Bezalel GPU Setup Instructions

Objective

Provision GPU for Bezalel's VPS (104.131.15.18) and wire to Bezalel Hermes.

RunPod Provisioning

  1. Provision Pod:
    Use same RunPod instructions as Timmy, but name it big-brain-bezalel

    • Ensure it has public IP or configure VPC peering with Bezalel VPS
  2. Deploy Model:

    ssh root@<POD_IP>
    ollama pull gemma4:latest
    ollama serve &
    
  3. Wire to Bezalel Hermes:

    ssh root@104.131.15.18
    # Edit /root/wizards/bezalel/home/config.yaml
    # Add:
    providers:
      big_brain:
        base_url: "http://<POD_IP>:11434/v1"
        model: "gemma4"
    
  4. Test from Bezalel:

    ssh root@104.131.15.18
    curl http://<POD_IP>:11434/v1/chat/completions \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '{"model":"gemma4","messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello from Bezalel"}]}'
    

Acceptance Criteria

  • GPU instance running Gemma 4
  • Endpoint accessible from Bezalel VPS
  • Bezalel Hermes can chat
  • Endpoint URL reported in comments

Deploying Gemma 4 Big Brain on RunPod for Bezalel

Step 1: Create RunPod Pod

Same as Timmy but name it big-brain-bezalel

Step 2: Deploy Ollama + Gemma

ssh root@<POD_IP>
ollama pull gemma3:27b-instruct-q8_0

Step 3: Wire to Bezalel Hermes

ssh root@104.131.15.18

# Edit Hermes config
nano /root/wizards/bezalel/home/config.yaml

# Add provider:
providers:
  big_brain:
    base_url: "http://<POD_IP>:11434/v1"
    model: "gemma3:27b-instruct-q8_0"

Vertex AI Alternative

Same endpoint as Timmy, but ensure endpoint is accessible from Bezalel VPS (104.131.15.18).

Acceptance Criteria

  • GPU instance provisioned
  • Gemma 4 deployed
  • Endpoint accessible from Bezalel VPS
  • Bezalel Hermes can use big_brain provider
  • Endpoint URL reported in comments

Deployment Status Update

RunPod: FAILED — No GPU Availability

  • API key authenticates successfully
  • RTX 4090 instances: None available across entire RunPod fleet
  • API returns: "There are no longer any instances available with the requested specifications"
  • Tried: SECURE cloud, COMMUNITY cloud — all returned no availability

Next Options:

Option 1: Try Different GPU on RunPod

  • A100-SXM4-80GB (80GB VRAM)
  • A6000 (48GB VRAM)
  • RTX 3090 (24GB VRAM)
  • H100 SXM5 (80GB VRAM, expensive)
# Try H100
curl -X POST https://api.runpod.io/graphql \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "mutation { podFindAndDeployOnDemand(input: { cloudType: SECURE, gpuCount: 1, gpuTypeId: \"NVIDIA H100 SXM5\", name: \"big-brain\", containerDiskInGb: 100, imageName: \"runpod/ollama:latest\", ports: \"11434/http\", volumeInGb: 50, volumeMountPath: \"/workspace\" }) { id desiredStatus } }"}'

Option 2: Vertex AI (Google Cloud)

Vertex AI REST Endpoint Format:

POST https://{location}-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/{project}/locations/{location}/publishers/google/models/{model}:generateContent

Authentication:

# Authenticate with the key at ~/.config/vertex/key
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=~/.config/vertex/key
gcloud auth activate-service-account --key-file=$GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS

Gemma 4 Model IDs:

  • gemma-3-27b-it — 27B parameter instruction-tuned (big brain)
  • gemma-3-12b-it — 12B parameter
  • gemma-3-4b-it — 4B parameter (fastest)

Example Request:

PROJECT_ID="your-project-id"
LOCATION="us-central1"

curl -X POST "https://$LOCATION-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/$PROJECT_ID/locations/$LOCATION/publishers/google/models/gemma-3-27b-it:streamGenerateContent?alt=sse" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $(gcloud auth print-access-token)" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"contents":[{"role":"user","parts":[{"text":"Hello from Timmy!"}]}]}'

Hermes Integration:
After getting Vertex working, add to Hermes config:

providers:
  big_brain:
    base_url: "https://us-central1-aiplatform.googleapis.com/v1/projects/YOUR_PROJECT/locations/us-central1"
    api_key: ""
    model: "google/gemma-3-27b-it"
    region: "us-central1"

Recommendation

  1. Try Vertex AI — likely available since it's managed by Google
  2. Wait for RunPod availability — check back in a few hours
  3. Alternative cloud providers — Lambda Labs, Vast.ai, FluidStack

🚀 RunPod Deployment Status — Bezalel

Pod Deployed: big-brain-bezalel

  • Pod ID: yxw29g3excyddq
  • Host ID: yxw29g3excyddq-64411cd0
  • GPU: NVIDIA L40S (48GB VRAM)
  • Image: ollama/ollama
  • Cost: $0.79/hr community cloud
  • Balance remaining: $175.77

Status: Pod is running. Ollama endpoint is still propagating DNS (typical 5-10 min for RunPod TCP tunnels).

Hermes Config: Updated /root/wizards/bezalel/home/.hermes/config.yaml with big_brain provider pointing to http://yxw29g3excyddq-64411cd0-11434.tcp.runpod.net:11434/v1.

Next autonomous actions:

  1. Poll endpoint until Ollama responds
  2. Pull gemma3:27b-instruct-q8_0 (~32GB)
  3. Test inference
  4. Report results here

— Bezalel, executing now

⚠️ Code Claw made no durable code changes on this pass.

Exit: 1
This likely means the issue is too broad, not code-fit, or needs human clarification.
