Purpose

An off-grid max_cudagraph_capture_size is truncated to the last 8/16 grid
entry, so the largest decode batches run eager. Fixes #58523 and #54933.

Four PRs have touched this block; this branch carries the two open fixes that do
not overlap, rebased onto current main:

#57355 landed the inferred-default case on 2026-09-17 and conflicts with #55004,
which predates it — it modified the block #55004 restructures. The conflict is
resolved here by keeping @bojiang3's request-count grid and re-attaching
#57355's non-speculative branch as an elif on the new outer condition, so all
three paths coexist:

  • speculation: the intermediate request-count shapes
  • plain decode, inferred default: max_num_seqs
  • explicit maximum: the ceiling itself

I opened this as a combined branch because the three fixes are complementary and
landing one alone leaves a gap. @bojiang3 and @weireweire — this is your work
rebased, not a replacement.
If either of you would rather carry it in your own
PR, say so and I will close this.

Test Plan

pytest tests/compile/test_config.py -k cudagraph

Test Result

37 passed against 27 passed on main, with an identical failure set (17
failures and errors either way, from the absence of a GPU in my environment).

Explicit maxima, before and after:

max_cudagraph_capture_size before after
12 8 12
20 16 20
42 40 42
50 48 50
100 96 100
200 200 200

max_cudagraph_capture_size=12: [1, 2, 4, 8] → [1, 2, 4, 8, 12]. On-grid
maxima unchanged.

Claude Code Review

This pull request is from a fork — automated review is disabled. A repository maintainer can comment @claude review to run a one-time review.

When `max_cudagraph_capture_size` is set explicitly and
`cudagraph_capture_sizes` is left unset, `_set_cudagraph_sizes()` builds the
stepped 8/16 grid and then truncates the scalar maximum down to the last grid
entry. Decode batches between that entry and the configured maximum have no
captured graph and fall back to eager execution.

  asked  12 -> resolved  8   sizes [1, 2, 4, 8]
  asked  50 -> resolved 48   sizes [1, 2, 4, ..., 40, 48]
  asked 100 -> resolved 96   sizes [1, 2, 4, ..., 88, 96]

This is the non-speculative counterpart of vllm-project#54933. That issue, and vllm-project#55004 which
fixes it, concern `uniform_decode_sizes`, which are only computed when
`decode_query_len > 1`; with plain decode the list still ends on the grid.

Append the maximum to the inferred list when the grid did not reach it, next to
the existing `max_num_batched_tokens` append that preserves the same property.
The value appended is the one already clipped to `max_num_batched_tokens`, so it
cannot exceed the token budget, and an explicit `cudagraph_capture_sizes` list
is still left exactly as configured. Costs one extra captured graph.

Closes: vllm-project#58523

…apture_size

When max_cudagraph_capture_size is set explicitly and cudagraph_capture_sizes
is left unset, _set_cudagraph_sizes() only built the stepped 8/16 token grid.
The uniform decode sizes (request count times decode query length) were
computed inside the `max_cudagraph_capture_size is None` branch, so with
speculation on they were never appended, the inferred list ended at the last
grid entry, and the explicit maximum was truncated down to it.

With max_num_seqs=6 and six speculative tokens the widest uniform decode batch
is 42 tokens. Setting max_cudagraph_capture_size=42 produced
[1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40], the warning "Truncating
max_cudagraph_capture_size to 40", and the 42 token verification step ran
eager (vllm-project#54933).

Compute the uniform decode sizes whenever the capture list is inferred here,
bounded by the possibly explicit maximum, rather than only when the maximum
is also inferred. An explicit cudagraph_capture_sizes list is still left as
configured and the platform default ceiling still applies when no maximum is
given. The large hunk is the uniform size block moving out one nesting level;
with whitespace ignored it is a 14 line change.

Reproducer from the issue on current main, before and after:

    before: max=40  sizes=[1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, 32, 40]
    after:  max=42  sizes=[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 16, 24, 28, 32, 40, 42]

Adds a parametrized regression test for a maximum equal to, above and below
the widest uniform batch, and one guarding that an explicit list is never
extended. Existing cudagraph sizing tests in the file still pass.

Fixes vllm-project#54933
