir stayed
empty and every later option went unapplied, so the failure surfaced
from Run as "mkdir : no such file or directory" naming no path.

That message cost a full day of diagnosis on a worker whose volume was
full: the real errno was ENOSPC and nothing reported it.

The loader now creates the directory itself and returns the underlying
error with the path attached.

Picks up "surface option errors instead of discarding them". New records
the error from applying its options and Run returns it, so a process
whose state directory cannot be created reports the real cause instead
of failing later inside os.MkdirAll("") with an empty path.

LocalAI already resolves that directory itself, so this covers the other
process.New call sites rather than changing behaviour on the backend
start path.

A node's status comes from its HTTP heartbeat. Backend installs travel
over NATS. The two are independent, so a worker that dies stops
answering on the bus at once but stays healthy in the database until its
heartbeat ages out. Inside that window the scheduler picked a node it
could not reach, and the request failed with "no responders available"
rather than moving to a node that was up.

The scheduler now probes the node it selected and, when nothing answers,
marks it unhealthy and selects again. The demotion is what makes the
retry terminate: the next selection reads only healthy nodes. It also
tells the other frontends what this one learned, so the cluster does not
rediscover a dead worker one failed request at a time.

Only nats.ErrNoResponders counts as absent. A worker that answers slowly
stays eligible, because dropping it would cost capacity that is really
there. The probe reuses the models.running subject: a new subject would
go unanswered by workers that have not been upgraded, and every one of
them would then look dead.

A replica row in staging or loading holds its slot, because slot
allocation counts every state except unloading. Nothing ever reclaimed
such a row: every reconciler pass and the router's eviction query filter
state = "loaded", and the per-model probe skips rows without an address,
which is exactly what a row that never finished loading has.

So a worker that dropped out mid-transfer left a row that pinned the
only replica slot for that model on that node. Scheduling then found no
free slot and eviction found nothing it was allowed to evict, and the
request failed with "no replica slot on <node> and eviction failed: all
models busy". The state persisted until an operator intervened.

The reconciler now reclaims a row stuck before serving when no load job
is driving it. Ownership is decided by the job's LastProgress heartbeat,
not by elapsed time: staging a large checkpoint legitimately runs for a
long while without touching the replica row, so a deadline would either
be a model-size cliff or reclaim a healthy transfer. That heartbeat is
the same signal job takeover already trusts. Any error reading the job
leaves the slot held, because holding one for another pass costs a
scheduling opportunity while a wrong reclaim restarts a multi-gigabyte
transfer.

The controller pins a model's replicas to a stored revision and rejects
any request carrying a different one. Nothing ever re-derived that value
from the configuration on disk: it moved only on an edit, a gallery
install, or a peer's change broadcast. An inference request may only
establish a revision, never replace one.

So any other way for the two to diverge left the model permanently
unroutable. A configuration edited while a frontend was down lands
there, and so does a change in what the revision is computed over: an
upgrade that alters the hashed form leaves every stored revision
describing a configuration that no longer exists. The only recovery was
deleting the row by hand, which is not something a cluster should need.

Each frontend now reconciles the stored revisions against the loaded
configurations at startup and republishes the ones that disagree. Only
those: republishing quarantines every replica loaded under the old
revision, so doing it for a model that did not drift would unload a
healthy replica for nothing. A model with no stored revision has never
been served and is left for its first request to establish.
