Continue? [y/N]`  \nType `y`.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 3 — Rebuild every stack from scratch\nNow, go to each of your module directories:\n\n#### 🧠 Cortex / Intake\n```bash\ncd ~/lyra-intake\ndocker compose build --no-cache\ndocker compose up -d\n```\n\n#### 🔁 Lyra-Core (Relay + Persona)\n```bash\ncd ~/lyra-core\ndocker compose build --no-cache\ndocker compose up -d\n```\n\n#### 🧬 NVGRAM\n```bash\ncd ~/nvgram\ndocker compose build --no-cache\ndocker compose up -d\n```\n\n*(You can also use a single top-level `docker-compose.yml` if you orchestrate them all together.)*\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 4 — Restart vLLM manually\nBecause vLLM runs in a standalone LXC, just stop and relaunch your container:\n\n```bash\ndocker stop vllm\ndocker rm vllm\nsudo /usr/local/bin/start-vllm.sh\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 5 — Verify health across the network\nTest each API endpoint:\n\n```bash\ncurl http://localhost:7077/health        # NVGRAM\ncurl http://localhost:7078/health        # Relay (Lyra-Core)\ncurl http://10.0.0.43:8000/v1/models     # vLLM LXC\ncurl http://localhost:8080/health        # Intake/Cortex\n```\n\nAll four should respond with valid JSON.\n\n---\n\nThat’s your full no-cache rebuild cycle — like hitting a reset button on the entire brain 🧠🧼.  \n\nWould you like me to show you a one-liner script (`lyra-reset.sh`) that automates these steps next time?"

It typically looks something like this:\n\n```js\n//  After getting a response from the LLM\nconst assistantReply = completion.choices[0].message.content;\n\n// Store to NVGRAM or memory\nawait mem.add(memoryPayload);\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 3 — Add the Intake post right after that\n\nInsert this snippet **immediately after the `mem.add()` line:**\n\n```js\n// 🔄 Forward exchange to Intake summarizer\nif (process.env.INTAKE_API_URL) {\n  const intakePayload = {\n    turns: [\n      { role: \"user\", content: userMessage },\n      { role: \"assistant\", content: assistantReply }\n    ]\n  };\n\n  try {\n    await fetch(process.env.INTAKE_API_URL, {\n      method: \"POST\",\n      headers: { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" },\n      body: JSON.stringify(intakePayload),\n    });\n    console.log(\"📨 Sent exchange to Intake summarizer\");\n  } catch (err) {\n    console.warn(\"⚠️ Intake post failed:\", err.message);\n  }\n}\n```\n\nThat’s all — it won’t interfere with normal operation.

Restart Relay:\n   ```bash\n   docker compose down && docker compose up -d\n   ```\n2. Watch logs:\n   ```bash\n   docker logs relay --tail 30\n   ```\n   You should see:\n   ```\n   📨 Sent exchange to Intake summarizer\n   ```\n3. On Cortex VM:\n   ```bash\n   docker logs lyra-intake --tail 20\n   ```\n   You’ll see new “🧩 Summaries generated” lines.\n\n---\n\nOnce that’s working, we can later expand the patch so Relay also *pulls summaries back* for prompt compression.  \n\nWould you like me to show you what a finished section of the file looks like (≈ 10 lines before and after the patch) so you can visually confirm where to place it?"

Now we can be precise.  \n\nHere’s the **exact patch** for adding Intake forwarding to your Relay.  \n\n---\n\n### 🩹 **Patch location**\n\nScroll to this section in your file (around line 180-190):\n\n```js\nconst data = await fetchJSON(llmUrl, {\n  method: \"POST\",\n  headers: llmHeaders,\n  body: JSON.stringify(llmBody),\n});\n```\n\nImmediately **after that block**, and **before** the `if (isOllama)` check, insert this:\n\n```js\n// 🔄 Forward user↔assistant exchange to Intake summarizer\nif (process.env.INTAKE_API_URL) {\n  try {\n    // Extract assistant reply text\n    const assistantReply = isOllama\n      ? data?.message?.content\n      : data?.choices?.[0]?.message?.content;\n\n    const intakePayload = {\n      turns: [\n        { role: \"user\", content: lastUserMsg },\n        { role: \"assistant\", content: assistantReply || \"\" }\n      ]\n    };\n\n    await fetch(process.env.INTAKE_API_URL, {\n      method: \"POST\",\n      headers: { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" },\n      body: JSON.stringify(intakePayload),\n    });\n\n    console.log(\"📨 Sent exchange to Intake summarizer\");\n  } catch (err) {\n    console.warn(\"⚠️ Intake post failed:\", err.message);\n  }\n}\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🩹 **Why here**\n\n- It runs **after** the LLM reply is received → so both user + assistant messages are available.  \n- It runs **before** the response is sent to the client → so logs remain in order.  \n- It won’t break either OpenAI or Ollama paths.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **After-patch excerpt**\n\nYou’ll end up with:\n\n```js\nconst data = await fetchJSON(llmUrl, {\n  method: \"POST\",\n  headers: llmHeaders,\n  body: JSON.stringify(llmBody),\n});\n\n// 🔄 Forward user↔assistant exchange to Intake summarizer\nif (process.env.INTAKE_API_URL) {\n  try {\n    const assistantReply = isOllama\n      ? data?.message?.content\n      : data?.choices?.[0]?.message?.content;\n    const intakePayload = {\n      turns: [\n        { role: \"user\", content: lastUserMsg },\n        { role: \"assistant\", content: assistantReply || \"\" }\n      ]\n    };\n    await fetch(process.env.INTAKE_API_URL, {\n      method: \"POST\",\n      headers: { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" },\n      body: JSON.stringify(intakePayload),\n    });\n    console.log(\"📨 Sent exchange to Intake summarizer\");\n  } catch (err) {\n    console.warn(\"⚠️ Intake post failed:\", err.message);\n  }\n}\n\nif (isOllama) {\n  res.json({\n    id: \"ollama-\" + Date.now(),\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧪 Test steps\n\n1. Save the file.  \n2. Rebuild and restart Core:\n   ```bash\n   docker compose down && docker compose up -d\n   ```\n3. Send a normal message to Relay.  \n4. Check:\n   ```bash\n   docker logs relay --tail 30\n   docker logs lyra-intake --tail 20\n   ```\n   You should see `📨 Sent exchange to Intake summarizer` in Relay  \n   and new `🧩 Summaries generated:` entries in Intake.\n\n---\n\nOnce that’s verified, we can later add **Cortex reflection** to receive summaries back — but this patch gets the pipeline flowing downstream first."

      "content": "Perfect observations — this is exactly the kind of behavior you’d spot when the architecture’s *connected but not yet decoupled.*  \n\nLet’s break it down piece by piece so you see **why** it’s happening and how to fix both.\n\n---\n\n## 🧩 1. Why Relay “waits” for Intake\n\nRight now, your Intake `fetch()` call in `server.js` is using `await`:\n\n```js\nawait fetch(process.env.INTAKE_API_URL, { ... })\n```\n\nThat means Relay **blocks** the entire request until Intake finishes summarizing (which can take a few seconds).  \nIt’s synchronous — waiting for a 200 OK before sending the chat response back to the user.\n\n### ✅ Fix: make it fire-and-forget\nChange it to a detached, non-blocking call:\n\n```js\n// 🔄 Fire-and-forget Intake call\nif (process.env.INTAKE_API_URL) {\n  (async () => {\n    try {\n      const assistantReply = isOllama\n        ? data?.message?.content\n        : data?.choices?.[0]?.message?.content;\n\n      const intakePayload = {\n        turns: [\n          { role: \"user\", content: lastUserMsg },\n          { role: \"assistant\", content: assistantReply || \"\" }\n        ]\n      };\n\n      fetch(process.env.INTAKE_API_URL, {\n        method: \"POST\",\n        headers: { \"Content-Type\": \"application/json\" },\n        body: JSON.stringify(intakePayload),\n      })\n      .then(r => console.log(\"📨 Intake responded:\", r.status))\n      .catch(e => console.warn(\"⚠️ Intake async error:\", e.message));\n    } catch (err) {\n      console.warn(\"⚠️ Intake post failed:\", err.message);\n    }\n  })(); // ← don’t await this\n}\n```\n\nThat small `(async () => { ... })()` wrapper launches the fetch in the background and **does not delay Relay’s main response**.  \n\n---\n\n## 🧠 2. Why NVGRAM looks inactive\n\nThis part of your log:\n```\nmem.add took 0ms\nmem.search took 0ms\n```\nmeans those functions returned immediately — no errors, but no actual network I/O either.\n\nCheck your `.env` in Relay again. Make sure these are set correctly and reachable:\n\n```bash\nNVGRAM_API=http://10.0.0.40:7077\nMEM0_API_KEY=your-secret-key\n```\n\nThen verify from inside the Relay container:\n\n```bash\ndocker exec -it relay curl -s http://10.0.0.40:7077/health\n```\n\n✅ Expected JSON:  \n```json\n{\"ok\":true}\n```\n\nIf that fails, NVGRAM just isn’t reachable from the Relay VM yet.  \nFixing that will restore real memory add/search latency.\n\n---\n\n## 🧭 3. Persona 404\nHarmless — we covered this one. Either remove `PERSONA_URL` from your `.env` or spin up a tiny stub endpoint later.\n\n---\n\n## 🔧 Summary of what to do\n\n| Task | What to change | Result |\n|------|----------------|--------|\n| **Relay blocking** | Remove `await` from the Intake `fetch` call | Relay responds instantly while Intake summarizes in the background |\n| **NVGRAM inactivity** | Verify `NVGRAM_API` + `MEM0_API_KEY` and connectivity | Restores actual memory add/search ops |\n| **Persona 404** | Unset or fix `PERSONA_URL` | Clean logs |\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to show you exactly how that async `fetch()` patch fits into your current `server.js` (i.e., 10 lines of context so you can paste it directly)?"

      "content": "This looks really good overall — it’s clean, consistent, and it’ll work as intended.  \nJust a couple **small notes and polish fixes** to make it perfect and avoid subtle issues later:  \n\n---\n\n### ✅ **What’s correct and solid**\n- `log_to_file()` is well-written — safe path creation, UTF-8, timestamps.  \n- You added the call after each summary correctly.  \n- Continuity loop logic (30 → 45 → 60 → 75 …) works fine.  \n- Logging prints will clearly show milestone triggers in container output.  \n- File output goes to `/app/logs/summaries.log`, which is persistent inside the container volume.  \n\n---\n\n### ⚠️ **Two small fixes**\n\n1. **Meta-summary should use its own prompt text, not reuse `summarize(list(BUFFER)[-15:], milestone)`**\n\n   Right now you create a nice `meta_prompt` but never pass it to the LLM — you’re calling `summarize(...)` again with the last 15 exchanges, which ignores that new text.  \n   Instead, call `query_llm(meta_prompt)` directly so it uses your combined continuity text.\n\n   Replace:\n   ```python\n   meta_summary = summarize(list(BUFFER)[-15:], milestone)  # uses same summarize() call\n   ```\n   with:\n   ```python\n   meta_summary = f\"[L∞ Ongoing Continuity Report]: {query_llm(meta_prompt)}\"\n   ```\n\n   That keeps it consistent with the rest of your summarization style.\n\n---\n\n2. **You might want to bump the buffer size** since you’re now summarizing up to 75+ exchanges.  \n   Right now it’s:\n   ```python\n   BUFFER = deque(maxlen=25)\n   ```\n   At least set:\n   ```python\n   BUFFER = deque(maxlen=100)\n   ```\n   so it doesn’t overwrite exchanges before a milestone summary fires.\n\n---\n\n### 💡 **Optional (nice-to-have)**\nIf you want to separate logs by day:\n```python\nfilename = os.path.join(LOG_DIR, f\"summaries_{datetime.now():%Y-%m-%d}.log\")\n```\nso each day’s summaries go in their own file.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **Final check summary**\n\n✔️ Functional hierarchy (L1–L30, then L45, L60, L75…)  \n✔️ On-disk logs with timestamps  \n✔️ Safe error handling in `query_llm`  \n✔️ Ready for persistence and later Cortex reflection  \n\n---\n\nIf you’d like, I can send you the fully corrected and ready-to-paste version (with the two fixes applied and daily log rotation).  \nWant me to do that?"

Rebuild, and everything will automatically reconnect.  \n\nWould you like me to show what the **Compose will look like once NVGRAM is added back in**, so you can future-proof it now?"

      "content": "You’re totally right — we’ve rebuilt and refactored this stack so many times that it’s easy to lose track.  \nLet’s get you a **fresh, clear startup overview for CT201 (the GPU brain)** based on how it’s currently wired.  \n\n---\n\n## 🧩 CT201 Startup Overview (vLLM + ROCm)\n\nHere’s the current correct setup based on everything you’ve shown recently:\n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ **1. ROCm loads automatically (Proxmox Host)**\n**On the Proxmox host**, the MI50 GPU is passed through into CT201.  \nAt boot:\n- `amdgpu` module loads  \n- `/dev/kfd` and `/dev/dri` get mapped into CT201 (via `lxc.cgroup2.devices.allow` and `mount.entry` rules)\n\nIf you ever reboot Proxmox, **you don’t need to manually modprobe** unless the GPU doesn’t show up in:\n```bash\nlsmod | grep amdgpu\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🚀 **2. Start CT201 container**\nOnce ROCm devices exist, start CT201:\n```bash\npct start 201\n```\n\nYou can then shell into it:\n```bash\npct exec 201 -- bash\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 **3. Inside CT201 (the brain container)**\n\nYou have **two possible ways** to run the model backend.\n\n| Purpose | Backend | Launch Command | Port | Used by |\n|----------|----------|----------------|-------|----------|\n| 🧩 vLLM (fast inference) | Docker container | `docker run ... nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 ...` | `8000` | **Intake + Cortex** |\n| 🔬 PyTorch Lyra API | Native (venv) | `bash /root/start_lyra.sh` | `7079` | optional testing, fallback |\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 **4. The one you’re actually using now**\nYou’re currently using **vLLM** as your active inference server — confirmed from this line in your `.env`:\n\n```\nSUMMARY_API_URL=http://10.0.0.43:8000/v1/completions\n```\n\n✅ That means:  \n- You **do NOT** need to run `/root/start_lyra.sh`.  \n- You **DO** need to make sure your vLLM Docker container is running.\n\n---\n\n### 🧱 **5. Start vLLM**\nRun this inside CT201:\n```bash\ndocker run -it --rm \\\n  --shm-size=4g \\\n  --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri \\\n  --group-add video \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model \\\n  nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 \\\n  vllm serve /model\n```\n\nYou should see:\n```\nINFO:     Uvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000\n```\n\n---\n\n### ✅ **6. Verify**\nFrom Cortex VM (10.0.0.41):\n```bash\ncurl http://10.0.0.43:8000/v1/models\n```\n\nIf you get a JSON model list back — you’re good.\n\n---\n\n### 🌅 **7. (Optional) Auto-start vLLM at boot**\nIf you want this to start on container boot, I can give you a `systemd` unit like:\n```\n/etc/systemd/system/lyra-vllm.service\n```\nthat runs that docker command automatically once ROCm initializes.\n\n---\n\n### TL;DR — your startup sequence right now:\n```bash\n# On Proxmox host:\npct start 201\n\n# Inside CT201:\ndocker run -it --rm \\\n  --shm-size=4g \\\n  --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri \\\n  --group-add video \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model \\\n  nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 \\\n  vllm serve /model\n```\n\nThen Intake + Cortex will talk to it automatically via `http://10.0.0.43:8000`.\n\n---\n\nWould you like me to rebuild the **auto-start script** so you can just type `bash /root/start_lyra.sh` and it will:\n1. Wait for ROCm  \n2. Check if vLLM is already running  \n3. Launch it automatically if not  \n4. Skip the PyTorch stuff entirely (since you don’t use that anymore)?"

      "content": "Yep — that error means **vLLM can’t detect your ROCm GPU** inside the container.  \nThe good news: the fix is simple once we check a few environment variables and Docker flags.  \n\nLet’s go line-by-line and get it back up.  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 1. Verify ROCm visibility inside CT201\n\nRun:\n```bash\n/opt/rocm/bin/rocminfo | grep -A3 'Agent'\n```\nand:\n```bash\nls /dev/kfd /dev/dri\ngroups\n```\n\nYou should see something like:\n```\n/dev/kfd\n/dev/dri/card0  renderD128\nvideo\n```\n\nIf `/dev/kfd` or `/dev/dri` are missing, Proxmox didn’t pass them through — stop here and re-add these to `/etc/pve/lxc/201.conf`:\n\n```\nlxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 226:* rwm\nlxc.cgroup2.devices.allow: c 510:0 rwm\nlxc.mount.entry: /dev/kfd dev/kfd none bind,optional,create=file\nlxc.mount.entry: /dev/dri dev/dri none bind,optional,create=dir\n```\n\nThen:\n```bash\npct stop 201 && pct start 201\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 2. Check ROCm works *inside* CT201\n\nRun:\n```bash\n/opt/rocm/bin/rocm-smi\n```\nYou should see your MI50 listed (gfx906).  \nIf this fails, ROCm isn’t active in the container yet.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 3. Add ROCm env vars to your Docker run\n\nvLLM doesn’t automatically detect ROCm, so you have to *force it* with environment variables.  \nHere’s the working run command for the MI50 (gfx906):\n\n```bash\ndocker run -it --rm \\\n  --shm-size=4g \\\n  --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri \\\n  --group-add video \\\n  -e HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 \\\n  -e HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=9.0.6 \\\n  -e VLLM_USE_ROCM=1 \\\n  -e VLLM_LOGGING_LEVEL=INFO \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model \\\n  nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 \\\n  vllm serve /model\n```\n\n**Key flags explained**\n- `HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0` → expose first GPU  \n- `HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=9.0.6` → forces correct GFX ID (MI50 = gfx906)  \n- `VLLM_USE_ROCM=1` → tells vLLM to initialize ROCm backend  \n- `VLLM_LOGGING_LEVEL=INFO` → optional, keeps logs readable  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 4. Test it\nYou should now see:\n```\nINFO: Detected AMD GPU: gfx906\nINFO: Using ROCm backend\nUvicorn running on http://0.0.0.0:8000\n```\n\nThen test from Cortex:\n```bash\ncurl http://10.0.0.43:8000/v1/models\n```\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Step 5. (Optional) Persist it with a script\nIf that works, edit your `/root/start_lyra.sh` so the vLLM section looks like:\n\n```bash\n# Start vLLM container\necho \"Starting vLLM ROCm server...\" >> $LOGFILE\ndocker run -d \\\n  --name vllm-gfx906 \\\n  --shm-size=4g \\\n  --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri \\\n  --group-add video \\\n  -e HIP_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 \\\n  -e HSA_OVERRIDE_GFX_VERSION=9.0.6 \\\n  -e VLLM_USE_ROCM=1 \\\n  -e VLLM_LOGGING_LEVEL=INFO \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model \\\n  nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 \\\n  vllm serve /model\n```\n\nThen every boot:\n```bash\nbash /root/start_lyra.sh\n```\nwill wait for ROCm, start the fan controller, and bring up vLLM automatically.\n\n---\n\nTry running that **updated docker command** first — if it still fails, paste the full output (especially the lines around `INFO` or `ERROR`) and we’ll tune the ROCm flags."

      "content": "Excellent question — yes, that actually **does matter**, but not for ROCm itself — only for *where* the tools and dependencies live.  \n\nLet’s break it down clearly:  \n\n---\n\n### 🧩 ROCm’s layers\n\n| Layer | Where it lives | Purpose |\n|-------|----------------|----------|\n| **Kernel driver + device nodes** | `/dev/kfd`, `/dev/dri` (from Proxmox host) | lets your container talk to GPU hardware |\n| **ROCm userland tools (rocminfo, rocm-smi)** | `/opt/rocm/` (system-wide) | detects GPUs, reports temps, initializes runtime |\n| **Python packages (PyTorch ROCm build, vLLM, etc.)** | inside your venv (`/root/torch-venv`) | does ML workloads using those ROCm libraries |\n\nSo your **virtual environment only affects Python-level stuff** —  \nthe ROCm *drivers and tools* are system-level and **must** exist outside the venv.  \n\n---\n\n### ⚙️ What this means for you\n\n✅ You **can absolutely keep using your venv** for PyTorch or the API.  \nThe ROCm tools (`rocminfo`, `rocm-smi`) just need to be installed globally inside CT201 — they don’t care about the venv.\n\nOnce they’re installed at `/opt/rocm/bin`, your vLLM Docker container (or PyTorch inside the venv) will find them through `/opt/rocm/lib`.\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 TL;DR\n\n- Keep your **venv** for Python stuff (`/root/torch-venv`).  \n- Install ROCm tools **system-wide** (with `apt install rocm-smi-bin`).  \n- They’ll coexist perfectly — vLLM and PyTorch both look for `/opt/rocm` by default.\n\n---\n\nSo yes — go ahead and install the tools in CT201 even though you use a venv.  \nOnce that’s done, we’ll recheck `rocminfo` and `rocm-smi` before starting vLLM.  \n\nWould you like me to give you the **exact ROCm repo setup** (for your version) so `apt install rocm-smi-bin` works immediately?"

Reboot the host:\n   ```bash\n   reboot\n   ```\n2. After ~2 min check from the host:\n   ```bash\n   pct list\n   ```\n   → CT201 should be **running**.  \n3. Inside CT201:\n   ```bash\n   docker ps\n   ```\n   → `vllm-gfx906`, `lyra-cortex`, and `lyra-intake` should all be **up**.\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 Summary of what happens automatically\n\n| Boot Step | Component Started | Purpose |\n|------------|------------------|----------|\n| Proxmox boot | `amdgpu` kernel driver | GPU ready |\n| +20 s | CT201 container | LXC brain online |\n| Inside CT201 boot | `lyra-vllm.service` | starts vLLM |\n| After vLLM ready | `lyra-core.service` | launches Cortex + Intake Compose stack |\n\n---\n\nIf you’d like, I can generate a quick verification command sequence (`systemctl status ...` + `curl` checks) to confirm each layer after your next reboot — want that too?"

(Old file = deprecated.)  \n- All services (vLLM → Cortex → Intake) now boot automatically on power-on — CT201 is officially a self-contained **Lyra brain node**.  \n- Intake’s `summaries.log` provides the first persistent trace of Lyra’s evolving context — the start of temporal awareness.  \n\n---\n\n## **Pipeline Stability: ~85%**\n\n🟢 Interaction: stable  \n🟢 Summarization: continuous  \n🟡 Memory: stubbed  \n🟡 Reflection: pending  \n⚪ Persona: fallback  \n\n> **Milestone:** First fully autonomous, GPU-accelerated, auto-booting Lyra cognitive loop.  \n> **Next objective:** reconnect long-term memory and self-reflection — “make her remember again.”  \n\n---\n\nWould you like me to generate a short **follow-up changelog entry** (Keep a Changelog format) to pair with this log for your `/CHANGELOG.md`?"

      "content": "Excellent question — and yeah, that “`/model`” you’re seeing is **just the mount name you chose when you launched vLLM**, not the actual model identifier.  \n\nLet’s break it down:\n\n---\n\n### 🧩 Why `/model` Appears\nWhen you run:\n```bash\ndocker run -it --rm \\\n  --shm-size=4g \\\n  --device=/dev/kfd --device=/dev/dri \\\n  --group-add video \\\n  -p 8000:8000 \\\n  -v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model \\\n  nalanzeyu/vllm-gfx906 \\\n  vllm serve /model\n```\n\nThat `-v /mnt/data/models/mythomax:/model` means:\n- On the **host**, the model files live at `/mnt/data/models/mythomax`\n- Inside the **container**, they appear at `/model`\n\nSo vLLM only sees a folder called `/model` — that’s why `/v1/models` lists it that way.  \nIt’s not the “name” of your model, it’s the *path* being served.\n\n---\n\n### 🧠 How vLLM Registers Model Names\nWhen vLLM starts, it loads whatever’s in that folder and exposes the name of the **model checkpoint** or **HF identifier** that it finds.\n\nIf your folder looks like:\n```\n/mnt/data/models/mythomax/\n├── config.json\n├── tokenizer.json\n├── model.safetensors\n└── ...\n```\nthen vLLM will just call it `/model` (path-based).  \nBut if you downloaded it via Hugging Face (like `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2`), it will actually register that full name.\n\n---\n\n### ✅ Check Which Models Are Loaded\nRun this inside the host or CT201:\n\n```bash\ncurl http://localhost:8000/v1/models | jq\n```\n\nYou’ll get output like:\n```json\n{\n  \"object\": \"list\",\n  \"data\": [\n    {\n      \"id\": \"/model\",\n      \"object\": \"model\",\n      \"created\": 1729900000,\n      \"owned_by\": \"vllm\",\n      \"root\": \"/model\",\n      \"permission\": []\n    }\n  ]\n}\n```\n\nIf it just says `/model`, that means:\n- vLLM was started with a **directory**, not a named Hugging Face model.\n- It doesn’t know the internal model ID — only the local path.\n\n---\n\n### 🛠️ You Have Two Options\n\n#### **Option 1 — Keep using `/model`**\nTotally fine for local setups.\nYou can reference it in your `.env` like:\n```\nSUMMARY_MODEL_NAME=/model\nLLM_MODEL=/model\n```\nWorks the same — just slightly generic.\n\n#### **Option 2 — Give it a Real Name**\nWhen launching, point vLLM to a named model instead of a folder:\n\n```bash\nvllm serve mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2\n```\nor\n```bash\nvllm serve \"teknium/MythoMax-L2-13b\"\n```\n\nIf you’re using local storage:\n```bash\nvllm serve /model --model-id teknium/MythoMax-L2-13b\n```\nThis will register it as `teknium/MythoMax-L2-13b` in the `/v1/models` output, even though it’s local.\n\n---\n\n### 🔍 TL;DR\n\n| Behavior | Cause | Fix |\n|-----------|--------|------|\n| Shows `/model` | You mounted the folder as `/model` | Fine, but you can rename |\n| Shows real name (e.g. `mistralai/Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2`) | You launched using HF repo name | Use `vllm serve <model_name>` or `--model-id` |\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can show you how to **rename your current `/model` mount** so vLLM reports it as `\"teknium/MythoMax-L2-13b\"` — without redownloading or moving files.  \nWould you like that one-line change?"
