Grok NUC Gemma Smoke Gate Pack (2026-06-22)
Authority: Operator gate pack. Local artifact only. No execution/installs/downloads/benchmarks here.
Lane: UAPI NUC Gemma smoke. OpenVINO GenAI primary. Targets: local.nuc.gemma.npu, local.nuc.gemma.140t (candidates only).
Scope
Gate for later install + small Gemma/SLM download + smoke benchmark approval on NUC-IPEX (Ultra 9 285H + Arc 140T + NPU). One-shot, human-present. 1-3 short prompts/device. Max new tokens 32-64. No prod claims pre-evidence + re-bootstrap + Codex.
Allowed (post explicit operator approval)
- pip (venv/--user): openvino, openvino-genai, optimum[openvino], nncf.
- optimum-cli export openvino --model
--weight-format int4 --sym --ratio 1.0 --group-size 128 . - Smoke: LLMPipeline(..., "NPU") and "GPU" only. Fixed short prompts.
- Record sanitized metrics + stdout. Use reverse path. Idle confirmed.
- Targeted cleanup + re-probe absent. Evidence promotion.
Blocked (always)
- Any install/download/export without gate.
- Models >~4B class for NPU smoke (no 7B+).
- Long/sustained/context runs, multi-runs, background, concurrent.
- Infra changes, public routes, WSL, drivers, secrets/PII.
- Pre-gate inference. No
local.nuc.*claims until evidence + contracts. - SN850X (boot=SN8100).
Metrics (per device NPU then 140T)
first_token_ms, tokens_per_sec (mean), load_time_s, peak_mem_mb, device (observed fallback), stability, model+quant+flags. Targets (indicative): first<3000ms, t/s>10-15 idle, load<60s. Record actuals.
Rollback / Cleanup
pip uninstall openvino openvino-genai optimum nncf (or venv). rm -rf targeted export/HF/OpenVINO caches. Re-probe packages ABSENT. Re-preflight baseline. Re-bootstrap if needed.
Evidence Checklist (pre any route)
- [ ] Re-preflight: CPU 285H, Arc 140T (drv 32.0.101.8331), NPU OK, ~64GiB, Python 3.13, idle, C free.
- [ ] Install log + pip freeze versions.
- [ ] Export success + IR files.
- [ ] Sanitized smoke (NPU+140T) + metrics table.
- [ ] Errors/fallbacks noted.
- [ ] Cleanup verified (absent).
- [ ] Pre/post idle + trace.
- [ ] Sources/blockers in evidence.

- Inventory: NUC15CRSU9, SN8100, packages absent.
Assumptions
Small Gemma 2B/3B (e.g. gemma-2-2b-it) export/run with int4 on NPU/140T. OpenVINO GenAI stable on this driver. ~64GiB OK for smoke. Gate before any change.
Blockers
Operator gate required. Codex contracts (PlacementDecision/routes) pending. No packages/weights today. NPU limits (e.g. prompt ~1024) unknown pre-smoke. SN850X separate.
Next Handoff
Promote pack. Await operator approval. Execute smoke, sanitize evidence, re-bootstrap, Codex route review.
