Thanks, very useful!
For those of you who prefer to run via sparkrun, I used ajvazan’s message above as basis and made a recipe which can be run via sparkrun. On a single node (but I guess it will also work well for the fortunate ones out there with multiple nodes):
Step 1:
Pull the image
docker pull ghcr.io/aeon-7/aeon-vllm-ultimate:latest
Step 2:
Create an image based on that with an empty entrypoint (there could be a better way to do this via sparkrun, did not dig too much, but this works):
dockerfile
FROM ghcr.io/aeon-7/aeon-vllm-ultimate:latest
ENTRYPOINT []
In the same directory as the dockerfile, run:
docker build -t aeon-vllm-ultimate:no-entrypoint .
Step 3:
Create a sparkrun-compatible recipe:
recipe_version: '2'
model: rdtand/Qwen3.6-27B-PrismaSCOUT-Blackwell-NVFP4-BF16-vllm
runtime: vllm
container: aeon-vllm-ultimate:no-entrypoint

Note, my spark is somewhat down-clocked (lower power and heat) to 2GHz on the GPU side, so your performance might be a bit better.
