Why and what changed

Part of #475. Hybrid-attention models such as GLM-5.3-Flash keep per-request state in KDA or Mamba layers next to their attention layers. Stage 1 (#565) sends such model configurations to the runtime probe, and Stage 2 (#657, now on main) adds state cache groups to the FPM profile. Before this PR, the probe import accepted only full and sliding-window attention groups, so onboard import-observations refused every hybrid model. With this PR, onboard probe-runtime on vLLM 0.33.0 records every cache group of a hybrid model, and the import turns that record into a grouped FPM profile. Self-service onboarding then takes the cache geometry of a model that intake does not know from the probe, instead of refusing the model.

This PR first targeted vLLM 0.31.0. Dynamo moves to vLLM 0.33, so vLLM 0.31.0 is no longer the target, and the branch now targets exactly vLLM 0.33.0 with the Dynamo scheduler file of the release/1.7.0 branch. The rework adds new commits on top of the reviewed head 0c968207c and merges main five times. A reviewer who approved the vLLM 0.31.0 version can read git diff 0c968207c..HEAD and look again at these parts: the new probe bundle, the version gate for hybrid evidence, the kernel-block views, the prefill checkpoint block and its two profile fields, the loaded configuration commit, the live fixture and its test, and the merges with main in the observer and import code.

What the branch does now:

  • Probe bundle. A bundled vLLM 0.33.0 instrumentation bundle replaces the vLLM 0.31.0 bundle of the earlier head: vllm-0.33.0.json, instrumentation/vllm_033.py and the source notes instrumentation/vllm-0.33.0.md. vllm-0.31.0.json, vllm_031.py and vllm-0.31.0.md are gone. The manifest pins 35 files by SHA-256: 34 vLLM files of tag v0.33.0 (commit 4ba787ec) and one Dynamo file. bundled_instrumentation now serves vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.33.0. The bundle serves every model on the probe route, a plain attention model as well as a hybrid model. GLM-5.3-Flash probes add --language-model-only, so the probe measures the same deployment as collection.
  • Hybrid evidence only from exactly vLLM 0.33.0. A record holds hybrid evidence when a cache group holds layer_specs. The bundled observer writes this evidence only when its adapter version is 0.33.0. The import refuses a record with hybrid evidence whose runtime version is not exactly 0.33.0, also when it comes from a campaign-local bundle. The diagnostic is hybrid cache evidence requires vLLM 0.33.0; the record names vLLM <version>. A record without hybrid evidence imports as before for every version. Main now accepts a final patch release of vLLM 0.32 or 0.33 on the collection route when the audited files are unchanged. Such a patch release serves plain models only: no bundle exists for it, and the import refuses hybrid evidence from it.
  • Cache spec classes. One class table maps vLLM cache spec classes to FPM cache kinds. MambaSpec and CircularBufferSpec become state groups. A UniformTypeKVCacheSpecs group takes the one kind of its inner specs. KpoolTailSpec does not exist in vLLM 0.33.0, and its entries are gone. RSWASpec, HiSparse placement and any other unknown class are reported as unsupported.
  • Kernel-block views. vLLM 0.33.0 binds the layers of an attention group whose backend sets its own kernel block to a view in kernel blocks (v1/worker/utils.py:397-430). The observer records kernel_block_size and kernel_block_stride of each attention group, and each view of a hybrid record holds its kernel_block_stride. A view with stride 0 must hold num_blocks * (block_size // kernel_block) kernel blocks. A view with a positive stride must hold (num_blocks - 1) * kernel_block_stride + block_size // kernel_block kernel blocks. The storage_block_size rule of the earlier head is gone, because vLLM 0.33.0 specs have no such field.
  • One prefill checkpoint block of a state group. With the FlashKDA prefill backend, vLLM 0.33.0 gives a KDA layer one prefill checkpoint block with an alignment of 16 tokens. With the Triton backend, it gives none and no alignment (kda.py:168-176, kda_checkpoint.py:9-10). The observer records num_prefill_checkpoint_blocks and prefill_checkpoint_alignment of every Mamba group. The import accepts a count of 1 with a positive alignment, or a count of 0 with no alignment, and refuses every other combination. The earlier head refused every checkpoint block. The steady blocks_per_request of a state group stays 1.
  • Two profile fields in Python and Rust. FpmCacheGroup gains the optional fields prefill_checkpoint_blocks (0 or 1, state groups only) and prefill_checkpoint_alignment (positive, needs a count of 1), in fpm_profile.py and in resources.rs, with the same texts in the same order. An absent field is not serialized, so a profile without the fields loads and saves to the same bytes as before. The import writes the count for every Mamba group and the alignment for a group with one checkpoint block. A probe claim that states one of the fields must equal the measured value. Sizing and replay do not read the fields yet.
  • Loaded configuration commit. For a model that vLLM loads by its Hub ID, the observer takes the commit from the instance dictionary of the loaded configuration only. A configuration that forwards attribute reads to a nested text configuration can report the commit of another configuration. If the loaded configuration holds no 40-character commit, the observer takes the commit of the pinned revision whose snapshot holds the cached config.json. An unpinned revision gives no snapshot lookup, and the configuration hash stays unknown. The transformers 5.20.2 of the live runs stores no _commit_hash.
  • Other checks of the import. The rules of the earlier head stay, now on the vLLM 0.33.0 layout: pages, allocation and alias ownership, the views of a Mamba layer against its state tensors, the block sizes and hash block size of each scheduler, the Mamba cache mode, and the prefix-caching values of each phase against the resolved cache configuration. The import also checks the kv_cache_max_concurrency of each scheduler against the blocks that vLLM counts for one request at max_model_len in all groups, except in a layout with a sliding-window group. The runner refuses a backend policy that sets --mamba-cache-mode for a run with memory observation.
  • Collection and onboarding. Formal collection bindings, profile verification and onboarding finalization compare the prefix-caching values and the cache group geometry of every phase with the accepted probe. The profile review keeps the line of main for every grouped draft, and adds State groups hold a fixed block count per request. only for a draft with a state group. The probe guidance for a hybrid configuration names vLLM 0.33.0.
  • Live fixture and test. tests/unit/collector/fixtures/glm53flash_vllm_0330_probe/ holds the prefill phase of a live GLM-5.3-Flash probe on vLLM 0.33.0. test_import_accepts_the_live_glm53flash_record_of_vllm_0330 imports it and checks the result. The hand-made GLM-5.3-Flash test records now use the cache geometry of the live record.
  • Rust. The grouped KV forward error names the fixed state bytes of one request (GroupedKvPool::fixed_request_bytes).
  • Docs. The FPM self-service guide, docs/perf-model/memory.md and the instrumentation notes describe the vLLM 0.33.0 import and link the source notes.

What main brought in through the merges: the vLLM 0.32.0 and 0.33.0 plain-model memory observation and the reader of layer-strided allocation records (#765), the patch-release rule of the collection route (#788), sliding-window prefix retention for the DeepSeek V4 replay (#776), a CI check of the provenance of bundled model configurations (#547), and the charge of state cache groups once for each grouped pool (#801). The merges with #765 and #788 had conflicts in the observer, the import and the docs. In each conflict the plain-model code of main stays, and the hybrid additions sit on top of it. The merge with #801 had no text conflict, but both sides change crates/core/src/engine/kv_manager/grouped.rs. Main now keeps the state groups in one stored state charge, so GroupedKvPool::fixed_request_bytes reads that charge, and one test literal of main gets the two new profile fields. The method returns the same value as before for every kind of pool, and the hot functions of the pool are those of main. The message of each merge commit lists its conflicts. The fifth merge takes main at 6c2e6b128, so that the diff of #700 holds only the change of #700. It brought the paired A/F performance models and the native AFD replay (#585), the hash of the semantic deployment inputs in the FPM execution evidence (#747), state_cache with FPM profiles that record runtime memory (#800), a cgroup memory reading without inactive page cache (#816) and two changes of the MTP scheduler pass (#812, #813). It had no conflict. Two files changed on both sides and merged without a text conflict: crates/core/src/engine/scheduler/vllm/core.rs and python/aisimulate/tests/unit/sdk/test_fpm_profile.py. Every AFD entry point of main refuses a vLLM backend, an FPM profile and a state cache, so nothing of it reaches the grouped vLLM scheduler or the FPM profile fields of this PR.

The users of this change are people who onboard hybrid-attention models through FPM self-service onboarding.

Review map

  • Risk level: medium
  • Start with, in this order:
    1. python/aisimulate/collector/fpm_forward/runtime/vllm-0.33.0.json and runtime/instrumentation/vllm-0.33.0.md: what the bundle pins and why.
    2. runtime/instrumentation/observer.py (_layer_views, _loaded_config), runtime/instrumentation/vllm_033.py and runtime/fpm_memory_observer.py (HYBRID_EVIDENCE_VERSION, cache_groups, scheduler_memory): what the probe records.
    3. collector/fpm_forward/runtime_observations.py (_validate_record for the version gate, _layer_views and _layer_strided_views, _prefix_caching_settings, _validate_startup_concurrency, _configuration): the import rules.
    4. collector/fpm_forward/runtime_memory.py (_hybrid_evidence, _normalized_groups): the cache kinds and the checkpoint fields of a profile group.
    5. src/aisimulate_core/fpm_profile.py and crates/core/src/perfmodel/fpm/resources.rs: the two profile fields.
    6. src/aisimulate/support/runtime.py, runtime_collection.py and config_profile.py (_PROBE_GROUP_FIELDS): the comparison with the accepted probe.
    7. src/aisimulate/support/cli.py, collector/fpm_forward/runner.py and bundled_instrumentation.py: the small surface changes.
    8. tests/unit/collector/test_runtime_observations.py (the live fixture test), test_runtime_adapter.py, test_fpm_runtime_memory.py, tests/unit/test_onboard_runtime.py and the fixture folder.
    9. docs/perf-model/fpm-self-service/implementation.md, README.md and docs/perf-model/memory.md.
  • Public or serialized contract changed: yes.
    • vLLM 0.33.0 runtime observation records carry new keys. Cache groups add kind, layer_specs and state, and the state evidence of a Mamba group adds prefill_checkpoint_alignment next to num_prefill_checkpoint_blocks. Allocations add layers and layer_stride. Each layer view adds kernel_block_stride, and each attention_groups entry holds kernel_block_size and kernel_block_stride. Scheduler records add the block sizes, the Mamba cache mode and the startup capacity. Records add prefix_caching. The schema name aisimulate-runtime-observation/v1 stays, and every new key is additive.
    • The FPM cache group gains the optional fields prefill_checkpoint_blocks and prefill_checkpoint_alignment, in Python, in Rust and in the JSON Schema of the cache group. Rust reads cache groups with deny_unknown_fields, so an older AISimulate does not load a profile that holds the new fields.
    • A vLLM 0.33.0 import adds prefix_caching and phase_geometry_differences to the runtime_memory provenance.
    • New diagnostics, among others:
      • hybrid cache evidence requires vLLM 0.33.0; the record names vLLM <version>
      • runtime state cache group lacks prefill checkpoint evidence: <layers>
      • mamba prefill checkpoint blocks must be 0 or 1: <layers>
      • mamba prefill checkpoint evidence is inconsistent: <layers>
      • kernel tensor block coverage contradicts pool block geometry
      • layer view kernel block contradicts its cache spec: <layer>
      • <scheduler> lacks a positive kv_cache_max_concurrency
      • <scheduler> records kv_cache_max_concurrency <value>, which gives <n> blocks per request, but its cache groups reserve <m>
      • runtime observation requires complete prefix-caching evidence
      • runtime prefix-caching evidence contradicts the resolved cache settings
      • runtime prefix-caching evidence contradicts the scheduler block sizes
      • backend policy cannot select the Mamba cache mode for runtime memory observation
      • <phase>: runtime prefix-caching settings differ from the accepted probe
      • <phase>: runtime cache group geometry differs from the accepted probe
    • The diagnostic mamba prefill checkpoint blocks are not modeled: <layers> of the earlier head is gone.
  • Feature Support Matrix: unaffected
  • Compatibility or rollback concern: the instrumentation files change, so the bundle hash changes for every runtime version, vLLM 0.27.0 included. A campaign that planned or accepted a probe before this change must probe again, as after every earlier change to these files. Records of vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 keep their fields and their import results. The vLLM 0.27.0 memory path keeps its version pin and refuses state groups. The probe route takes the commit of a remotely loaded configuration by the rule above for every bundle version.

Evidence

  • Tests: at fc1dec685. From python/aisimulate, .venv/bin/python -m pytest -q tests/unit tests/golden -n 4 --timeout=180 passed 15,117 tests with 32 skipped and 2 failures. From the repository root, PYTHONPATH=$PWD python/aisimulate/.venv/bin/python -m pytest -q -c pytest.ini tests -n 4 --ignore=tests/test_ci_workflow_contracts.py passed 5,980 tests with 7 skipped and 7 failures. All 9 failures are local and also fail with the code of main on the same machine: 7 because the module collector is not importable in the local environment (2 in test_support_cli.py, 4 in test_fpm_profile_workflow.py, 1 in test_fpm_grouped_workflow.py) and 2 in test_ci_qualification.py with baseline_source_sha does not resolve to a commit. tests/test_ci_workflow_contracts.py has one more local failure on this machine (Python 3.13.3), also on main. cargo test --locked -p aisim-core passed 3,266 tests with 0 failed and 3 ignored, and cargo fmt --all -- --check passed. The documented ruff check and ruff format --check pass (1,217 files). scripts/ci/check_copyright.py (1,779 files), check_packaged_legal_files.py, check_bundled_configs.py (128 configurations) and check_documentation_links.py (86 Markdown files) pass. No golden file changed. The head 7a88f3318 adds the merge of main at 6c2e6b128. A local merge with the same tree passed the package suite (15,182 tests, the same 2 failures), the root suite (6,126 tests, the same 7 failures), cargo test --locked -p aisim-core (0 failed) and cargo fmt --all -- --check. At 7a88f3318, ruff check and ruff format --check pass (1,215 files), and so do check_copyright.py (1,800 files), check_packaged_legal_files.py, check_bundled_configs.py (128 configurations) and check_documentation_links.py (87 Markdown files).
  • Fast CI: passed at 1c8fa60c1.
  • Full CI: passed at 1c8fa60c1. Every job of the run passed, and the Stage Application Wheel job was skipped. The build job of the separate GitHub Pages workflow passes on this head.
  • CodeRabbit reviewed commit: fc1dec685, with no inline finding. Seven of its eight pre-merge checks passed. The Cross-Layer Contract check gave one warning: the import records kv_cache_size_tokens without a check, and it skips the kv_cache_max_concurrency check for a layout with a sliding-window group. This description names both, the first under the known limits and the second in the list of the import checks. Neither value decides a number of the profile.
  • Codex reviewed commit: fc1dec685, with no findings (a local codex exec review of the branch against main, codex-cli 0.167.0, gpt-6-astra, reasoning effort max; the banner of the run shows sandbox: danger-full-access). An earlier round at 011dd8de7 found one P2: the hash block check of the import skipped the vLLM 0.33.0 start rule for a scheduler with a single cache group. 02885ca83 adds the rule with tests for both sides, and the rounds at 34a356dc1 and fc1dec685 found nothing.
  • Live probe: one GB300 node with 4 GPUs, the stock vLLM 0.33.0 arm64 image (vllm 0.33.0, commit g4ba787ec9, torch 2.14.0+cu130, transformers 5.20.2, flashinfer 0.7.2.post1), and the Dynamo build ai-dynamo 1.7.0.dev20261109 mounted into the container. Before the GPU runs, all 35 pinned files of the bundle matched the installed runtime, by the check of the bundle and by an independent sha256sum loop. onboard probe-runtime ran three times at TP 4 with the bundled vLLM 0.33.0 bundle, and onboard import-observations returned status: complete with no diagnostics for each run:
    • GLM-5.3-Flash with a model folder (17 min 13 s of GPU time).
    • GLM-5.3-Flash with the Hub ID zai-org/GLM-5.3-Flash and the pinned revision 04c4e9e95c5da8862dced7e5056455116f83a7e0 (14 min 29 s). Every record resolves model_config_sha256 bb8f01c4… through the snapshot of the pinned revision, with no unresolved field.
    • MiniMax-M2.7 as a plain model (11 min 44 s): one FullAttentionSpec group of 62 layers with a 16-token block, layout LBHNC, 203,368 blocks and a concurrency of 397.203125 (= 203,368 / 512).
    • GPU time in total: 44 min 46 s. This includes one attempt of 1 min 20 s that stopped before any engine started, because of a PATH error in the job script.
  • Observed values of the GLM-5.3-Flash record (both GLM runs give the same cache groups and runtime memory):
    • Layout BLHNC. Six groups, all UniformTypeKVCacheSpecs in the workers, in this order: 4 KDA groups of 9, 9, 8 and 8 layers, the attention group of 22 layers (11 indexer and 11 MLA latent layers), and the tail group of 11 rings. The imported profile has 5 state groups and 1 attention group.
    • Block size 2,176 tokens in every group except the tail group (4 tokens). Every group page is 13,516,800 bytes. The pool has 13,697 blocks, and kv_cache_bytes is 185,126,092,800 (= 13,696 × 13,516,800, the null block excluded).
    • Each of the 4 KDA groups holds 1 prefill checkpoint block with alignment 16, the values that only FlashKDA gives. No record names the KDA backend.
    • Prefix caching on, Mamba cache mode align, hash block size 2,176 tokens. The startup concurrency is 27.67070707070707 = 13,697 / 495, with 495 = 482 attention blocks + 1 tail block + 4 × 3 KDA blocks.
    • The model runner is the V2 GPUModelRunner with kernel block sizes [2176, 2176, 2176, 2176, 2176, 4]. The indexer view has shape [43827217, 32, 132], a kernel block of 128 tokens and a kernel block stride of 3,200: (13,697 − 1) × 3,200 + 2,176 / 128 = 43,827,217.
    • The workers record mamba_block_size 2,176, and the scheduler records 16, with block_size 2,176 in both. The multiprocess executor of this TP 4 run aligns the block size only in the worker processes. No import rule and no profile value reads the scheduler value.
  • Dynamo facts: the bundle pins the SHA-256 of dynamo/vllm/instrumented_scheduler.py (2509d616…aaee), which is the file of commit 9abd2ef0d908c4bb323e1b8956ea76a5772a1d41 on release/1.7.0. Dynamo has no 1.7.0 release yet, and PyPI has no 1.7.0 release candidate. The live runs used the nightly build ai-dynamo 1.7.0.dev20261109, which carries that file. The main branch of Dynamo has already changed the file, and the nightly build 1.7.0.dev20261110 has another hash (93d999fd…). So a cherry-pick of that change into the release branch would need a new hash in the bundle. A runtime with another scheduler file leaves the evidence unresolved.
  • An independent review of the whole branch at 18ebfbef8 checked these points, and a second review checked the changes that followed:
    • Plain models compared with main: 78 cases ran on the code of main and of the branch. 66 are byte-identical. 12 differ only in the refusal text for a hand-edited invalid record that a real vLLM 0.27.0 or 0.28.0 probe cannot write, and both sides refuse all 12. The test suite of main also passes on the code of the branch, except 17 tests that the branch changes on purpose and the 2 local failures. The profile review line of a draft without a state group is byte-identical to main.
    • Closed hybrid path: hybrid records under vLLM 0.31.0, 0.32.0, 0.33.1, 0.33.0.post1, 0.33 and 0.34.0 are all refused, and 0.33.0 imports. Of 55 edits of the live fixture, 46 are refused. The other 9 are 7 edits of keys that no import code reads and 2 valid variants.
    • Python and Rust readers: 24 combinations of kind, count and alignment give 0 disagreements between the Python validator and the Rust rule.
    • Live import: validate_observations on the raw evidence of all three live runs gives complete for both phases, and the resources equal the profile drafts of the cluster import.
    • Source: 215 line citations and 34 file hashes of vllm-0.33.0.json were checked against the tag and the Dynamo commit. 11 wrong or shifted citations were corrected, and the second review found all 11 right.
    • Privacy: two scans of the added lines (24,879 lines in the second) and of every string of the fixture found no user name, home or cluster path, host name, e-mail address or secret.
  • Negative or boundary cases:
    • A hybrid record of any version other than exactly 0.33.0 is refused, also from a campaign-local bundle that pins vLLM 0.33.1 or 0.28.0. A plain 0.33.1 record imports as before.
    • A Mamba group without its checkpoint count or alignment key is refused. A count other than 0 or 1, a bool or float count, a count of 1 without a positive alignment, and a count of 0 with an alignment are refused.
    • A view without kernel_block_stride, a view whose block axis does not cover its kernel blocks, and an indexer AttentionGroup with a negative stride are refused or left unresolved.
    • A kv_cache_max_concurrency that is missing, 0, negative, a bool, infinite or inconsistent with the cache groups is refused.
    • RSWASpec as the inner spec of a uniform group is refused as an unsupported runtime cache spec.
    • A scheduler with a single cache group, prefix caching on and a prefix_match_unit other than its block size is refused, because vLLM 0.33.0 does not start with it (v1/core/kv_cache_utils.py:840-858). An external review found this gap, and the single-group case now applies the rule.
    • Each refusal that the branch adds and that a record can reach has its own test. Each of 8 such refusals was disabled in turn, and exactly its test failed.
    • A layer view refusal that could never fire is removed, with a proof and a fuzz run of 400,000 inputs on the old code that never reached it.
  • Expected-value derivation: the live GLM-5.3-Flash record leaves 13,696 usable pool blocks of 13,516,800 bytes. A request at the 1,048,576-token context needs 482 attention blocks of 2,176 tokens and one block in each of the 5 state groups: 487 blocks. test_plan_admits_the_imported_glm_draft_at_its_observed_capacity pins request_peak_cache_bytes = 487 × 13,516,800 = 6,582,681,600 and total_kv_size_bytes = 13,696 × 13,516,800 through onboard plan.
  • Before/after output: no prediction changes. The suites above include tests/golden and the Rust engine tests.

Modeling or data provenance

The fixture python/aisimulate/tests/unit/collector/fixtures/glm53flash_vllm_0330_probe/ is the prefill phase of the Hub-ID run above. It holds 15 files (678,683 bytes): observations.json, the launch manifest of the phase, the scheduler record and the 4 worker records of the phase, and the frozen bundle of that run (its manifest, fpm_memory_observer.py and the 6 files of instrumentation/). The index keeps only the prefill phase and its 5 observation artifacts. generator_request and resource_manifest are removed from the phase, because the one-phase import does not read them. For a public repository, the cluster paths are replaced by /models/... and /work/..., and the node name by node0000, with the same replacement in every file. The import reads these strings only for non-emptiness and for equality between files, and the one-phase import of the fixture gives the same cache groups and runtime memory as the import on the cluster. The fixture holds no weights, no tokenizer files and no token text. The frozen bundle copies keep the hashes that the records name, so pyproject.toml excludes the fixture folder from ruff. The bundle at the head differs from the frozen bundle only in its two notes files.

The vLLM source lines that the code, the notes and the docs cite come from tag v0.33.0. The Dynamo lines come from commit 9abd2ef0d908c4bb323e1b8956ea76a5772a1d41.

Known limits and follow-ups

  • The replay does not yet model the prefill checkpoint block for vLLM 0.33.0. Grouped execution needs prefix_caching: false, and vLLM holds the checkpoint blocks only in align mode, so blocks_per_request: 1 is what vLLM holds in a run that replay accepts. The plan of a request also counts one block for each KDA group and no checkpoint block. The replay rules for vLLM 0.33.0 belong to a later change.
  • The bundle hashes of vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 change on this branch, because bundle files change. A formal collection that was planned before the upgrade is refused by its pinned plan, and the campaign must plan again.
  • onboard probe-runtime --execute for a version without a bundle answers runtime probe requires target-container version detection before execution when the detected version equals the requested one, instead of naming the missing bundle. This message is older than this branch, and the probe is refused in both cases.
  • The attention precision rule of this branch differs from the rule of the next pull request in the stack (feat: collect GLM-5.3-Flash through FPM self-service onboarding on vLLM 0.33.0 #700). Here the declared attention precision must equal the observed model dtype, so the live GLM-5.3-Flash records declare bfloat16. The collection branch uses the checkpoint-native label (fp8 for an fp8 KV cache), and it carries its own fixture from a probe with that label.
  • The rules cover more than the live evidence. SlidingWindowMLASpec, SinkFullAttentionSpec, HiddenStateCacheSpec, the Triton checkpoint case, Mamba mode none, the V1 runner and the uniprocess executor have unit tests only. The live evidence covers FullAttentionSpec, MambaSpec in uniform groups with FlashKDA, MLAAttentionSpec, CircularBufferSpec, align mode, the V2 runner and the multiprocess executor.
  • The import records kv_cache_size_tokens but does not check it. It does not read attention_groups, raw_cache_config or kv_cache_layout, and the placement checks decide the layout. The import accepts a few hand-made inputs that no real runtime writes, such as an edited attention_groups entry or a checkpoint alignment other than 16. None of them changes a profile value that a real record gives.

Add the `state` kind and an optional `blocks_per_request` field to
FpmCacheGroup. A state group holds a fixed number of pool blocks for each
running request, whatever its length, as vLLM does for the state of
linear-attention and Mamba layers. For any positive target its block range
is 0..blocks_per_request, and it is empty at target 0. Its per-request
peak is blocks_per_request * page_size_bytes, under the same 2**53 limit.

validate() requires a positive blocks_per_request on state groups, rejects
a sliding_window on them, and rejects blocks_per_request on every other
kind. The field is left out of the serialized form when absent, so
existing profiles serialize byte for byte as before.

Python still rejects `kind: state` until its mirror lands.

Prove that the grouped pool and the vLLM grouped scheduler path need no
new logic for state groups. A pool test reserves a state group's fixed
blocks next to a growing attention group and releases both. Four
scheduler tests cover prefill and decode, a sliding window whose pages
expire, preemption and resume, and a waiting request whose attention
pages fit the free bytes while its state block does not.

Two plan constants disagreed with the engine and are derived from it
instead. The last pass of the window run completes the request and frees
every group, so both runs report 0 bytes there, not a 20-byte gap. In the
wait test the running request first grows to 9 tokens, so 8 bytes are
free at the waiting pass, not 12. In the preemption run each resume
reserves the state block once; the first resume fills the pool, so the
first request's next pages preempt the second request again.

GroupedKvPool::project runs for every grouped admission check and every
grouped allocation in each scheduler pass. It built its lease from an
empty vector and pushed one range per group, so a pool with five to
eight groups, such as the six groups of GLM-5.3-Flash, allocated twice
per projection. Reserve the group count up front: one allocation for any
group count, and a lease never keeps more capacity than before. Behavior
does not change.

Also say in the ranges doc that a state group's range 0..n counts the
blocks that the request holds.

Mirror the Rust `state` cache kind in FpmCacheGroup. The kind literal
gains `state`, and an optional `blocks_per_request` (an integer up to
2**32 - 1, declared after `sliding_window` as in the Rust JSON) holds
the pool blocks that a running request keeps in a state group.

The model validator applies the Rust rules with the same messages and
in the same order, so the same invalid group gives the same first
error: a state group needs a positive count (zero and negative values
get that message too), a state group cannot have a sliding_window, and
any other kind cannot have a count. A wrap serializer drops an absent
count, so existing profiles dump byte for byte as before and plan IDs
and spec digests do not change.

The runtime memory record gains three optional fields that keep the
prefix-caching settings of the probe that observed it:
enable_prefix_caching, mamba_cache_mode (none or align; vLLM's all mode
is refused) and hash_block_size_tokens (the resolved hash block size, in
tokens). Rust adds FpmMambaCacheMode and the three fields to
FpmRuntimeMemoryConfig and re-exports the enum next to its siblings. The
Python FpmRuntimeMemoryProfile mirrors them.

The fields are evidence only. Selection, sizing and replay do not read
them, and the simulated deployment decides prefix caching. Stage 3 fills
them from the probe.

Both sides apply the same two rules with the same messages and in the
same order: align requires enable_prefix_caching=true, then a hash block
size must be positive. Python gives zero and negative sizes the second
message; Rust rejects a negative size while it parses the u32, like
every other u32 field. A wrap serializer and the serde skip attribute
leave absent fields out of the record, so existing profiles serialize
byte for byte as before and plan IDs and spec digests do not change.

The docs page for runtime memory says what the fields are and that
nothing reads them yet, and the Rust API page lists the new type.

The FPM profile can hold `state` cache groups: groups that keep a fixed
number of pool blocks, `blocks_per_request`, for every running request.
Say so on the pages that describe profile cache groups.

- perf-model/memory.md: the kind list names `state`. A new paragraph
  defines `blocks_per_request` as the pool blocks that a running request
  holds. The count does not change with the request length, and
  `page_size_bytes` is one pool block.
- fpm-self-service/implementation.md: groups can also describe fixed
  per-request state, and the FpmCacheGroup field list adds `state` and
  `blocks_per_request`. The planned-work paragraph says that the profile
  can hold state groups, and that importing runtime state groups and
  guided collection remain planned. The sentence that runtime
  observation import does not accept these groups yet stays.
- replay/engine/kv-cache.md: a state group holds a fixed number of
  blocks for each running request.
- aic-backward-compatibility/migration.md: Rust FpmCacheGroup literals
  supply `blocks_per_request: None` for attention and convolution
  groups, exhaustive matches on FpmCacheKind handle State, and
  FpmRuntimeMemoryConfig literals supply the three new evidence fields
  as None.

One consumer text named only two kinds. `_windowed_group_reason` printed
`sliding_window=None` for a state group, so an import that claims a
linear layout for a measurement with a state group said that the group
had a window. It now says `kind=state`, as it does for `kind=convolution`.
The reasons for windows and convolution groups do not change.

The new tests cover that text, which is the only code change here, and
the Python consumers of a profile with a state group: the KV-relative
load adds the fixed 2 x 64 bytes to the 1,760 bytes of the other groups
(1,888, with the same capacity), and the public predict path runs with
the state group, which shows that the Python dump deserializes into the
Rust engine configuration.

Five small corrections. None of them changes behavior.

- Rename test_state_cache_group_contract and
  test_state_cache_group_block_count_type_and_upper_bound to the
  state_group form, because "state_cache" names the linear engine path.
- Say in the fpm_profile.py comment that a zero or negative block count
  gets the text that Rust gives for zero, because Rust rejects a
  negative count while it parses the u32.
- Call the five groups in the GLM-shaped Rust test fixed per-request
  state groups (four KDA groups and the kpool tail), because the kpool
  tail is not recurrent state.
- Write that a `state` group cannot have a window in the self-service
  guide, because "has no window" next to "an omitted or null window
  retains full history" could read as a null window meaning full
  history.
- Add one sentence to the allocator notes in memory.md and in the
  self-service guide: a `state` group holds its `blocks_per_request`
  blocks from the request's first scheduled forward until the request
  finishes, is cancelled or is preempted, and reserves them again once
  when it resumes.

The sentence that says how the allocator treats a `state` group had 30
words and ended with a condition. Split it into two short sentences with
the same facts: the first says when the blocks are held and released,
and the second says that a resumed request reserves them again once.
Only the two pages that carry the sentence change.

Summary

Risk: High. Human attention should focus on:

  1. vLLM version scope. The implementation pins HYBRID_EVIDENCE_VERSION = "0.33.0", adds vLLM 0.33.0 adapters, and validates exact version 0.33.0. The supplied objective says vLLM 0.31.0. Resolve this mismatch before merge.
  2. Hybrid evidence validation. Import validates layer views, physical storage, cache geometry, prefix-caching settings, scheduler block sizes, and startup concurrency. The concurrency check intentionally skips layouts with a windowed group. kv_cache_size_tokens remains recorded but unused.
  3. State-cache accounting and schema compatibility. State groups now carry checkpoint metadata and fixed per-request charges. fixed_request_bytes() returns u64::MAX on overflow. Python and Rust models enforce matching validation and preserve older serialized profiles.

Changed behavior and contracts

  • Added vLLM 0.33.0 hybrid observation and import support.
  • Added recurrent/Mamba cache specs as state groups.
  • Added prefill_checkpoint_blocks and prefill_checkpoint_alignment to FPM cache-group models.
  • Added phase-aware prefix-caching evidence, geometry comparison, and provenance.
  • Added scheduler startup-capacity validation using Mamba checkpoint and speculative-block counts.
  • Rejected unsupported specs, HiSparse placement, mamba_cache_mode="all", speculative runs, and inconsistent physical layouts.
  • Preserved legacy vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 paths.
  • Added audited adapters, manifests, documentation, tests, and a GLM-5.3-Flash probe fixture.
  • The merge-base diff contains 46 changed files, 25,053 additions, and 268 deletions. Most additions are probe evidence and test fixtures.

Evidence supplied

  • The inspected diff confirms the new observer, importer validation, Rust accounting, public profile fields, and compatibility tests.
  • Python unit/parity tests, Rust tests, formatting, documentation checks, Fast CI, and Full CI are reported.
  • Fast CI and Full CI are reported as passing at 46d9f8329.
  • Environment-related failures are reported as matching the base branch.
  • A live GLM-5.3-Flash probe and import are reported.
  • Review finding counts: not available.
  • Bot feedback is not approval. The bot reported CI status but did not run the tests.

Technical quality

The change has mirrored Python and Rust validation, broad malformed-layout coverage, legacy-profile compatibility tests, source-hash provenance, and explicit rejection paths. The code inspection confirms the documented sliding-window exception and unused kv_cache_size_tokens behavior.

Merge readiness

Conditional. Resolve the 0.31.0 versus 0.33.0 scope mismatch. Confirm the final-head CI logs and required test results. Review the startup-concurrency exception and state checkpoint accounting against the audited vLLM behavior.

This change adds bundled vLLM 0.33.0 runtime observation support, imports hybrid cache evidence into grouped state and attention cache records, validates phase-specific prefix-caching and geometry, extends state-group profile fields for prefill checkpoints, and updates grouped-KV scheduler diagnostics to include fixed per-request state bytes.

Runtime collection now selects worker geometry by phase, compares bound and accepted geometry for the same phase, and checks per-phase prefix-caching evidence. Merged resources now come from the first phase in request.collection_phases. Onboarding and formal-collection tests cover phase ordering, decode mismatches, and per-phase state-group geometry changes.

Explanation

The description follows the repository template closely. It has the Why and what changed, Review map, Evidence, Modeling or data provenance, and Tracking sections. It names the risk level, the public contract changes, compatibility concerns, exact test commands and results, the reviewed commits, live probe evidence, boundary cases, and expected-value derivations. The Feature Support Matrix field is filled as unaffected. Minor gaps: the Review map lists the Codex review as having reviewed commit fc1dec6, but the head commit has moved to 7a88f33 and the Fast/Full CI commit is 1c8fa60, so the tested commit versus head is not fully aligned. The description also runs long, and the title of the Tracking section names issues without a clear closing-keyword mapping for stage work. These are non-critical.

Full details: Modeling And Data Evidence

Explanation

Summary: The PR changes modeled data and selection logic. It adds the GLM-5.3-Flash vLLM 0.33.0 probe fixture, new import validation, the FpmCacheGroup checkpoint fields, and the Rust GroupedKvPool::fixed_request_bytes charge. The PR supplies provenance and reproducible before/after evidence for these changes, so the check passes. Evidence checked in the checkout: - The fixture folder python/aisimulate/tests/unit/collector/fixtures/glm53flash_vllm_0330_probe/ exists. It holds observations.json and an attempts/ tree with the prefill scheduler and worker records, source hashes and launch context. - test_import_accepts_the_live_glm53flash_record_of_vllm_0330 exists in test_runtime_observations.py (line 3077). It imports the live record against the observed values. - fixed_request_bytes is defined in crates/core/src/engine/kv_manager/grouped.rs (line 91). Its unit tests assert explicit values: 0 for attention-only groups and 20 for two 10-byte state blocks. The call site is in core.rs (line 3203). - prefill_checkpoint_alignment is defined in resources.rs with its validation rule (lines 72–122). Evidence in the PR description: - Before/after: the PR states that no prediction changes. The golden suite (tests/golden) was run and no golden file changed. - Comparison with main: 78 plain-model cases were run on main and on the branch. 66 are byte-identical, and the 12 differences are refusal-text only for invalid hand-edited records, which both sides refuse. - Expected-value derivation: the 487-block request peak (482 attention blocks plus 5 state blocks) and the 13,696-block pool are derived explicitly. test_plan_admits_the_imported_glm_draft_at_its_observed_capacity pins them. - Provenance: the fixture records its attempt, bundle, source-file hashes and the GB300 probe run. The PR lists path and identifier replacements in the fixture. - Anomaly checks: each new refusal has its own test. The author disabled each refusal in turn and confirmed that exactly its test failed. - Test failures: the 9 local failures also fail on main, so they do not come from this change. Limits (not a failure under this check): - Replay and sizing do not yet read the checkpoint fields. The PR says so and lists it as a follow-up. - The live runs used one GPU node. The PR states this limit. Linked-repository inspection was unavailable, so I did not rerun the test suites. The verdict rests on the artifacts present in this checkout and the reported evidence.

Full details: Compatibility Boundaries

Explanation

Summary: the PR keeps the Python and Rust public surfaces synchronized, keeps AISim standalone from Dynamo, and keeps the one-wheel and one-crate artifact contract. Disclosed contract changes have documented evidence. Evidence (checked at HEAD 1c8fa60, compared with main a4bbb52): - Python/Rust sync. FpmCacheGroup gains prefill_checkpoint_blocks and prefill_checkpoint_alignment in both python/aisim/src/aisim_core/fpm_profile.py and crates/core/src/perfmodel/fpm/resources.rs. Both sides use the same bounds (0 or 1; positive alignment with a count of 1). The validation error texts match. Field declaration order matches, so serialization order matches. Both sides omit absent fields on serialization. Python uses extra="forbid" and Rust uses deny_unknown_fields. - Disclosed break. Rust deny_unknown_fields means an older AISimulate rejects a profile that holds the new fields. The PR description discloses this under compatibility. It is a deliberate, additive change with tests in resources.rs. - Dynamo standalone. python/aisim/pyproject.toml lists no Dynamo or ai-dynamo dependency. The only "dynamo" hit is a keyword. No shipped src or collector module imports dynamo at package level. The new vllm_033.py imports dynamo.vllm.instrumented_scheduler, but it runs inside the target vLLM container as a probe bundle. vllm_027.py already uses the same pattern on main. The bundle manifest pins one Dynamo file hash, which is a runtime-side pin. - Artifact contract. The diff vs main has no changes to Cargo.toml, crates/core/Cargo.toml, the pyproject.toml dependency list, the maturin config, or crates/core/src/python.rs. The new bundle files (runtime/vllm-*.json, instrumentation/*.md, collector/fpm_forward/**/*.py) fall under existing wheel include globs. The new fixed_request_bytes method is pub(crate), so it is not a new crate-public API. - Versioning and bundles. The bundle gate (bundled_instrumentation.py) now accepts 0.27.0 and 0.33.0. The PR documents that every bundle hash changes, so campaigns must probe again. The schema name aisimulate-runtime-observation/v1 stays, and the new keys are additive. The 0.31.0 probe bundle exists only on the earlier PR head, not on main. The remaining 0.31.0 references in docs and op_backend_facts.yaml refer to stock vLLM collection and predate this PR. Caveat: the PR and the supplied summary cite python/aisimulate/..., but the checkout's diff against main is under python/aisim/.... Both directories exist. I used the python/aisim paths for the diff. This does not change the verdict. Not verified: I did not run the test suites. I relied on the code paths and the PR's reported results for runtime behavior.

Full details: Review Evidence

Explanation

The PR description meets all three parts of the Review evidence check. 1. Commands and results are named. The description lists the exact pytest invocations (package and root suites, with pass and fail counts), cargo test --locked -p aisim-core (3,266 passed), cargo fmt --check, ruff check and ruff format --check, and the check_* scripts. It also gives the GB300 probe commands with GPU time and import status. 2. Negative and boundary validation is present and matches the risk. A "Negative or boundary cases" section covers refused versions (0.31.0, 0.32.0, 0.33.1, 0.33.0.post1, 0.33, 0.34.0), invalid checkpoint count and alignment combinations, missing or zero kv_cache_max_concurrency, missing kernel_block_stride, unsupported RSWASpec, and the single-group hash-block rule. It states that each added refusal has a test and that each refusal was disabled in turn to confirm its test fails. It also reports a 24-combination Python/Rust reader comparison and a 55-edit fixture mutation check (46 refused). 3. Evidence types are distinguished. Local runs are separated from hosted CI, which the description marks as "Fast CI" and "Full CI" at 1c8fa60c1. Local failures are shown as also present on main. The live GB300 probe is described as a real hardware run with its exact image, versions and models. The plain-model parity comparison (78 cases against main) is labeled as such. Reviewer evidence (Codex, CodeRabbit, and an independent review) is attributed separately. Nested workflow check: the repository has an active top-level set under .github/workflows (fast-ci.yml, ci.yml named "Full CI", and pages.yml named "GitHub Pages"). The description cites only these. It does not cite the nested python/aisim/.github/workflows directory as hosted CI. The description also notes that the Stage Application Wheel job was skipped and does not present it as passing. I could not verify the hosted run results from this checkout. That does not affect this check, because the check only fails when inactive nested workflows are cited as CI evidence.

Full details: Cross-Layer Contract

Explanation

The startup-capacity contract is still incomplete. The prior FAIL claims remain true in the current tree. 1. kv_cache_size_tokens has no import consumer. The observer writes it at python/aisim/collector/fpm_forward/runtime/fpm_memory_observer.py:1078. The importer, runtime_observations.py, never reads it. The only other references are fixtures and tests that copy it through (test_runtime_observations.py:458, test_runtime_adapter.py:675, test_fpm_runtime_memory.py:706, :837). No Rust, src/aisimulate, or aisimulate_core consumer reads it either. The implementation doc (docs/perf-model/fpm-self-service/implementation.md, the scheduler-record paragraph) describes the field as recorded startup capacity and does not state that it goes unvalidated. The PR body lists this gap as a known limit. 2. Sliding-window layouts skip concurrency validation. In _validate_startup_concurrency (runtime_observations.py:1167-1168), a windowed group triggers return. The check for kv_cache_max_concurrency is then skipped for the whole scheduler. The docstring (lines 1146-1149) states this. I found no test that exercises a windowed layout against a concurrency mutation. 3. The mutation test covers only one of the two fields. test_startup_concurrency_counts_the_checkpoint_block_in_align_mode (test_runtime_observations.py:1626-1643) changes kv_cache_max_concurrency alone. It leaves kv_cache_size_tokens unchanged. The test therefore accepts a contradictory startup-capacity pair. The PR body discloses these gaps as known limits. Disclosure does not satisfy the check. The new field is a serialized output that no consumer reads, and the windowed path is not tested. The prior resolution asked for validation or removal of the field, tests for the windowed path, and updated docs. None of these changes appears in the current tree.

Resolution

  1. Validate kv_cache_size_tokens and kv_cache_max_concurrency together for every scheduler and phase against the audited vLLM formula. Include sliding-window layouts, or remove kv_cache_size_tokens from the observer, its fixtures, and the docs. 2. Add a mutation test that changes kv_cache_size_tokens alone and expects an incomplete import. Add one for a windowed layout that changes kv_cache_max_concurrency. 3. Update docs/perf-model/fpm-self-service/implementation.md and the PR known-limits text to match the final rule. 4. Regenerate affected fixtures if the hashes or the validated fields change.

Approving, with one should-fix that I'd like resolved before anything reads mamba_cache_mode (Stage 5).

The should-fix: a Mamba group in align mode is recorded and imported with one block per request, but vLLM 0.31.0 holds up to 2 + k + c blocks there (details inline). It doesn't change predictions today. Grouped replay still requires prefix caching off, so vLLM runs mode none, where one block is correct. But the record already contradicts itself. The description's own probe has align mode with blocks_per_request 1, and vLLM's reported concurrency of 13,816 / 491 only works out with 2 blocks per KDA group.

What I checked against v0.31.0

  • Downloaded files: they match the hashes in the manifest.
  • Spec mapping: KpoolTailSpec and CircularBufferSpec hold one ring block each. RSWASpec is rightly unsupported, because its manager frees gap blocks.
  • Allocation model:
    • KVCacheTensor placement and group overlay;
    • the single int8 backing buffer;
    • the indexer kernel block equal to storage_block_size;
    • Mamba view offsets and strides, as MambaBase.bind_kv_cache binds them.
  • Other rules: the scheduler-copy rule, hash-block resolution and the Mamba mode rules.
  • Older records: 0.27/0.28 records import as before.

Minor

  • Stale docs sentence: implementation.md:1403 still says the GLM values are "the source audit's arithmetic until the live probe checks them". The description says the GB300 probe has now checked them.
  • CLI wording: support/cli.py:943-946 tells users that other runtime versions need a campaign-local bundle. But the hybrid path is gated on the literal "0.31.0" in runtime/instrumentation/observer.py. A 0.28 campaign-local bundle would still produce legacy records, which import refuses for MambaSpec. Saying that hybrid import is 0.31.0-only would be more accurate.

This was a static review; I did not run a probe.

The type docs of FpmCacheGroup said that page_size_bytes covers every
layer of the group. That undercounts a state group. One block ID reserves
a whole pool block, and the group with the most bytes per block sets its
size. vLLM also pads each Mamba page to the attention page. For example,
a GLM-5.3-Flash KDA group of 9 layers sums to 10,027,008 bytes, but one of
its block IDs reserves 13,045,120 bytes. The Rust and Python type docs now
say that the page of a state group is one pool block. memory.md and the
grouped review section of implementation.md now limit the old sentence
about all group layers to attention and convolution groups.

block_size_tokens had no stated meaning in a state group. It is now the
block size of vLLM's state spec, as the runtime probe records it: the
Mamba block or the ring block. Sizing and replay do not read it. Planned
grouped prefix caching will read it as the Mamba block of align mode. So
it stays in the group shape that onboarding compares with the probe. The
GLM-shaped test in resources.rs now gives the indexer tail the 4-token
ring block that the probe recorded, in place of 2,176. No assertion
reads this value.

blocks_per_request is now the count that a running request holds between
block boundaries. For a Mamba spec, that is 1 + k, where k is the spec's
num_speculative_blocks. Grouped execution forbids speculative decoding,
so k is 0 there. A ring spec, such as KpoolTailSpec or CircularBufferSpec
in vLLM 0.31.0, holds 1 block for the whole life of the request in every
mode. It has no k, and it never takes a second block.

When a request crosses a block boundary in align mode, a Mamba group also
holds the previous block for one or two steps. vLLM frees that block only
after the processed tokens pass the boundary. The processed tokens leave
out the tokens in flight. vLLM 0.31.0 turns async scheduling on by
default. The engine then schedules the next step before it reads the
output of the current step, so the block stays for two steps. Without
async scheduling, it stays for one step.

vLLM's startup sizing in align mode counts 2 + k + c blocks per request
for a Mamba group. It counts 1 block for a ring group. For GLM-5.3-Flash
at TP 4, the sum over all groups is 491 blocks per request. That is 482
attention blocks at a max_model_len of 1,048,576, 2 for each of the four
KDA groups and 1 for the indexer tail. The probe recorded
13,816 pool blocks and a concurrency of 28.1385, which is 13,816 / 491.

The field keeps the steady count. Grouped replay runs with prefix caching
off. There a Mamba group holds exactly 1 + k blocks. Planned grouped
prefix caching adds the transient block by rule.

The doc of the state cache kind and the grouped review section of
implementation.md now also say "between block boundaries".
docs/perf-model/memory.md gives the same definitions and links the vLLM
lines. Docs and one test value only, with no behavior change.

…memory observer

The shared memory observer helper maps each vLLM cache spec class to an
FPM cache kind through one table: attention or state. A
UniformTypeKVCacheSpecs group takes the one kind of its inner specs. A
mixed group, or a class outside the table, is reported as an
unsupported runtime cache spec.

Each cache group record keeps its old keys and adds kind and
layer_specs, the spec of every layer. A state group adds state:
blocks_per_request, and the MambaSpec fields for a Mamba group.

Worker records read the vLLM 0.31.0 KVCacheTensor.layers list and tuple
caches. Allocation records gain layers, and layer_stride where the
runtime tensor has one. Tensors with a layer stride must share one
buffer and fit in it. Scheduler records add the block size, the hash
block size and the Mamba cache mode. Their groups carry no kind,
because the 0.27.0 importer compares them with the worker groups
without it. The resolved cache config records the block size, the
Mamba and prefix-match settings and the startup capacity outputs where
the runtime has them.

Part of #475.

The page of layer l for block b starts at offset + l * layer_stride +
b * block_stride (vLLM 0.31.0 kv_cache_interface.py:1422-1428). The
region check counted a whole block_stride after the last page, so it
refused every valid block-outer tensor with two or more layers or a
nonzero offset. For a layer-outer tensor the two bounds are equal.

The check now ends the region at the last byte of the last page:
offset + (len(layers) - 1) * layer_stride + (num_blocks - 1) *
block_stride + page <= size. The page is the largest layer_specs page
of the tensor's layers, and it must fit in the block stride.

vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 also have the eight new cache settings and the
scheduler and block pool hash block sizes. Their engine core sets
block_size and the startup capacity only in its own process. So every
older record changed, and worker and scheduler records disagreed.

A keyword-only hybrid_evidence switch, off by default, turns the new
evidence on in cache_groups, worker_memory, scheduler_memory and the
resolved-config reader. Without it the records are byte-identical to
the records written before vLLM 0.31.0 support: the FullAttentionSpec
and SlidingWindowSpec allow-list, shared_by only, no layer specs or
state, no new cache settings and no new scheduler fields or pool check.
The 0.31.0 scheduler record holds the startup capacity, read from its
own cache config; the resolved config no longer carries it.

RSWASpec leaves the class table: its manager frees the blocks between
the prompt and the decode window, which no cache kind models. A layer
that binds an empty tensor tuple or list is refused.

The vLLM 0.31.0 bundle adds an adapter, source notes and a manifest
that pins vLLM db9527a4 and the Dynamo 395f0240 scheduler by their
installed-file hashes. bundled_instrumentation selects it for 0.31.0
and keeps the 0.27.0 bundle for 0.27.0.

The instrumentation observer turns on the hybrid cache evidence of the
shared memory helper for 0.31.0 records only. Each layer keeps a list
of views, block axis first. A view uses the group's kernel block, the
storage block of the MLA indexer or the Mamba group block, and must
hold num_blocks * (block_size // kernel) blocks. The records add the
prefix-caching settings, the layer placement of every tensor and the
resolved cache layout. Only the MLA indexer may store its tokens in
blocks other than the cache block. HiSparse placement leaves
cache.groups unresolved. Records of vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 runtimes
stay byte-identical.

…pecs

The GLM-5.3-Flash fixture now follows vLLM 0.31.0. G0 lists each
indexer before its MLA latent layer, because a GLM layer builds its
indexer caches before its MLA layer, and the scheduler copy of G0 is
the first indexer spec. The MLA latent and indexer views are 3-D,
because their bind_kv_cache squeezes H. A latent storage block now
leaves only the worker record unresolved. An indexer without the
INDEXER role leaves both records unresolved.

A new test runs the plain-attention 0.31.0 fake through the observer
on both runners. The view kernel block takes the storage block only
for MLAAttentionSpec and its subclass, as vLLM does.

… runtime observations

The importers map the vLLM cache spec classes through the shared class
table. A state group needs positive blocks_per_request evidence, and a
Mamba group with prefill checkpoint blocks is refused. The output keeps
blocks_per_request for state groups. The scheduler copy of a uniform
group is compared with the worker's first inner spec, the spec of the
first layer name. The vLLM 0.27.0 memory path still refuses every state
group.

Records whose allocations carry layer_stride take the vLLM 0.31.0
placement rules: one backing storage, every region inside it,
intersecting tensors on the same placement and in different cache
groups, and block-first views of any rank inside the block of their
layer region. Dtype and element-size checks apply to attention layers
and exempt the sparse MLA indexer. Records without layer_stride keep
the packed-slot rules.

Each phase records its prefix-caching settings. All ranks of a phase
must agree, and the hash block size comes from the scheduler. Mode all,
and align without prefix caching, are refused. The record holds the
first collection phase of the role, and the provenance holds every
phase. The mode-dependent cache settings and the engine-core block size
leave the compared runtime settings. Across phases a state group may
differ only in its block size and Mamba mode, and the provenance lists
the block size differences.

The runner loads only the GLM-5.3-Flash text decoder and refuses a
backend policy that selects the Mamba cache mode while memory is
observed.

vLLM 0.31.0 starts the tensors of every cache group at byte 0, with one
tensor per group and spec. So overlapping tensors can differ in offset
and layer count: a short last group in a layer-outer layout, or a group
with two specs in a block-outer layout. The importer refused both,
because it required overlapping tensors to share one placement.

The importer now checks block ownership instead. Each page of a layer
is the span of its spec page at the layer's place in one block.
Tensors whose regions intersect must share one block stride. Two pages
may share bytes only when they hold the same block ID for layers of
different groups. A per-pair range of block offsets keeps the check
free of block enumeration. A layer view must lie inside its layer's
page, not only inside the block, so a block-outer view cannot reach
the next layer's page.

The GLM-5.3-Flash adapter fake now plans and runs an fp8_e4m3 cache,
as the probe does. A new test feeds the records that it writes through
the importer and gets the six GLM groups.

…e the view checks

A vLLM 0.31.0 record without prefix-caching evidence imported complete,
and nothing then checked its Mamba mode, so mode all passed. A phase
with layer-strided worker records now needs the evidence in its
scheduler record and in every worker record. A state group in mode all
is refused from the group itself, with or without the evidence.

The 0.31.0 and the legacy view checks now share one shape check, one
span check and one element-size check. The legacy branch keeps its
check order and texts.

Records without layer_stride may hold only FullAttentionSpec and
SlidingWindowSpec groups, as the vLLM 0.27.0 memory path requires.
Across phases a state group differs only in its block size and Mamba
mode; its layer specs stay compared.

New tests reach every new importer diagnostic, among them the pairing
of a tensor with itself in the block-ownership check, the evidence rule
and the legacy class allow-list.

The vLLM 0.33.0 bundle pins one Dynamo file by hash: the installed
dynamo/vllm/instrumented_scheduler.py of commit 9abd2ef0d908 on the
release/1.7.0 branch. The user docs now say that instead of "Dynamo 1.7",
because Dynamo has no 1.7.0 release and a later nightly build has another
scheduler file. The source notes record the development build of the live

Add a test of its own text for each reachable refusal that no test reached:
a layer view of another storage, an allocation of another size and a layer
that no allocation lists in the import; a uniform group with an inner spec
class that has no cache kind; a backend policy that selects the Mamba cache
mode; and, in the bundled vLLM 0.33.0 observer, layers of one group that
disagree on retention, a group that retains extra tokens, and a negative
kernel block stride.

Pin the other side of two rules: a kv_cache_max_concurrency of 0, a negative
number, a bool or infinity is refused, and a profile state group with one
prefill checkpoint block and no alignment loads, as in Rust.

The refusal of layer views whose dense bytes exceed the spec page can never
be true. The view extent check refuses overlapping elements, so the dense
bytes of the first block of each view fit in the extent that the import
computes for it. Each extent lies inside the page, and the extents of one
layer do not overlap, so their sum, and with it the dense bytes, stays
within the page.

… cache group

The hash block size check returned at once for a scheduler with one cache
group. vLLM 0.33.0 refuses to start with one group when prefix_match_unit
is neither None nor the block size and prefix caching is on or a KV
connector is set (v1/core/kv_cache_utils.py:840-858). The import accepted
such a record. It now applies that rule. The record shows every part of it:
the decode context parallel size is 1 and every accepted record has no
kv_transfer_config. A record that breaks the rule gets the existing text
"scheduler block sizes contradict its cache groups".

Only the import of vLLM 0.33.0 probe records calls this check. Plain records
of the collection route and of vLLM 0.27.0 and 0.28.0 do not reach it.

The docstring of the single-group prefix_match_unit rule now says that vLLM
counts the decode context parallel size as 1 unless the spec is
dcp_sharded. It also says why the single-group checks may compare with the
block of the group: the engine core sets cache_config.block_size from the
group blocks before it resolves the scheduler block, so for one group the
group block, the block size, the scheduler block and the hash block are
equal.

Main brings one change: state cache groups are charged once per grouped
pool. GroupedKvPool::new now takes the state groups out of its group list,
charges their blocks and bytes once into a stored state lease, and adds
that lease to every projection with a positive target. Projections use the
new FpmCacheGroup::validated_block_range, which skips the per-call checks,
and the lease keeps a block count instead of per-group ranges. Bytes, block
counts and admission decisions do not change.

Both sides change crates/core/src/engine/kv_manager/grouped.rs and
crates/core/src/perfmodel/fpm/resources.rs. Git merges them without a text
conflict. This merge resolves two points where the changes meet:

- Main's new test state_groups_charge_their_sum_only_for_a_positive_target
  builds FpmCacheGroup with a struct literal. The literal now also sets
  prefill_checkpoint_blocks and prefill_checkpoint_alignment to None, as
  every other literal does for a group without a prefill checkpoint block.
- GroupedKvPool::fixed_request_bytes summed the state groups in the
  pool's group list, which no longer holds them. It now returns the bytes
  of the state lease that the pool computes when it is built, or u64::MAX
  when those bytes overflow. So the grouped KV forward error still names
  the fixed state bytes of one request. The method reads a stored value,
  and its only caller builds that error text.

Arsene12358 and others added 2 commits November 12, 2026 03:17
Main brought six changes since the last merge. The largest extends the
Rust core with paired A/F performance models and a native AFD replay.
The others hash the semantic deployment inputs in the FPM execution
evidence, allow state_cache with FPM profiles that record runtime
memory, exclude inactive page cache from the cgroup memory usage, keep
the native MTP plumbing out of the vLLM scheduler pass of a model
without MTP, and count the prefill headroom of MTP with G2 from the
allocation watermark.

No file conflicted. Two files changed on both sides and merged cleanly:
crates/core/src/engine/scheduler/vllm/core.rs and
python/aisimulate/tests/unit/sdk/test_fpm_profile.py.

Automated approval from the AISimulate PR Review Monitor, enabled by Jason.

Reviewed commit: d32900bcf7e35a856ab86e5dc08873d5102b6bb7

9.3/10 · high confidence

This PR imports vLLM 0.33.0 hybrid attention and recurrent-state cache groups through the runtime probe into FPM profiles, including physical-layout and checkpoint validation. The incremental update switches CI to the renamed AISim runner pools and workspace paths and adds a runner canary.

9.3/10, APPROVE: no actionable current-head findings were confirmed. All 46 previously reviewed PR files are byte-identical; the 11 existing CI files contain only runner/HOME substitutions and a lint-label addition, and the new canary passed on all three pools. All 562 targeted contract tests passed across the initial run and corrected four-test PATH rerun. Full CI and fresh upstream reviews remain separate merge gates.

This approval records the code-review judgment. Remote CI completion and merge readiness are handled separately in the approved phase.

@jasonqinzhou I replaced your merge commit 425fa1ead with a signed copy, c4eb77f47. It has the same tree, parents, author and message. The unsigned commit kept Full CI from starting. @Harrilee Both of your threads have answers for the vLLM 0.33.0 version. Can you check them and resolve them if they are settled? The merge rule needs every thread resolved.
