Adds the MLA-backboned standalone DSpark drafter for Kimi-K3, alongside the GQA one already on main.

Why

The GQA drafter stores 16 KV heads x 64, K and V both. Under attention-DP nothing shards it, so every rank holds 20480 B per token. The MLA drafter holds one 576-wide latent per token per layer: 5760 B, a 3.6x reduction that does not depend on the parallelism.

Measured on the GEN worker of a DEP16 disaggregated run — two arms whose generated gen_config.yaml differ by exactly one line (speculative_model), same tree, same MoE backend, same free_gpu_memory_fraction=0.8:

per rank GQA drafter MLA drafter
KV capacity 1,779,275 tok 2,491,831 tok +40.0%
bytes/token, total 48,128 33,408 -30.6%
bytes/token, target 27,648 27,648 unchanged
bytes/token, draft 20,480 5,760 -71.9%
draft pool 33.94 GiB 13.37 GiB -20.57 GiB

Those are the KV manager's own max_tokens ... New quota is <G>GiB lines, not derived. Three independent cross-checks agree: draft quota / max_tokens is exactly 5760.0 and 20480.0; solving target = a*tokens + b across the two arms gives a = 27648.0 B/token, identical for both as it must be; and the pool shapes are 5 x (194785, 1, 1, 64, 576) bf16 for MLA against 5 x (139005, 2, 16, 64, 64) for GQA. The residual b = 7.53 GiB is the token-independent KDA per-sequence state, which is why capacity rises 40.0% rather than the 44.1% the bytes/token ratio alone would suggest.

Decode iteration time on the same pair, extracted by the bench repo's get_gen_only_perf.py over iterations with num_scheduled_requests == 8 and num_generation_tokens == 64: GQA 92.848 ms, MLA 96.038 ms. The median is nearly identical (92.179 vs 92.450 ms); the mean gap is a tail — 42.1% of MLA iterations exceed 95 ms against 5.1% for GQA. Not addressed here.

What it is

MLADSparkForCausalLM is selected from the checkpoint's own architectures, so switching drafters is one line of config and nothing else. It brings its own absorbed-MLA block decode rather than borrowing the worker's attention backend (_uses_worker_attention_backend = False), and takes its context KV from the draft KV cache manager's pool rather than a max_seq_len-dense private arena (_paged_ctx_cache = True) — the arena needs 78.5 GiB at 1M context, which is what made the MLA drafter undeployable before #18343 landed.

KIMI_K3_AUX_ATTN_RES_STREAM selects which residual value the hidden-state tap captures. Both conventions exist in the wild — SGLang captures the pre-norm attn_res mixture, vLLM defaults to the raw running prefix — and a drafter distilled against one scores lower on the other with nothing raised. It is a property of the drafter checkpoint, not a tuning knob; measured cost of getting it wrong on K3 + RadixArk was AR 71.4% -> 66.9%.

The position table is sized from the ceiling the worker publishes at runtime (dflash_position_ceiling), not from model_config.max_seq_len: py_executor_creator raises the engine's max_seq_len past the configured value and never writes it back, so a config-derived table is short of what the block decode indexes.

Verification

Everything below was run on this branch's own base (upstream main @ adfc41e28a), in a container matching jenkins/current_image_tags.properties, unless marked otherwise.

Build and unit tests. tensorrt_llm 1.3.0rc26 OK; the editable env resolves to this branch's commit; cubin extraction includes Sm103a (a GB200-built 100f-real would not, and only fails once an FMHA kernel with no sm100 cubin dispatches, ~14 min into worker start). test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py 38 passed, test_kimi_k3_dflash_scaffold.py 16 passed, test_dspark_cute_dsl_rmsnorm_rope.py 18 passed, test_kv_cache_budget_split.py 47 passed — zero failures, zero collection errors.

Disaggregated GSM8K, TEP16 1xCTX + 1xGEN, full 1319 questions, 5-shot lm_eval over the completions endpoint. Paired against the same config on the development branch:

this branch development branch
strict-match 0.9636 ±0.0052 0.9606 ±0.0054
drafter AL, 16 ranks 3.716 over 592,128 iters 3.634 over 605,024 iters
AttributeError / Traceback in CTX+GEN logs 0

The GEN worker binds the managed draft pool (DFlash: ctx block tables (9, 132), pool_idx=0, divisor=1), not the private arena, so this exercises the paged path the review found broken.

Aggregated GSM8K + acceptance, TEP16, n=200, both tap conventions:

KIMI_K3_AUX_ATTN_RES_STREAM score AL AR
0 (prefix) 97.00 ±1.21 4.265 49.4%
1 (attn_res mixture) 97.00 ±1.21 4.097 47.0%

attention_backend: VANILLA vs TRTLLM returns bit-identical numbers on this drafter, as expected — it brings its own block decode and logs attention_backend='TRTLLM' is not used.

Absolute acceptance on main sits below the development branch (which measures 62.8% / 65.7% for the same two taps), and the offset is uniform across both conventions while the disaggregated arm is slightly ahead. The target itself differs: it emits 100 tokens/question here against 211 on the development branch for the same 200 questions at the same score, so short dense answers draft worse. That is a base-level difference, not a property of this port, and is not addressed here.

Helix. Functional check under context parallelism (cp8, attention-DP off): loads, serves, completes warmup 16/16 with no errors. The memory win is tied to attention-DP, but the path is not broken without it.

Development-branch measurements. The KV-capacity and iteration-time tables above were taken on the branch this was developed on, where the two drafters could be A/B'd against an identical tree. They are not re-measured here.

Review follow-ups

Landed after the first review round:

  • The paged generation path raised AttributeError. Upstream's merged [None][feat] Page the DSpark drafter context through the draft KV cache manager #18343 bounds the drafter's context writes by the block-table width and defines no _ctx_block_counts; the branch this was developed on defines it, so the port carried the consumer without its producer. Restored, and both write paths — generation and _store_prefill_context — are now bounded by the same quantity rather than only the advertised read length.
  • That bound is per-request on one backend only. copyBatchBlockOffsetsToDeviceKernel maps BAD_PAGE_INDEX to 0 (kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu:231) and TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND defaults to cpp, so there the count saturates at the table width and the bound degenerates to exactly what upstream already applied. It is real on the python backend, which propagates the sentinel. Stated in dflash_allocated_ctx_limit's docstring so nobody reads a guarantee into it.
  • The draft-KV dtype carve-out is narrowed from is_external_drafter() to is_dflash() or is_dspark(), matching _should_create_separate_draft_kv_cache; PARD and DRAFT_TARGET_ONE_MODEL reach that helper too and can carry a genuine fp8 KV algo of their own.
  • _runtime_position_ceiling is declared on DFlashForCausalLM instead of injected, the MLA RoPE table is keyed on its resolved cap so a re-published ceiling rebuilds it, a guard whose named failure mode now raises one frame down was removed, and a try/except around a diagnostic that cannot fail was dropped.
  • Tests: the allocation-bound test calls the production clamp instead of restating it and gains a negative control at the regression boundary; two parameterized tests drive both KIMI_K3_AUX_ATTN_RES_STREAM conventions through the real layer forward and the model tail.

Also in this branch

Two ancillary commits that touch the same files and are not part of the feature:

  • A comment correction in the draft-mirror saturation path. Skipping a context request whose mirror found no IndexMapper slot does not defer it to the next iteration — copy_batch_block_offsets runs later in the same iteration and IndexMapper::getCopyIndex feeds every id in the batch, context ids included, to getIndex(), which TLLM_CHECKs on an unmapped id. Behaviour is unchanged and predates the mirror refactor; only the claim about it was wrong.
  • _get_draft_kv_model_config(), so the KV budget split charges the external drafter at the dtype its pool is actually allocated at. kv_cache_config.dtype: fp8 stamps the target's algo onto every loaded model; the allocation path stripped it back off for an external drafter but the cost path did not, charging 2880 B/token for a pool costing 5760.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Adds Kimi-K3 configuration and architecture dispatch.
  • Adds standalone MLA DSpark decoding with absorbed-MLA attention, latent KV caching, paged context storage, YaRN, and eager fallback.
  • Uses runtime position ceilings and allocated-dtype accounting for external drafter KV budgets.
  • Adds configurable auxiliary attention-residual capture through KIMI_K3_AUX_ATTN_RES_STREAM.
  • Extends DSpark RMSNorm/RoPE for partial normalization.
  • Strengthens fused and shared checkpoint-weight validation.
  • Bounds per-request draft-KV writes and improves draft-pool diagnostics.
  • Main risks are MLA decode parity, paged-cache bounds, position limits, capture-mode correctness, and compatibility with GQA, MTP, and Eagle3 drafters.

QA Engineer Review

  • Adds unit coverage for external-drafter KV dtype isolation, MLA and GQA semantics, YaRN/RoPE parity, paged execution, cache bounds, runtime position ceilings, backend behavior, weight-validation failures, partial RMSNorm, and auxiliary capture modes.
  • test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py covers configuration, weights, oracle parity, runtime ceilings, cache bounds, backend handling, and missing or partial weight failures.
  • test_dspark_cute_dsl_rmsnorm_rope.py covers full and split normalization through the fused path.
  • test_kimi_k3_dflash_scaffold.py covers prefix-sum and aggregated capture for decoder and final-layer paths.
  • No changed integration test-list entries are shown in test-db/ or qa/.
  • Coverage verdict: sufficient, with CUDA, SM100, and optional FLA execution required for full validation.

…3-DSpark)

Adds the MLA drafter path alongside the GQA one: it stores a single 576-wide
latent per token per layer instead of 16 KV heads x 64 for K and V, which under
attention-DP is 5760 vs 20480 bytes per token per rank.

Ported from the internal rubin-advance branch, with the position table sized
from the runtime ceiling the worker publishes rather than model_config.

The budget split resolved the draft config without stripping the target's

Auxiliary-stream selection works through an environment setting that is not covered by the current tests, so parsing regressions could reach users undetected. This is bounded but should be addressed before relying on the new configuration.

Test coverage summary (tests/ path instruction).**

  • Files modified: tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_dspark_cute_dsl_rmsnorm_rope.py.
  • Tests added: test_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_norm_dim[False] and test_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_norm_dim[True].
  • Behaviors covered: norm_dim forwarding from _rmsnorm_rope_batched to is_fused_dspark_rmsnorm_rope_supported and to the compiled kernel; whole-row normalization as the DSv4 regression gate; latent-only normalization with a raw k_pe tail; RoPE over the trailing rope_dim; numerical agreement with an eager reference at bf16 tolerance.
  • Strengths: the test seeds RNG, asserts the support predicate before the numeric assertion so a silent eager fallback cannot pass, and uses a strictly positive weight so the two parameterizations produce genuinely different expected tensors.
  • Gap: the split (norm_dim == nope) path is not covered with apply_weight=False or apply_rmsnorm=False, which is the exact combination the MLA query path uses at modeling_dspark.py lines 3001-3010. That path relies on the kernel skipping the weight read outside norm_dim. Add one parameterization with apply_rmsnorm=False, apply_weight=False to close it.
  • Verdict: sufficient for the norm_dim contract; one recommended addition above.

_ctx_block_counts is never assigned anywhere in the repo, and SpecWorkerBase is an nn.Module, so this raises AttributeError rather than returning None — on the managed-pool generation path, which is this PR's main path. Note also that whatever populates it has to count the non-placeholder entries before _refresh_ctx_block_tables does encoded.clamp_(min=0), since after that clamp a placeholder is indistinguishable from block 0. Given the disaggregated GSM8K numbers in the description, was a commit defining it lost in a rebase?

Yes — lost in the port, and the cause is that the base moved: upstream's merged #18343 uses a block-table-width clamp with no _ctx_block_counts, whereas the rubin-advance copy this was developed on defines it. Only the consumer came across.

Fixed in a93e50b, and your ordering point is exactly why it works: the count is (encoded >= 0).sum(dim=1) taken in _refresh_ctx_block_tables before encoded.clamp_(min=0). Every gen step hits this path, so the disagg GSM8K numbers in the description are from the rubin build; a main-base rerun is in flight.

Correction to my reply above, from reading the kernel rather than the comment.

copyBatchBlockOffsetsToDeviceKernel writes dstK = (val == BAD_PAGE_INDEX) ? 0 : ... (cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManagerV2Utils.cu:231), and TLLM_KV_CACHE_MANAGER_V2_BACKEND defaults to cpp (tensorrt_llm/runtime/kv_cache_manager_v2/__init__.py:23). So on the default path the placeholders are already gone by the time _refresh_ctx_block_tables sees them, (encoded >= 0).sum() counts the full row, and the bound degenerates to exactly the block-table-width clamp this PR replaced. The comment I removed was right for that backend; my claim that the count is recoverable holds only on the python backend, which propagates BAD_PAGE_INDEX through _copy_swa_block_offsets_with_scratch (kv_cache_manager_v2.py:856).

The fix stands — _ctx_block_counts still has to exist or the path raises, and the bound is never looser than upstream's — but it is per-request only on python. Stated in dflash_allocated_ctx_limit's docstring in 9bcd529 so nobody reads a guarantee into it. Practical consequence: the cross-request write this thread is about is not fixed on the default backend, only bounded to the table as before.

is_external_drafter() expands to {PARD, DFLASH, DSPARK, DRAFT_TARGET_ONE_MODEL}, so this also neutralizes PARD and DRAFT_TARGET_ONE_MODEL — exactly the two that _should_create_separate_draft_kv_cache calls out as out of scope for this kind of carve-out, and both can reach here via should_use_separate_draft_kv_cache. Their draft checkpoints can carry a genuine fp8 KV algo of their own rather than one inherited from the target: with the default kv_cache_config.dtype="auto", validate_and_set_kv_cache_quant returns early and keeps the checkpoint's value. Dropping it then allocates a bf16 pool (_create_kv_cache_manager reads quant_config off this copy) while the drafter's attention modules — built from the un-neutralized config — still read and write fp8, which is the out-of-bounds hazard documented at model_loader.py:195-203. Can this use the same narrower is_dflash() or is_dspark() predicate?

Agreed, fixed in 23e1495 — now is_dflash() or is_dspark(), matching the predicate _should_create_separate_draft_kv_cache already uses for the same reason (and its comment naming PARD / DRAFT_TARGET_ONE_MODEL as out of scope). Docstrings updated from "external drafter" to "standalone drafter" so the wording matches the predicate.

This bounds only the advertised read length; neither write path is bounded by the same quantity. The generation path clamps col_idx to the full block-table width (line 1336), not to this request's allocation, and _store_prefill_context passes torch.arange(cur, end) with no block-table bound at all. If the allocation really can lag _ctx_len — the premise of this truncation — those writes resolve through table entries that _refresh_ctx_block_tables clamped from their negative placeholder to 0, i.e. another request's block, which truncating the read length does not prevent for the request being overwritten. If it cannot lag, is this truncation guarding a reachable state? Either way, _ctx_block_counts is exactly the per-request bound that the comment on line 1332 says is "not recoverable here", so that comment needs updating too.

Right on both counts; fixed in a93e50b.

  • Generation write is now bounded by the request's own allocation (_ctx_block_counts[gen_rows_out] * page_size) instead of the table width, so the overshoot cannot resolve through a clamped placeholder.
  • _store_prefill_context folds the row's allocation into the existing _max_ctx overflow guard (cap = min(_max_ctx, ctx_alloc[i])), one sync hoisted out of the loop, reusing the same request-level skip.
  • The "not recoverable here" comment is gone — with the count taken pre-clamp it is recoverable.

_refresh_ctx_block_tables raises on its own when draft_kv_cache_block_offsets is absent, so it returns False only for self._ctx_block_tables is None or num_seqs <= 0. The first disjunct is already excluded by the condition here, so this branch is reachable only on an empty batch — which the message then misattributes to missing block offsets, and which changes from a no-op into a hard failure. Suggest asserting on batch_size explicitly, or dropping the guard since the case it names already raises with an accurate message one frame down.

Correct — on this base _refresh_ctx_block_tables raises on missing offsets itself, so the only way to reach that guard is an empty batch, which it then misreports. The guard came over from a branch where _refresh returned False for that case. Removed in a93e50b; the accurate message one frame down is the only one left.

_runtime_position_ceiling is injected onto the drafter but declared on no class, so the only reader (modeling_dspark.py:2817) needs a getattr(..., None) fallback to compensate. _uses_worker_attention_backend, _paged_ctx_cache and _kv_factor in this same PR are all declared on DFlashForCausalLM with a docstring — declaring this one the same way (defaulting to None) would remove both the untyped injection and the fallback.

_mla_freqs is built once and never reset, but _lazy_init_ctx_buffers re-publishes _runtime_position_ceiling on the rebind path when the estimation probe KV manager is swapped for the real one, and drafter forwards do run during estimation. Is _max_ctx guaranteed identical across that rebind? If it can grow, the table built during estimation is short for the real run and freqs[positions] indexes out of range — clearing the cache wherever the ceiling is published would make that impossible by construction.

Checked the trigger: _max_ctx = min(attn_metadata.max_seq_len, config.max_position_embeddings) (dflash.py:540-543) — neither input depends on the KV manager, so the ceiling cannot grow across the probe→real rebind today.

Made it impossible by construction anyway (23e1495): the table is cached on _mla_freqs_cap and rebuilt whenever the resolved cap differs, rather than built once.

ModelConfig.__setattr__ already exempts quant_config from the frozen check (model_config.py:315), so the _frozen = False / _frozen = True dance around this assignment is unnecessary — and restoring it to True unconditionally freezes a copy whose source may not have been frozen. Separately, the comment above points at a draft_kv_config.dtype -> "auto" guard in _create_one_model_draft_kv_cache_manager that reads layer_quant_mode; I can't find one. layer_quant_mode has no reader anywhere under pyexecutor/, and the only KV-quant consumer on this path is _create_kv_cache_manager, which reads quant_mode.

Both correct; fixed in 23e1495.

  • _frozen dance dropped — quant_config is in the exempt tuple at model_config.py:315-316, and restoring True unconditionally was the worse half of it.
  • The comment named a guard that does not exist. The only layer_quant_mode reader under pyexecutor/ is model_engine.py:1123, and it reads the model's config, not this shallow copy. Comment now says why the pop is still needed: _create_kv_cache_manager reads quant_mode off this copy and layer_quant_mode is the same cached pair.

kv_cache_map and _gpu_max_tokens are both assigned unconditionally in __init__, and .capacity is read on _KVCache in a dozen other places here, so none of the three reads can fail at the point this is called. The bare except Exception defends a state that cannot occur and conflicts with the repo guidance on broad exception handling — suggest dropping the try/except.

The info_once at construction makes the active mode visible, which helps. The remaining concern is the read itself: evaluating it into a module-level global at import time means it cannot be set per-LLM instance, cannot be changed after this module is imported, and does not appear in the serialized args. Since the surrounding docstring describes it as a property of the drafter checkpoint rather than a tuning knob, would a field on the drafter config — with this env var kept as an override — be a better home, even though the value still has to be supplied by hand today?

Agreed on the limitation. Leaving it as an env var in this PR, deliberately: the docstring's own measurement calls the Inferact direction unsettled (+0.9pt at n=200, inside the band this harness treats as noise for RadixArk's own 71-73% spread), so promoting it to a serialized config field would fix a value we do not yet consider settled. Worth revisiting once a drafter checkpoint records its capture convention — until then the info_once is what makes the active mode auditable.

copyBatchBlockOffsetsToDeviceKernel maps BAD_PAGE_INDEX to 0, so on the default

upstream's. It is per-request only on the python backend, which keeps the -1.

While there is no single public file named exactly test_kimi_k3_dflash_scaffold.py in the main branch, it follows the naming convention for integration and unit tests within the repository, which often involve model-specific scaffolding and performance benchmarks [4][5][6]. torch.manual_seed() is a standard PyTorch function used across the TensorRT-LLM codebase (and in test files like these) to ensure deterministic behavior [7][8][9]. Its usage in this context typically serves the following purposes: 1. Ensuring Reproducibility: By setting a fixed seed (e.g., torch.manual_seed(0) or torch.manual_seed(42)), developers ensure that random processes—such as weight initialization, dummy data generation for tests, or sampling operations—produce the same results every time the test is run [7][10][11]. 2. Deterministic Testing: Since tests often compare model outputs against expected values or baselines, removing randomness is crucial for consistent pass/fail results [7]. 3. Avoiding Synchronization Overhead: In some performance testing paths within TensorRT-LLM, setting a seed is used to manage multi-GPU sampling consistently while avoiding the performance overhead of CPU-GPU synchronization that can occur with certain random operations [12][9]. If you are encountering or editing this test file, ensure that any torch.manual_seed() call is positioned appropriately—usually at the start of the test function or test setup—to affect only the intended operations without inadvertently causing side effects in other parts of the test suite [7][9][10]. Alternatives like torch.Generator() are sometimes recommended for more granular control [9][11].

Restore the PyTorch RNG state around each seeded test.

test_aux_capture_taps_the_selected_stream and test_aux_capture_tail_follows_the_same_switch seed the process-global RNG without restoring it. Later tests can therefore observe order-dependent random sequences. Wrap each seeded section in torch.random.fork_rng().

Coverage: Both tests cover aggregated=True and aggregated=False, including in-loop and tail capture paths. RNG isolation is not covered.

Flagging this one for a second look — I may be missing a constraint, but the new cap looks like it could end up tighter than what the engine actually serves.

_runtime_position_cap resolves to model_config.max_seq_len + block_size + 2, so the largest valid index into _dspark_freqs_table() is max_seq_len + block_size + 1. The largest index the draft asks for is start_pos + block (blk_pos = start_pos + 1 + arange(block), L595), so this holds only while start_pos <= max_seq_len + 1.

What makes me want to ask is that model_config.max_seq_len is the un-raised value. py_executor_creator.py reads it into a local at L636, adds the spec-dec headroom at L639/L642/L643, and never writes it back — which is exactly what the new comment on external_drafter_config_kwargs in modeling_speculative.py points out. For DSPARK that headroom is 2 * (tokens_per_gen_step - 1) + get_num_extra_kv_tokens(spec_config); DSPARK is is_parallel_draft(), so use_one_engine() holds and get_num_extra_kv_tokens returns max_draft_len - 1, giving 3K - 1 with K = max_draft_len. The slack added here is block_size + 2 = K + 2, which is smaller than 3K - 1 for every K >= 2 (7 vs 14 at K=5). Before this change the cap was max_position_embeddings + block_size + 2 — 163840+ — so the gap was unreachable and none of this mattered.

I haven't traced start_pos to its actual maximum, so it may well be bounded below the cap for some other reason. But the engine reserving those positions specifically for this mode is the part I can't explain away. Could you confirm the upper bound on start_pos here?

Independently of how that lands, the four consumers disagree on how they fail, and one of them fails silently. dspark_attention_forward_batched (L593/L595) and write_context_windows / write_context_windows_batched (L1477/L1523) index with tensors, so an out-of-range position raises or trips a device-side assert. But dspark_attention_forward slices with Python ints (L486-487, freqs_cis[start_pos + 1 : start_pos + 1 + block]), which silently returns a short tensor instead of failing — RoPE quietly dropped from the block tail, visible only as lower acceptance. There's an assert start_pos > 0 at L483 but no upper guard. Even if the bound turns out to be safe today, making that path fail loudly seems worth doing.

Last thing, on the shape of the fix rather than the bug: this PR already solves the same problem on the DFlash side by publishing the ceiling at runtime (_runtime_position_ceiling, set in DFlashWorker._lazy_init_ctx_buffers) precisely because a config-derived reconstruction drifts from what the engine serves. The NOTE at L1079-1085 says the DSv4 site keeps its own slack because it isn't driven by that worker, which is fair — but it does leave this site on the config-derived arithmetic the rest of the PR is moving away from.
