[II] Preserve Kimi parallel-draft KV group identity - #441
Conversation
Mark only cache groups containing non-causal speculative-draft MLA layers as EAGLE groups, regardless of tensor or decode-context parallel topology. Preserve the marker when sliding-window MLA specs are promoted for allocation and retain the DeepSeek-V4 compatibility rule. This prevents target and recurrent Kimi cache groups from inheriting draft-tail replay requirements. DCP8 and DCP16 cache-planning fixtures verify identical semantic group selection.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe cache-group logic now detects Eagle draft layers from per-spec metadata. The annotation applies across cache layouts, including uniform, grouped, fallback, and hybrid groups. Tests cover K3 parallel grouping with DCP world sizes 8 and 16. ChangesEagle cache annotation
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change preserves reusable target-model cache blocks and has successful TP16/DCP16 validation, but the focused tests should be strengthened because they do not fully prove DCP-specific grouping or metadata-driven classification. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on those test gaps. Suggested reviewers: 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

- Around line 2943-2961: Update the test around get_kv_cache_groups to genuinely
exercise decode-context-parallel behavior: provide KV cache specs whose grouping
differs for the parameterized dcp_world_size values and remove the monkeypatch
that forces group_and_unify_kv_cache_specs to return None. If DCP-specific
behavior is not intended, remove the DCP parameterization and rename the test to
reflect the behavior it actually covers.
- Around line 2964-2968: Update the Eagle-group assertion in the group test to
derive the expected membership from each group's spec metadata, specifically
non_causal_multi_token_decode, rather than layer-name prefixes. Add or adjust a
fixture so at least one group’s name pattern disagrees with that metadata,
ensuring the test catches name-based implementations.

Behavior
Preserves the
non_causal_multi_token_decodelayer contract when asliding-window MLA cache specification is promoted to an allocation-compatible
MLA specification. Cache groups are marked as speculative-draft groups only
when at least one member layer carries that metadata.
Native KV offload uses the annotation to exclude the volatile draft tail while
keeping target-model cache blocks reusable. The classification reads layer
metadata and contains no tensor-parallel rank count, decode-context-parallel
rank count, layer-name convention, or fixed cache-group index.
Technical reason
Kimi parallel-draft MLA layers set
non_causal_multi_token_decode=True. Cache-spec promotion discarded thatfield, so the native-offload scheduler classified every Kimi hybrid cache group
as speculative state. The invalid classification excluded 49,152 reusable
target tokens from a 134,219-token restore request.
The implementation adapts the Kimi group annotation from
vllm-project/vllm#52047
to Infernal Invocation's cache-spec promotion and cache-group construction
paths. The established DeepSeek-V4 final-layer fallback remains available for
model configurations without per-layer metadata.
Compatibility
TP16/DCP16 follow different grouping paths in the focused tests.
Validation
Status: implemented and qualified for TP16/DCP16.

git diff --checkpassed.The full-model test used official Kimi-K3 MXFP4, Inferact DSpark K7,
TP16/DCP16, a 1,033,126-token physical FP8 GPU KV cache, and 32 GiB of native
host KV storage. The 134,219-token request contained five images.
