The gRPC deadline for the remote LoadModel call was a fixed 5m. It starts
only after the backend install and file staging have completed, so it
covers the worker's checkpoint read and pipeline init alone - work whose
duration is proportional to the bytes on disk. A fixed value is therefore
a model-size cliff, not a timeout.
Measured in production: a 70 GB video checkpoint (longcat-video-avatar-1.5)
on an NVIDIA Jetson Thor worker failed reproducibly with
"rpc error: code = DeadlineExceeded" after 953.5s of wall clock. Backend
install plus staging consumed ~11m, then LoadModel got its 5m and expired.
The load never had a chance, and the operator saw only a generic
DeadlineExceeded with no hint that a config value was the cause.
Raising the constant does not fix this. It moves the cliff to the next
larger model - the cluster has to support 600 GB checkpoints - and it makes
a genuinely wedged SMALL model hang for the whole inflated duration before
anyone notices, which is a real regression in failure latency.
So derive the budget from the checkpoint size instead:
budget = 5m + 20s/GiB, capped at 6h
2 GiB -> 5m40s, 70 GiB -> 28m20s, 600 GiB -> 3h25m. The per-GiB rate is
deliberately pessimistic (~54 MB/s of weight read) because the errors are
not symmetric: too long costs only failure latency on a load that was going
to fail anyway, too short is a guaranteed false failure on a healthy load.
The size is measured from the frontend's local model files, over the same
path set stageModelFiles uploads. When those files are not present locally -
a backend handed a bare HuggingFace repo id fetches its own weights on the
worker - there is nothing to measure and the budget stays at today's 5m.
An explicit LOCALAI_NATS_MODEL_LOAD_TIMEOUT still wins outright, in both
directions: a shorter override is honoured, so an operator who wants fast
failure is not silently extended by the heuristic.
The cold-load hold needed widening to match. It extends on staging progress,
but LoadModel reports none, so once the last byte lands the hold expires a
stall window later and would cancel a load still well inside its own budget.
scheduleAndLoad now extends the hold by the load budget plus the staging
margin as it enters the load phase; ModelLoadCeilingFor stays the hold's
starting budget rather than its maximum.
Finally, a deadline that does expire now names the budget, the checkpoint
size it was derived from, and the knob that overrides it, instead of
surfacing a bare "context deadline exceeded".

Running the website locally
Building and running the site locally requires a recent extended version of Hugo.
You can find out more about how to install Hugo for your environment in our
Getting started guide.
Once you've made your working copy of the site repo, from the repo root folder, run:
hugo server
Running a container locally
You can run docsy-example inside a Docker
container, the container runs with a volume bound to the docsy-example
folder. This approach doesn't require you to install any dependencies other
than Docker Desktop on
Windows and Mac, and Docker Compose
on Linux.
-
Build the docker image
docker-compose build -
Run the built image
docker-compose upNOTE: You can run both commands at once with
docker-compose up --build. -
Verify that the service is working.
Open your web browser and type
http://localhost:1313in your navigation bar, This opens a local instance of the docsy-example homepage. You can now make changes to the docsy example and those changes will immediately show up in your browser after you save.
Cleanup
To stop Docker Compose, on your terminal window, press Ctrl + C.
To remove the produced images run:
docker-compose rm
For more information see the Docker Compose documentation.
Troubleshooting
As you run the website locally, you may run into the following error:
➜ hugo server
INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 Using config file:
Building sites … INFO 2021/01/21 21:07:55 syncing static files to /
Built in 288 ms
Error: Error building site: TOCSS: failed to transform "scss/main.scss" (text/x-scss): resource "scss/scss/main.scss_9fadf33d895a46083cdd64396b57ef68" not found in file cache
This error occurs if you have not installed the extended version of Hugo. See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install Hugo.
Or you may encounter the following error:
➜ hugo server
Error: failed to download modules: binary with name "go" not found
This error occurs if you have not installed the go programming language on your system.
See this section of the user guide for instructions on how to install go.
