Load Kimi checkpoints with bounded staging - #382
lukealonso merged 9 commits into
Conversation
Treat INSTANTTENSOR_BUFFER_SIZE as the largest tensor payload admitted to GPU staging. Selected tensors above that limit bypass the InstantTensor ring and load from their indexed safetensors file on CPU; all remaining tensors retain the existing InstantTensor path. Index and prefix filtering apply before choosing the fallback, duplicate or overlapping selections fail, and configurations without the buffer limit retain identical behavior. Validation: five CPU contract tests and one CUDA integration test pass. The CUDA test proves that a small tensor is yielded from CUDA while a tensor larger than the configured 8 MiB staging limit is yielded from CPU with exact values. Ruff, formatting, Python compilation, and whitespace validation pass. Co-authored-by: Luke Alonso <lalonso@gmail.com>

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR changes oversized checkpoint loading and deferred tensor ownership to bound GPU staging, but merge readiness is reduced by an unresolved mismatch risk in fallback sizing and by file-descriptor usage that can grow with the number of affected shards; these should be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

The test verifies the emitted name order, the reader open count, and the buffer sizing calls. It does not verify that each yielded tensor carries the payload of the matching name. A regression that pairs a fallback name with a GPU tensor, or that reads the wrong fallback name from
fallback_readers, would still pass. Add a value comparison againstsource.♻️ Proposed addition

changed the title
Allow deployments to emit selected tensor prefixes through CPU safetensors before opening the GPU staging context. Small unindexed checkpoints can use a bounded CPU safetensors fallback, which avoids an InstantTensor close-time spin while large indexed checkpoints retain streamed loading.

Status
Implemented and unit-qualified. Full Kimi-K3 composition and serving qualification are tracked in local-inference-lab/rtx6kpro#66.
Result
INSTANTTENSOR_BUFFER_SIZEthrough CPU safetensors loading.Technical contract
Kimi-K3 combines multi-terabyte checkpoint loading with online quantization and reloadable parameters. GPU staging must remain bounded, tensors retained beyond a loader callback must own storage, and CPU fallback must not reorder the checkpoint schedule. Index and prefix selection still fail closed when they match no tensors; an empty post-exclusion selection is valid only when matching priority tensors were already emitted.
Compatibility
Ordinary safetensors loading is unchanged. The new priority and small-checkpoint behavior is opt-in through
model_loader_extra_config. InstantTensor oversized-tensor fallback is enabled only whenINSTANTTENSOR_BUFFER_SIZEis configured. Deferred reload retains its existing queued-loading path and stable kernel-address behavior.Non-duplicate check
The required issue and open-PR searches found no upstream PR implementing bounded InstantTensor staging or this oversized-tensor CPU fallback. vllm-project#51378 and vllm-project#49201 are broader reload/lifecycle refactors and do not provide this InstantTensor behavior. #317 is the aggregate Kimi-K3 composition, not a competing implementation.
