fix(mtp): make native MTP actually work on single-node serving - #1366

Local (non-staged) decode produced a native MTP draft every step, recorded whether it matched, then decoded the next token serially anyway: 900 target forwards for 900 emitted tokens at a 0.74 accept rate. The accept-and-skip contract existed only in the staged verify-window path and the plugin-fed linear-proposal path, neither of which is reachable in single-node serving. Add native_mtp_decode: one batched target forward over the drafted span, commit every token up to the first mismatch, then retire the verify checkpoint on full acceptance or trim the speculative suffix. Gated on greedy sampling (token equality is only a valid acceptance test there), no active generation hooks, and the same recurrent-checkpoint boundary the linear-proposal path uses. Measured on Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M / M5 Metal: serial forwards 900 -> 381 for the same 900 emitted tokens, so the skip is mechanically real. Throughput is still net-negative on this model and the cause is separate and identified in the PR description (per-verify recurrent state snapshot), so this lands as the correct mechanism, not yet as a speedup.

Recurrent memory supports bounded in-place rollback through the RS snapshot index (n_rs_seq widens the RS cache to 1 + n_rs_seq groups and seq_rm rewinds via set_rs_idx), enabled upstream for exactly qwen35 and qwen35moe. The verify window ignored it: every batched verify copied the whole sequence state to host memory first, and a partial accept replayed the accepted tokens serially on restore. Skip both when the span fits inside n_rs_seq. Staged sessions keep the checkpoint - they roll back across hosts, where an in-process RS index is not a usable restore point. Measured on Qwen3.8-27B-Q4_K_M / M5 Metal, span within n_rs_seq: verify 63.3 ms (was 108.5 ms) against a 42.1 ms serial decode, and mesh MTP-on is no longer slower than MTP-off.

@ndizazzo review request — MTP on Qwen3.8 (hybrid recurrent Three commits: draft-token forwarding, local accept-and-skip in the Rust decode path, and patch-queue What Numbers (same box, interleaved arms in one session, 300 tok, temp 0): mesh MTP off median 23.67 tok/s, mesh MTP on 23.98, LM Studio MTP on 26.05. The prior -30% regression is gone; still ~8% behind LM Studio, which is inside this box's run-to-run drift. Verify cost tracks the checkpoint exactly: span 4 = 108.5 ms, span 3 = 94.3 ms, span 2 (guard fires) = 63.3 ms vs 42.1 ms serial decode. Known limits, not fixed: I did not widen the RS cache, so only draft=1 (span 2) benefits — one snapshot group is ~300 MiB here (897.75 MiB RS buffer at Questions for you: is the in-place rollback guard the right shape, and is keeping the unconditional checkpoint on the staged path what you would expect? |

@ndizazzo a good cuda test where you are likely to see performance boost makes sense. I wonder if on unified you are less likely to see MTP help as the bottleneck is elsewhere? (but cuda you would see it) |

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
A poisoned runtime lock is reported as an inactive session.
native_mtp_span_base_position maps every lock failure to None through .lock().ok(). The caller at Line 120 then returns "native MTP span session is not active". A poisoned lock and a missing session are different faults and need different operator responses. Every other lock acquisition in this file reports poisoning explicitly.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Cancellation during commit can retire the checkpoint instead of trimming it.
The commit loop at Lines 296-324 breaks on cancellation with reached_stop still false. full_accept is then returned as full_accept && !reached_stop, so it stays true whenever the whole draft matched, even though fewer tokens than decision.commit_count were committed.
repair_native_mtp_span reads that flag at Line 356 and calls retire_verify_checkpoint instead of trim_session. The session keeps all verify_inputs.len() verified rows while state.decoded_tokens and state.current advance only by the committed count. The session position and the emitted token stream then disagree.
The same break also allows committed_tokens to be empty, which triggers the "native MTP span committed no target token" error at Line 146 after the checkpoint was already retired rather than trimmed.
Derive full_accept from the committed count so a short commit always trims.

Restore recurrent memory during partial-accept trim. When this guard skips the checkpoint, skippy_trim_session finds no checkpoint. Its recurrent-memory branch does not call seq_rm; it only updates session->n_past and clears checkpoint state. The rejected suffix therefore remains in recurrent memory. Add recurrent seq_rm(session->seq_id, p0, -1) rollback with error handling before enabling this path. Full-accept callers pass the same verify_inputs.len() to checkpoint and retirement.

PR #1368 publishes 0021-skippy-coalesce-native-KV-page-transfers with benchmark artifacts pinned to that build. prepare-llama.sh applies the queue in sort order, so two patches claiming 0021 collide on whichever lands second. Move the MTP patches out of the way instead: no artifacts are pinned to their numbers, and the relative order within this branch is unchanged (nothing sorts between 0022 and 0023).

Multi-token drafts left speculative KV rows past the accepted token resident in a sidecar cache that owns its own memory, so the next sidecar decode resumed at a position that was not seq_pos_max + 1 and llama_decode returned -1. That is why draft 1 served correctly while draft 3 failed deterministically on CUDA. Track one past the highest position each proposal writes and remove everything past the committed token on the accept path.

Depth 1 is the only measured speedup on Qwen3.8-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL: 42.751 tok/s vs a 37.503 tok/s disabled control (+14.0%), where depth 3 reaches only 37.938 tok/s (+1.16% over control, 11.3% slower than depth 1). Default the native-MTP proposal window to 1 so the win is what users get out of the box; operators can still raise draft_max_tokens explicitly.

…N is unset
release-build-cuda and release-build-aarch64-cuda defaulted an unset
MESH_CUDA_VERSION to the bare string "12", which always lands in the
pre-Blackwell SM list (61;75;80;86;87;89;90) regardless of what's actually
installed. CI always sets the var explicitly from its build matrix, so this
only bit bare `just release-build-cuda` runs on a workstation -- reproduced
live on carrack (CUDA 13.3 + RTX 5090 built for sm 61-90 with no sm_120,
because the actually-installed CUDA version was never consulted).
Add scripts/detect-cuda-toolkit-version.sh, which probes nvcc, then CUDA
install metadata, then nvidia-smi's reported version, falling back to the
historical "12" default only when none of those resolve. Wire it in as the
default expansion for MESH_CUDA_VERSION in both recipes so CI's explicit
value is untouched (bash only evaluates a ${VAR:-default} default when VAR
is unset) and a bare invocation now builds for the toolkit that's actually
on the machine.
This does not change the CUDA-12-vs-13 SM list split itself, so a genuinely
CUDA-12-only toolchain still never gets sm_100/103/120/121.

NVIDIA CUDA 12.8 release notes compiler supported compute capabilities SM 100 SM 120 CUDA 12.8
💡 Result:
CUDA Toolkit 12.8 introduces official compiler support for the NVIDIA Blackwell GPU architecture, including support for SM_100, SM_101, and SM_120 [1][2]. Compiler and Architecture Support: - CUDA Toolkit 12.8 adds specific compiler support for the NVIDIA Blackwell family of architectures: SM_100, SM_101, and SM_120 [1][2]. - The libNVVM library has been updated to support compilation for Blackwell architectures [3][2]. - Compilation for compute capabilities of compute_100 and higher utilizes an updated NVVM IR dialect based on LLVM 18.1.8 IR [3][4]. This modern dialect differs from the one used for pre-Blackwell architectures (compute capability less than compute_100) [3][2]. Compatibility and Development: - Applications built with CUDA Toolkit 12.8 can generate native cubin for the Blackwell architecture (compute capability 10.0) [5][6]. - Developers are encouraged to use -gencode parameters when using nvcc to ensure generation of cubin files for relevant architectures alongside PTX for forward compatibility with future GPU architectures [5][7]. - Applications built with previous versions of the CUDA Toolkit are generally compatible with Blackwell GPUs, provided they include PTX versions of their kernels to allow for Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation at runtime [5][6]. For detailed information on command-line parameters and architecture-specific optimization, refer to the official Blackwell Compatibility Guide included with the CUDA 12.8 documentation [5][6].

Repro'd, working locally on my 5090
…mpiler Addresses the two actionable CodeRabbit comments on PR #1366: - release-build-cuda now picks the CUDA_ARCHITECTURES list from the configured toolkit version instead of always building pre-Blackwell: toolkits >= 12.8 (and all of 13.x) add SM_100/SM_120 for Blackwell, everything else keeps the legacy 61..90 list. MESH_LLM_CUDA_TOOLKIT_MAJOR now defaults to the selected toolkit's major instead of being forced to 12 by an unset variable. - detect-cuda-toolkit-version.sh resolves the effective toolkit from the compiler build-llama will actually use (CUDACXX, then NVCC, then PATH), falling back to nvidia-smi only when no usable compiler is found. Driver and compiler versions can disagree on multi-toolkit hosts like carrack; a driver-max answer could mislabel the toolkit and re-break SM selection. Covers the 12.7/12.8 boundary in test_justfile_release_runtime by executing the recipe body against forced toolkit versions (full suite: 474 OK). Co-Authored-By: I-work-for-free (Qwen 3.8 27B) <agent@local>

Native MTP now actually skips forwards on the single-node decode path. It is still net-negative on Qwen3.8, and the remaining cost is identified but not yet fixed — see "Why this is still slower".
What was wrong
Single-node (non-staged) serving goes through
local_generation/decode_step.rs. Withstrategy = "mtp"it drafted a token, ran a full target forward for one token, compared, logged the verdict viaverifier.rs, threw the draft away, and decoded again. Instrumented withSKIPPY_TELEMETRY_STDERR=1, 3x300 tokens:74% of drafts were correct and not one saved a forward. Pure added draft cost (~1.6 ms/token), zero payoff.
The accept-and-skip contract existed in two places, neither reachable here:
frontend/native_mtp/verify_window.rs— staged/split path only (embedded_generation.rs:1041).frontend/linear_proposal/execution.rs:170-250— correct and complete, but proposals come exclusively fromlinear_proposal_ingress, whose only production constructor is behind the hidden--native-serving-pluginflag (local_model_only.rs:190-193,commands.rs:515-518). Zerolinear_proposalmatches in either instrumented server log; that branch was never live.What this does
New
local_generation/native_mtp_decode.rs: one batched target forward over the drafted span, commit every token up to the first mismatch, retire the verify checkpoint on full accept, otherwise trim the speculative suffix. Reuses the existingclassify_native_mtp_verify_windowclassifier the staged path uses. Gated on greedy sampling (token equality is only a valid acceptance test there), no active generation hooks, and the same recurrent-checkpoint boundary as the linear-proposal path.Includes @jimmy's

Interleaved in one session on the same box, same GGUF (
unsloth/Qwen3.8-27B-GGUFQ4_K_M), same prompt, 300 tok, temp 0, 6 runs per arm:LM Studio's own log:
draft acceptance = 0.826 (119/144), mean len 2.20. So upstream MTP is worth +5.6% on medians here, not 2x. Nick's 5090 figure does not reproduce on this box in either engine. Note also: run-to-run drift on this machine exceeds the MTP effect (one off-arm drifted to 17-19 tok/s idle), so only interleaved single-session arms are meaningful.Why this is still slower — and it is not a Metal batching limit
skippy_verify_tokens_frame_sampledcallsskippy_checkpoint_verify_windowbefore every batched verify (verification.cpp:141). That early-returns for plain KV, butskippy_memory_needs_verify_checkpoint(activation.cpp:61-65) returns true forllama_memory_hybrid/hybrid_iswa/recurrent.Qwen3.8-27B is hybrid recurrent — confirmed from the GGUF header, not assumed:
general.architecture = qwen35, 65 blocks,full_attention_interval = 4,ssm.state_size 128 / group_count 16 / conv_kernel 4, 336ssm_*tensors across 48 blocks,attn_kpresent in only 17 (3, 7, 11, ... 63, 64). It is dense (0 expert tensors) — that part of the earlier correction is right — but dense ≠ non-recurrent, and it is the recurrent half that triggers the checkpoint.So every verify step does
ctx->synchronize()plus a fullllama_state_seq_get_data_extcopy of the sequence state. Measured: batched 4-row verify 106.3 ms vs 42.3 ms for a serial decode = 2.29x. Paying 2.29 decodes to save a median of 1 forward is a guaranteed loss, exactly as the numbers show.Upstream does not pay this. llama.cpp added bounded partial recurrent rollback:
n_rs_seqwidens the RS cache to(1 + n_rs_seq)snapshot groups (llama-memory-recurrent.cpp:100), andseq_rmrolls back in-place viaset_rs_idxwhenrollback <= n_rs_seq(:182-190), enabled for exactlyLLM_ARCH_QWEN35/QWEN35MOE(llama-arch.cpp:1034-1042). The server therefore only snapshots whendraft.size() > llama_n_rs_seq(ctx_tgt)(server-context.cpp:3069-3070), and sizesn_rs_seq = draft.n_maxfor MTP (common.h:386-392). Skippy pinsn_rs_seq = max(n_rs_seq, 2)(skippy/model_loading.cpp:662) and then snapshots unconditionally, so mesh takes the expensive path on every step where upstream takes none.That gives a concrete next change: size
n_rs_seqfrom the configured draft window and makeskippy_checkpoint_verify_windowskip the state copy when the span fits withinllama_n_rs_seq, using in-placeseq_rmrollback like upstream. That is a separate PR against the C++ patch queue; I did not want to bundle athird_partypatch change with the Rust decode-path fix.Scope of evidence
Update: verify-window checkpoint fix (
0022), measuredThird commit adds patch-queue change
0022:skippy_verify_window_can_roll_back_in_placeskips both the per-verify sequence-state snapshot and the serial replay-on-restore when the span fits insiden_rs_seq. Staged sessions keep the checkpoint — they roll back across hosts, where an in-process RS index is not a valid restore point.This confirms the mechanism named above, by timing rather than inference:
draft_max_tokens=3(default)draft_max_tokens=2draft_max_tokens=1(fitsn_rs_seq=2)Only the arm where the guard fires gets fast; the first two rows are the pre-fix behaviour, correctly declined because span (draft+1) exceeds
n_rs_seq=2. The RS cache is deliberately not widened: one snapshot group is ~300 MiB on this model (897.75 MiB RS buffer atn_rs_seq=2).Interleaved single-session A/B, same box/GGUF/prompt, temp 0, 300 tok:
Honest status: the −30% regression is gone (parity with MTP-off). Mesh is still ~8% behind LM Studio MTP-on, so this is not yet a win over upstream.
Remaining gap, from the same telemetry, with two candidates I have not distinguished:
n_rs_seq > 2without re-introducing the snapshot.Still open: temp-0 token-stream identity diff between MTP on and off. That remains the merge gate.
