RFC: #19232.

This MR also takes care of A1, P1, K1, K2 items in Junyi's renderer refactor design doc since they are prerequisite.

Parity tests to existing renders are currently put at another MR. TBD on whether we want these test in main branch.

Three ways to use the shared renderer

(As requested by dynamo team)
image


  • tensorrt_llm/serve/render/: one prompt-preparation core (prepare_chat_request, render_conversation, render_chat, tokenize_rendered) shared by the chat route, completions, the multimodal-encoder route, count_tokens, the KV-cache governor, Responses and the KV-aware router; RenderResources, a rendering fingerprint, GenerateRequest wire type.
  • POST /v1/chat/completions/render, /v1/completions/render and /generate (embedded behind TRTLLM_ENABLE_RENDER_ENDPOINTS=1), and the trtllm-render standalone app that loads only tokenizer and config (no weights, no GPU).
  • Router writes rendered ids back only when every known worker reports a matching render_fingerprint; TRTLLM_RENDER_LEGACY=1 restores old behavior.
  • Serving extension hooks (render_prompt, output_mode, serialize_tool, ...) and lazy tensorrt_llm.serve imports.
  • Tests: golden replay of pre-merge outputs (render_golden/), parity across the Python API, embedded routes and standalone HTTP, core/http/callers/standalone.

Dev Engineer Review

The change centralizes prompt rendering and tokenization for serving, routing, token counting, Responses, and resource governance. It adds shared render resources, extension hooks, opt-in worker render endpoints, fingerprint-based token reuse, and the standalone CPU-only trtllm-render application.

Verify legacy behavior, fingerprint matching, tokenizer truncation, extension hooks, and lazy imports. The supplied evidence supports chat and completions render routes, but does not establish a /generate route. No test execution results are supplied.

QA Engineer Review

The change adds tests for shared tokenization, render-core behavior, HTTP routes, standalone startup, render callers, serving extensions, and lazy imports. It updates disaggregated, router, chat-template, Anthropic-route, and serving-extension tests.

tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_cpu.yml lists test_render_callers.py, test_render_core.py, test_render_http.py, test_render_standalone.py, test_serve_lazy_import.py, and test_serving_extensions.py. l0_dgx_b200.yml lists the GPT-OSS KV-cache-aware disaggregated test. No changed tests are confirmed in manual-QA lists.

Coverage includes valid and invalid requests, truncation, multimodal rejection, legacy mode, fingerprints, Harmony, tool handling, standalone startup, and lazy loading. No test results are supplied. Coverage verdict: needs follow-up.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 770c5

The shared renderer can return token IDs that omit media expansion for some multimodal chat requests, and the KV-aware router may, under concurrent load, forward pre-rendered token IDs to a worker whose rendering configuration differs. The formatting check also fails. These should be fixed before merge; earlier concerns about completion request forwarding, event-loop blocking, and tokenizer fallback have been addressed.

82-82: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Declare request-body schemas for both render routes.

Both handlers read Request directly. FastAPI therefore does not document their request bodies in OpenAPI, although ServingRender validates them later. Generated clients cannot discover the accepted chat or completion body from these routes. Add the corresponding request schemas while preserving the current 400 error handling. (fastapi.tiangolo.com)

Based on learnings: “define request and response bodies as explicit Pydantic models rather than raw dicts or untyped parameters.”

1885-1887: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Test name and docstring still describe the old loader.

The test name and the first docstring line say _get_tokenizer calls TransformersTokenizer.from_pretrained. The router now calls load_hf_tokenizer. The test only passes because load_hf_tokenizer reaches that patched method. Update the docstring first line to match the new contract. The fixed-directory case also lacks the legacy is False assertion that the default case has, so add it.

Thanks for the follow-up. To answer the direct question first: Dynamo does not need /v1/generate today. The EPP only needs token_ids for routing, and this PR gives us that. My concern is the shape of the render response, because once Dynamo integrates against it, changing it is a breaking change for us. So I'd like to settle the schema now even if the execution endpoint lands later.

Proposal

Make the render response the JSON form of the object TRT-LLM already passes from preprocessing to the executor, GenerationRequest (tensorrt_llm/executor/request.py), with the original OpenAI body attached as an optional source section for derendering:

{
  "schema_version": 1,
  "request_id": "chatcmpl-...",
  "model": "...",
  "prompt_token_ids": [128000, 128006, ...],      // final: forced-tool prefix already applied
  "sampling_params": {                            // SamplingParams field names, request-provided fields only
    "max_tokens": 32, "temperature": 0.7,
    "stop": ["</s>"], "logit_bias": {"1234": -100.0},
    "guided_decoding": {"json": "{...}"}          // response_format or forced tool_choice
  },
  "streaming": false,
  "priority": 0.0,
  "cache_salt": null,
  "lora_request": null,
  "scheduling_params": {"agent_hierarchy": null},
  "conversation_params": null,
  "disaggregated_params": null,                   // existing wire type, unchanged
  "multimodal_params": null,                      // reserved; filled when MM lands
  "render_context": {                             // decisions read off the rendered text
    "resolved_thinking": {"qwen3": true},
    "prompt_tokens_excluded_from_usage": 0,
    "render_fingerprint_digest": "..."
  },
  "source": {"kind": "chat", "request": { /* original body */ }}
}

/v1/completions/render returns an array of these, one per prompt. Everything except render_context and source is a GenerationRequest constructor argument, so a future /v1/generate is SamplingParams(**provided) followed by the existing _prepare_sampling_params path that generate_async already runs.

Why not "an exact body for /v1/chat/completions"

  1. The PR already shows it is not safe. router_utils.py refuses to write prompt_token_ids back whenever PreparedContext is non-trivial, because a chat request carrying only ids loses the reasoning mode and the kimi usage offset that the worker derives from the rendered text. Fixing that means adding more engine-internal fields to ChatCompletionRequest. render_context is the same information in a place that does not touch the OpenAI schema.
  2. Multimodal has no slot. CompletionRequest has no messages, and chat with prompt_token_ids plus image URLs would make the worker re-fetch and re-process media. multimodal_params is already a GenerationRequest field, so routing features and the execution payload become the same object.
  3. Two shapes downstream. A sidecar must branch on chat vs completion and handle two request types. One engine-native shape covers both.
  4. Tokens-out. The chat route has no detokenize and returns text. SamplingParams.detokenize already exists, so the engine-native shape gets tokens-out for free.
  5. Backend uniformity. vLLM /inference/v1/generate and SGLang /generate both take the engine's own request type. Dynamo can treat TRT-LLM the same way rather than special-casing it.

Keeping the renderer's config surface small

The reasonable objection is that emitting a finished SamplingParams drags engine config into the renderer: generation_config.json defaults, stream_interval, backend for logprobs handling, model-family logits processors. I'd avoid that by splitting at the existing stage boundary:

  • Renderer owns request semantics: template, tokenization, forced-tool prefix and guided decoding, logit_bias as a sparse map. It needs tool_parser, reasoning_parser and the HF config for vocab size, all of which trtllm-render already accepts.
  • Worker owns engine binding: _prepare_sampling_params as today, applying generation_config.json defaults, end_id/pad_id, stop-word tokenization, stream_interval, LoRA resolution, and the auth check on subagent_affinity_id.

The wire sampling_params carries only fields the request set, with omission meaning unset. TRT-LLM already tracks this via _record_sampling_params_request_fields and _request_provided_fields, so the worker can rebuild that set from the keys present and _apply_generation_config_defaults keeps working. logprobs and top_logprobs go through as requested and the worker decides how to honor them, which removes the backend dependency entirely.

Concretely for this PR

  • Rename the current GenerateRequest fields to the shape above, or at minimum nest today's output under source and add prompt_token_ids and sampling_params at the top level.
  • Apply the forced-tool prefix in the renderer so tokens_trusted can go away. The renderer has the tool parser.
  • Promote PreparedContext into render_context on the HTTP body. Today it is computed but dropped before the response is built.
  • Leave /v1/generate for a follow-up. With the schema settled it is additive.

Requesting changes for the inline issues: forwarded requests can lose their tool_calls, Kimi-K3 Responses tokenization changed, and truncation races on the shared tokenizer. Plus one question on gpt-oss routing.

Thanks for the PR! I found 2 additional cases where matching fingerprints can allow different prompt tokens.

  • Request-selected templates: Two configurations can share the same default templates but resolve chat_template="alternate" to different text. The current fingerprint checks only the defaults with and without tools, so it misses this difference. fingerprint.py:173–182
  • Truncation direction: Supplied tokenizer instances can use different truncation_side settings and still have matching fingerprints. When truncation is requested, one keeps the beginning of the prompt and the other keeps the end. fingerprint.py:126–143

In both cases, the router can forward tokens that differ from what the worker would produce. Could we include selectable named templates and the effective truncation direction in the fingerprint, with tests for both cases?

PS: If compatibility cannot be checked, the worker should render the original request.

Add a Responses wiring test for the render options.

The existing test passes chat_template directly to _create_input_tokens and supplies no tools. It cannot catch a missing chat_template argument in openai_server.py or a missing serialize_tool call. Add a test that calls request_preprocess with a server template and a tool, then asserts the template and extension-serialized tool reach the rendered prompt. Also cover TRTLLM_RENDER_LEGACY=1, which must remove both settings.

Ensure the Harmony vocabulary is available in CI.

use_harmony_vocab calls pytest.skip when tiktoken_vocab is absent. l0_cpu.yml runs the entire unittest/disaggregated directory, so this parity assertion may be omitted while the CI job remains successful.

Reconcile with NVIDIA#19964, which renders Responses prompts through serve/render:
- _create_input_tokens builds the RenderResources first (tool serialization
  needs it), renders developer messages as system, then parses and renders
  once through render_conversation.
- The developer-role probe resolves the server's chat template too, the
  template the render now uses.
- Tests that fake the render path stub render_conversation and set the
  server's chat_template.

Follow-up to NVIDIA#19964. Every chat request now becomes a prompt through serve/render, and nothing
consults a switch for the pre-merge behavior.

Removed
- TRTLLM_RENDER_LEGACY, legacy_render_enabled and RenderResources.legacy_view.
- The router's own renderer (render_chat_request_for_tokenizer and
  tokenize_chat_request_for_serving in chat_tokenization.py), the router's legacy
  tokenization path and count_tokens' private estimate. The Harmony tokenization helpers stay.

Added
- render_chat_for_length, for the two callers that only need a length for a request the exact
  render_chat refuses (the KV-aware router's routing ids and count_tokens). It renders a copy of
  the request that render_chat accepts: media is left out, a tool_choice that forces a tool
  (required or a named function) is cleared while none and auto are kept, and the model is
  treated as a plain text model (no extension preprocessing or refusals, no own input
  processor), keeping the extension's tool serialization. Harmony keeps its own conversion and
  falls back to the tokenizer's template for messages it cannot convert. System blocks, tool
  definitions and the chat template stay in the length; the media's own tokens do not. The
  result is never forwarded to a worker. render_chat stays exact-or-refuse.
- UnrenderableMessagesError (a subclass of UnsupportedRenderError) for messages the request
  model rejects, such as object-valued tool-call arguments. The router routes such a request
  on no ids and leaves it to the worker.

Fixed
- The router decided whether to forward its ids from state kept on the instance, so a second
  thread could reset it mid-decision and forward ids to a worker whose rendering fingerprint
  differs. The decision and its reasons are local values now (WriteBackDecision).

Behavior
- count_tokens counts the prompt the chat route builds, with system blocks, tools and the chat
  template, and no longer prints an image's URL or base64 text into the prompt. The image's own
  tokens are not counted.
- A request the router cannot render exactly no longer crashes it.

Tests: the legacy-switch tests are removed, the kwargs-guard tests now go through the shared
pipeline, and tests cover the length render, the router end to end, count_tokens for media,
passthrough and tool requests, and concurrent write-back decisions.

passthrough and tool requests, and concurrent write-back decisions.

TensorRT-LLM now exposes a shared /v1/chat/completions/render endpoint and a
CPU-only trtllm-render process (NVIDIA/TensorRT-LLM#19964). Add a
"trtllm-render" value for DYN_EPP_TOKENIZER_PROTOCOL and a TrtllmRenderClient
that posts the unchanged chat body and reads token_ids from the returned
RenderedRequest, sharing the existing render_http transport and error mapping.

Add a raw-worker on-ramp manifest (trtllm-agg.yaml) with stock trtllm-serve
workers publishing native streaming KV events over ZMQ, a CPU-only renderer,
and the standalone EPP; document it in the onramp README and stop claiming
vllm-render is the only protocol.

DEP #11661 Milestone 3 (aggregated). Linear DYN-4438.

…t, then prove it with an A/B

When a check finds a serving defect, the loop now starts by looking for a
fix that already exists: the Kernel Factory campaign branches carry most
harness fixes found under production traffic (the K3 branch holds all of
them), and an open upstream PR may already touch the same code. A branch
commit seldom applies to main as is, so the section says how to see the
conflicts without a worktree and when to port or rewrite.

A fix is then proven by an A/B on one node: main and main plus the fix,
served side by side with the same model and deterministic configuration,
given the same replayed corpus and the same harness tasks, judged by
verdict.py per side. The fix's rule must reach zero and every other count
must stay put, and each regression test must fail on the old code by
assertion rather than at collection.

The offline render note now names the shared render pipeline that the chat
path and count_tokens use since NVIDIA#19964.

…i x main fixes

The A/B ran on one GB300 node with Qwen3-30B-A3B and pi 1.4.0: main against
main plus PR NVIDIA#19883 and the fixes. Both sides came from the same
precompiled CI build, so they differed only in Python. Every rule the pi
run had tripped on main went to zero, and count_tokens turned out to be
fixed on main already by NVIDIA#19964.

The record also notes two other findings: an MoE model that stays
nondeterministic under greedy decoding makes the S4 differential
inconclusive, so render-level evidence comes from the S3 replay; and a
defect where streamed Messages requests lost their request metrics.

Follow-up to NVIDIA#19964. Every chat request now becomes a prompt through serve/render, and nothing
consults a switch for the pre-merge behavior.

Removed
- TRTLLM_RENDER_LEGACY, legacy_render_enabled and RenderResources.legacy_view.
- The router's own renderer (render_chat_request_for_tokenizer and
  tokenize_chat_request_for_serving in chat_tokenization.py), the router's legacy
  tokenization path and count_tokens' private estimate. The Harmony tokenization helpers stay.

Added
- render_chat_for_length, for the two callers that only need a length for a request the exact
  render_chat refuses (the KV-aware router's routing ids and count_tokens). It renders a copy of
  the request that render_chat accepts: media is left out, a tool_choice that forces a tool
  (required or a named function) is cleared while none and auto are kept, and the model is
  treated as a plain text model (no extension preprocessing or refusals, no own input
  processor), keeping the extension's tool serialization. Harmony keeps its own conversion and
  falls back to the tokenizer's template for messages it cannot convert. System blocks, tool
  definitions and the chat template stay in the length; the media's own tokens do not. The
  result is never forwarded to a worker, and the caller's request keeps its tool calls.
  render_chat stays exact-or-refuse.
- UnrenderableMessagesError (a subclass of UnsupportedRenderError) for messages the request
  model rejects, such as object-valued tool-call arguments. The router routes such a request
  on no ids and leaves it to the worker.
- HarmonyConversionError (a subclass of RuntimeError) for the Harmony adapter's conversion
  failure, so the fallback for it does not swallow an unrelated RuntimeError. The router
  routes such a request on no ids.

Fixed
- The router decided whether to forward its ids from state kept on the instance, so a second
  thread could reset it mid-decision and forward ids to a worker whose rendering fingerprint
  differs. The decision and its reasons are local values now (WriteBackDecision).

Behavior
- count_tokens counts the prompt the chat route builds, with system blocks, tools and the chat
  template, and no longer prints an image's URL or base64 text into the prompt. The image's own
  tokens are not counted.
- The router no longer crashes on a request with media, object-valued tool arguments or a
  Harmony conversion error. A request the chat template rejects (a keyword argument it never
  reads) still raises, as before.

Tests: the legacy-switch tests are removed, the kwargs-guard tests now go through the shared
pipeline, and tests cover the length render, the router end to end, count_tokens for media,
passthrough and tool requests, and concurrent write-back decisions.
