corresponding code near the other reported location to pass strict=True,
preserving the existing pairing logic while making length mismatches raise
instead of silently dropping elements.
- Around line 981-987: Update the sliding-window override in the layer
attention-mask setup so that when swa_window is active, it sets both window_size
and causal=False. Preserve the existing _get_attention_mask_args behavior for
layers without an active sliding-window configuration.

- Around line 3005-3059: The draft_is_embedded_in_target probe must not classify
an unresolved Hugging Face Hub ID as a local checkpoint when speculative_model
is initially unset. Defer the probe until the target checkpoint resolves to a
local directory, or resolve the Hub model during validation before invoking it,
so valid Hub-backed DSpark checkpoints are not rejected for missing mtp.*
weights; add a regression test covering this Hub-ID validation path.

The message read eagle3_model_arch off spec_dec_mode, a SpeculativeDecodingMode with no such attribute, so an unsupported arch raised AttributeError and the message was never shown. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
DFlash was 1326 of modeling_speculative.py's 2778 lines. Splitting it out leaves that module as generic speculative infrastructure plus Eagle3, PARD and MTP, and mirrors modeling_dspark.py so the two block-draft paths sit side by side. Pure move: the block references nothing else in modeling_speculative.py, and its builder registration moves with it, so neither module imports the other. The imports the block owned exclusively -- including the _flashinfer_rope try/except -- move too. The new file joins legacy-files.txt to keep the 80-column formatting the code already had, so this commit stays a move; graduating it to the ruff toolchain is a separate change. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The file only carried 80-column formatting because it was split out of a legacy module; nothing else in models/ is still on yapf. Moving it to Group A rewraps it to 100 columns and puts it under the full ruff rule set, which it passes with no remaining violations. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The Markov chain loop and its bigram bias existed twice, with no import between them: modeling_dflash.py carried a raw-tensor pair for the DFlash drafter, models/dspark/heads.py an nn.Module tree for the V4-Pro one. Both now share dspark_markov_chain in modeling_speculative.py, the layer both drafters already sit above. Two call-site differences are preserved as parameters rather than folded away: the DFlash drafter needs a TP vocab shard plus a shard-aware argmax, and it casts the bias down to the logits dtype. The V4-Pro drafter builds its heads without a dtype argument, so its Markov weights stay fp32 while its logits are bf16; adding the cast unconditionally would have narrowed its accumulation to bf16 silently. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The models/dspark/ package held the captured-context attention primitives and the block draft I/O for one consumer, modeling_dspark.py. Fold both in and drop the package; the heads left in cut 2. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
DSparkForCausalLM, DSparkDraftModel and DSparkBlock are hard-wired to DeepSeek-V4: DSparkBlock derives from DeepseekV4DecoderLayer, the draft weights live in the target checkpoint's mtp.* namespace, and the stages carry EPLB layer-index alignment. The unqualified names overclaim, and they hold a name that the standalone DSpark drafters will need. The two inference/model.py citations keep the original spelling: they name DeepSpec's own class, not this one. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
DSpark shipped in two forms that had no common entry point: the embedded DeepSeek-V4-Pro draft used decoding_type DSpark, while a standalone drafter had to be configured as decoding_type DFlash, because DFlashForCausalLM was where the Markov head, the confidence head and the shift_label convention were implemented. Move that head set into DSparkDrafterForCausalLM, a DFlashForCausalLM subclass in modeling_dspark, and give _build_dspark_draft two levels of dispatch: the checkpoint's mtp.* namespace selects the embedded draft, otherwise the drafter's own model_type selects the backbone class (Qwen3DSparkForCausalLM today). DFlash now refuses a drafter that declares the DSpark heads instead of serving it without them, which would only show up as a lower acceptance rate. modeling_dflash keeps no reference to a DSpark class, so the new modeling_dspark -> modeling_dflash inheritance edge stays one-way. The sliding-window configuration stays in the DFlash base: the block decode indexes the resolved windows directly and must not reach for an attribute only a subclass defines. DSparkDecodingConfig gains attention_backend for the standalone path, and the checkpoint reader now accepts the dflash_config and plain top-level spellings alongside dspark_*; a knob the reader misses is not an error, it silently degrades the drafter. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The gate whitelisted SA and DFlash only, so a K3 engine configured with decoding_type DSpark aborted at model construction. The target side is identical for both modes -- the hidden-state capture in KimiLinearModel.forward is unconditional. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
decoding_type DSpark now builds one of two draft models -- the embedded
DeepSeek-V4-Pro draft or a standalone drafter -- but worker and spec
metadata selection stayed one-to-one on the mode. A standalone drafter
therefore reached DSparkWorker, which reads V4-draft-only attributes, and
died on first contact with
AttributeError: 'Qwen3DSparkForCausalLM' object has no attribute 'num_stages'
Every dispatch that has to tell the two apart now reads one resolved-once
flag on DSparkDecodingConfig, so a builder and a worker cannot disagree.
The flag lives on the config because _torch/speculative imports nothing
from _torch/models. Standalone drafters also stop inheriting the target's
EPLB namespace, which only the embedded draft's stages belong to.
Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The dispatch tests assert which class a factory returns, with the classes stubbed. Two real failures walked past them: the K3 target's spec-dec mode whitelist, and a worker handed a draft model whose attributes it does not have. Both needed a 16-GPU run to surface, one of them five minutes in. Add the two tests that catch them on one GPU in under two seconds. The contract test builds the real Qwen3DSparkForCausalLM and drives the real DFlashWorker's lazy init, which is where the draft-model interface is actually consumed; it also pins the mis-route, so reverting the routing to a mode check fails here instead of in production. The gate test asks only whether construction stopped at the whitelist, since everything past it builds the full K3 model. The drafter is built on the TRTLLM block-decode backend, matching the K3 serving config; the VANILLA default would pull in flash-attn. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
Worker classification now matches the draft-model side. DSparkWorker becomes DSv4DSparkWorker, and standalone DSpark drafters get StandaloneDSparkWorker, a DFlashWorker subclass carrying the only two policies that differ: the shift_label block-output slot convention and the Markov intra-block logit bias. DFlashWorker had been probing both defensively through getattr, so a plain DFlash drafter paid for DSpark bookkeeping it never used and a DSpark drafter that lost a head degraded silently. The probes now live in the subclass and reach the drafter through explicit hooks (_draft_slot_ids, _refine_block_logits). Workers are named by deployment form, never by draft backbone: the worker only allocates against shapes the draft model reports and sequences calls it owns, so an MLA drafter reuses StandaloneDSparkWorker unchanged. The rationale is recorded on the classes themselves, and the names share vocabulary with DSparkDecodingConfig.draft_is_embedded_in_target, which is what get_spec_worker branches on. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
StandaloneDSparkWorker does not override __init__, so the hardcoded name made a standalone-DSpark run indistinguishable from a plain DFlash one in the logs. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
At block_size == K with shift_label off the slot ids run 1..K, so each request reads the next one's slot 0 and the last overruns the block. The clamp turns that misconfiguration into lost acceptance, never an error. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
The drafter is distilled on the pre-norm softmax mixture its next consumer sees, not on the raw prefix sum a layer returns. Layer i+1 already computes that tensor as its own attention-side mixture, so the tap rides along. Ground truth: SGLang kimi_k3.py:2589 _dspark_capture_stream, whose attn_res-is-None fallback is what we were capturing; attn_residual.py:285 aggregate_stream matches _apply_attn_res row-for-row. Cross-check on a separate harness (0-shot chat, RadixArk drafter, 1319 questions): AR 66.9% -> 71.4%, acceptance length 5.683 -> 6.005, against SGLang's 6.089 on the same checkpoints. Accuracy unchanged, as expected for a draft-side fix. Caveats: every arm carried a scratch acceptance-histogram patch, and there is no clean same-config repeat, so this is an argument from magnitude rather than a measured interval. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
…named class DSparkDrafterForCausalLM + the empty Qwen3DSparkForCausalLM become GQADSparkForCausalLM. The constraint is the attention shape, not the model: DFlash already runs one block decode over qwen3, llama and gpt_oss drafters, so a per-model subclass is empty by construction. _DSPARK_DRAFTERS_BY_MODEL_TYPE is gone. It keyed on model_type a second time after DFlashForCausalLM.__init__ had already resolved the backbone through the model registry; what it actually guarded was the block decode's GQA precondition. That check now lives in the DFlash base, where DFlash needs it too, and fails at construction with the offending layer rather than deep inside _build_fused_kv_buffers. Also drops two unit tests fully covered by others: the per-field DFlash refusal (subsumed by the declares_dspark_heads truth table plus the builder-level refusal) and the no-spec-config gate case. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
Replaces four new files (~57 tests, much of it mechanism trivia) with nine tests in the files that already own each subject, reusing their fixtures instead of rebuilding them. Eight of the nine guard silent degradation: the published config and weight spellings activating the heads, head weights with an unresolvable rank, the DFlash refusal, the GQA precondition, form-based worker routing, the worker policies coming off the drafter, and the deployment-form probe. A dropped Markov head lowers acceptance without failing anything, which is exactly what a gsm8k accuracy run cannot see. The ninth, spec-mode index drift, is there for a different reason: this PR adds SPEC_MODE_TO_MODULE as the fourth hand-maintained table in _arch_index, and every other one already has a drift test in test_lazy_model_zoo. Its failure is loud but misattributed -- a missing index entry surfaces as "unsupported speculative decoding mode" to whoever next runs that mode, not as a missing line to whoever omitted it. Dropped as redundant or trivia: the TP-sharded Markov chain (already covered by test_markov_chain_sharded_matches_full_vocab), registry internals, the K3 spec-mode gate (its failure is a loud AssertionError at startup), and the per-field declares_dspark_heads truth table.

GSM8K's task yaml pins 5 shots, so a 0-shot chat evaluation was unreachable from either the CLI or a test. Forwards num_fewshot to the same task_obj.set_config lm-eval's own simple_evaluate makes. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
…Spark path Runs GSM8K on DeepSeek's published Qwen3-8B block-7 drafter, so the published head spellings stay exercised. 0-shot chat, because a DSpark drafter is distilled on the target's chat output and the harness default 5-shot completion prompt understates acceptance (4.42 vs 6.26); that regime gets its own accuracy reference under extra_acc_spec.

MTP treats an unset (or target-equal) speculative_model as "load the draft from the target checkpoint" -- resolve_mtp_checkpoint_source. DSpark rejected it outright, so expressing the same intent needed different config depending on which speculative algorithm was in use. An unset speculative_model now defaults to the target, which the existing embedded-vs-standalone probe then resolves to the embedded DeepSeek-V4-Pro flavour. Pointing speculative_model at the target explicitly stays equivalent. A target that declares no mtp.* draft weights is still refused rather than defaulted: without that, a standalone drafter gets built from the target's own config and fails much later on a missing fc.weight. MTP has no equivalent refusal, so this extends the shared convention rather than diverging from it. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>
NVIDIA#17935 added a block-width check assuming the plain DFlash layout, where slot 0 holds the anchor and K draft tokens need K+1 slots. DSpark's shift_label reads slots 0..K-1, so K slots suffice; the extra slot rejected both published block-7 drafters at max_draft_len=7. Width now comes from _draft_block_width, next to the _draft_slot_ids hook it has to agree with. Signed-off-by: Zhenhuan Chen <zhenhuanc@nvidia.com>

Seem the multi-gpu test is not needed. I asked agent to search for dflash/dspark related tests. Only DSv4DSpark needs multi gpu, but is waived now(coming back in #18182). Other dflash tests passed in single-GPU tests. And I have tested locally, so I will just merge this PR for now. |

Description
"DSpark" names two unrelated things in this repo, and
decoding_type: DSparkonly reaches one of them:mtp.*, three full DeepSeek-V4 blocks.decoding_type: DFlash, because that is where the DSpark semantics landed in [TRTLLM-14814][feat] Kimi K3 serving parsers, chat template, and speculative decoding (suffix automaton + DFlash scaffold) #17327.The difference is packaging, not algorithm.
is_dsparkinmodeling_speculative.pyis already true exactly when the Markov head, confidence head, orshift_labelconvention is present — i.e. DFlash is DSpark with those heads off, not the reverse. This PR makes the API match that.flowchart TD F["decoding_type: DFlash"] --> D["DFlashForCausalLM<br/>DFlashWorker"] C["decoding_type: DSpark"] --> Q{"draft weights inside<br/>the target checkpoint?"} Q -->|yes| V["DSv4DSparkForCausalLM<br/>DSv4DSparkWorker"] Q -->|no| K["GQADSparkForCausalLM<br/>DSparkWorker"]Both dispatches — draft model and worker/metadata — read the same resolved-once flag, so they cannot drift apart.
Getting there needed the dependency inverted first.
get_draft_modelhad to import every concrete draft model, which forced a lazy import to break themodeling_dspark → modeling_deepseekv4 → modeling_speculativecycle. It is now a builder registry with a string index in_arch_index.py, carrying over the three rulesregister_auto_modelalready encodes. With the cycle gone,DFlashForCausalLMmoves to its ownmodeling_dflash.py, the two duplicate Markov implementations merge into one kernel, andmodels/dspark/folds intomodeling_dspark.py.Standalone drafters also load as published now. Both public K3 checkpoints put
markov_rank/enable_confidence_headat the top level ofconfig.jsonand name the head tensors after the modules that own them (markov_head.markov_w1.weight), while the reader understood only a nesteddflash_configand bare tensor names — so the Markov and confidence heads were dropped in silence, costing acceptance with nothing raised. One resolver now covers every spelling, shared withvalidate_speculative_configso the model and the user-visible config cannot disagree, and shipping head weights that resolve to rank 0 is an error rather than a silent drop.shift_labeldefaults on for a DSpark drafter: both checkpoints setblock_size == max_draft_len, where the DFlash slot layout runs one slot past the block and reads the next request's anchor.One target-side fix rides along, because it is what makes the standalone drafter worth running. K3 folds the residual into a running prefix sum, and the DSpark capture was taking that raw value. The drafter is distilled on the aggregated stream — the pre-norm softmax mixture its next consumer sees — which layer i+1 already computes, so the tap now rides along at no extra cost. Ground truth is SGLang
kimi_k3.py:2589 _dspark_capture_stream, whoseattn_res is Nonefallback is exactly what we were capturing. Worth 4.5pt of draft acceptance on a separate harness (AR 66.9% → 71.4%).Two intentional behaviour changes:
decoding_type: DFlashnow rejects a drafter that declares the DSpark head set, with a message pointing atDSpark.moe_load_balanceris propagated only to an embedded draft — whatexternal_drafter_config_kwargsalready documented.Commits are sequenced so each is separately reviewable; the pure moves and the rename are behaviour-preserving.
Test Coverage
Nine tests, no new files — each goes in the file that already owns its subject and reuses that file's fixtures:
test_kimi_k3_dspark_semantics.py— the published config and weight spellings activating the heads, head weights with an unresolvable rank, the DFlash refusal, the GQA precondition.test_dspark_worker.py— form-based worker and draft-KV routing, and the worker policies coming off the drafter rather than hardcoded.test_dspark_eplb_config.py— the deployment-form probe across five checkpoint layouts.tests/unittest/others/test_lazy_model_zoo.py— spec-mode index drift against the decorators.All but the last guard silent degradation: a dropped Markov head lowers acceptance without failing anything, which is what the accuracy column above cannot see.
GSM8K, 16×GB200, 1319 questions, greedy, RadixArk K3 DSpark drafter:
decoding_type: DFlash, pre-converted drafterdecoding_type: DSpark, pre-converted drafterDSpark, drafter as published, raw prefix-sum captureDSpark, drafter as published, aggregated-stream captureRow 3 → row 4 is the capture fix, on one variable. Acceptance length is reproducible to 0.002 across the repeat; accuracy spans 0.46 between two identical runs, which matches lm-eval's own ±0.4666 stderr, so no accuracy claim is made in either direction. The published-drafter rows need no conversion step, which is the point of the spelling work — the converter that produced our original checkpoint no longer exists.
The refactoring commits were also checked beyond the suite: the Markov merge by bit-for-bit comparison against both pre-merge implementations, the package fold by an AST symbol diff, the
DSv4rename by mechanically rewriting the added lines back and matching them against the removed ones.PR Checklist
