[None][feat] Add DeepSeek V4 Vanilla sparse attention - #18005
Conversation

changed the title
WalkthroughAdds a DeepSeek V4 vanilla sparse MLA indexer and attention backend. It wires the backend into package exports and registry dispatch, updates sparse test infrastructure, and replaces duplicated reference scoring with production-aligned indexer logic. ChangesDeepSeek V4 sparse MLA backend
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to This change adds DeepSeek V4 vanilla sparse attention across several compression ratios and expands the related test coverage. The implementation is otherwise mergeable, but a test identifier currently labels a configuration as '-v2' even though v2 is disabled, which can confuse test reporting and should receive owner follow-up.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Fix the manager tag so the test id matches the case.
Line 166 sets manager to "v2" for DeepSeek-V4, but line 175 always passes use_kv_cache_manager_v2=_SPARSE_USE_KVM_V2, which is False. The generated id therefore ends in -v2 while the case carries the v1 flag.
For sparse cases _build_mla_kv_cache_manager selects the manager class through get_sparse_attn_kv_cache_manager(sparse_config) and ignores use_kv_cache_manager_v2, so the flag has no effect. Derive the tag from the value actually stored on the case, or drop the manager component from the sparse tag.
♻️ Proposed fix to keep the tag consistent with the case
if cfg.sparse_attention_config is not None:
is_deepseek_v4 = cfg.sparse_attention_config.algorithm == "deepseek_v4"
page_size = 128 if is_deepseek_v4 else _SPARSE_PAGE_SIZE
- manager = "v2" if is_deepseek_v4 or _SPARSE_USE_KVM_V2 else "v1"
- tag = f"{_prec_tag(_SPARSE_COMPUTE_DTYPE, None)}-{_SPARSE_KV_LAYOUT}-p{page_size}-{manager}"
+ # The sparse KV-cache manager class is chosen by the sparse config, so the
+ # v1/v2 flag does not apply here; keep it out of the id.
+ tag = f"{_prec_tag(_SPARSE_COMPUTE_DTYPE, None)}-{_SPARSE_KV_LAYOUT}-p{page_size}-sparse"📝 Committable suggestion
‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.
