## TL;DR

If LoRAX refuses to start with Phi-3-mini-128k-instruct and the logs mention RoPE scaling or model type detection, you need the fix from PR #499. Pull the latest main Docker image, which the reporter confirmed starts the model successfully. The remaining warnings about special token IDs are cosmetic and do not block startup. If you are on an older image tag, upgrade before debugging your config further.
