Rocinante

Heavy AI inference server.

Planned direction: Rocinante becomes optional if the upgraded PD build receives the 4090. If PD does not get the 4090, Rocinante remains the heavy-inference specialist.

Hardware

Component Details
IP 10.5.30.112
GPU NVIDIA RTX 4090 (24 GB VRAM)
Role Heavy AI inference (Ollama)

Services

Ollama

Ollama runs on port 11434 and hosts the large-model ("heavy") tier.

Model Use
qwen3:latest Fast reasoning / general chat
qwen2.5:32b Large-context tasks
gemma3:27b Multimodal / vision

LiteLLM tier: Rocinante may serve as an opportunistic heavy/manual tier when the PC is online. Do not depend on http://10.5.30.112:11434 for routine background routing; verify live reachability first and prefer N.O.M.A.D.-local paths for guaranteed availability.

Current operational note

  • Rocinante is John's personal PC and is not a dependable always-on homelab tier.
  • Treat Ollama/Whisper on Rocinante as opportunistic capacity when the machine is online, not as a required background dependency.
  • If N.O.M.A.D. or PD need guaranteed inference, prefer local N.O.M.A.D. routing first and keep PD protected from routine background load.
  • Re-check live reachability from N.O.M.A.D. before any Rocinante-dependent maintenance or cutover.

Notes

  • No SSH config needed for routine use — Ollama API is accessed over LAN only
  • Do not run multiple large VRAM allocations simultaneously on the 4090
