… GPU Adds a verifier-side proxy (RemoteK3DSparkSpeculator) and a standalone draft server (vllm.entrypoints.k3_dspark_standalone + k3_dspark_rpc) so the DSpark draft model executes on its own single GPU while the target runs TP/DCP on separate GPUs. Draft weights, KV, Markov head, and CUDA graphs live entirely on the draft process; the target exchanges context and proposals over a versioned ZMQ/TCP protocol (PROTOCOL_VERSION=2). Behavior and invariants: - VLLM_K3_DRAFT_REMOTE_ADDRESS selects the remote path at speculator construction; unset preserves the existing local DSpark/DFlash path. - propose() matches BaseSpeculator's signature; rank 0 performs RPC and all ranks consume the broadcast result. - Fail closed: any RPC failure fills draft tokens with -1 (no speculation for the step) and disables affected requests until they leave the batch; FREE remains safe for never-created remote state. - Retained-prefix reconnection validates a target prefix-cache hit against retained draft state via a host-visible view of the request token table (InputBatch.all_token_ids_cpu, backed by StagedWriteTensor.cpu). - CUDA-graph capture interface preserved: init_cudagraph_manager and capture(capture_phase=...) conform to BaseSpeculator. Compatibility: no change when the remote address is unset; draft side supports DSpark and DFlash checkpoints on a single GPU including Ampere-class cards. Validation: 19 new CPU unit tests pass (test_k3_dspark_remote_speculator.py, test_k3_dspark_standalone.py); production-qualified serving lukealonso/Kimi-K3-QSRT-K2 TP8/DCP8 with an Inferact BF16 DSpark draft on a dedicated RTX 3090. Limitations: one remote draft process (draft TP1); TCP transport; greedy draft sampling with block rejection sampling on the verifier. AI assistance was used in the preparation of this change; every line was reviewed and the listed tests were run by the submitter.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR adds a separately hosted draft-GPU RPC path that can transmit inference context and logits and mutate shared draft state over a caller-supplied TCP address without enforced authentication or encryption. A reachable or impersonating peer could disrupt speculation, consume GPU capacity, or affect verification behavior, while open state-management, token-validation, memory-budget, shutdown, and test-isolation issues further reduce merge readiness. The PR should not merge until these risks are fixed or explicitly accepted. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Inline comments:
In `@vllm/entrypoints/k3_dspark_rpc.py`:
- Around line 1330-1345: Restrict the RPC endpoint created in _run to loopback
addresses by default, rejecting non-loopback self.address values unless an
explicit secure remote-deployment option enables authenticated ZAP/CURVE
transport. Preserve local operation, and document the required network isolation
or authentication for any remote binding.
- Around line 1150-1166: Update vllm/entrypoints/k3_dspark_rpc.py lines
1150-1166 by moving both _decode_host_tensor calls into the existing self._lock
context so shared pinned staging buffers are written under the lock. Also update
lines 734-758 so clear, prefix_cache_bytes, and prefix_cache_host_bytes acquire
self._lock before reading self.allocator.request_ids; the sibling site requires
these direct locking changes.
- Around line 570-585: Update the dummy capture setup around state.stage so it
validates that query_len does not exceed allocator.block_size before
constructing dummy_slots; reject the configuration with the existing
validation/error mechanism rather than allowing slots to spill into adjacent
request blocks.
- Around line 417-431: Bound aggregate prefix-cache memory in the initialization
path that validates prefix_cache_tokens, rather than checking only the
allocator.window_size minimum. Derive or validate the per-request cache budget
using the configured maximum concurrent requests, hidden-state width, element
size, and a total device-memory cap (including --draft-kv-cache-gib as
applicable), and reject configurations whose worst-case ProjectedContextCache
footprint exceeds that cap before _append_context can allocate caches.
In `@vllm/entrypoints/k3_dspark_standalone.py`:
- Around line 715-716: Add a targeted Ruff A002 noqa to the format parameter in
BaseHTTPRequestHandler override log_message, preserving the required parameter
name and existing logging behavior.
- Around line 500-519: Update the smoke-test setup around block_table and
query_slots to ensure the requested context_len + query_len span fits within the
single mapped KV block; add an explicit validation that rejects oversized
queries before constructing or using the slots, or construct block_table for
every required block as _run_dflash_eager_smoke does. Preserve valid
single-block behavior.
- Around line 815-843: Wrap the proposal server lifecycle in the startup flow
around K3DSparkZMQServer, including proposal_server.start(), _serve_status(),
and the exit-after-load return, with a finally block that calls stop.set() and
joins proposal_server when it exists. Preserve the existing startup failure
status handling while ensuring cleanup runs on every return and exception path.
In `@vllm/v1/worker/gpu/spec_decode/dspark/remote_speculator.py`:
- Around line 749-759: In the exception handler for the remote proposal flow,
remove each failed request from retained-prefix bookkeeping by clearing its
entries in _known_requests and _retained_prefixes alongside updating
_disabled_requests. Use the existing request IDs and bookkeeping structures,
ensuring failed requests cannot later be selected by _find_reconnect_source for
RECONNECT.
- Around line 431-453: Validate every token id in the remote response before
constructing or copying remote_tokens, requiring values to be within the model
vocabulary range using the available vocabulary-size symbol. Raise ValueError
for any out-of-range id so the existing propose error handling rejects the draft
safely; preserve the current shape validation and tensor-copy behavior for valid
responses.

Verifier (RemoteK3DSparkSpeculator): - A failed PROPOSE or RECONNECT no longer disables drafting for the affected requests for the rest of their lifetime. The ids whose remote slot may still exist are recorded; the next proposal frees them first (FREE is a no-op for ids the server does not hold), which reclaims the slot and re-enables the requests. Nothing local refers to the old remote state, so their next proposal resets or cold-bootstraps. A failing FREE keeps them disabled and stale for a later attempt. - A failed RECONNECT forgets the source's retained prefix and marks both ids stale, so the retry is a cold bootstrap instead of a repeated reconnect against a slot the server may have rebound. - The PING handshake rejects a draft server whose context-row capacity (`max_context_tokens`, now published in PONG) is below the verifier's max_num_batched_tokens, instead of failing per proposal at runtime. Draft server (K3DSparkDraftEngine / K3DSparkZMQServer): - PROPOSE validates `anchor_position` and `anchor_token_id` as integers with a descriptive error instead of a KeyError. - RESET of an unknown request id is a no-op instead of allocating (or failing to allocate) a slot for it. - A receive failure on the REP socket is a transport failure (no reply is attempted); a transport failure after startup stops the process, and the standalone entrypoint exits with the error instead of a clean shutdown while the status endpoint reports the transport as ready. - The window-aligned restore start is computed by one helper for the restore and reconnect paths. Standalone smoke test: the context width follows `target_hidden_size` (the width the context projection consumes) and the query length follows the same rule as the engine (`draft_query_len` in spec_decode utils: DSpark samples from the anchor, DFlash prepends it). buffer_utils: `_uva_buf` is initialized in `__init__` and read directly.

What
Adds a verifier-side proxy (
RemoteK3DSparkSpeculator) and a standalone draft server (vllm.entrypoints.k3_dspark_standalone+k3_dspark_rpc) so the DSpark draft model executes on its own single GPU while the target runs TP/DCP on separate GPUs. Draft weights, KV, Markov head, and CUDA graphs live entirely on the draft process; the target exchanges context and proposals over a versioned ZMQ/TCP protocol (PROTOCOL_VERSION=2).This is the transport used by the qualified 8-GPU production runtime: a TP8/DCP8 Kimi-K3 target on 8 RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs has no VRAM headroom for the BF16 draft, so a ninth GPU (RTX 3090) hosts the draft and serves proposals over loopback TCP.
Behavior and invariants
VLLM_K3_DRAFT_REMOTE_ADDRESS(or legacyVLLM_K3_DSPARK_REMOTE_ADDRESS) selects the remote path at speculator construction; unset preserves the existing local DSpark/DFlash path.VLLM_K3_DRAFT_REMOTE_TIMEOUT_MSbounds each RPC;VLLM_K3_DRAFT_TIMING_LOG_INTERVALcontrols periodic draft-timing logs.propose()matchesBaseSpeculator's signature; rank 0 performs RPC and all ranks consume the broadcast result.InputBatch.all_token_ids_cpu, backed byStagedWriteTensor.cpu).init_cudagraph_managerandcapture(capture_phase=...)conform toBaseSpeculator.Compatibility
No behavior change when the remote address is unset. The draft side supports DSpark and DFlash checkpoints on a single GPU, including Ampere-class cards.
Validation
tests/v1/spec_decode/test_k3_dspark_remote_speculator.py,tests/v1/spec_decode/test_k3_dspark_standalone.py(run under the r29 upstream-aligned image against this branch).lukealonso/Kimi-K3-QSRT-K2TP8/DCP8 with the Inferact BF16 DSpark draft on a dedicated RTX 3090 (remote proposal overtcp://127.0.0.1:8092), including LMCache external prefix-hit replay through the retained-prefix reconnection path.Limitations
One remote draft process (draft TP1); TCP transport; probabilistic transport currently supports DFlash only; block rejection remains required on the verifier.
AI assistance was used in the preparation of the original change. The probabilistic follow-up below requires a fresh human review before this PR is ready to merge.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Probabilistic remote DFlash follow-up
Commit
a2397d9787aadds an opt-indflash_logits_bf16_v1capability. DFlash servers return pre-temperature full-vocabulary BF16 logits in a second ZMQ multipart frame only when requested. The verifier validates the frame, broadcasts it across TP ranks, samples with the standard disjoint draft Gumbel stream, and retains raw logits for block rejection. Existing greedy clients continue to receive the original single JSON frame.Validation for this follow-up:
tests/v1/spec_decode/test_k3_dspark_remote_speculator.py: 14 passed.tests/v1/spec_decode/test_k3_dspark_standalone.py: 12 passed.Duplicate check: searches in
vllm-project/vllmandlocal-inference-lab/vllmfound no separate open PR for probabilistic remote K3 DFlash transport; this updates the existing remote-transport PR rather than opening a duplicate.AI assistance was used for this follow-up. It requires human review of every new line before merge; publication as a non-draft does not waive this requirement.
CodeRabbit review follow-up
Commits
af68421b8e0and47fa270455faddress all inline findings and the applicable nitpicks from the CodeRabbit reviews: aggregate projected-context memory is budgeted and revalidated after graph capture; pinned staging and allocator reads are serialized; unauthenticated non-loopback RPC is rejected by default; smoke/capture block spans, CLI values, remote token IDs, and target/draft capacities are validated; failed proposal state and both HTTP/ZMQ lifecycles are cleaned up; liveness is available during load; K3 settings usevllm.envs; lockstep zips are strict; and rolling slot mapping is vectorized.Per the deployment requirement, CUDA graph mode does not use eager fallback. The server captures every accepted
(batch, K)combination, advertises its batch/depth bounds during PING, and the verifier rejects incompatible capacity during initialization, so a valid runtime request cannot be uncaptured. This intentionally supersedes the optional suggestion to reduce the graph matrix and retain eager fallback.Validation: Ruff 0.16.1 format/check passed; 114 focused remote-speculator, standalone, and environment-registry tests passed in the upstream-aligned draft image.
AI assistance was used for this follow-up. Human review of every new line remains required before merge; the PR is published for review at the operator’s request.
Publication status
Published as a non-draft on 2026-09-07 at the operator’s explicit request to expose all prepared PRs in local-inference-lab. Existing qualification evidence and limitations above are unchanged. No code, deployment configuration, merge approval or automatic merge is changed by this status update.
