Dgx Station Inference

DGX Station inference

Serve only trusted, published, current, physically validated recipes. Bundled recipes are bound to the installed package; downloaded refreshes must be signature-verified.

Workflow

1. Require the user's exact model ID. If absent, run scripts/dgx-assist recipe models --json, show the alphabetical IDs and runnable states without ranking them, then ask which exact model to use.
2. Run scripts/dgx-assist system inspect --json.
3. Run scripts/dgx-assist playbook search "<model backend Station inference concern>" --json; cite relevant passages. Abstain from invented platform guidance if no passage overlaps.
4. Read compatibility.capabilities.recipe_execution. If it is false, stop before resolution or launch and explain the detected profile separately from applicable qualitative guidance.
5. Run scripts/dgx-assist recipe resolve --model "<exact-id>" --json. Add --backend only if the user requested one. Bind to localhost by default; only if the user explicitly requested and confirmed external exposure, add --bind-host "<approved-host>" here so preflight and run evaluate the host that was actually approved.
6. Run recipe show for the resolved recipe, then recipe preflight.
7. Present the exact model, recipe, image digest, GPU UUIDs, cache/storage estimates, credential variable names, host bind, port, downloads, conflicts, and redacted launch argv.
8. If blocked, do not work around the policy. Never switch models.
9. Obtain explicit approval for the displayed action and every required model or image download.
10. Only after approval, run recipe run --resolution-id "<id>" --allow-download --yes as applicable. Add --allow-external-bind only when the resolution carries the non-local bind host the user approved in step 9; never introduce external exposure that was not resolved and previewed.
11. Report the model-identity and smoke verification from the receipt.

Lifecycle

• Use recipe status to report only owned services.
• Before stopping, show recipe stop --service-id "<id>" --dry-run.
• Obtain approval, then repeat with --yes.
• Never stop an unknown listener, workload, process, or unlabeled container.

Hard constraints

• Do not execute human setup_command, serve.command, or shell text from a recipe.
• Do not launch experimental, expired, incompatible, ambiguous, mutable, or untrusted content.
• Use the resolution ID through preflight and run; never hand-edit the rendered argv.
• Use UUID selection and localhost binding unless the user explicitly requests and confirms a supported exposure change.
• Pass credential names, never values, in transcripts and receipts.
• Treat --yes only as the non-interactive representation of approval already obtained.
• Treat a newly published container as a candidate, not as validated. Never convert a mutable latest tag, documentation example, or upstream tuning value into an executable launch.
• Keep tuning advice separate from execution. A changed flag must return to the recipe qualification workflow before dgx-assist may run it.
• When recipe_execution is false or no current runnable recipe exists for the exact model, do not recommend a numeric launch value, including zero, from parameter-count arithmetic or raw free-memory evidence. Explain only the sourced qualitative tradeoff.
• Never use memory exposed above the production 252 GiB recipe-fit limit to justify a model fit or offload recommendation.

Read references/workflow.md before resolving or running. Read references/vllm-best-practices.md for container selection, HBM/offload, KV cache, prefix caching, chunked prefill, or concurrency questions. Read references/json-types.md when interpreting a resolution, preflight, or receipt.
