Code Review
This pull request introduces support for YOCO-style KV-sharing and sliding windows within the TurboQuant (TQ) framework, primarily to support models like Gemma 4. Key changes include bypassing HuggingFace dataclass validation for sliding window settings, implementing logic to skip layers exceeding hardware limits or prone to error amplification in shared KV architectures, and ensuring consistent rotation matrices across sharing pairs. Additionally, the KV cache management was updated to use the Least Common Multiple (LCM) for page size unification, and Triton kernels were modified to support sliding window constraints. Feedback was provided regarding an inefficiency in the layer-skipping logic where a list was being sorted repeatedly inside a loop.

Hi @ctao456 do u have any performance metrics using vllm bench serve similar to #39931 (comment) |
Got more results running more thorough 3-dim (kv cache capacity, accuracy, perf under serving scenarios) benchmark, device is 1x Intel Arc Pro B70, model Serving scenarios detailed below |

will turboquant run on flash attention backend? I suppose it will run into triton based turboquant backend which should support 512 head dim.

Yes thank you @xinyu-intel . I'm WIP in testing by installing vllm-xpu-kernels 0.1.6 that has head dim 512 support.

After installing vllm-xpu-kernels 0.1.6 that has head dim 512 support and using latest transformers version that supports gemma4, all 3 test prompt outputs are correct (accuracy passed).
The skip list now has layers 5, 11, 17 (global attention, head_dim=512) included in TQ instead of skipped — and inference still works.
Completed: Test gemma4 TQ inference (2/2)
The latest vllm_xpu_kernels handles head_dim=512 natively. Results:

So that we can safely remove head dim > 256 layer skipping.

I find this logic confusing; i think it would be simpler if we just recommended users to do --disable-hybrid-kv-cache-manager for TQ + Gemma4; im not convinced for all sliding window + full attention + TQ models we want this behavior

This pull request introduces several improvements and bug fixes related to TurboQuant attention, sliding window support, and KV cache management. The main themes are: enhanced support for sliding window attention in TurboQuant, improved handling of YOCO (You Only Cache Once) architectures, and more robust/unified KV cache page size logic.
TurboQuant attention and sliding window support:
turboquant_attn.py,triton_turboquant_decode.py). [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12]model.py).YOCO (KV-sharing) architecture support:
apply_yoco_skip_alignmentto ensure TurboQuant skip-layers are correctly aligned for YOCO architectures, preventing quantization error amplification and ensuring cache compatibility (turboquant/config.py,arg_utils.py). [1] [2]KV cache management and unification:
kv_cache_utils.py). [1] [2]worker/utils.py).Attention spec selection logic:
attention.py). [1] [2]Other improvements:
gcdimport for LCM calculation in page size unification (kv_cache_utils.py).These changes collectively improve the robustness, correctness, and efficiency of TurboQuant and sliding window attention, especially for advanced architectures like YOCO and models with heterogeneous layer specs.
