Fixes #4283.

The existing checks cover the shape of the rdma matrix and its null diagonal, not
whether the pairs about to be used are present, so a hostfile whose rank order places
unconnected nodes beside each other passes and then leaves every rank alone in a
group of size one, reporting success. Same class as #4210.

missing_jaccl_links reports the pairs that are used but absent: for a ring each
rank's two neighbours, for a mesh every pair. With two ranks the previous and next
neighbour are the same node, which is harmless because the pair is simply examined
twice. The error names the hosts and says that for jaccl-ring the host order is the
ring order, since that is the mistake that produces it.

Checked against a live four node mesh: the misordered hostfile is now rejected, a
ring hostfile used as a mesh is rejected, and valid mesh and valid ring hostfiles
still run at 20.87 and 16.33 GB/s respectively. Six unit tests cover mesh, ring, the two rank
edge case and a ring that is deliberately not a mesh.

Both the code comment and error message are hard to comprehend, so it checks connected nodes must have rdma set in hostfile?

Yes, but it checks the pairs the chosen topology will actually use, not every connected pair. For jaccl-ring that is each rank's two neighbours; for the mesh it is every pair. So a hostfile can be a valid ring and an invalid mesh, which is one of the tests.

…uses

launch_jaccl checked the shape of the rdma matrix, its dimensions and its null
diagonal, but never whether the pairs the backend is about to communicate over
are actually in it. A hostfile whose rank order places unconnected nodes beside
each other passes both checks.

What follows is the worst failure available. The group does not fail to form
and it does not run slowly: every rank ends up alone in a group of size one,
reports success, and the job computes N separate wrong answers at full speed
with nothing on stderr. Verified on four M4 Pro minis wired as a full mesh,
where permuting two hosts in a working hostfile, rows and columns together so
the file stays internally consistent, produced four independent groups of one
and four 'membership OK' lines. This is the same class as ml-explore#4210, where a group
of size 1 counted as a successful init.

missing_jaccl_links reports the pairs that are used but absent: for a ring each
rank's two neighbours, for a mesh every pair. With two ranks the previous and
next neighbour are the same node, which is harmless because the pair is simply
examined twice. The error names the hosts and says that for jaccl-ring the host
order is the ring order, since that is the mistake that produces it.

Checked against the live mesh: the misordered hostfile is now rejected, and
valid mesh and valid ring hostfiles still run at 20.87 and 16.33 GB/s.

* Bound Metal buffer COUNT, not just bytes, in MetalAllocator

The Metal allocator throws `[metal::malloc] Resource limit (N) exceeded`
when num_resources_ (the live+cached Metal buffer COUNT) reaches
resource_limit_ (the iogpu.rsrc_limit sysctl, default ~499000). Freed
buffers are recycled into a size-keyed cache whose only trim is by BYTES
(release_cached_buffers takes a bytes-to-free target, max_pool_size_ ~=
physical RAM). Under churn with many distinct buffer shapes (varied prompt
lengths, growing KV caches, multiple co-resident models) the cache fills
with entries never reused at that exact size, so the COUNT climbs to the
limit while byte usage stays modest and the byte trim never fires — the
process crashes mid-inference on a machine with most of its RAM free.

malloc() now also reclaims by count: when num_resources_ crosses a 90%
high-water mark of resource_limit_, it clears the (pure-reuse) buffer
cache so the count drops back to the live working set. Clearing the cache
only costs re-allocation, never correctness, so the count limit becomes
unreachable by any request mix or batching method while the existing byte
limits keep total memory bounded.

Adds get_num_resources()/get_resource_limit() to the public memory API
(metal + no_gpu + cuda backends) so the count and its ceiling are
observable from callers. Adds an MLX_RESOURCE_LIMIT env override that can
only LOWER the ceiling (clamped to the OS limit, strictly validated) to
exercise the trim deterministically and as an operator safety valve.

* perf(mlx): opt-in Gemma 4 expert-QMM tile kernel with parallel descriptor builder (#4)

* perf(mlx): add opt-in Gemma 4 expert-QMM tile kernel with parallel descriptor builder

Adds a distinctly-named expert QMM implementation for the Gemma 4
26B-A4B MoE production shapes, gated by MLX_GATHER_QMM_EXPERT_SLICES:

- qmm_t_expert_impl: BM32 expert tile body (BM16 fallback rows) taking a
  private/by-value row count; the shared qmm_t_impl constant-address ABI
  and all ordinary gathered/batched/dense QMM routes are unchanged.
- build_gemma4_sorted_expert_tiles_bm32: one 128-thread threadgroup
  replaces the reference design's single-GPU-thread serial builder;
  parallel expert-range binary search, Hillis-Steele scan, and strided
  upper-bound descriptor emission.
- Selector runs after the NAX-first route and requires affine BF16
  transposed inputs, 4-bit gs=64 weights, 128 experts, assignment counts
  of exactly 4096/8192/16384, and the exact gate/up or down rank-3
  shapes; every miss keeps the legacy route. NAX engagement is
  non-engagement, never bypassed.
- device.{h,cpp}: one-shot request resolution, nonthrowing dual-symbol
  AOT probe/prewarm, relaxed-atomic diagnostics (requested, aotAvailable,
  naxAvailable, hits, per-class fallbacks).
- gpu_tests: exact-shape arithmetic parity, fallback, and counter
  invariant probes.

Retention standing (2026-08-09 production matrix): opt-in experiment.
Standalone profile dropped (prefill -10.2% vs bracket); paired
weighted-unsort+R1 profile retained-final (prefill +1.8%, TTFT -7.5%,
decode +3.3%, arrival E2E +12.0%). NOTE: this source post-dates the
benchmarked binaries/metallib (post-measurement kernel-body edit);
rebuild and re-verify before any performance claim.

* fix(mlx): fail-safe sortedness check in gemma expert tile builder; counter/atomic hygiene

Review-wave fixes for the R1 expert-QMM path:

- N1 (sortedness trust): build_gemma4_sorted_expert_tiles_bm32 now
  verifies each thread's post-binary-search segment boundary against the
  generalized invariant indices[start - 1] < lid <= indices[start]
  (edge threads check their single neighbor), votes per simdgroup via
  simd_or, folds the votes through threadgroup memory, and on any
  violation retracts count[0] to 0 (tile kernel then early-returns) and
  records the violation in count[1]; the buffer ABI is unchanged
  (count index 1 was previously unused). try_gemma4_expert_qmm allocates
  the second count element, drains the encoder after the builder, and
  re-routes a retracted call to the order-agnostic legacy path instead of
  dispatching the tile kernel (zero count is unambiguous: the selector's
  assignment gate guarantees M is 4096/8192/16384).
- N2 (route-condition duplication): the sorted-RHS gate literal that
  appeared (negated) in the diagnostics record and in the dispatch
  decision is now the shared static constexpr predicate
  takes_sorted_rhs_route, so future tuning of the 16/4 thresholds cannot
  desynchronize counter vs route.
- N3 (per-call bias normalization): gather_qmm_rhs no longer spends
  ensure_row_contiguous on biases before classification reads the raw
  tensor's fields; normalization runs only inside the winning-route
  branch (hit semantics unchanged; the legacy block keeps its own
  normalization point and ordering).
- N4 (armed_ data race): Gemma4ExpertQMMCounters::armed_ is now
  std::atomic<bool> with relaxed loads/stores in armed(), snapshot(),
  snapshot_and_disarm() (read-then-write order preserved) and
  clear_and_arm(); the class remains non-copyable, now enforced.

* fix(mlx): make the R1 sortedness fail-safe sound; proper retract attribution

F1: the per-expert boundary vote was a partial detector -- an inversion
inside a segment used by no other expert's boundary could escape, so
"re-route on any violation" overclaimed. build_gemma4_sorted_expert_tiles_bm32
now also runs a strided adjacent-pair scan: thread lid checks
indices[i-1] <= indices[i] for i = lid+1; i < M; i += 128, covering every
adjacent pair in [1, M) exactly once (1..128 iterations at the reachable
M in {4096,8192,16384}). Adjacent-pair monotonicity is transitive, so a
clean scan is a sound and complete sortedness oracle; it folds into the
same simd_or/threadgroup vote and the same retract (count[0]=0, count[1]=1).
The boundary checks stay as cheap, precise diagnostics.

F2: retracts were write-only in count[1] and surfaced as
fallback_metallib_unavailable -- misattribution in the only observable
surface. A dedicated fallback_sortedness_retracted counter now rides the
GemmA4 route counters and the C diagnostics ABI
(sizeof 80 -> 88, new uint64 at offset 80; existing offsets unchanged).
try_gemma4_expert_qmm returns the route class: count[0]==0 with count[1]==1
records fallback_sortedness_retracted, any other unusable build keeps
fallback_metallib_unavailable, then re-routes to the legacy path as before.

F4: new doctest drives the full armed() -> clear_and_arm() ->
snapshot_and_disarm() cycle and the attempts == hits + fallbacks invariant
including the new class; the route-table and counter-invariant tests now
cover fallback_sortedness_retracted.

Verified: cmake tests 262/262 + 3550 assertions pass; metal -Wall -Wextra
-fno-fast-math compile of kernels/quantized.metal is warning-free.

* docs(forkdiff): move the base to upstream c6abf0d after the merge

Set base.hash to the new merge-base. Remove the v0.32.2 sync section
and the gather_mm row-tile backport section, because upstream now has
those changes. Keep the revert of the ml-explore#4352 simdgroup skip in its own
section. Reduce the floor_divide section to the tests the fork keeps.
Add the re-deleted bypass-list workflow and scripts to Fork tooling.

Keep the revert of the ml-explore#4352 simdgroup skip in fp_gather_qmm_rhs_nax
and affine_gather_qmm_rhs_nax. The merge had taken upstream's
sg_active guard there.

State the new upstream sync policy in FORKDIFF.md: merge upstream
when David directs it, and move base.hash at each merge.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: repair the merge in the quantized kernels and the lint

The merge put upstream's new "typename U = T" template parameter on
the fork's qmm_t_expert_impl instead of qmm_t_impl. Move it back.

fp_gather_qmv_fast_tail now calls adjust_matrix_offsets with the
global scale, as upstream's fp_gather_qmv_fast does.

Remove the extra closing brace that the previous commit put in
affine_gather_qmm_rhs_nax. The kernel body is again the fork's body.

Import numpy in test_fast_sdpa.py again. Upstream removed the import,
and the fork's FP32-partials tests use it. Wrap the long lines in
check_forkdiff.py for the ruff E501 rule that upstream turned on.

Remove the PR #15 bias-sum sentence from fork.yaml: upstream now
promotes the bias-sum operands itself (ml-explore#4516).

* test: follow the upstream allocator and gather_qmm APIs in fork tests

Upstream allocator::malloc now returns an owning allocator::Data, and
allocator::free is gone. The fork's snapshot and footprint tests need
explicit release points, so they use allocator::allocator().malloc and
free, as upstream's own allocator tests do.

Upstream gather_qmm takes a global_scale argument before
sorted_indices. Pass std::nullopt in the GPT-OSS MXFP4 tests.

* fix(cpu): floor_divide of min by -1 must not trap

Upstream's FloorDivide divides the minimum signed value by -1 on the
CPU. The quotient overflows, and on x86 the division traps (SIGFPE).
The fork test "test floor_divide integer edge cases on the CPU"
crashed in the Fedora x86_64 job.

Divide by 1 there instead, as the PR #32 functors did. The result
wraps to min. Describe the guard in the floor_divide section of
fork.yaml.

* Compute the JACCL ring wire offsets in 64 bits

CodeQL (cpp/integer-multiplication-cast-to-long) flagged the ring's wire
offset expressions on PR 38: `lr * n_wires` is an `int` product that is
widened to 64 bits only after the multiplication. The same pattern is in
three ring_impl.h loops and in the two `size_ * 2 * n_conns_` thresholds in
ring.cpp. Widen the first operand to int64_t so every product is computed
in 64 bits. The operands are small, so results do not change. fork.yaml
describes the new fork change.

* Compute the vector SDPA query layout check in 64 bits

CodeQL (cpp/integer-multiplication-cast-to-long, alert 29) fails the PR 38
check on the vector SDPA query layout test: `shape[3] * shape[bidx]` is an
`int` product compared with a 64-bit stride. Widen `shape[3]` to int64_t.
The shapes are small, so the result does not change. The fork.yaml section
for the JACCL ring fix now covers this file too.

* ci: skip the 4 GiB reduce test where the runner cannot hold it

Upstream's test_init_reduce_large_output (ml-explore#4437) makes a 4 GiB boolean
output. The fork CI runs on a GitHub-hosted macOS runner with a
3.5 GiB Metal buffer limit and 7 GB of memory. On the GPU the
allocation fails; on the CPU it competes with the other test files
for memory. Skip the test when the default device cannot hold the
output. Machines with more memory still run it.

When a CPU test file fails, print the end of its log at once. The job
of the previous run was stopped before the full logs printed, so the
cause of the test_eval failure on the CPU is not known.

* Widen affine qmv_wide row tiles to 8 (ml-explore#4728)

* Fix/padding jvp vjp (ml-explore#4736)

* fix: qqmm refuses a global scale on the CPU; adapt GPU-path tests

The CPU QQMatmul kernel has no global scale input and ignores the
scales that qqmm passes to it. qqmm with global scales on a CPU stream
returned a wrong result with no error: in the fork CPU test pass,
test_fp_qmv_fast_unaligned_n_global_scale differed by about 1000.
qqmm now raises "Global scale is only supported on the GPU" on a
stream that is not a GPU stream, as gather_qmm already does.

Upstream tests that check only GPU kernels failed in the CPU pass:
test_sdpa_vector_2pass_threadgroup_limit (force_fused=True),
test_fp_qmv_fast_unaligned_n_global_scale,
test_qqmm_global_scale_matrix_kernels and
test_gather_qmm_global_scale. When the default device is the CPU,
they now check that the documented error is raised. The GPU pass runs
them as before.

runs the failing case of test_fp_gather_qmm_non_multiple_of_32
(K=512, N=1040, transpose=False, sorted, float32) on the CPU with a
fresh allocator, after a warm-up that fills the allocator cache with
NaN buffers, and with the buffer cache off, and on the GPU. It prints
NaN counts per expert for w, w_hat, y_q and y_hat. The step has
continue-on-error, so the full test suite still runs. The next push
removes it.

State in fork.yaml when test_init_reduce_large_output skips, why it
cannot be smaller (ml-explore#4437), and that David ruled on 2026-10-23 to keep
the skip.

* ci: move the CPU NaN diagnostic to its own short job

Remove the temporary diagnostic step from metal-build-and-test. Its
reimplementation found no NaN in any mode.

Add a temporary job, diag-cpu-nan, that builds the wheel and runs only
the diagnostic, so its log is ready after the build. It runs the real
test_fp_gather_qmm_non_multiple_of_32 alone, then after the tests that
come before it, and an instrumented copy of the test body (only the
failing case, and all cases in the test order, each evaluated as one
graph). The findings also go to ::notice annotations. The next push
removes the job.

* ci: install numpy for the temporary NaN diagnostic job

The tests import numpy through mlx_tests. The diagnostic job installed
only the wheel, so every run stopped at the import.

* fix(cpu): clear C before the BLAS matmul when beta is 0

test_fp_gather_qmm_non_multiple_of_32 (K=512, N=1040, sorted,
float32) gave NaN on the CPU. The diagnostic job found the NaN only in
the reference y_hat = x @ w_sel, a batched matmul with M = 1. Its
inputs had no NaN. The test failed alone too, but only after the
earlier subtests of the same test: y_hat is 266240 bytes, the same
size as the packed fp4 weights of the previous subtest, so the output
reused that buffer from the allocator cache. Accelerate read C even
with beta = 0 and computed NaN * 0.

Fill C with zeros before cblas_sgemm, cblas_dgemm and cblas_cgemm
when beta is 0. MLX's own SIMD gemm already skips C when beta is 0.

Remove the temporary diagnostic job.

* fix(cpu): clear C at every BLAS gemm call with beta 0

The previous commit cleared C only in the gemms/cblas.cpp wrappers.
Four more call sites call cblas_sgemm directly with beta 0:
BlockMaskedMM and GatherMM (the CPU MoE gathered matmul) in
masked_mm.cpp, and the two explicit-gemm convolutions in conv.cpp.
They can give the same NaN * 0 from a reused output buffer.

Add one helper, clear_gemm_output in gemm.h, that fills the exact C
region of a call (rows by columns, with its ldc) with zeros. Use it at
all five call sites, the wrappers included. No other BLAS gemm or gemv
call exists in the CPU backend.

* ci: build once and run the Metal and CPU test passes in parallel

Split the fork-tests job into parallel jobs. build-wheel and build-cpp
build in parallel. build-cpp also runs the C++ tests on the GPU and on
the CPU. python-gpu (3 shards) and python-cpu (4 shards) run the Python
tests from the uploaded wheel. metal-build-and-test merges the coverage
profiles of all jobs, writes the same coverage report, and fails when
another job failed.

python_shards.py checks the shard map: each python/tests/test*.py file
must be in each pass exactly one time. Split files must partition their
test IDs. The last job fails when a test ran in two shards.

fork-build-cache restores and saves ccache on pull requests and on main,
and keeps a cache of the compiled Metal kernels through an xcrun wrapper
keyed on the preprocessed source, the arguments and the toolchain.

* ci: split the long CPU test files and skip cache saves with no misses

Split test_fast_sdpa and test_quantized into named tests and rest
entries in the CPU shards, so that no CPU shard has an entry longer than
test_gated_delta_sequential. Put the entries in longest-first order.

Save the ccache files and the Metal kernel cache only when the build had
misses.

* ci: key the build caches on compiler versions, not the runner image

The full --version text of clang and metal names the install folder and
the OS, and it changed between three macos-26 runner images, so every
job started from an empty cache. Key ccache on the clang major.minor
version and fall back to a cache of another clang version; ccache keeps
compiler_check=content. Key the Metal kernel cache on the metal compiler
version and the kernels hash, and fall back only to a cache of the same
metal compiler. Each Metal entry key holds the first line of the metal
--version text and the SDK build.

* Add array::is_uniquely_referenced for the fork C API

Upstream 5dbe999 (ml-explore#4634) makes is_donatable() also require that MLX owns
the buffer, so the allocator never reuses a wrapped external buffer. The
fork's mlx-c buffer-info API reported `unique` from is_donatable(), and
mlx-swift-lm uses that as a "no other reference" proof for paged KV
segments, checkpoint memory accounting and MTP state, including wrapped
host pages, which now always read as not unique.

Add is_uniquely_referenced(): the same reference-count test without the
ownership test. is_donatable() and donation behavior do not change.

* fix: async_eval must not throw a stream task error

test_eval.test_async_eval_error_in_synchronize (upstream ml-explore#4338) failed
on some runs of the fork's CPU test pass: mx.async_eval raised the
LU factorization error that the test expects only from
mx.synchronize.

Cause: StreamThread::enqueue throws the stream's stored error when it
runs on the main thread (ml-explore#3742). async_eval enqueues several tasks.
When the stream thread finishes the failing task before async_eval
enqueues the next one, that enqueue throws. The order depends on
thread timing, so the failure is intermittent. The fork does not
change this path.

async_eval now holds a scheduler::DeferStreamErrors guard. While it
lives, enqueue on that thread does not throw the stored error, and
synchronize throws it later. eval does not change.

Add a C++ test that stores the error before async_eval, so it fails
on every run without the fix.

* ci: run the Python tests in 2 GPU and 3 CPU shards

The hosted macOS runners are a shared pool. Pack the GPU pass into 2
shards and the CPU pass into 3 shards, balanced by the durations that
run 39902948153 measured. A run now uses 8 macOS jobs, and at most 6 run
at the same time (before: 10 jobs, 8 at the same time).

* ci: give the NAX kernels Metal cache hits and lighten CPU shard 0

The preprocessed source of the NAX kernels names the Metal toolchain
mount folder, which has a random suffix on each runner. The 10 NAX
kernels missed the Metal cache in every warm build (41 of 51 hits).
Remove the suffix from the text that the key hashes, and keep the
toolchain version.

CPU shard 0 was the slowest shard in the cold and warm runs of b72420d
(651 s and 470 s of tests). Move test_quantized:rest to CPU shard 1
(221 s).

* docs(forkdiff): move the base to upstream afc03c5

Set base.hash to the new merge-base after the merge of the 9 upstream
commits. No fork section changes: the merge has no conflict, and each
merged file gets exactly upstream's change.
