[https://nvbugs/6627979][fix] Apply chat template in test_eagle3_output_repetition_4gpus - #18170
Conversation
WalkthroughThe change updates the Eagle3 repetition test to use tokenizer-based chat formatting. It also adds current integration test waivers and removes obsolete waiver entries across multiple hardware and performance scenarios. ChangesIntegration Test Updates
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to This test-only change makes the prompt follow the model’s expected conversation format and removes the flaky generation behavior that caused the waivers. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal validation of the affected test environments. Possibly related PRs

…ut_repetition_4gpus
The test passed the bare string "Who are you?" to LLM.generate(), which does
not apply the chat template. The model therefore continued arbitrary text
instead of answering a turn, never emitted <|im_end|>, and generated until it
hit max_tokens=1024 -- by which point it was looping over whatever it last
said. Whether that loop happened to be a single repeated character (which the
`(.)\1{10,}` assertion catches) or a repeated sentence (which it does not) was
a coin flip, so the test failed intermittently and was waived on GB300
(b417fc5) and then on H100 (c850fb4).
Wrapping the prompt in the model's chat template lets the model finish its
turn normally, which removes the degeneration the assertion was tripping over.
Measured on 4xB300, TP4/EP4, max_draft_len=3, eagle3_one_model=True,
temperature=0, max_tokens=1024, Qwen3-30B-A3B + Qwen3-30B-eagle3:
bare prompt (10 runs) : 6/10 degenerated, 8/10 hit max_tokens,
0/10 terminated on EOS
chat template (20 runs) : 0/20 degenerated, 0/20 hit max_tokens,
20/20 terminated on EOS, 36-168 tokens
Both thinking modes were covered (enable_thinking False and True); the
non-thinking form is used here since it answers in ~40 tokens.
Also drop the two waives, which the fix makes unnecessary.

Description
Fixes https://nvbugs/6627979 and drops the two waives it caused.
This turned out to be a test issue, not an Eagle3 bug. Two separate things
stack up to make it fail randomly.
First, the prompt never lets the model stop
The test hands the bare string
"Who are you?"toLLM.generate(), whichdoesn't apply the chat template. So the model isn't answering a turn -- it's
just continuing free-form text. It never emits
<|im_end|>, keeps going untilit hits
max_tokens=1024, and by then it has run out of things to say andstarts looping over whatever it said last. That looping comes from the missing
chat template, it's not what the model would normally do.
On main, Qwen3-30B-A3B + Qwen3-30B-eagle3, TP4/EP4,
max_draft_len=3,eagle3_one_model=True,temperature=0,max_tokens=1024:Second, the output isn't reproducible even at
temperature=0Qwen3-30B-A3B is MoE with
num_experts_per_tok=8, so it lands on the CUTLASSMoE backend with FC2+finalize fusion on by default. That epilogue sums the 8
expert outputs with
red.global.add.noftz.bf16x2-- an atomic add doneentirely in bf16 -- so the order depends on SM scheduling and changes every
launch.
What that costs us: up to 3.2% relative error on the logits, absolute spread up
to 0.69. Five captures gave five different logit vectors; with
MoeConfig(disable_finalize_fusion=True)they were identical. Over a 1024-stepdecode, 23 steps (2.2%) have a top1-top2 margin smaller than that noise, and
the smallest margin is 0.0. Two fused runs both split from the deterministic
reference at step 18, where the margin was 0.5 -- and after that one flipped
token, 99.2% of the rest of the tokens differed. Ten generations in a row in
the same process gave ten different outputs.
Put together
The second thing makes every run land in a different kind of degenerate output
-- a repeated sentence, a pile of newlines, a string of digits, or one
character over and over. Only that last one matches
(.)\1{10,}, which is whythe assertion fires at random. Worth noting the noise doesn't cause the
repetition: turn the fusion off and the degeneration is still there and fully
reproducible (29x repeated sentence), it just stops changing between runs.
This isn't Eagle3-specific. Across everything we ran, the assertion fired 3
times in 28 baseline runs (speculation off) and 0 times in 23 Eagle3 runs. It
also showed up on H100 (waived in c850fb4), not just GB300 (waived in
b417fc5), so it isn't tied to the hardware either.
The fix
Wrap the prompt in the model's chat template so the model finishes its turn and
stops on EOS. After that, 20/20 runs stopped on EOS within 36-168 tokens with
nothing degenerate (10 runs with
enable_thinking=False, 10 withenable_thinking=True). This PR applies the template and drops both waives.Notes:
verified
apply_chat_template(..., enable_thinking=False)renders correctlyfor Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-fp8, Llama-4-Maverick-17B-128E-Instruct-FP8 and
Qwen3-235B-A22B; the Llama templates simply ignore
enable_thinking.GB300 node. The fact that it also failed on H100 suggests it isn't a GB300
thing.
