Summary

On SGLang main, a Kimi-K3 or Kimi-K2.5 chat request with an image fails with HTTP 400, and text requests work. sgl-project/sglang#43043 made the Kimi processors derive each image identity from the image bytes, and they raise ValueError: Caller-supplied mm_hashes are not supported for Kimi. when a request carries mm_hashes. The aggregated SGLang worker forwards the frontend's mm_hashes whenever the engine accepts the argument, with no model check. The worker now stops forwarding them when the SGLang processor owns image identity (uses_wide_image_identity). All other models keep forwarding.

  • Worker gate: only the worker sees the SGLang processor. The frontend cannot.
  • Flag, not method: Kimi-VL inherits the rejection helper but never calls it, and its flag stays false, so the flag is the exact signal.
  • Routing: Kimi image blocks still miss in the KV router, because their pads come from data that the frontend does not have.
  • Out of scope: the dedicated multimodal decode path sends a hash inside image items, which Kimi also rejects.

Validation

SGLang main 5e79333c95 processors, built from config, tokenizer and preprocessor files only (no weights), called the way the worker calls them:

Kimi-K3, one image with mm_hashes:  ValueError: Caller-supplied mm_hashes are not supported for Kimi.
Kimi-K3, one image, no mm_hashes:   ok, four wide pads
forwards mm_hashes:  Kimi-K3  main True -> PR False;  Qwen3-VL  main True -> PR True

The new unit test fails on main and passes here. components/src/dynamo/sglang/tests: 1083 passed; the 2 failures also fail on main in this environment.

Walkthrough

SGLang now disables external multimodal hashes when the tokenizer’s multimodal processor uses wide image identity. A regression test verifies that the tokenizer patch is not installed in this case.

supports_external_mm_hashes returns false when the processor uses wide image identity. A regression test checks that _tokenize_one_request remains unmodified.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to cd89b

The change is likely mergeable, but the aggregated multimodal call should be covered to prevent forwarding hashes that affected Kimi processors reject.

The description explains the failure, implementation approach, affected models, validation results, scope limits, and related issues. It does not use every template heading, but it provides the required information and includes issue references.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #16975 requires Kimi-K3 image requests to succeed after the SGLang processor change. supports_external_mm_hashes now returns False when mm_processor.uses_wide_image_identity is true. This prevents the worker from forwarding rejected caller-supplied mm_hashes to Kimi. The added regression test verifies this gate and the reported validation confirms Kimi accepts the request without mm_hashes.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The pull request changes only SGLang compatibility gating and adds a focused regression test. Both changes directly support issue #16975. No unrelated implementation or test changes are present in the reviewed diff.

Add an aggregated-path assertion for omitted hashes.

The new test calls supports_external_mm_hashes directly. It does not inspect the arguments passed to engine.async_generate.

The existing forwarding test covers only the true branch because it sets _mm_hashes_supported = True manually. Add a false-branch test with caller hashes and assert that the aggregated engine call omits mm_hashes. This is distinct coverage. It can catch a regression in the production call-site condition, although a handler constructed with the real constructor is still required to test constructor caching itself.

Failure details

1 job did not finish: sglang Deploy Test / agg_router was cancelled by GitHub after hitting its 25-minute job timeout while the deployment was still waiting for pods to be scheduled. This is not a manual or fail-fast cancel; no other job failed.

⏰ sglang Deploy Test / agg_router: job exceeded 25m timeout, DGD stuck in insufficient_capacity / DiskPressure eviction

Job: sglang Deploy Test / agg_router · Failed step: Run Dynamo Deploy Test · Logs: gh run view --job 119505960774 -R ai-dynamo/dynamo --log-failed

##[error]The operation was canceled.
Annotation: The job has exceeded the maximum execution time of 25m0s

The sglang-agg-router DynamoGraphDeployment spent about 20 minutes in insufficient_capacity because its Frontend pod could not be scheduled. An earlier Frontend pod was evicted for node DiskPressure, and the log also shows repeated grove-operator SyncError conflicts. Pods were finally scheduled at 22:12, and the job timed out at 25 minutes while they were still initializing, so no test request ever ran. This is a cluster capacity/scheduling (infrastructure) problem, and rerunning the failed jobs is likely enough.
