What does this PR do?

Adds SFT support for MiniMax M3 (MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3, model_type=minimax_m3_vl, MiniMaxM3SparseForConditionalGeneration) on the pinned transformers==5.16.1, on Ascend NPU and GPU. It includes:

• patchgen modeling;
• MiniMax sparse attention (MSA) operators on packed TND input;
• the SwiGLU-OAI routed-expert activation in the fused MoE kernels, with EP;
• Ulysses SP;
• a runtime checkpoint converter for the public checkpoint layout;
• the processor/data path;
• GPU and NPU example configs.

Rebased onto main after #1142 (OpSlot → VeomniOp). The model now constructs instance-local VeomniOp handles, SwiGLU-OAI experts are a moe_experts/swiglu_oai registry variant on the reorganised moe_experts/ kernels, and the tests follow the new tree.

Review guide. The diff is about 11.6k lines, but about 6.5k of them are patchgen output under veomni/models/transformers/minimax_m3_vl/generated/, which check_patchgen verifies, and about 2.5k are tests. The hand-written core is about 2.6k lines. Suggested reading order:

Checklist Before Starting

• Related: RFC RFC: MiniMax M3 VL support roadmap and contribution plan #852 (MiniMax M3 VL roadmap) and [model, docs] feat: add MiniMax M3 VL patchgen slice #846 (an earlier MiniMax M3 VL patchgen migration slice written against transformers 5.12).
  • This PR targets 5.16.1, which changed the indexer to select key blocks per KV group and renamed the vision-tower argument to grid_thw.
  • It also implements what [model, docs] feat: add MiniMax M3 VL patchgen slice #846 left out: sparse-attention ops, SwiGLU-OAI fused MoE + EP, Ulysses SP, and the NPU paths.
• Title follows [{modules}] {type}: {description}.

Test

Validation methodology. Each step builds on the previous one:

1. Parity with native transformers. At batch size 1, VeOmni's loss matches native transformers exactly.
2. VeOmni baseline. At larger batch sizes, the loss stays within 3% of native transformers. This run is the VeOmni baseline.
3. Features on top of the baseline. Fused operators, EP and Ulysses are then validated against that baseline.

The precision results below were produced on this PR's code before the rebase onto the VeomniOp refactor. The rebase moves the MoE, RMSNorm, loss and vision-attention call sites onto the new registry without changing their math; NPU/GPU re-validation on the rebased code is in progress.

Scale of the hardware validation. The full model has not been trained yet. Two reduced configurations were run:

• Precision alignment on a reduced-layer variant (~8B parameters): Ascend A3 / A5 vs H100 (reference), steps 1–406, shown below. 4 devices, EP=2, Ulysses=2, fused RMSNorm, on a mixed video / image / text dataset.
• Full depth with experts reduced to 4 (~30B parameters): runs end to end on 16 devices, on a text-only dataset (dapo_math).

Precision alignment (reduced-layer, ~8B): Ascend A3 / A5 vs H100 (reference), steps 1–406

• total_loss: the three curves overlap.
  • Relative error vs H100 is mostly below 0.5%, with isolated peaks up to about 1.5% (A5) in the first ~150 steps.
  • After that it stays at or below about 0.25%.
• grad_norm: the curves overlap on a log scale.
  • Relative error shows spikes in the noisy early phase (steps ~25–150).
  • From about step 200 it settles to within a few percent.

New tests, wired into the workflows that own their paths:

Test	What it covers	CI
tests/ops/minimax_sparse_attention/test_minimax_sparse_attention.py	indexer/block-sparse attention vs the upstream per-sample reference (fp32/fp64, fwd+bwd); SP padding segment; bf16 block-mask expansion == bool expansion; NPU npu_fusion_attention vs CPU reference (fp16/bf16, fwd+bwd)	tests/ops
tests/ops/moe_experts/test_swiglu_oai_moe.py	SwiGLU-OAI activation and backward; clamp contract; swiglu_oai registry rows	tests/ops
tests/ops/moe_experts/test_swiglu_oai_fused_moe_gpu.py / _npu.py	Triton / NPU fused MoE vs eager, fwd+bwd, incl. EP=2	tests/ops
tests/models/test_minimax_m3_vl_ops.py	packed attention == separate samples (sparse layers, and dense layers on the dispatched varlen op); per-layer op binding; dense-layer varlen backend guard; unpacked and rejected inputs; frozen indexer kept out of autograd; vision attention backend guard; visual metadata under SP; placeholder-mask fallback under SP; SP-padding vision features dropped before scattering; EP plan; expert / RMSNorm semantics	tests/models
tests/data/multimodal/test_minimax_m3_vl_data_transform.py	real chat-template rendering, label masking, image/video processor wiring, processor registry and guard	tests/data

tests/models, tests/ops and tests/data run as whole directories in both unit-test workflows.

Extended existing CI-enumerated tests with a minimax_m3_vl case:

• test_models_patch: HF eager vs VeOmni GPU/NPU patches.
• test_e2e_parallel::test_minimax_m3_vl_parallel_align: loss + grad-norm alignment for SP 1/2 × EP 1/2.
• test_dummy_forward, test_vlm_trainer, test_model_forward_no_implicit_sync (minimax_m3_vl-fa2-fused).
• tests/models/base/test_auto_registry.py: registration, build, and per-instance op isolation (tiny config in tests/models/tiny_configs.py).
• tests/ops/base/test_builtin_entries.py: the new registry rows.
• tests/models/base/test_checkpoint_tensor_converter.py: includes the real public-checkpoint index; all 23416 keys map onto the 1582 model parameters.
• tests/ops/attention/test_attention_op.py: per-KV-group Ulysses exchange stays aligned with K.
• The e2e case runs under bf16 mixed precision, as DeepSeek-V4 does, because fused_triton needs bf16/fp16 activations.

API and Usage Example

No new config fields. Training:

bash train.sh tasks/train_vlm.py configs/multimodal/minimax_m3_vl/minimax_m3_vl_npu.yaml  # NPU
bash train.sh tasks/train_vlm.py configs/multimodal/minimax_m3_vl/minimax_m3_vl.yaml      # GPU

model:
  chat_template: minimax_m3_vl
  ops_implementation:
    moe_implementation: fused_npu     # fused_triton on GPU
    rms_norm_implementation: torch_npu  # rms_norm/offset; liger_kernel on GPU
  accelerator:
    ulysses_size: 2
    ep_size: 2

New registry rows: moe_experts/swiglu_oai (eager, fused_triton, fused_npu) and minimax_sparse_attention/{indexer,attention} (eager only today; no config field until a second implementation exists). See docs/examples/minimax_m3_vl.md.

Design & Code Changes

Model (veomni/models/transformers/minimax_m3_vl/)

• GPU/NPU patchgen configs → generated/. Only the multimodal MiniMaxM3SparseForConditionalGeneration is generated.
• Packed input only. The language model takes either the collator's varlen kwargs, or one sequence with batch size 1 and no padding. Padded or batch>1 inputs and KV cache / generate are rejected with explicit errors. CP is refused at model build by VeOmni's CP allow-list (check_context_parallel_supported), so the forwards do not repeat that check.
• Vision features under SP. The vision tower pads its pixel rows to a multiple of sp_size * spatial_merge_size**2; after the SP gather the image/video features are trimmed to the real sum(t * h * w) // spatial_merge_size**2 tokens, so both the precomputed-mask masked_scatter and the no-mask fallback (get_placeholder_mask, whose count check is kept) see one feature per placeholder.
• Language attention dispatch. Dense (full_attention) layers call the standard attention op selected by attn_implementation (a varlen FlashAttention backend whose veomni_* adapter runs the Ulysses all-to-all), exactly like other VeOmni models. Only sparse (minimax_m3_sparse) layers go through the MSA operators, so the operators carry no dense fallback.
• Attention backend guard. Neither the vision attention nor the dense language layers pass a mask, so multiple media inputs need a varlen FlashAttention backend, and Ulysses needs a VeOmni veomni_* adapter. The dense language layers require the varlen backend for every input, including a single sequence: the patched language model builds no causal mask, so eager attention would attend to future tokens. Other backends are rejected at forward instead of silently mixing samples or leaking targets. The veomni_*_hub adapters are listed as flash-compatible, so HF does not swap them for MiniMaxAI/msa.
• Op handles. RMSNorm (rms_norm/offset, fed a fp32 weight so 1 + weight is added in fp32), cross-entropy (ForCausalLMLoss bound once in __init__), experts (moe_experts/swiglu_oai), sparse attention (sparse layers), and the standard attention (vision and dense language layers) construct instance-local VeomniOps.
• Ulysses (sparse layers). The main Q/K/V use the sequence/head all-to-all. The per-KV-group index Q is exchanged exactly like K, and the single-head index K is all-gathered.
• checkpoint_tensor_converter.py. Converts the public layout (language_model.model.*, per-expert w1/w2/w3, index_{q,k}_proj, patch_merge_mlp) to the transformers 5.16 layout (fused gate_up_proj/down_proj, self_attn.indexer.*, …).
• processing_minimax_m3_vl.py. Builds the native image/video processors and the tokenizer by concrete class. This is needed because the public checkpoint declares its processors only through a trust_remote_code auto_map, and its bundled processor drops the chat template. It applies only to model_type=minimax_m3_vl checkpoints.
• Router auxiliary loss is disabled. The Switch-style loss recomputes routing with softmax, while MiniMax routes with sigmoid + e_score_correction_bias.
• The sparse-attention indexer is not trained.
  • Top-k block selection is not differentiable, and MiniMax has not published an indexer post-training objective.
  • The indexer is frozen at construction (requires_grad_(False)), so DDP does not wait for gradients that never arrive.
  • Its projections run under no_grad, so no unused autograd graph is built.

Ops

• veomni/ops/kernels/minimax_sparse_attention/. Indexer + block-sparse attention on packed TND tensors, behind an interface that a kernel backend can replace without touching the model. On NPU the masked attention runs through torch_npu.npu_fusion_attention (sparse_mode=1, atten_mask=~keep), and block masks are expanded via bf16, which is exact.
• MoE.
  • New moe_experts/swiglu_oai variant: an eager row matching the HF MiniMax expert loop, plus thin fused_triton / fused_npu wrappers over the standard paths. Other implementations (e.g. fused_quack) fail at model build.
  • MergedFc1TritonFusedMoeExpertFunction, group_gemm_fused_moe_forward (moe_experts/standard/triton.py), EPMergedFc1GroupGemm (moe_experts/shared/ep.py) and the NPU path (standard/npu.py) get an optional swiglu_alpha. The default None keeps every other MoE model on the unchanged SiLU path, including [ops, perf] refactor: reduce merged MoE backward activation lifetime #1306's buffer lifetimes.
  • The SwiGLU-OAI forward/backward helpers live next to the clamp in moe_experts/shared/swiglu.py.
• Ulysses. prepare_ulysses_qkv is refactored with no behavior change, and the new gather_seq_scatter_kv_heads is exposed for per-KV-group tensors.

Shared code (cross-modality)

• veomni/data/data_transform.py. The image/video loading in _process_sample_qwen_vl_base is extracted into _prepare_vlm_media_inputs (no change to Qwen behavior), and process_sample_minimax_m3_vl is added.
• veomni/data/chat_template.py. Adds MiniMaxM3VLChatTemplate, which renders the checkpoint's native template turn by turn and labels assistant turns only.
• veomni/trainer/vlm_trainer.py. The tower lookup and the vit_lr group also match vision_tower. This also moves any other VLMTrainer model whose tower is named vision_tower into the vit_lr group. Among shipped models only gemma3 is named that way, and no recipe trains it through VLMTrainer.
• veomni/data/dummy_dataset.py. Adds DummyMiniMaxM3VLDataset for e2e tests.

Config / docs / agent: GPU + NPU recipes; docs/examples/minimax_m3_vl.md; README and NPU supported-model tables; kernel-selection doc; veomni/ops/README.md; .agents/knowledge/{architecture,constraints,multimodal_metadata}.md.

Known limitations (documented)

• Validation scale. Full-model training (all layers and all experts, on the complete public checkpoint) has not been validated. Precision alignment used a reduced-layer ~8B variant, and the full-depth run used 4 experts (~30B) on text-only data.
• Weight export. Exported HF weights use the transformers-native layout. vLLM/SGLang need the original layout, so they cannot serve an export directly, and verl rollout weight sync is not supported yet (no export_weights). Planned as a follow-up.
• GPU attention. GPU language-model attention is the eager reference (O(S²) memory; the recipe's 4096 fits) until a GPU sparse-attention kernel lands.
• Not supported:
  • tool-call conversations;
  • the text-only MiniMaxM3VLForCausalLM;
  • CP;
  • ep_sharded_stream_load with the public per-expert layout.
  • Cambricon MLU (moe_experts/swiglu_oai has no MLU row).
• LoRA is not validated. Name-suffix targets such as q_proj would also wrap the frozen indexer; the docs give a regex exclude_modules example.
• Image resolution. Images use the checkpoint's native max_pixels (451584) unless model.processor_config overrides it.
• Follow-ups:
  • The router runs under the bf16 mixed-precision policy, while the public checkpoint stores gate.weight / e_score_correction_bias in fp32. Keeping the router out of mixed precision (get_ignore_modules_in_mixed_precision) is a candidate follow-up.
  • count_flops.py has no MiniMax M3 estimator yet, so logged MFU is 0.

Suggested reviewers: zx55, coach257

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 75368

The remaining concerns are narrow documentation, registry-input, and partial-metadata cases. Correct the activation guidance and confirm the earlier concerns are addressed; they do not establish a broad failure of the new training path.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to a840b

The inspected training path derives sequence boundaries internally and rejects incompatible execution modes. No exploitable boundary bypass or privilege expansion was established. Coverage remains incomplete, so this is not an all-clear assessment.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The inspected operations affect media, tokens, and ranks participating in the configured training forward. The evidence does not establish a separately authorized tenant, datastore, or privileged service boundary at these library calls, so broader attacker reachability and maximum production exposure remain unproven.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — Inconsistent direct-call metadata can change attention boundaries or cause execution failure. However, the inspected trainer obtains its metadata hook from the loaded model, and collation recomputes the relevant layout fields. Without a demonstrated lower-trust path that overrides those fields, this is not a verified security-boundary bypass.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The strongest inspected isolation controls are producer-derived sequence boundaries, separate visual padding segments, rejection of non-varlen multi-media attention, and rejection of unpacked sequence-parallel language inputs. The routed test ranges exercise these contracts rather than introduce externally accessible entrypoints.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The inspected layout path constructs per-batch metadata and forward-local tensors rather than introducing durable metadata ownership or a rollback transaction. This limits persistent cleanup obligations, but does not establish recovery guarantees for interrupted or rank-divergent distributed execution.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — If lower-trust custom input adapters are supported, keep layout fields producer-owned or validate their consistency once on CPU before distributed execution. Explicitly document that arbitrary attention masks and independently supplied boundaries are outside the supported training contract.

The real vision layer dispatches through the configured attention interface. (raw.githubusercontent.com) Keep the recorder for metadata assertions, but add output and gradient checks with real attention, including a multi-rank Ulysses case. As per path instructions: “Prefer tests that catch rank, shape, device, and packing bugs.

[ZihaoW123]

Please keep NPU vision sequence metadata on the CPU throughout preprocessing and forward. Moving cu_seqlens to the accelerator and then calling .cpu() introduces an avoidable synchronization on every vision forward.

[yeyeyeping]

Thanks for catching this, and you're right that the round trip is avoidable. It comes from framework-wide behavior: BaseTrainer.preforward moves all batch tensors, including multimodal_metadata, to the device, and keeping that metadata on CPU would affect every model. We'd rather address it properly at the framework level in a follow-up than special-case MiniMax here. In the meantime, the .cpu() runs only once at the start of the vision forward, before the ViT and LLM compute is dispatched, so its impact should be small. Hope that works for you, and happy to discuss if you see it differently.

[FoolPlayer]

[P2] On NPU, cu_seqlens is moved to embeds.device and immediately copied back with blocking .cpu(), adding a host synchronization to each vision forward. Keep this metadata on CPU through batch transfer and forward, and construct fallback boundaries there too; changing only the local .to() leaves BaseTrainer.preforward moving it to NPU.
