GLM KDA decode retains the shape plan and creates a fresh B12X binding for each call from vLLM workspace scratch. This prevents a binding from outliving recyclable scratch or KV-cache state while leaving non-B12X and prefill paths unchanged. Validation: tests/models/test_glm5next_model.py (26 passed); ruff check and format check. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Gather the packed FP8 page-tail cache into caller-owned workspace for DeepGEMM prefill scoring while retaining the B12X paged kernel for decode. Preserve exact host-side prefill sequence lengths so each request gathers only its visible pool prefix. Compatibility: the GLM cache layout and decode route are unchanged. The prefill selector uses the same DeepGEMM and vLLM top-k contract as the qualified functional runtime. Validation: 51 GLM model tests passed on SM120; packed-cache DeepGEMM top-k matched the B12X oracle; 4096-row measurements were 6.5-24.1% faster than B12X prefill for 4096-32768 pool contexts. Co-authored-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Assign each completed C4 pool to an independent Triton program and update each request tail separately. Decode and speculative-decode requests retain ordered row processing, while prefill requires packed main-cache slots and consecutive positions. Validated with GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4 on four RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs using a 32k-token standalone-prefill benchmark and parity tests for boundary tails, state-slot isolation, and invalid dummy slots. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Use B12X mHC for decode-sized rank-local batches, including CUDA graph padding, and TileLang mHC for larger prefill batches. The dispatch threshold derives from scheduler capacity, speculative depth, CUDA graph capacity, tensor parallelism, and sequence parallelism. Every mHC operation in a decoder layer uses the same selected backend. Validated with GLM-5.3-Flash-NVFP4 in W4A4 mode on four RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPUs. A 32k-token standalone-prefill benchmark sustained 13,280 prompt tokens/s for 30 seconds; concurrency-one decode without speculative tokens sustained 117.2 tokens/s. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Use the packed Triton KDA path for plain GLM-5.3 decode and the B12X KDA path for speculative decode by default. Plain decode avoids B12X metadata staging and validation overhead, while speculative decode retains B12X checkpoint selection and rollback handling. Expose glm53_kda_decode_backend=auto|b12x|triton through additional_config. The default auto mode preserves B12X initialization for speculative requests; explicit values remain available for qualification and diagnosis. Unknown values fail during model construction. Validation: six targeted GLM model tests; Ruff check and format; direct BF16 kernel comparison against the B12X reference for batch 1 over 64 sequential steps and batch 16; TP4 W4A4 decode benchmarks on physical GPUs 4-7. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Select one KDA implementation for the lifetime of every recurrent cache. Auto mode uses Triton when speculative decoding is disabled and B12X when an MTP or DFlash configuration is present. Explicit b12x and triton selections remain unchanged. Both implementations satisfy the BF16 operation reference, but switching their rounding behavior between plain and speculative steps changes subsequent draft acceptance. A server-level choice preserves stable recurrent-state behavior and retains the qualified speculative rollback path. Compatibility: the additional_config interface remains glm53_kda_decode_backend=auto|b12x|triton. Validation: nine targeted GLM model tests, Ruff check and format, and git diff validation. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Compute external GLM-5.3 router logits exactly once before expert dispatch so the B12X MoE runner does not apply the gate a second time. Preserve size-dispatched prefill, multipath-hyperconnection routing, and server-stable KDA selection. Compatibility: no B12X source or serving-interface change. Validation: 43 GLM model tests passed; Ruff lint and format checks passed. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Keep Python owners registered during FULL CUDA graph capture alive for the lifetime of each captured graph. B12X mHC bindings own scratch and output tensors whose device pointers are embedded in a graph; releasing those bindings lets the allocator reuse their storage before replay. Profiling teardown releases retained owners together with the graphs. Execution outside CUDA graph capture is unchanged. Validated with the workspace resource tests, the B12X mHC binding test, and GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 TP4 target-plus-DFlash2 FULL graph replay on GPUs 4-7. Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Assert the per-token QSA tail independently from fixed page padding and provide the decode-only metadata field required by selector-state fixtures. The tests now preserve the runtime-sized page ABI shared with B12X instead of requiring the superseded padded allocation. Validation: 80 targeted GLM, sparse-attention, and workspace tests passed; 14 accelerator-dependent tests skipped. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Propagate the draft quantization configuration into DFlash2 convolution and candidate-selector projections. Build the fused context K/V projection from serialized MXFP8 values and E8M0 scales after loading, then execute it through the selected ModelOpt linear kernel without computing and discarding Q. Unquantized DFlash checkpoints retain the existing fused BF16 projection. The optimized quantized path is limited to ModelOpt MXFP8 checkpoints; other formats keep their existing behavior. Validation: targeted DFlash2 quantization and attention tests passed; GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 with the published MXFP8 DFlash2 checkpoint completed TP4 full-graph serving qualification on GPUs 4-7. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>
Resolve FlashInfer KV-cache dtype from the layers in each attention group and propagate the engine-selected physical layout into every model-owned attention implementation. A speculative draft can therefore keep its own cache dtype while sharing the target engine layout. Target-only serving and groups that share the global cache configuration are unchanged. Validation: 24 targeted attention and DFlash2 tests passed; Ruff check and format validation passed. Assisted-by: OpenAI Codex <codex@openai.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Vit <martin@voipmonitor.org>

Reject mixed MXFP8 and non-MXFP8 DFlash context projections before reading serialized weights. Breakable CUDA graph entries retain Python owners for device storage referenced by captured custom operations. The GLM C4 prefill launch uses an append-only request offset, and its DeepGEMM/B12X oracle ranks 576 candidates at the supported top-k of 512. Validation: targeted DFlash and breakable resource tests passed; the 576-candidate DeepGEMM/B12X oracle passed on an NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU; Ruff check, Ruff format, and repository commit hooks passed.

Review follow-up in b77333c also removes the positional common_args[10] splice from the GLM C4 prefill kernel launch. The DeepGEMM/B12X prefill oracle now uses 576 valid pooled-cache candidates with the production-supported top-k of 512, so the comparison exercises score ranking instead of only valid-range and padding behavior. That oracle passed on physical NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell GPU 7 while the TP4 serving process remained active. |

Resulting behavior
Status: qualified for GLM-5.3-Flash NVFP4 serving at tensor parallel size 4 with a ModelOpt MXFP8 DFlash2 drafter.
Source contract
The source-locked image recipe is blackwell-llm-docker PR #28. It reconstructs both result trees from immutable patches and validates their SHA-256 hashes without applying any additional vLLM or B12X source patch.
Compatibility and limitations
Validation
Duplicate-work check
vLLM PR #490 integrates a proposed B12X direct single-token KDA API for non-speculative decode. It does not cover speculative KDA transactions, C4 prefill, MXFP8 DFlash2 projections, independent target and draft cache types, or graph resource retention.
vLLM PR #488 targets decode-context-parallel CKV gathering and DFlash cache retention. This pull request qualifies tensor parallel size 4 with decode context parallel size 1 and does not import the DCP-specific cache coordinator.
Upstream draft vllm-project/vllm#51620 addresses the same raw-weight failure with a generic per-layer quantized fallback. The implementation here combines ModelOpt MXFP8 values and E8M0 scales into one fused projection and dispatches through the selected quantized linear kernel, avoiding per-layer QKV execution and discarded Q output.
