[None][feat] Add SeaCache step caching for Cosmos3 - #21288
SeaCache adds opt-in step caching for Cosmos3 base checkpoints. The public SeaCacheConfig uses a default threshold of 0.25 and a default limit of two consecutive cached steps. The controller filters latent inputs, tracks relative change, and predicts skipped outputs from prior generator-stack residuals. The accelerator selects eligible denoising steps and uses uncached execution for unsupported inputs or configurations.
The change adds SeaCache to the cache-config union, public exports, serve schema, pipeline setup, and VisualGen documentation. The Cosmos3 transformer refactor extracts generator-stack execution into _run_gen_stack for accelerator integration. These additions introduce a new cache path; the supplied evidence does not establish changes to default uncached behavior.
The documented constraints include single-GPU base checkpoints. Single-frame requests and requests with audio, action, or transfer controls run uncached. The objectives also identify untested areas, including multi-GPU, distilled and FP8 checkpoints, Edge, and V2V quality. Current review findings and test results for the final merged head were not supplied.
QA Engineer Review
The change adds test_seacache.py and test_cosmos3_seacache.py, and modifies test_visual_gen_args.py and test_trtllm_serve_config_schemas.py. The B200 CI list includes the Cosmos3 integration test. The CPU CI list includes the controller unit test. No manual-QA list change is reported.
The tests cover filter and prediction behavior, cache-state handling, accelerator setup and cleanup, unsupported-input fallbacks, Cosmos3 request isolation and recovery, and config and schema validation. The objectives report validation on an earlier build, but say the merged head was not run locally on a GPU. Multi-GPU, distilled and FP8 checkpoints, Edge, and V2V quality remain uncovered. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Description
Adds SeaCache (arXiv 2602.18993) as a third VisualGen step-caching backend, enabled for
Cosmos3 base checkpoints. It is opt-in and off by default:
cache_config:
cache_backend: seacachethreshold: 0.25# defaultmax_warmup_steps: 12# default; leading steps that always runmax_continuous_cached_steps: 2# default; -1 removes the limit, 0 disables caching
On each denoising step SeaCache decides whether the Cosmos3 generator transformer stack must run. It filters the
noisy input latents with the SEA spectral filter for the step's noise level, accumulates the relative L1 change of the
filtered latents since the last computed step, and skips the stack while that change stays below threshold. A
skipped step predicts the stack's output residual by linear extrapolation from the last two computed steps. The first max_warmup_steps steps (at least one) and the last step always run, and at most max_continuous_cached_steps steps
are skipped in a row. The cap follows Cache-DiT's max_continuous_cached_steps (-1 unlimited, 0 never caches), and the
warm-up its max_warmup_steps.
Changes:
SeaCacheConfig (public, tensorrt_llm.visual_gen) joins the cache_config discriminated union next to TeaCache
and Cache-DiT; the VisualGen serve schema is regenerated.
cache/seacache.py: filter, indicator distance, skip decision and residual extrapolation (SeaCacheController).
cache/seacache_accelerator.py: wraps the Cosmos3 generator stack. Rejected at load: multi-GPU parallelism, CUDA
graphs, CPU offloading, a checkpoint per-step precision policy, distilled checkpoints, schedulers without sigmas.
Run uncached per request: single-frame (image) generation and requests with audio, action or transfer controls.
Cache state is reset at the start of every generation, and its tensors are released when the denoising loop ends,
including when a request fails.
transformer_cosmos3.py: the generator-stack loop moves into _run_gen_stack (code motion only; with caching off the
output is unchanged, see below).
Docs: SeaCache section and feature-table column in docs/source/models/visual-generation.md.
Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_seacache.py (CPU, l0_cpu.yml): filter gain, skip decision (first/last step,
warm-up, cap including -1 and 0, accumulation), exact linear extrapolation, state reset, accelerator wiring,
unsupported setups and per-request fallbacks.
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_cosmos3_seacache.py (B200, l0_b200.yml): real Cosmos3-Nano pipeline with a
fixed skip pattern. T2V, I2V, a single-frame request (uncached) and T2V again: the repeated T2V request is
bit-identical and skips the same steps. A request that fails mid-denoising leaves no cache state or tensors behind,
and the next request is bit-identical to a clean run; this recovery check also runs on a pipeline loaded with
torch.compile on, after confirming its warm-up compiled the generator blocks SeaCache wraps. With the default config,
a 35-step request must skip a number of steps within 1 of the value recorded on a B200 (13), none of them in the
warm-up.
test_visual_gen_args.py and tests/unittest/llmapi/test_trtllm_serve_config_schemas.py: accepted/rejected config
values (defaults, -1/0/positive caps, cap below -1, negative warm-up, non-positive threshold, unknown fields including
the earlier max_consecutive_cached_steps name, round trip).
Local validation (1x B200, CI image of 687359e2). The GPU evaluation runs used this change together with #20984
(sigma grid selection), which adds the sigma_grid request option used for the framework-grid rows below:
Caching off: Cosmos3-Nano T2V and I2V (189 frames, 35 steps, torch.compile on) are byte-identical to an unmodified 687359e2 build on the same GPU.
GPU suites: test_cosmos3_transformer.py 51, test_cosmos3_pipeline.py 95, test_cosmos3_transfer.py 81 passed.
SeaCache tests with this PR's SeaCache sources and tests: test_seacache.py 30 and test_cosmos3_seacache.py
3 passed (eager isolation, eager recovery, compiled recovery).
CPU on an earlier head of this PR (dcfc814a) with a build of the main it was merged with: the SeaCache, args, TeaCache, Cache-DiT, Cosmos3
step-precision/guardrails/transfer/pipeline and serve-schema suites give 545 passed; the only failures are
environment-only (NVENC and CUDA timers on a CPU-only host). generate_trtllm_serve_schemas.py --check passes.
The GPU tests above ran on the 687359e2 build. On this PR's head (6f8f4b1a, built in its own CI image), the
SeaCache GPU tests pass: test_seacache.py 36, test_cosmos3_seacache.py 4 (incl. the default-config count) and test_visual_gen_args.py 123; the SeaCache, args and serve-schema CPU suites pass and generate_trtllm_serve_schemas.py --check passes. The other Cosmos3 GPU suites were not rerun on this head.
The serve schema accepts a cache_config without cache_backend (as it already does for TeaCache and Cache-DiT); [None][fix] Require the tag of tagged unions in the serve config schemas #21416 fixes that in the generator for every tagged union. Whichever of the two PRs lands second regenerates the
VisualGen snapshot and adds the SeaCache missing-tag rejection case.
Quality and speed. Setup: Cosmos3-Nano and Cosmos3-Super checkpoints, 1x B200, 1280x720, 189 frames, 35 steps, CFG 6,
VANILLA attention, torch.compile on. Each cached run is compared with an uncached run with identical inputs, seed and
settings, on the same GPU in the same job. LPIPS (AlexNet) on the decoded MP4s. Nano rows cover 3 prompts x 3 seeds:
the reference recipe prompt (T2V "A robot arm is cleaning a plate in the kitchen", seed 123; I2V "The scene comes to
life with smooth, natural motion." on the checkpoint's example image, seed 1111), the checkpoint's example prompt, and examples/visual_gen/models/cosmos3/prompts/{t2v,i2v}.json, each with seeds 42 and 7 as well. Speed-up is the ratio
of mean generation times (one warm-up, then 3 timed runs per request); the table shows median [min–max] over the 9
requests.

The warm-up default comes from an ablation on the Karras grid with the same 9 requests per mode and warm-ups 0, 4, 8,
12 and 16 (threshold 0.25, cap 2). LPIPS medians: T2V 0.385 / 0.391 / 0.308 / 0.179 / 0.093, I2V 0.201 / 0.156 /

1.41×. 12 is the smallest warm-up whose median is at or below the median of the compile on/off reference values below
(0.268 T2V, 0.151 I2V) for both modes. With
warm-up 0 the outputs are byte-identical to the earlier runs without the option.
For reference, two uncached runs of the recipe request that differ only in torch.compile (on vs off) give LPIPS, across
the three recipe seeds: framework grid 0.184–0.268 (T2V) and 0.123–0.138 (I2V); Karras 0.198–0.325 (T2V) and
0.146–0.159 (I2V). These cover the recipe prompt only. Without a warm-up, SeaCache skips early high-noise steps on the
Karras grid, which can change the scene composition, and the Karras medians are above those ranges; with the default
12-step warm-up they are at or below them, as are the framework-grid medians without a warm-up. Cosmos3-Super (recipe prompt
and seed only, 3 timed runs, warm-up 0): LPIPS 0.506 / 0.260 (T2V Karras / framework grid) and 0.157 / 0.115 (I2V);
generation speed-up 2.03× / 1.92× (T2V) and 2.02× / 1.91× (I2V).

Add SeaCache (arXiv 2602.18993) as a VisualGen step-caching backend,
enabled for Cosmos3 base checkpoints and off by default
(cache_config: {cache_backend: seacache}).
Each denoising step filters the noisy input latents with the SEA
spectral filter for the step's noise level and accumulates the relative
L1 change of the filtered latents since the last computed step. While
the change stays below the threshold (default 0.25), the generator
transformer stack is skipped and its output residual is predicted by
linear extrapolation from the last two computed steps. The first and
last steps always run, and at most max_consecutive_cached_steps
(default 2) steps are skipped in a row.
Multi-GPU parallelism, CUDA graphs, CPU offloading, per-step precision
policies and distilled checkpoints are rejected at load. Single-frame
generation and requests with audio, action or transfer controls run
uncached. The Cosmos3 generator-stack loop moves into _run_gen_stack;
with caching off the output is unchanged.

Use the smallest listed 16:9 Cosmos3 bucket for this pre-merge test.
The two tests issue seven checkpoint-backed calls at 720×1280. The Cosmos3 table lists a 256-level 16:9 bucket at 320×192. The assertions cover cache decisions, output shape, request isolation, and cleanup, not 720p behavior. Using 320×192 can reduce B200 CI work while exercising the same paths. This is an advisory optimization, not a mandatory correctness fix.

The real Cosmos3 SeaCache test uses threshold=1e6, so it does not exercise the threshold decision. It checks cache behavior and output validity, but not visual quality. The generic SeaCache tests cover threshold decisions with synthetic data, not real T2V or I2V output.
Add cached-versus-uncached T2V and I2V comparisons using the default or a realistic SeaCache threshold and an explicit LPIPS limit. This is a coverage improvement, not evidence of a current major functional failure.

Run the failed-request recovery check on a pipeline loaded with
torch.compile enabled as well as in eager mode. The compiled case checks
that the generator blocks SeaCache wraps are the compiled modules, injects
a failure mid-denoising, checks the cache state and tensors are released,
and that the next request reproduces a successful reference exactly. The
eager and compiled pipelines use class-scoped fixtures so they are never
resident at the same time.

Add SeaCacheConfig.max_warmup_steps: the first N denoising steps always
run the full stack. On the Karras grid that Cosmos3 T2V and I2V use by
default, skipping early high-noise steps can change the scene
composition. The default of 12 is the smallest warm-up whose median
LPIPS against uncached runs is at or below the compile on/off reference
for both modes in an ablation over warm-ups 0, 4, 8, 12 and 16; it
lowers the generation speed-up from about 1.9x to 1.5x.
Rename max_consecutive_cached_steps to max_continuous_cached_steps with
Cache-DiT's convention: -1 removes the limit and 0 disables caching.
Add a real-pipeline test that the number of cached steps at the default
config stays within one step of the value recorded on a B200.

Dev Engineer Review
SeaCache adds opt-in step caching for Cosmos3 base checkpoints. The public
SeaCacheConfiguses a default threshold of0.25and a default limit of two consecutive cached steps. The controller filters latent inputs, tracks relative change, and predicts skipped outputs from prior generator-stack residuals. The accelerator selects eligible denoising steps and uses uncached execution for unsupported inputs or configurations.The change adds SeaCache to the cache-config union, public exports, serve schema, pipeline setup, and VisualGen documentation. The Cosmos3 transformer refactor extracts generator-stack execution into
_run_gen_stackfor accelerator integration. These additions introduce a new cache path; the supplied evidence does not establish changes to default uncached behavior.The documented constraints include single-GPU base checkpoints. Single-frame requests and requests with audio, action, or transfer controls run uncached. The objectives also identify untested areas, including multi-GPU, distilled and FP8 checkpoints, Edge, and V2V quality. Current review findings and test results for the final merged head were not supplied.
QA Engineer Review
The change adds
test_seacache.pyandtest_cosmos3_seacache.py, and modifiestest_visual_gen_args.pyandtest_trtllm_serve_config_schemas.py. The B200 CI list includes the Cosmos3 integration test. The CPU CI list includes the controller unit test. No manual-QA list change is reported.The tests cover filter and prediction behavior, cache-state handling, accelerator setup and cleanup, unsupported-input fallbacks, Cosmos3 request isolation and recovery, and config and schema validation. The objectives report validation on an earlier build, but say the merged head was not run locally on a GPU. Multi-GPU, distilled and FP8 checkpoints, Edge, and V2V quality remain uncovered. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Adds SeaCache (arXiv 2602.18993) as a third VisualGen step-caching backend, enabled for
Cosmos3 base checkpoints. It is opt-in and off by default:
On each denoising step SeaCache decides whether the Cosmos3 generator transformer stack must run. It filters the
noisy input latents with the SEA spectral filter for the step's noise level, accumulates the relative L1 change of the
filtered latents since the last computed step, and skips the stack while that change stays below
threshold. Askipped step predicts the stack's output residual by linear extrapolation from the last two computed steps. The first
max_warmup_stepssteps (at least one) and the last step always run, and at mostmax_continuous_cached_stepsstepsare skipped in a row. The cap follows Cache-DiT's
max_continuous_cached_steps(-1 unlimited, 0 never caches), and thewarm-up its
max_warmup_steps.Changes:
SeaCacheConfig(public,tensorrt_llm.visual_gen) joins thecache_configdiscriminated union next to TeaCacheand Cache-DiT; the VisualGen serve schema is regenerated.
cache/seacache.py: filter, indicator distance, skip decision and residual extrapolation (SeaCacheController).cache/seacache_accelerator.py: wraps the Cosmos3 generator stack. Rejected at load: multi-GPU parallelism, CUDAgraphs, CPU offloading, a checkpoint per-step precision policy, distilled checkpoints, schedulers without sigmas.
Run uncached per request: single-frame (image) generation and requests with audio, action or transfer controls.
Cache state is reset at the start of every generation, and its tensors are released when the denoising loop ends,
including when a request fails.
transformer_cosmos3.py: the generator-stack loop moves into_run_gen_stack(code motion only; with caching off theoutput is unchanged, see below).
docs/source/models/visual-generation.md.Test Coverage
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_seacache.py(CPU,l0_cpu.yml): filter gain, skip decision (first/last step,warm-up, cap including -1 and 0, accumulation), exact linear extrapolation, state reset, accelerator wiring,
unsupported setups and per-request fallbacks.
tests/unittest/_torch/visual_gen/test_cosmos3_seacache.py(B200,l0_b200.yml): real Cosmos3-Nano pipeline with afixed skip pattern. T2V, I2V, a single-frame request (uncached) and T2V again: the repeated T2V request is
bit-identical and skips the same steps. A request that fails mid-denoising leaves no cache state or tensors behind,
and the next request is bit-identical to a clean run; this recovery check also runs on a pipeline loaded with
torch.compile on, after confirming its warm-up compiled the generator blocks SeaCache wraps. With the default config,
a 35-step request must skip a number of steps within 1 of the value recorded on a B200 (13), none of them in the
warm-up.

Quality and speed. Setup: Cosmos3-Nano and Cosmos3-Super checkpoints, 1x B200, 1280x720, 189 frames, 35 steps, CFG 6,
VANILLA attention, torch.compile on. Each cached run is compared with an uncached run with identical inputs, seed and
settings, on the same GPU in the same job. LPIPS (AlexNet) on the decoded MP4s. Nano rows cover 3 prompts x 3 seeds:
the reference recipe prompt (T2V "A robot arm is cleaning a plate in the kitchen", seed 123; I2V "The scene comes to
life with smooth, natural motion." on the checkpoint's example image, seed 1111), the checkpoint's example prompt, and
examples/visual_gen/models/cosmos3/prompts/{t2v,i2v}.json, each with seeds 42 and 7 as well. Speed-up is the ratioof mean generation times (one warm-up, then 3 timed runs per request); the table shows median [min–max] over the 9
requests.
max_warmup_steps*
sigma_grid: native,flow_shift: 10, available once #20984 lands; measured withmax_warmup_steps: 0only.† One timed run per request (the other rows: 3).
The warm-up default comes from an ablation on the Karras grid with the same 9 requests per mode and warm-ups 0, 4, 8,
12 and 16 (threshold 0.25, cap 2). LPIPS medians: T2V 0.385 / 0.391 / 0.308 / 0.179 / 0.093, I2V 0.201 / 0.156 /
0.160 / 0.127 / 0.097; generation speed-up T2V 1.95 / 1.77 / 1.61 / 1.48 / 1.37×, I2V 1.92 / 1.83 / 1.66 / 1.53 /
1.41×. 12 is the smallest warm-up whose median is at or below the median of the compile on/off reference values below
(0.268 T2V, 0.151 I2V) for both modes. With
warm-up 0 the outputs are byte-identical to the earlier runs without the option.
For reference, two uncached runs of the recipe request that differ only in torch.compile (on vs off) give LPIPS, across
the three recipe seeds: framework grid 0.184–0.268 (T2V) and 0.123–0.138 (I2V); Karras 0.198–0.325 (T2V) and
0.146–0.159 (I2V). These cover the recipe prompt only. Without a warm-up, SeaCache skips early high-noise steps on the
Karras grid, which can change the scene composition, and the Karras medians are above those ranges; with the default
12-step warm-up they are at or below them, as are the framework-grid medians without a warm-up. Cosmos3-Super (recipe prompt
and seed only, 3 timed runs, warm-up 0): LPIPS 0.506 / 0.260 (T2V Karras / framework grid) and 0.157 / 0.115 (I2V);
generation speed-up 2.03× / 1.92× (T2V) and 2.02× / 1.91× (I2V).

index of LPIPS and speed-up: Cosmos-Seacache folder (NVIDIA-internal;
SeaCache-E4-videos.zipandINDEX.txt).Not covered: multi-GPU, distilled and FP8 checkpoints, Edge, V2V quality, Super and the framework grid with the
12-step warm-up.
