Description

Adds native single GPU Qwen3-Reranker support to the PyTorch backend. Only unquantized checkpoints are supported, FP8 and NVFP4 is out of scope.

  • Adds Qwen3ForTextReranking, deriving a scalar yes - no scoring head from tied or untied checkpoint weights.
  • Uses the encode-only executor with dynamic batching.
  • Adds trtllm-serve rerank with /rerank, /v1/rerank, and /v2/rerank.
  • Implements Qwen3 prompt formatting, document truncation, scoring, and API documentation.
  • Supports the Qwen3-Reranker 0.6B, 4B, and 8B checkpoints.
  • Unifies embedding and reranking infrastructure by renaming embedding_batcher to encode_batcher and _reject_embedding_extra_model_inputs to _reject_encode_only_extra_model_inputs, and extracting _prepare_encode_only_llm_args
  • Also fixes the shared test-server startup timeout so repeated non-200 health responses respect existing 2 hour limit and cannot loop indefinitely.

Closes #19510.

Test Coverage

  • 43 targeted unit tests passed.
  • Hugging Face logit parity passed for the Qwen3 reranker 0.6B and 8B checkpoints on H200.
  • Live HTTP validation covered all three endpoints, truncation, top_n, error handling, and concurrent requests.

Dev Engineer Review

  • Adds Qwen3ForTextReranking, which derives a scalar yes_logit - no_logit score from tied or untied checkpoint weights.
  • Adds encode-only dynamic batching, the trtllm-serve rerank command, and /rerank, /v1/rerank, and /v2/rerank endpoints.
  • Adds Qwen3 prompt formatting, document truncation, sigmoid score conversion, ranking, top_n handling, and request validation.
  • Adds architecture routing and documentation for Qwen3-Reranker 0.6B, 4B, and 8B. Hugging Face parity test cases cover 0.6B and 8B.
  • Rerank serving rejects tensor, pipeline, or context parallelism greater than one. Verify this constraint and architecture routing in deployment configurations.
  • Review finding counts and independently verified test results are unavailable. The objectives report parity and live endpoint validation, but the supplied evidence does not establish execution status.

QA Engineer Review

  • Adds unit tests for reranker model weights, architecture routing, prompt construction, token limits, and API behavior. Adds remote API tests and Hugging Face score-parity integration tests for 0.6B and 8B.
  • Adds reranker unit-test entries to l0_a10.yml. Adds parity cases and the remote API test to l0_a100.yml. Adds both parity cases to the manual-QA list, llm_function_core.txt.
  • Coverage includes weight loading, routing, parallelism restrictions, truncation, response formats, validation failures, unsupported priority, invalid model output, and concurrent requests.
  • Coverage verdict: sufficient for the listed behavior. Test execution status is not established.

Custom checkpoints can produce incorrect reranking scores. The remaining startup, response-reporting, and test-coverage concerns warrant owner follow-up, but the established impact is bounded.

🟡 Minor · Enforce the startup timeout after every health poll. · openai_server.py:115-116

tests/unittest/llmapi/apps/openai_server.py:115-116
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Enforce the startup timeout after every health poll.

For rank 0, a 200 response exits the loop, but every non-200 response reaches time.sleep(0.5) and returns to while True without checking elapsed time. The timeout check runs only in the exception branch. Continuous 503 responses can therefore bypass the 7200-second startup timeout and keep the rerank fixture waiting without a code-level bound.

Run the elapsed-time check after both the response and exception branches, before the next poll.

The model and prompt logic match the official Qwen3-Reranker recipe (prompt strings, yes/no IDs 9693/2152, document-only truncation), and the unit tests hit the right edge cases. The remaining issues are CI wiring and a couple of silent-degradation paths; see inline comments. The one that will actually fail in CI is the model path mismatch between _test_openai_rerank.py (Qwen/...) and the accuracy test (Qwen3/...).

A few PR-level notes:

  • CI model staging. Both new l0_a100.yml entries need Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B and Qwen3-Reranker-8B under LLM_MODELS_ROOT/Qwen3/ on CI storage. That has to be done by a maintainer before the pipeline can go green; worth saying so in the description so whoever runs /bot run knows what to expect. The auto-generated summary in the description also says l0_l40s.yml, but the diff adds to l0_a100.yml.
  • Unmentioned changes. The description does not cover the embedding_batcher → encode_batcher / _reject_embedding_extra_model_inputs → _reject_encode_only_extra_model_inputs rename (I checked, no stale references remain), the _prepare_encode_only_llm_args refactor of the embeddings command, or the _wait_for_server change in the shared test fixture. The last one changes behavior for every RemoteOpenAIServer subclass: the 2h timeout is now enforced when /health returns non-200, not only on connection errors. It is a fix, but it is unrelated to reranking; either split it out or list it in the description.
  • Codeowners. Touching tensorrt_llm/usage/architecture_allowlist.py requires telemetry/privacy codeowner approval per AGENTS.md; the identifier is publicly documented in supported-models.md so that should be routine.
  • Docs. reranking.md says bf16 nothing about dtype; since the derived head is only built from a plain lm_head.weight/embed_tokens.weight row and the score Linear has no quant config, it would be worth stating that quantized (FP8/NVFP4) reranker checkpoints are not supported yet.

Approving — the comments below are optional touch-ups, not blockers.

All points from the previous round are addressed in the current code, with regression tests behind each one (tie-gated fallback, BadParameter on config load failure, per-request Qwen3RerankInputBuilder, single .tolist(), docs wording, quant scope, timeout fix noted in the description). I also ran the three CPU-only test files locally against this head: 43 passed.

Two non-blocking notes:

  • CI model staging. The l0_a100.yml entries need Qwen3/Qwen3-Reranker-0.6B and Qwen3/Qwen3-Reranker-8B under LLM_MODELS_ROOT on CI storage. If /bot run fails those stages with a missing-model error, that is staging rather than code, and a maintainer will need to request the upload before merge.
  • Description drift. The auto-generated CodeRabbit section still says the parity and HTTP tests were added to l0_l40s.yml; the diff puts them in l0_a100.yml. Worth regenerating or trimming that block so the description matches the test-list wiring.

Reviewed from the disaggregated-serving angle (head 0ad137e). Existing ctx/gen disagg is unaffected: ServerRole.RERANK falls into the existing non-worker branches (router metadata filter on 'context'/'generation', disagg_auth CONTEXT/GENERATION allowlist), no disagg server/router/auth files change, and trtllm-serve disaggregated/serve launch paths are untouched. Rerank is not routable through a disagg proxy (404), same as embeddings today, which is fine.

Two CI blockers before this can merge:

  1. Adding RERANK = 5 to ServerRole changes the generated disagg config schema, but the checked-in schema was not regenerated, so test_checked_in_schemas_are_current fails in l0_cpu.
  2. After the latest main merge, tests/unittest/serve/test_no_object_new.py (#21406) flags OpenAIServer.__new__(OpenAIServer) in test_reranker.py, so l0_cpu unittest/serve fails.

One non-blocking suggestion inline on bounding documents. Please /bot run on the updated head after the fixes.

MM_ENCODER = 2
VISUAL_GEN = 3
EMBEDDING = 4

Adding a ServerRole member changes the generated disagg config schema (RouterConfig.server_role), but tensorrt_llm/schemas/trtllm-serve-disagg-config.schema.json still has enum [0..4]. Please run python3 scripts/generate_trtllm_serve_schemas.py and commit the result; otherwise test_checked_in_schemas_are_current fails in l0_cpu.

After the latest main merge, tests/unittest/serve/test_no_object_new.py (#21406) counts OpenAIServer.__new__(OpenAIServer) as a new construction site that is not in its shrink-only baseline, so test_no_new_object_new_sites fails in l0_cpu. Per tensorrt_llm/serve/AGENTS.md, please build the server via isolated_serve_env from tests/test_common/serve/app_factory.py instead of adding a baseline entry.

Consider bounding documents (e.g. reject with 400 when len(documents) exceeds max_queue_size or a configurable limit, before tokenization). The query is re-tokenized per document and all token lists are materialized before validate/submit, so a small request (long query + many empty docs) can amplify into very large host memory/CPU usage. A request with more documents than max_queue_size can also never succeed but gets a retryable 429.
