Fix multi-GPU OOM errors by disabling Phase 2 graph correction

Browse Source 
Problem: The Phase 2 CC 3.7 graph correction (85% reduction) was being
applied unconditionally to all models, causing multi-GPU models like
gemma3:27b and gpt-oss:20b to fail with "cudaMalloc failed: out of memory"
errors on secondary GPUs.

Root Cause: The 85% correction made the allocator think large models
could fit on a single GPU, but then failed when trying to allocate even
small amounts (16 MiB) on GPU 1 because the memory estimate was too low.

Solution: Disabled Phase 2 correction factor in llm/memory.go:173-182.
Phase 1 optimization (per-GPU graph allocation with 190 MiB for secondary
GPUs) is sufficient and correctly handles both single-GPU and multi-GPU
scenarios without causing OOM errors.

Impact:
- gemma3:4b: Still runs on single GPU ✅
- gemma3:12b: May split across GPUs (acceptable trade-off) ✅
- gemma3:27b: Now works with multi-GPU split ✅
- gpt-oss:20b: Now works with multi-GPU split ✅

Files Modified:
- llm/memory.go: Commented out Phase 2 correction factor
- CLAUDE.md: Updated Phase 2 section with new status and lessons learned

**Results**: gemma3:12b split improved from 25,24 → 1,48 layers, but still not single-GPU.
### Phase 2: CC 3.7 Graph Correction Factor (2025-10-30)
### Phase 2: CC 3.7 Graph Correction Factor (2025-10-30) - DISABLED
**Problem**: Graph estimates were 15-20% higher than actual usage for CC 3.7 GPUs:
- Estimated: 1.3 GiB
- Actual: 1.1 GiB
- This caused gemma3:12b single-GPU check to fail by ~200 MiB margin
**Status**: ⚠️ **DISABLED** - Caused multi-GPU OOM errors (2025-10-30)
**Root Cause**: Output layer (2.6 GiB) couldn't fit after 48 layers (8.5 GiB) due to overestimated graph overhead.
**Original Problem**: Graph estimates were 15-20% higher than actual usage for CC 3.7 GPUs, causing gemma3:12b to fail single-GPU check by ~200 MiB margin.
**Solution** (`llm/memory.go:173-182`):
```go
// Apply empirical 85% correction factor for Tesla K80 (CC 3.7)
if gpus[0].Library == "cuda" && gpus[0].Compute == "3.7" {
graphPartialOffload = (graphPartialOffload * 85) / 100
graphFullOffload = (graphFullOffload * 85) / 100
}
```
**Original Solution**: Applied 85% reduction to graph estimates for CC 3.7 GPUs.
**Results Achieved**:
- **gemma3:4b**: Single GPU ✅
- **gemma3:12b**: Single GPU ✅ (was 1,48 split)
- **Memory estimate**: 11.9 GiB → 11.0 GiB (-900 MiB)
- **Actual usage**: 10.0 GiB on single GPU
- **GPU utilization**: 94% during inference
- **nvidia-smi**: GPU 0: 10,015 MiB, GPU 1: 7 MiB (idle)
**New Problem Discovered**: The 85% correction was applied unconditionally to ALL models, including those requiring multi-GPU splits. This caused:
- gemma3:27b: Failed with "cudaMalloc failed: out of memory" on GPU 1 (16 MiB allocation)
- gpt-oss:20b: Failed with same error (2100 MiB allocation)
- Root cause: Allocator thought large models fit on single GPU due to reduced estimates
**Technical Details**:
- Only affects CUDA CC 3.7 GPUs (Tesla K80, K40, M40)
- No impact on newer GPUs (CC 5.0+)
- Maintains 10% safety margin between estimate and actual
- Preserves multi-GPU functionality for models >11 GiB
**Resolution** (`llm/memory.go:173-182`):
- Phase 2 correction factor **disabled** (commented out)
- Phase 1 optimization (per-GPU graph allocation) is sufficient for both single and multi-GPU scenarios
- Phase 1 correctly allocates:
- Single GPU: Full graph on primary GPU
- Multi-GPU: 190 MiB on secondary GPUs, full graph on primary GPU
**Benefits**:
- ✅ gemma3:12b runs on single GPU (no cross-GPU communication)
- ✅ Faster inference (no tensor split overhead)
- ✅ Better VRAM utilization
- ✅ Empirically validated with real measurements
- ✅ Conservative correction maintains stability
**Impact**:
- ✅ gemma3:4b: Still runs on single GPU
- ✅ gemma3:12b: May split across GPUs (acceptable trade-off)
- ✅ gemma3:27b: Now works correctly with multi-GPU split
- ✅ gpt-oss:20b: Now works correctly with multi-GPU split
**Lesson Learned**: Aggressive memory optimizations for single-GPU scenarios must not be applied when multi-GPU splits are required. Phase 1's per-GPU allocation is the correct approach.
