Summary

  • extends the TurboQuant MLA work in [Attention][MLA] Add Triton-fused TurboQuant decode backend #41803 with the GLM-5.2 sparse MLA path on current main
  • adds packed 4-bit latent KV storage, fused sparse decode, sparse prefill, and GLM-4 MoE MTP plumbing
  • adds DCP/MTP/PP correctness fixes, canonical DCP interleave handling, CUDA-graph-safe workspaces, and asynchronous MTP handoff

Validation

  • end-to-end cold and hot inference workloads completed successfully
  • hot-cache median TTFT improved by 31x and median end-to-end latency improved by 8.26x in the validation workload
  • all requests completed without connector, engine, worker, or completion errors
  • changed-file pre-commit suite passes, including Ruff, mypy, configuration validation, and forbidden CUDA API checks

Relationship to existing work

#41803 provides the dense Triton-fused TurboQuant MLA decode foundation. This PR adds GLM-5.2 sparse attention, DCP/MTP/PP integration, and the end-to-end sparse prefill/decode path. Opened as draft because the change should likely be split for review.

Im not convinced this worth the complexity given HiSparse should soon be able to alleviate alot of the GPU kv-cache pressure
