[TRTLLM-16944][refactor] Simplify TorchSampler strategy grouping and fast path around the fused sampling kernel by lori-ren · Pull Request #20188 · NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM

Dev Engineer Review

TorchSampler replaces strategy-object grouping with resolved parameters stored per sequence slot. It groups rows by sampling mode, processed-logprob needs, or beam-search parameters. The eager and in-graph paths read the slot store. The in-graph path stages row parameters and uses neutral values for padding rows. One-model speculative sampling uses the shared resolve_row_params resolver.

The refactor also replaces beam-search strategy metadata with BeamSearchParams and BeamSearchStep, and changes top-p decay to runtime parameter overrides. Two-model speculative decoding now performs greedy draft-token verification; stochastic rejection sampling and its statistical test are removed. Verify that supported two-model workflows do not require stochastic rejection sampling. Also verify that every sampling entry point admits requests before reading slot parameters, and that the seed-manager changes preserve seeded-stream behavior.

TokenBanHandler now bans single-token stop words as well as a valid EOS ID below min_tokens; it does not ban multi-token stop words through this path.

The supplied CI comments report failed or unstable pipeline runs, but do not establish whether those failures were resolved. Current review-finding counts and test execution results are unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

Changed tests cover parameter resolution and validation, slot admission and reuse, fused mixed sampling, logprobs, seeds, top-p decay, beam search, in-graph tier selection and staging, padding rows, one-model speculative sampling, and min-length token bans. The CPU-only statistical rejection-sampling test was removed with the rejection-sampling implementation.

The changed sampler, in-graph, beam-search, and one-model capture tests are listed in test-db CI files: respectively l0_a10.yml, l0_a10.yml, l0_a30.yml, and l0_h100.yml. The changed token-ban test has no matching entry in the searched lists. The removed rejection-sampling test also has no matching entry. The changed integration performance test has no matching test-list entry. No test-list files changed.

Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. Confirm that supported two-model workflows do not require the removed rejection-sampling behavior. Test execution results are unavailable.

Per-File QA Perspective

pyproject.toml: The default mypy file list now checks sampling_resolution.py instead of `sampler_strategy.py. Verify that the new resolver receives the intended type-check coverage.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py: LlmRequest no longer defines py_sampling_strategy. Verify that no callers depend on this attribute.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/__init__.py: Package documentation and lazy-import protection now use sampling_resolution. Verify that imports resolve without forwarding conflicts.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/beam_search.py: Beam search now uses BeamSearchParams and BeamSearchStep instead of strategy metadata. Verify row-stride grouping, temperature handling, and early-stopping behavior.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/logprobs.py: The change updates a comment only. No behavior change is reported.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/ops/vanilla.py: StrategyMetadata and top_k_top_p_sampling_batch are removed. Verify that no callers depend on these APIs.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler.py: Dispatch, slot parameter reads, in-graph staging, and seed handling change. Verify admission-before-read, padding-row defaults, logprob behavior, and seeded streams.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler_common.py: The strategy-cache helper is removed. Verify that remaining callers use shared parameter resolution and preserve per-row RNG behavior.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler_strategy.py: The module and its strategy and grouping APIs are deleted. Verify that supported sampling paths no longer depend on them.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampling_resolution.py: The new resolver and slot store define parameter normalization, mode classification, and admission checks. Verify defaults, validation, slot reuse, and device transfers.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/top_p_decay.py: Runtime top-p overrides replace metadata construction. Verify decay gates and values for requests without decay.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/two_model_spec_dec.py: Draft verification is now greedy-only; rejection sampling is removed. Verify mismatch handling, forced acceptance, and completion behavior.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/interface.py: One-model capture uses the shared resolver. Verify greedy sentinels and normalized sampling parameters.
tensorrt_llm/sampling_params.py: The downstream-code comment points to the new resolver. No executable behavior change is reported.
tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/token_ban.py: Min-length handling now suppresses single-token stop words as well as a valid EOS ID. Verify behavior when EOS is invalid and when stop words contain multiple tokens.
tests/integration/defs/perf/host_perf/test_module_sampler.py: The helper admits requests into slot parameter storage. Verify admission occurs before slot reads; no matching test-list entry was found.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_beam_search.py: Tests cover beam grouping and BeamSearchStep construction, along with existing beam-search behavior. Listed in test-db/l0_a30.yml.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_in_graph_sampling.py: Tests cover fast/full tier selection, slot-backed staging, and padding-row parameters. Listed in test-db/l0_a10.yml.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_torch_sampler.py: Tests cover parameter resolution, slot storage, mixed fused sampling, logprobs, decay, and seed behavior. Listed in test-db/l0_a10.yml.
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_torch_rejection_sampling.py: The statistical rejection-sampling test is deleted with the implementation. Verify that no supported two-model workflow needs the removed behavior; no matching test-list entry was found.
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_capture_sampling_params.py: Tests cover one-model capture resolution for greedy and non-greedy parameters, including min_p. Listed in test-db/l0_h100.yml.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_token_ban.py: Tests cover EOS and single-token stop-word bans below the minimum length, and confirm that multi-token stop words are not banned by this mechanism. No matching test-list entry was found.

Description

Since TRTLLM-16708 every stochastic row in TorchSampler is sampled by the fused kernel. The Strategy tuple layer that sat in front of it (per-strategy groups, WithProbs/SampleOnly impl pairs, a request grouper cache) no longer bought anything. This PR replaces it with a per-slot store.

Per-slot store. Each request's (temperature, top_k, top_p, min_p) and its mode (greedy / sampling / beam) are resolved once at admission into SlotSamplingParams, then gathered by seq_slot on every step.
Fewer kernel launches. The eager path and the in-graph fast path both read the store. A mixed batch takes one fused launch per step: two if only some rows need processed logprobs.
One resolver. resolve_row_params is now the only interpretation of the sampling params, shared with the one-model speculative path.
Dead code removed. The two-model rejection path is deleted; nothing assigned py_draft_logits, so it was unreachable. Two-model spec keeps greedy acceptance (NGram).

Unchanged on purpose:

AdvancedSamplingMode and its flashinfer ops.
The spec dispatch helpers in speculative/interface.py (TRTLLM-16780 owns those).
Beam search semantics.

Admission ordering. The store is indexed by slot, so every sampling path (eager grouping, the in-graph fast tier, the fast and stable greedy checks) now relies on setup_sampler_step having admitted the request before its slot is read. On main only the eager grouping did; the fast tier resolved params per request. Every current entry point admits first: a context request's last chunk, ADP dummies, disagg generation requests in _prepare_disagg_gen_transmission_complete, and best-of-n children, which are created with their parent. A future entry point that skipped admission would sample with the slot's previous occupant's params without raising; a per-slot request-id assert would catch that, if reviewers want one.

The first commit is the smaller, independently validated step: merging the stochastic groups, a return_probs flag, and dropping the generator plumbing. The second commit replaces the strategy layer.

Feedback wanted before going further: follow-ups we are weighing, as this PR or separate ones:

folding top-p decay into the store;
collapsing the greedy paths into the fused call for mixed batches;
unifying the one-model sentinels;
merging the FAST and FULL tiers;
emitting processed logprobs from the kernel.

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_torch_sampler.py: param resolution, slot store, mixed strategies sharing one fused call.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_in_graph_sampling.py: fast-path staging from the store; padding rows read neutral params.
tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_beam_search.py
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/test_capture_sampling_params.py: one-model resolution through the shared resolver.
tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/hw_agnostic/test_ngram.py: two-model greedy acceptance end to end.

Walkthrough

The change replaces strategy-object sampling with shared per-row parameter resolution and slot-based sampler state. It updates sampling dispatch, in-graph staging, beam search, top-p decay, and speculative sampling. Minimum-length suppression now includes single-token stop words.

Changes

PyTorch sampling flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Resolve sampling parameters by row `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampling_resolution.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler_strategy.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/ops/vanilla.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/__init__.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/llm_request.py`, `pyproject.toml`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/interface.py`	Adds `SamplingMode`, row-parameter resolution, and `SlotSamplingParams`. Package references and mypy configuration point to `sampling_resolution`; the old strategy module and vanilla helper are removed.
Admit slots and dispatch sampling `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/sampler_common.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_torch_sampler.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_in_graph_sampling.py`, `tests/integration/defs/perf/host_perf/test_module_sampler.py`	The sampler admits requests into slot parameters, stages persistent per-row buffers, groups requests by mode, and dispatches greedy or fused sampling. Log-prob handling and tests use slot-level values and flags.
Build and run beam-search steps `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/beam_search.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_beam_search.py`	Adds `BeamSearchParams` and `BeamSearchStep` for compatible beam groups. Step construction checks shared row stride and passes group settings to the CBA sampler.
Apply top-p decay at sampling time `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/top_p_decay.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_torch_sampler.py`	Replaces decay metadata construction with slot membership checks and a runtime top-p override. Tests cover resolution and sampling-time overrides.
Update speculative sampling paths `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/two_model_spec_dec.py`, `tensorrt_llm/_torch/speculative/interface.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/speculative/*`	The one-model speculative path uses shared row resolution. The two-model handler verifies draft tokens by matching target tokens and no longer performs rejection sampling.

Minimum-length stop-word bans

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Ban single-token stop words below minimum length `tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/sampler/token_ban.py`, `tests/unittest/_torch/sampler/test_token_ban.py`	Minimum-length suppression now bans single-token stop words as well as a valid EOS token. Multi-token stop words are not banned.

The TensorRT-LLM sidecar rejected `stop_token_ids_visible` with a 400, so every GPT-OSS tool request (Harmony `<|call|>`) through it failed. Add the visible IDs to the OpenEngine stop conditions and, when any are present, set `include_stop_in_output`. The server maps it to TensorRT-LLM's `include_stop_str_in_output`, which keeps matched stop words in the output IDs, so the engine stops on the token and the frontend decoder still sees it. Hidden stop IDs and stop strings retained by the same flag are stripped by the frontend decoder. Requests without visible IDs are unchanged. This is the in-engine approach #16571 takes for the Python worker. Known limits, noted in code: - A visible ID equal to the tokenizer EOS (`end_id`) finishes as END_ID and may still be dropped. GPT-OSS's `<|call|>` is not its `end_id`. - On TensorRT-LLM 1.3.0rc29, `min_tokens` holds back only `end_id`, so a stop ID can end generation before the minimum, as TensorRT-LLM's own generation-config EOS stop words already do. NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM#20188 extends it to single-token stop words. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: Alec Flowers <aflowers@nvidia.com>

Not included here: - the sampler host-path changes (main refactored TorchSampler in NVIDIA#20188); - everything that belongs to the hybrid (Mamba/GDN) KV block reuse of the v1 KV cache manager: the recurrent off-grid snapshot scheduling in scheduler/scheduler.py, the mamba_max_off_grid_snapshots_per_chain handling in py_executor_creator.py, the GDN fold-kernel warmup; - the GDN prefill-family warmup in the decoder runner (comes with the GDN host-path change in MR B2); - the Mamba steady-gen hook (steady-gen fast prepare is attention-only here; hybrid models keep the regular prepare()). Adapted: RankState moved to scheduler/rank_state.py, and the packed attention-DP exchange stays off while KV-load routing telemetry is enabled.

[TRTLLM-16944][fix] Ban single-token stop words below min_tokens

506d344

A model's extra EOS ids become single-token stop words and could end a request before min_tokens. Ban them alongside end_id. Signed-off-by: Lori Ren <lorir@nvidia.com>
