Had the same issue, the newer qwen ggufs never worked, I moved to lmstudio. Using Llamacpp directly is also an option

9tb should be fine for vectordb, for sure. google search is many petabytes of index with vector+semantic search, that is using ScaNN.<p>you could probably use the hybrid search in llamaindex; or elasticsearch. there is an off the shelf discovery engine api on gcp. vertex rag engine is end to end for building your own. gcp is too expensive though. alibaba cloud have a similar solution.

Standard load balancers break sticky sessions, and passive HTTP timeouts are too slow for cleanup.<p>I couldn't find a good local process pool that actually cleaned up dead stateful sessions reliab
