Add a chat-style evaluation model for NanoVLM (SigLIP2 + MLP projector + Qwen3-0.6B) trained with lmms-engine. Key features: - Async multi-GPU inference: loads model replicas on N GPUs, dispatches work via job queue with independent worker threads (no sync overhead) - NanoVLM-specific image token expansion (<|image_pad|> -> 256 tokens) - Single GPU fallback when only one device is available - Configurable via worker_gpus/worker_count model args
