📌 Description

This PR turns flashinfer-jit-cache into a small top-level shim backed by independently installable, architecture-specific provider wheels. It retains legacy monolithic cache discovery as a fallback while adding:

  • provider package metadata and entry-point discovery
  • exact CUDA architecture matching, including suffixed targets such as sm90a, sm120f, and sm121a
  • a default installation mode whose shim dependencies name the complete published provider set
  • a minimal installation mode that selects only an explicitly requested or locally detected provider, with no implicit SM80 baseline
  • provider wheelhouse build, binary inventory, installation, and JIT-disabled GPU smoke tooling
  • AOT capability gating so unsupported modules, currently BGMV MoE on SM80, are omitted from that provider rather than failing its build

The provider matrix is intentionally independent of the size-pruned monolithic wheel matrix. Architecture-specific wheels may therefore preserve useful native targets such as SM121a without adding them back to every monolithic wheel. Native providers are SASS-only; the shim does not rely on PTX or an SM80 compatibility baseline.

🧪 Validation

Provider canaries

Two end-to-end CUDA 13.0 canaries have exercised provider build, strict binary inspection, shim/provider installation, provider discovery, top-level import without CUTLASS DSL, and a JIT-disabled silu_and_mul numerical smoke:

System Target Provider result
x86_64 A100 test system A100 / SM80 113.8 MiB; every CUDA-bearing module SM80-only; zero PTX
DGX Spark aarch64 GB10 / SM121a 173.0 MiB; 558 modules; every CUDA-bearing module SM121a-only; zero PTX

The x86_64 A100 artifact was built before the final BGMV capability correction and contained 207 modules. Final-branch source-level SM80 AOT enumeration produces 206 modules with bgmv_moe absent, and the associated focused suite passed 30 tests. A final-head SM80 provider wheel still needs to be rebuilt to confirm that exact packaged inventory.

The Spark provider could load its packaged BGMV module, but a BGMV numerical invocation exceeded the device's dynamic shared-memory limit (approximately 216 KiB requested versus approximately 101 KiB available). That is a pre-existing kernel/runtime limitation and is outside this packaging change; the independent silu_and_mul provider smoke passed.

Current branch and CI

  • CodeRabbit passes and all inline review threads are resolved.
  • Pre-commit, documentation, and public API/documentation checks pass.
  • The existing monolithic release workflow passes for cu129, cu130, and cu134 on both x86_64 and aarch64. These jobs validate backward compatibility, not provider-wheel publication.
  • The manually authorized full PR test run passes all four cu129/cu130 x64/arm64 AOT build-import jobs, all five A10G JIT shards, and the T4 JIT job. The H100 JIT job is still running as of September 4, 2026.
  • After the latest review fixes, the focused provider suite passed on an x86_64 A100 test system in a disposable container: 25 passed, 1 warning. pre-commit, bash -n, and git diff --check also pass.

The branch is currently mergeable. It will be rebased onto main once more before merge; intervening main-branch changes reviewed so far do not alter the provider packaging or AOT capability implementation.

Remaining Validation

Before enabling provider publication in a release workflow:

  • let the current H100 PR test finish and address any real failure
  • rebuild the final-head SM80 provider and repeat strict inventory, install, and GPU smoke validation
  • build and inspect a real cu134 provider artifact; current cu134 CI covers only the legacy wheel and static configuration paths
  • validate default all-provider installation plus minimal auto-detected and explicit-target installation against a multi-provider wheelhouse
  • teach scripts/update_whl_index.py to recognize provider distribution names
  • add an artifact-only shadow provider matrix to nightly/release automation and collect size, build-time, homogeneous GPU, and heterogeneous GPU results before changing the public release format

Reviewer Notes

The main policy question is the explicit provider coverage matrix for each CUDA and CPU architecture. The current implementation makes the conservative choices: exact target matching, literal shim dependencies, no closest-lower-architecture inference, no implicit SM80 provider, and normal JIT compilation when no compatible AOT provider is available.

This is ready for human review of the package contract, installation UX, and release shape. The remaining items above are release-enablement validation rather than evidence that the architectural split itself has not been exercised.

…ache wheel (#4527)

## 📌 Description

#3684 added `12.1a` to the aarch64 arch lists for **both** cu129 and
cu130. Wheel sizes from the Actions artifact API, last good nightly (Aug
11) vs Aug 14:

| wheel | Aug 11 | Aug 14 | headroom vs 2 GiB |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| cu128 x86_64 | 1.238 | 1.274 | 743 MiB |
| cu128 aarch64 | 1.228 | 1.264 | 753 MiB |
| cu129 x86_64 | 1.861 | 1.906 | 96 MiB |
| **cu129 aarch64** | 1.848 | **2.143** | **−147 MiB** |
| cu130 x86_64 | 1.445 | 1.480 | 533 MiB |
| cu130 aarch64 | 1.619 | 1.852 | 151 MiB |

Only cu129 aarch64 is actually over. The cu130 wheels are missing from
those releases as collateral: the upload loop is `for cuda in 128 129
130; do for arch in x86_64 aarch64` under `shell: bash -e`, so it aborts
on the 4th asset and never attempts the cu130 pair.

Subtracting each aarch64 wheel's delta from its same-CUDA x86_64 delta
prices the new target at **+256 MiB** on cu129 aarch64 and +204 MiB on
cu130 aarch64. Removing it from cu129 aarch64 lands that wheel at
roughly **1.893 GiB** (~110 MiB headroom). cu130 aarch64 keeps `12.1a`
and fits at 1.852 GiB.

## 🔍 Related Issues

Fixes #4519. Caused by #3684. Wheel splitting (#4514) remains the
durable fix —
cu129 x86_64 has only 96 MiB left and grew ~2.8 MiB/day between Jul 22
and Aug 12.

## Reviewer Notes

Two questions worth a maintainer's call before this comes out of draft:

1. @jethachan — does SM121 need a warm AOT cache on **CUDA 12.9
aarch64** specifically,
or is cu130 aarch64 sufficient? #3684's validation notes cover GB10 and
RTX PRO 6000
   but do not say which CUDA minor was used.
2. The alternative is to keep `12.1a` and instead land per-module
filtering in the style
of #3947. That needs a minor-version filter added to
`get_nvcc_flags_list`, which today
filters on major version only — more invasive than seems wise for
v0.6.18.

PR Review Screening

CI verdict: ⛔ hold — CI auto-approval is withheld pending a maintainer's look; this is not a merge block
Review category: live
Early stop: yes — screening halted after the Security section; Packaging / Presentation / Implementation / Experimental track were not evaluated

Reason disclosed at the maintainer's request. The screen normally withholds it; it is published here because this PR is a plausible over-fire of a rule that changed on 2026-09-04, and the author deserves to see what tripped it rather than guess.

What triggered it

Two things, both in newly added code:

1. New process-spawning in build and verification code

File Line
flashinfer-jit-cache-provider/build_backend.py import subprocess / result = subprocess.run(
scripts/verify_jit_cache_provider_wheelhouse.py five subprocess.run( call sites
tests/jit/test_jit_cache_providers.py subprocess.run(["bash", "-c", script], check=True)

2. Change to where packages are installed from

  • scripts/jit_cache_build_common.shlocal pytorch_index_url="https://download.pytorch.org/whl/${pytorch_index}"
  • flashinfer/__main__.py and its tests — PIP_EXTRA_INDEX_URL handling, https://flashinfer.ai/whl/cu130

Why that halts the screen

This PR changes how build artifacts are produced and where they are installed from — a new PEP 517 build backend, a provider wheelhouse, and index-URL plumbing. That is a supply-chain surface, and the screen is deliberately mechanical about it: it stops on the presence of these constructs rather than judging whether a given instance is benign. The reasoning is that a well-formed, plausible-looking change is exactly the case where judgement is least reliable, so the rule refuses to exercise any.

The consequence is that it cannot distinguish a legitimate build backend from a hostile one, and on this PR it has plainly caught the former.

What this does and does not mean

  • It is not a finding against the code, and not a claim that anything here is unsafe.
  • Nothing was evaluated beyond Security, so the absence of other findings is not a pass on them.
  • What unblocks it is a maintainer confirming the two surfaces above — principally the new build backend and the index-URL handling — after which CI can be approved normally.
  • The Security section's other checks were clean: the PR template is complete with all five sections and 5/5 checklist items, and no dependency pins, versions, or checksums were changed.

The rule's scope is being reviewed as a result of this PR.

Generated by flashinfer-pr-screen · rubric: docs/code_review_guidance.md · not a code review · AI screening can make mistakes — a maintainer's judgment supersedes this report.

Checking on the screening feedback:

scripts/verify_jit_cache_provider_wheelhouse.py is only used for local testing; none of that code is part of the pipeline at this point. We can delete it once we're satisfied that the split wheels are working, but it might be helpful until this hits a full release.

flashinfer-jit-cache-provider/build_backend.py uses subprocess to make sure the git submodules are initialized, a subset of what the top-level build backend does.

The remaining uses are mostly for running cuobjdump, which is for testing that the new wheels have only the correctly architecture included.

The bit on scripts/jit_cache_build_common.sh seems overly sensitive; that's the location of pytorch's wheel downloads.

The bit on flashinfer/__main__.py doesn't make any sense to me; I don't see that variable touched in the diff?

Overall, I think these are safe and expected uses of subprocess, and any modification of install locations is just refactoring or expected change to support the new provider wheels.

I'm making one change to the wheelhouse scripts just to make those easier to delete afterward, but otherwise, I think this is ready to go.

## 📌 Description

This PR enables the architecture-specific JIT-cache provider wheels
introduced
by #4514 and removes the monolithic JIT-cache wheel mode from release,
build,
package, and runtime paths.

- Adds explicit provider inventories per CUDA and CPU platform in
  `ci/cuda-versions.json`.
- Derives the individual provider build matrix and the CUDA/CPU shim
matrix
  from that single inventory.
- Builds each binary provider, builds one platform-specific
`flashinfer-jit-cache` shim per CUDA/CPU pair, and validates the
assembled set
  before publication.
- Builds the patched CUDA 13.4 `sccache` binary once per CPU
architecture and
  shares it across the corresponding provider builds.
- Validates provider SASS using CUDA binary-compatibility rules while
continuing
to reject PTX and targets that cannot execute on the declared
architecture.
- Propagates the selected architecture flags through NVCC device linking
so
linked modules do not acquire the toolkit's default `sm52` or `sm75`
cubin.
- Selects the closest compatible installed provider at runtime, with
exact
targets preferred over family targets and family targets preferred over
  unsuffixed baselines.
- Requires each provider's full CUDA-specific version to match the
installed
shim, preventing a provider such as `+cu134` from being loaded by a
`+cu130`
  shim.
- Supports heterogeneous processes by resolving the best provider
independently
for every visible CUDA architecture, loading all selected copies of a
module,
  and dispatching each call according to its CUDA tensor devices.
- Keeps partial provider inventories usable: a module present only in
the SM103
provider can run on SM103 while an uncovered SM120 call falls back to
the
  normal multi-architecture JIT module.
- Registers the cubin callback for every selected provider library
instead of
  only the primary path.
- Makes minimal installation discover the provider inventory from the
exact
published shim wheel instead of maintaining a second architecture table.
- Drops separate SM86 provider builds because the unsuffixed SM80
provider is
  forward compatible within compute-capability major 8.
- Teaches wheel-index generation to recognize provider distribution
names.
- Removes monolithic wheel compilation, artifact publication, package
metadata,
  runtime discovery, and workflow selection paths.
- Keeps reusable provider validation independent from the disposable
one-off
  wheelhouse tooling.

Pull request runs exercise the complete split provider build, shim
assembly,
installation, and artifact-validation path without publishing artifacts.
Once
merged, scheduled nightlies and release dispatches build and publish
only the
split provider wheel set. Rollback requires reverting to a workflow
revision
that still builds monolithic wheels; there is no runtime format switch.

## 🚀 Pull Request Checklist

Thank you for contributing to FlashInfer! Before we review your pull
request,
please make sure the following items are complete.

### ✅ Pre-commit Checks

- [ ] I have installed `pre-commit` by running `pip install pre-commit`
(or used your preferred method).
- [ ] I have installed the hooks with `pre-commit install`.
- [ ] I have run the hooks manually with `pre-commit run --all-files`
and fixed any reported issues.

> If you are unsure about how to set up pre-commit, see the [pre-commit
documentation](https://pre-commit.com/).

## 🧪 Tests

- [x] Tests have been added or updated as needed.
- [ ] All tests are passing (`unittest`, etc.).

Completed on the current revision:

- commit-time pre-commit checks for all changed files, including Ruff
and mypy
- `python3 ci/validate_cuda_versions.py`
- `pytest tests/test_env.py -q --noconftest` (`6 passed`), including
  heterogeneous provider resolution and nested tensor-device discovery
- Python byte-compilation and `git diff --check`

Completed on an earlier revision of this PR:

- `pytest -q --confcutdir=tests/jit tests/jit/test_jit_cache_release.py`
  (`6 passed` in a lightweight local environment)
- provider, release, and CLI suites in a CUDA container on an ARM64
SM121 test
  system (`86 passed`)
- focused NVCC device-link regression test and a direct `cuobjdump
--list-elf`
  check of an affected `sm103a` module (only `sm103a` cubins present)

The complete provider build matrix and assembled-wheel installation
checks are
exercised by this PR's release dry run. Actual same-process dispatch
across an
SM103 and an SM120 GPU remains a hardware validation gap. The updated
canary
supports that test as one invocation with
`--provider sm103a --provider sm120f` and JIT disabled.

## 🔬 Experimental Track

<!-- Only for PRs submitted under the experimental policy
(CONTRIBUTING.md → "Experimental APIs and Backends").
     Leave this section untouched for normal PRs. -->

- [ ] This PR is **experimental**: it adds or changes code under
`flashinfer/experimental/` and/or an `@flashinfer_experimental_api`.
Tracking issue: #
- [ ] The tracking issue names an owner, the reason for the experimental
path, and a graduation plan with a target release.
- [ ] Core changes are limited to a thin entry point (signature, shared
validation, feature-gate check, backend selection, handoff).
- [ ] Tests live in `tests/experimental/` and were validated on the
intended hardware; a runnable example is included.
- [ ] Nothing is registered in `flashinfer/aot.py`, and no experimental
backend is reachable from `backend="auto"` without
`FLASHINFER_ALLOW_EXPERIMENTAL_AUTO_BACKENDS=1`. (Calling an
`@flashinfer_experimental_api` or naming a backend explicitly is itself
the opt-in and needs no environment variable.)
- [ ] **Test scope declared below.** The experimental CI lane runs
exactly these targets, so keep them as narrow as the change allows.

```experimental-tests
# One target per line: a directory or a file. (A pytest ::selector is not
# supported -- the sharding runner cannot consume one.) Must be under
# tests/experimental/ and must exist. Delete these comment lines and add yours, e.g.
#
#   tests/experimental/test_my_backend.py
#   tests/experimental/my_backend/
#
# Declaring the whole tree (tests/experimental/) is allowed but means every
# experimental PR pays for every other feature's tests, in every matrix cell.
```

## Reviewer Notes

Please focus on the provider inventory policy, CUDA binary-compatibility
rules,
provider-only workflow fan-in, platform-specific shim tags and
dependencies,
artifact assembly, removal of monolithic paths, and the heterogeneous
AOT
dispatcher's tensor-device selection and JIT fallback behavior.
