Benchmark Methodology And Task Catalog

This methodology page is generated from the benchmark harness code, not hand-copied from a spreadsheet. It documents the exact synthetic task prompts and raw validator specifications used by app/bench.py.

The table below mirrors the current model matrix and links each model to its detailed sub-report when available. Links are relative so this folder can be published or moved without exposing local workstation paths.

These are the tasks in the all suite. The first 27 are decision probes with enlarged token budgets for thinking models, followed by 8 efficiency tasks and 6 long real-world stress tasks.

Return one compact JSON object with keys status, model_fit_observation, and caveat. The caveat must say that a true max-context result requires restarting the server with different context settings.

Fix this Python function. Return only a unified diff.

File: stats.py
```
def median(values):
    values = sorted(values)
    mid = len(values) // 2

```
Failing tests:
```
assert median([3, 1, 2]) == 2
assert median([10, 1, 2, 3]) == 2.5
assert median([]) is None
```

def get_user(email):
    return USERS.get(email)
```
`routes.py`
```
def login(email, password_hash):
    stored = get_user(email)
    return stored == password_hash
```
Return a concise patch plan with exact file/function edits and one regression test.

You are preparing the master field manual for a private home-lab benchmark campaign.

Subject:
How to evaluate open-weight GGUF models on a 32GB-class R9700 llama.cpp server using AI Flight Recorder.

Constraints:
- Thinking must stay enabled.
- The server has a reasoning budget of 8192 tokens.
- The final answer must be very long: target at least 20,000 final-answer tokens.
- Do not stop after a short overview. This is a sustained long-output reliability test.
- Use only synthetic examples. Do not include private email addresses, passwords, or real secrets.
- Do not claim that benchmark results already exist. Describe how to collect and interpret them.

Required structure:
Write 18 major sections. Each section should contain substantial paragraphs, concrete examples,
checklists, failure modes, metrics, and validation notes. Include section numbers in headings.

Required major sections:
# 1. Purpose And Scope
# 2. Hardware Profile
# 3. llama.cpp Runtime Profile
# 4. Reasoning Budget Methodology
# 5. MTP Versus Non-MTP Methodology
# 6. Context Fit Methodology
# 7. Coding Workloads
# 8. Agentic Workloads
# 9. RAG Workloads
# 10. Chatbot Workloads
# 11. Creative And Editorial Workloads
# 12. Long-Output Reliability
# 13. Privacy And Redaction
# 14. SQLite Storage And Artifact Layout
# 15. Reporting Plane And Screenshots
# 16. Model Leaderboards
# 17. Reproducibility Checklist
# 18. Final Recommendations

For each workload section, include:
- realistic task design
- prompt shape
- expected answer shape
- automated checks
- human review rubric
- failure examples
- metrics to graph
- notes on how thinking/reasoning budget can affect results

The final answer should be long enough that the benchmark records tens of thousands of generated tokens
if the model can sustain the output. Continue expanding each section until the manual is complete.

Benchmark output target:
- Target final-answer length: roughly 20,000 tokens.

You are reviewing a real private home-lab Python/FastAPI service before a risky deployment.

Project summary:
- app/main.py exposes a FastAPI app with a dashboard, health route, and OpenAI-compatible proxy.
- app/proxy.py forwards /v1/chat/completions to llama.cpp, records request metadata, response previews, timings, and usage into SQLite.
- app/store.py contains write helpers for runs, client sessions, llm_requests, events, and benchmark rows.
- app/reports.py aggregates dashboard and report metrics from SQLite.
- app/bench.py runs benchmark campaigns against the proxy.
- deploy/docker-compose.yml runs ai-flight-recorder beside llama-cpp-server on 192.168.1.116.
- Data lives on /models/flight-recorder/data.
- The active model profile is Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-APEX-MTP-I-Balanced.gguf with llama.cpp reasoning enabled.

Current pain points:
1. Long benchmark outputs need durable artifacts instead of giant inline JSON.
2. Reasoning output must be measured without turning thinking off.
3. Benchmark reports need enough metadata for screenshots and later model-to-model comparisons.
4. The proxy should avoid leaking private email or Teams content.
5. Server-side model profile changes must be auditable.
6. Some tasks need tens of thousands of output tokens, which stresses timeouts, storage, previews, and UI rendering.

Produce a deployment-grade engineering dossier. The final answer should be roughly 10,000 to 14,000 tokens.
It must be detailed enough that a senior engineer could implement the plan without asking follow-up questions.

[E3] Monday 10:30. A Teams message says the benchmark dashboard needs screenshots showing throughput, reliability, latency, MTP acceptance, and output quality.
[E4] Monday 13:42. Server logs show draft_n_accepted / draft_n is usually around 0.75 to 0.90 for the current MTP profile.
[E5] Tuesday 07:55. A project note says benchmark outputs must stay private because WorkDash may process email and Teams content.

[E7] Tuesday 14:40. A user complaint says toy tests are not representative; real tasks should produce long final outputs and include reasoning.
[E8] Wednesday 09:25. A maintenance task says every run should capture model path, quant, context, backend, MTP settings, reasoning budget, prompt tokens, completion tokens, duration, and GPU memory.
[E9] Wednesday 10:01. A privacy note says raw messages should be stored as local artifacts only, with redacted previews in SQLite.
[E10] Wednesday 15:16. A dashboard note asks for model leaderboard, failure drilldown, long-output histogram, context-fit table, and MTP vs non-MTP comparison.
[E11] Thursday 08:08. A support note says OpenWebUI, AgentSSH, Cline, opencode, and WorkDash should be compared as traffic types but not require app-specific integrations.
[E12] Thursday 12:34. A reliability note says each benchmark task should stop after failure unless --keep-going is supplied.
[E13] Friday 09:00. A planning note says the first publishable public writeup can describe aggregate model behavior, but the private source data must not leave the lab.
[E14] Friday 16:50. A server note says long outputs can run for many minutes, so progress, artifacts, and partial failure reporting matter.

- Early toy tests were invalid because max_tokens was too small for thinking models.
- The real benchmark suite must test coding, RAG, agentic work, server-admin work, chat assistant behavior,
  creative writing, long-output reliability, context fit, and MTP vs non-MTP behavior.
- Private raw data must stay local; only sanitized aggregate findings can be shared later.

I want a practical guide that I can follow this weekend. Explain what to check, how to collect data, what charts
to look at, what mistakes to avoid, and how to compare MTP and non-MTP profiles without fooling myself."

Answer as a helpful local AI lab assistant. The final answer should be roughly 8,000 to 11,000 tokens.

Required final-answer sections:
# Quick Diagnosis
# Data Collection Plan
# MTP Comparison Plan
# Reasoning Budget Plan
# Long Output Test Plan
# SQLite Queries
# Dashboard Screenshots To Capture
# Weekend Checklist
# Interpreting Results
# Common Mistakes

Include SQL examples, curl examples, dashboard metric definitions, and practical advice for deciding whether a model
is useful for coding, RAG, agentic work, chat, or creative writing.

Benchmark output target:
- Target final-answer length: roughly 9,000 tokens.
- Do not stop after a compact overview if the required sections can be expanded.
- Prioritize complete, useful, well-structured content over token efficiency for this run.
- Keep the final answer in message.content.

• The benchmark prompts in this file are synthetic and intended to be publishable.
• Raw private WorkDash, email, Teams, or agent transcripts should not be published. Public writeups should use this task catalog, aggregate metrics, redacted summaries, screenshots, and sanitized report links.
• The result matrix includes model behavior, throughput, reliability, MTP acceptance, reasoning-token estimates, output-token estimates, and VRAM observations. These are suitable for public methodology discussion when paired with model names and hardware context.
• Before publishing outside the home lab, review path strings, server addresses, and screenshots for any private details you do not want indexed.
