Description

Three GLM-5.3-Flash optimizations on the Python side, one commit each.

1. Share the KDA verify offsets across layers and pass strided verify inputs (kimi_kda_mixer.py, kimi_k3_mamba_metadata.py, modeling_glm5_next.py)

  • During MTP verification, every KDA layer gathered the accepted-draft counts of the generation requests and rebuilt the per-request token offsets, although the counts live in one buffer shared by all layers and only change after sampling. Glm5NextModel now computes (pending, cu_seqlens) once per forward and passes them to every KDA layer through KimiK3MambaMetadata.kda_verify_offsets. Layers compute their own when no model provides them, so Kimi is unchanged.
  • trtllm::kda_mtp_decode reads Q/K/V/beta through dynamic token strides, so the fused verify path now passes strided views of the fused projection instead of making four contiguous copies per layer.

2. Fuse the mHC boundaries in every batch phase (modeling_glm5_next.py)

  • mHC.fused_hc (post-mapping, pre-mapping and RMSNorm in one kernel) ran only for generation-only batches. The fused loop is phase-agnostic, so prefill and mixed batches now take it too, and the warmup pass measures the same path that mixed batches take.
  • The fused kernel rounds differently from the separate post-mapping, pre-mapping and RMSNorm ops, so prefill hidden states change at BF16 rounding level (up to about 1.6e-2 absolute on the same input). Decode already used this path.
  • GLM-5.3-Flash KDA layers get the attention aux stream, so their small gate projections overlap the QKV projection as in Kimi.

3. Use the BF16 router weight in the gate (modeling_glm5_next.py)

  • The checkpoint stores the router weight in BF16. Glm5NextGate widened the activations and the weight to FP32 for an F.linear on every MoE layer. It now keeps the weight in BF16 and uses the base DeepseekV3Gate GEMM with FP32 output, like the other DeepSeek-style gates. The correction bias stays FP32.
  • The router logits change at FP32 accumulation-order level, which can flip near-tied expert choices.

Commits 2 and 3 change numerics (fused mHC in prefill, BF16 router GEMM); commit 1 does not. GSM8K below covers both.

End-to-end: trtllm-serve at TP4/EP4, MTP3, BF16 KV cache, max_num_tokens 16384, max_seq_len 131072, chunked prefill, on 4x B200. aiperf with sonnet prompts, ignore_eos, temperature 0. Both builds use the same native libraries; only the Python changes differ. Medians over 6 rounds on main and 3-4 rounds with this PR, from separate server instances per build.

Gain is the improvement over main: the reduction for latencies, the increase for throughput.

Memory: unchanged or slightly better. Per GPU on main vs this PR: warmup peak 98.88 vs 98.81 GiB, KV cache 61.20 vs 61.25 GiB, PyTorch's dynamic allocation during inference 6.06 vs 5.86 GiB. The fused mHC boundary needs less transient memory than the separate post-mapping, pre-mapping and RMSNorm ops (0.63 vs 0.75 GiB at 16384 tokens). The last commit releases the expanded streams and each sublayer output as soon as the fused loop has consumed them; without it, the fused loop kept them alive longer than the per-layer loop and raised the allocation to 6.72 GiB. The end-to-end numbers above were measured before that commit, which changes no math.

Accuracy: GSM8K (accuracy/test_glm53_flash.py, TP4/EP4 on 4x B200) passes against the existing references.

Environment: B200, nvcr.io/nvidia/tensorrt-llm/release:1.3.0rc25 with a source build (PyTorch 2.12 nv26.05, CUDA 13.2, Triton 3.8.0). Measured on main 91c9b6d1cc; rebased onto ed87ab0b01.

Test Coverage

  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/test_kimi_kda_fused_verify_parity.py::test_fused_vs_sequential_two_rounds[...-layer-offsets|model-offsets]: the second round, which replays nonzero pending drafts, runs with offsets computed by the layer (Kimi) and with offsets precomputed for the forward (GLM-5.3-Flash). The fused path now consumes strided Q/K/V/beta, and both variants still match the sequential reference.
  • The file is in l0_b200.yml. tests/unittest/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/, test_glm5_next_contracts.py and test_kimi_linear_modeling.py pass locally on B200.

PR Checklist

Please review the following before submitting your PR:

  • PR description clearly explains what and why. If using CodeRabbit's summary, please make sure it makes sense.

  • PR Follows TRT-LLM CODING GUIDELINES to the best of your knowledge.

  • Test cases are provided for new code paths (see test instructions)

  • If PR introduces API changes, an appropriate PR label is added - either api-compatible or api-breaking. For api-breaking, include BREAKING in the PR title.

  • Any new dependencies have been scanned for license and vulnerabilities

  • CODEOWNERS updated if ownership changes

  • Documentation updated as needed

  • Update tava architecture diagram if there is a significant design change in PR.

  • The reviewers assigned automatically/manually are appropriate for the PR.

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

  • The model computes KDA verification offsets once per forward when suitable replay-cache state is available. KDA layers retain local offset computation when shared offsets are unavailable. Fused verification now uses strided Q/K/V views and avoids explicit contiguous copies.
  • The fused mHC path now supports prefill and mixed batches when all decoder layers are local and _fused_hc_ok() succeeds. Verify hidden-state changes and memory use; the objectives report prefill changes up to about 1.6e-2.
  • The router now uses BF16 weights with FP32 logits and correction bias. Verify expert selection for near-tied logits.
  • Constructors accept auxiliary-stream arguments, and the model creates and passes an attention auxiliary stream when CUDA is available. Verify call-site compatibility and behavior without CUDA.
  • The supplied CI reports are mixed: one run succeeded at the bot-job level while its L0 pipeline failed; another bot job and its L0 pipeline failed. No result is supplied for the final requested run. Reported performance and accuracy results are not independently verified here.

QA Engineer Review

  • Modified tests/unittest/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/test_kimi_kda_fused_verify_parity.py. Its two-round parity test covers fused-versus-sequential verification with layer-computed and model-precomputed offsets.
  • The test is listed in tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml and tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_gb300_multi_gpus.yml. No manual-QA listing was found.
  • The objectives report additional accuracy and local B200 coverage, but do not establish results for the final CI run.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up. The changed test covers KDA offset parity. Separate validation is needed for the changed mHC and router behavior.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_glm5_next.py — Verify shared KDA offsets and strided inputs, fused mHC behavior across batch phases, and auxiliary-stream creation and propagation. Check pipeline-parallel-pruned stacks and router expert selection.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/kimi_k3_mamba_metadata.py — Verify kda_verify_offsets resets to None on each prepare call and does not persist across forwards.
  • tensorrt_llm/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/kimi_kda_mixer.py — Verify supplied and locally computed offsets produce correct fused verification results. Check Q/K/V and beta layouts when contiguous copies are disabled.
  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/kimi_kda/test_kimi_kda_fused_verify_parity.py — Covers two-round fused-versus-sequential KDA verification with layer-computed and precomputed offsets. It is listed in the B200 and GB300 multi-GPU CI test lists.

Walkthrough

GLM-5.3-Flash prepares shared KDA verification offsets for eligible forwards. Fused verification accepts shared offsets and strided projection views. The decoder uses the fused hyper-connection path for supported batch phases and passes an attention auxiliary stream to linear-attention layers. The gate uses BF16 routing weights and FP32 correction bias.

Cover GLM offset production and consumption.

The parity test computes the offsets itself and calls forward_verify directly. It does not exercise Glm5NextForCausalLM._prepare_kda_verify_offsets. The MTP integration test checks only acceptance length, so a regression in GLM generation-slot selection or metadata propagation can pass. Add a focused GLM contract test that asserts the exact pending-count and kda_verify_cu_seqlens tuple reaches fused KDA verification.

Add a test for the BF16 router weight with FP32 logits.

Glm5NextGate now holds a BF16 weight and uses the base DeepseekV3Gate.forward instead of an FP32 linear. The PR description says this change can flip near-tied expert choices. Existing accuracy tests cover this only indirectly.

Add a small unit test in tests/unittest/_torch/models/ that checks two properties. First, the gate output is FP32 and has shape [T, n_experts]. Second, the top-k expert indices agree with an FP32 reference linear. Use inputs that are not near ties, or compare score values with a BF16-level tolerance.

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

The perf data is detailed, and splitting the work into one commit per change makes the numerics-changing parts easy to isolate.

Two whole-PR items:

  • Model-side offsets have no test. test_fused_vs_sequential_two_rounds[model-offsets] builds (pending, cu_seqlens) in the test with the same prev_num_accepted_tokens[slot_indices] expression the mixer uses, so it checks that the mixer accepts the tuple. It doesn't check that Glm5NextModel._prepare_kda_verify_offsets chooses the right slots. That helper has its own logic: generation_state_indices vs. the state_indices[num_contexts:...] fallback, mixed batches, and skipping pruned layers. A small unit test on a mixed context+generation metadata would cover it. One option is to compare the helper's output against what each layer would compute on its own.
  • Description vs. commits: the description says "three optimizations, one commit each", but the branch also has a separate test commit and a fourth perf commit ("Release consumed GLM-5.3-Flash mHC streams early in the fused loop", the del attn_out / del mlp_out and moving expand_streams into the fused loop). The memory paragraph mentions it in passing; list it with the others so the memory claim can be traced to its commit.

- Run the fused mHC boundaries (mHC.fused_hc) for every batch phase, not
  only generation-only batches. The fused loop is phase-agnostic, and the
  warmup pass now measures the same path that mixed batches take.
- Give GLM-5.3-Flash KDA layers the attention aux stream, so their small
  gate projections overlap the QKV projection as in Kimi.

The checkpoint stores the router weight in BF16. Keep it in BF16 and use
the base DeepseekV3Gate GEMM with FP32 output, as other DeepSeek-style
gates do, instead of widening the activations and weight to FP32. The
correction bias stays FP32.

…fused loop

The fused hyper-connection loop kept tensors alive longer than the
per-layer loop: forward held the expanded [tokens, hc_mult, hidden]
streams for the whole decoder stack, and each sublayer output stayed
referenced until the next sublayer had run. Since every batch phase
takes the fused loop, this raised the prefill activation peak measured
by warmup and shrank the KV cache. Expand the streams inside the fused
loop so only the running residual refers to them, and drop each
sublayer output once its boundary has consumed it. The math is
unchanged.
