Alexander Whitestone aa0e76c1ab feat: Add Hermes profile for Gemma 4 + TurboQuant (Issue #28)
- Add gemma4-turboquant.yaml profile for Hermes
- Configure local llama.cpp server with TurboQuant KV compression
- Set turbo4 (4-bit) compression with per-layer adaptive mode 7
- Support 128K context with 73% KV memory savings
- Include fallback providers (Ollama, OpenAI)
- Add profiles/README.md with setup and usage instructions
- Document performance expectations and troubleshooting

Closes #28

deployment: |
1. Ensure llama.cpp fork with TurboQuant is built:
cd /path/to/llama-cpp-turboquant
git checkout feature/turboquant-kv-cache
cmake -B build -DGGML_METAL=ON -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
2. Start the server:
export TURBO_LAYER_ADAPTIVE=7
./build/bin/llama-server \
-m /path/to/gemma-4-q4_k_m.gguf \
--port 8081 \
-ctk turbo4 -ctv turbo4 \
-c 131072 \
--host 0.0.0.0
3. Verify server is running:
curl http://localhost:8081/v1/models
4. Copy this profile to Hermes:
cp hermes-profile-gemma4-turboquant.yaml ~/.hermes/profiles/
performance_notes: |
TurboQuant delivers:
- 73% KV cache memory savings
- 1% prompt processing overhead
- 11% generation overhead
- Enables 128K context on 36GB hardware
With TurboQuant on Gemma 4 (estimated):
- Model weights: ~16GB at Q4_K_M
- KV cache at 128K: ~5GB (vs ~20GB without compression)
- Total memory: ~23GB (fits comfortably in 31GB budget)
troubleshooting: |
- If generation speed is slow, try turbo3 instead of turbo4
- If quality issues, disable per-layer adaptive (set mode to 0)
- For maximum quality on sensitive layers, use asymmetric K/V:
-ctk q8_0 -ctv turbo4
- Monitor memory with: vmmap --summary $(pgrep llama-server)
