Description

Functional enablement of Kimi K3 (KimiLinear) on B200 (SM100, x86), per TRTLLM-14705. Three parts:

  1. [fix] Kimi K3 MLA decode backend policy (kimi_k3_mla_attention.py): FlashInfer's trtllm_batch_decode_with_kv_cache_mla rejects 64 < num_heads_q < 128 (both the pinned flashinfer-python==0.6.16 and the flashinfer-k3 fork). The per-batch policy introduced in [TRTLLM-15033][feat] Upstream Kimi K3 MLA decode backend selection to main #17800 kept CuTe-DSL only for mixed H=96 batches; generation-only multi-token batches (SA/MTP verify under attention-DP, where each rank keeps all 96 query heads after the head-padding removal in [None][feat] Remove padding in Kimi K3 MLA module #17684) were still demoted to trtllm-gen and crashed at attention warmup. The demotion now applies only to head counts trtllm-gen can legally run; 64 < H < 128 stays on CuTe-DSL for every batch shape. Explicit trtllm-gen requests (env override / FP8-KV override) pass through unchanged.
  2. [test] B200 L0 wiring (only-green: every entry validated on an 8xB200 x86 node with a 100-real build, see Test Coverage):
    • l0_b200.yml pre-merge: test_kda_decode_op.py and test_kda_mtp_decode_cute_parity.py (previously GB300-only; the SM103-only selector cases self-skip on B200), plus the Kimi K3 MLA-backend/config-routing/checkpoint-plan/FP8-gates tests and the disagg-parity CPU selftest — none of these were collected by any CI stage (no cpu_only marker, no GPU-list entry).
    • l0_b200.yml post-merge: test_moe_backend.py -k "kimi_k3_shape" (~13 min).
    • l0_dgx_b200.yml 4-GPU post-merge: the Tier-1 truncated-checkpoint SA spec-dec logits-parity test (test_kimi_k3_specdec.py::test_kimi_k3_sa_specdec_logits_parity, TP=4, TIMEOUT (45)).
  3. [doc]: KimiK3ForConditionalGeneration / KimiLinearForCausalLM rows + Blackwell footnote in supported-models.md; B200 kernel/module-support statement, full-model memory limitation (BF16 non-expert weights ~109 GB/rank + MXFP4 experts ~87 GB/rank at EP16 exceed 180 GB/GPU; >=32 GPUs or the default-off FP8 weight read TRTLLM-14765 would be required), and 100-real build guidance in the Kimi K3 deployment guide and examples/kimi_k3/README.md.

Kernel-availability audit result (no code changes needed beyond the MLA policy fix): all KDA optimized kernels are source-integrated with SM gates accepting (100, 103); the SiTU MoE cubins are all sm100f; the CuTe-DSL KDA prefill/MTP ops import and run against stock flashinfer-python==0.6.16 on x86 SM100.

Out of scope (per JIRA): full-model serving on B200, perf (TRTLLM-14821), disagg (TRTLLM-14767). Known follow-ups noted on the JIRA: hardcoded NUM_SMS=148 in the CuTe KDA kernels, SM103-only kCompactHeadsWorkThreshold sweep, the dead 8-GPU post-merge block in l0_dgx_b200.yml.

Test Coverage

Validated on an 8xB200 (x86, 183 GB/GPU) node, 100-real build, stock flashinfer-python==0.6.16 (no flashinfer-k3 fork):

  • test_kda_prefill_op.py + test_kda_decode_op.py + test_kda_mtp_decode_cute_parity.py: 32 passed, 14 skipped (all SM103-only selector cases), dispatch asserted prefill=optimized.
  • MLA backend policy + config/checkpoint plumbing + disagg selftest: 35 passed (includes the extended policy contract test, 13 cases).
  • test_moe_backend.py -k "kimi_k3_shape": 2 passed in 13m35s.
  • Regression sweep of the already-wired B200 Kimi suites: 127 passed, 2 skipped (arch-independent opportunistic skips), 1 xfailed.
  • Tier-1 test_kimi_k3_sa_specdec_logits_parity: PASSED in 5m18s[sanity] PASS (pipeline only, truncated model) (spec-dec logits parity verified). Before the MLA policy fix this crashed at attention warmup with trtllm-gen MLA decode does not support 64 < num_heads_q < 128; got num_heads_q=96.

PR Checklist

  • PR title follows the [JIRA][type] Summary format
  • PR description clearly explains what and why
  • Test cases are added for new fixes
  • Docs updated where applicable

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Dev Engineer Review

  • MLA decode dispatch keeps head counts from 64 through 128 on CuTe-DSL.
  • Unsupported explicit trtllm-gen selections fail fast with an actionable ValueError.
  • Documentation consistently describes B200 support, memory limits, and 100-real build guidance.
  • No unintended public API changes or test-list format issues were identified.
  • Several helper and L0 CI runs failed. The failures require investigation and a new CI run.

QA Engineer Review

Modified CI test lists:

  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_b200.yml
    • Added Kimi K3 decode, MTP parity, MLA backend, configuration, checkpoint, FP8 gating, disaggregation parity, and MoE routing-shape tests.
  • tests/integration/test_lists/test-db/l0_dgx_b200.yml
    • Added the Tier-1 TP=4 speculative-decoding logits-parity test.

Modified test code:

  • tests/unittest/_torch/modules/test_kimi_k3_mla_backend.py
    • Added supported and unsupported trtllm-gen head-count validation.
    • Added constructor regression coverage for FP8 KV-cache with attention-DP and 96 heads.
    • Updated multi-token policy coverage for 96-, 12-, and 128-head configurations.

The test code is covered by l0_b200.yml. The Tier-1 speculative-decoding test is covered by l0_dgx_b200.yml. Reported validation covered KDA, backend/configuration, MoE, regression, and speculative-decoding logits parity.

Verdict: needs follow-up

… into B200 L0 lists

l0_b200 pre-merge: add the fused CUDA decode op and CuTe MTP verify
parity suites (previously GB300-only; SM103-only selector cases
self-skip on B200), plus the Kimi K3 MLA-backend/config/checkpoint
plumbing tests and the disagg-parity CPU selftest, none of which were
collected by any stage. l0_b200 post-merge: the ~13 min
test_moe_backend kimi_k3_shape case, mirroring l0_gb300_multi_gpus.
l0_dgx_b200 4-GPU post-merge: the Tier-1 truncated-checkpoint SA
spec-dec logits-parity test (TP=4). All entries validated green on an
8xB200 x86 node with a 100-real build.

…h an unsupported head count

The FP8-KV-cache override (and an explicit TLLM_K3_MLA_GEN_BACKEND

policy passes explicit selections through — so with 64 < per-rank
heads < 128 (e.g. 96 under attention-DP) every generation batch would
crash inside FlashInfer at attention warmup, since no batch shape can
run trtllm-gen at those head counts and CuTe-DSL cannot serve FP8 KV
device scales either. Validate at module construction, where the
per-rank head count is authoritative, and raise a targeted error
naming the conflict and the remedies (TEP sharding or BF16 KV cache).

…ast regression test

Construct a real KimiK3MLAAttention (skip_create_weights_in_init, K3
geometry, FP8 KV cache, attention-DP mapping) and assert that __init__
itself raises — pinning the _validate_mla_generation_backend call site,
not just the helper. The helper-level tests would stay green if the
constructor stopped invoking the validation.

…ashInfer, not a support matrix

The 64 < num_heads_q < 128 bound in the decode policy and the
construction-time validation copies FlashInfer's own validation gate
verbatim — it predicts FlashInfer's rejection and makes no support
claim for head counts outside the range. Note the Kimi K3 invariant
that makes the open upper side unreachable: per-rank Q heads never
exceed 96 (all heads replicated under attention-DP, 96 / tp_size under
TEP head sharding).

…ted on GB200

The B200 limitation text added earlier in this PR states that full-model
serving needs ">=32 GPUs or the default-off FP8 weight-read path
(TRTLLM-14765)". Measurements on GB200 (SM100) under TRTLLM-15786 show both
remedies are wrong, and that the real constraint is the attention layout
rather than the GPU count.

- TEP16 (enable_attention_dp: false) shards the non-expert weights instead of
  replicating them and needs 115 GB per rank, so it fits SM100 per-GPU memory
  at the same 16 GPUs. Validated end-to-end on 16 GB200 GPUs: 106.67 GiB of
  weights, 125.96 GiB peak, and GSM8K 96.82 flexible / 96.74 strict against
  the GB300 reference of 96.51 / 96.44.
- DEP16 (210 GB per rank) and TEP8 (213 GB per rank, its 8-way expert share
  alone being 181 GB) are the recipes that require GB300-class memory. The
  DEP16 conclusion is unchanged; only the stated remedy is.
- The FP8 weight-read path does not lift the DEP16 requirement.
  _finalize_weight_load runs after _load_trunk_params and
  _load_expert_slices, so the conversion happens once every parameter is
  already resident in BF16: it lowers the steady-state footprint but leaves
  the load-time peak unchanged. This is documented in the repo already, in
  the empty_placeholder docstring in modeling_kimi_linear.py.

Also corrects the per-rank figures. Parsing all 96 safetensors shards gives
114 GB of replicated non-expert weights and 90 GB of routed experts at EP16,
not ~109 GB and ~87 GB; those two values sum to the correct total but are
labelled GB where the underlying numbers are GiB.

Adds the TEP16 reproduction to the deployment guide's accuracy section,
including the two environment switches that are not obvious from the batch
script: KIMI_K3_ROUTER_BF16=0 (with attention-DP off the MoE router gate
takes a BF16 fast path that can flip borderline expert picks, so scores are
only comparable to the DEP16 reference with it disabled) and the
KIMI_K3_FP8_WEIGHT_READ=0 default that the published numbers were measured
at. run_eval_kimi_k3.sbatch takes --account, --partition and --qos from the
submitting command line.

Docs only; no functional change.

Upstream PR NVIDIA#17870 wired test_kda_decode_op.py into the same l0_b200
pre-merge block; the rebase auto-merged both copies without a textual
conflict and trt-test-db's L0 verification rejects the duplicate
test/condition pair. Keep upstream's entry; ours now adds only the
CuTe MTP verify parity suite.

/bot skip --comment "CI failures are unrelated to this PR (Kimi K3 B200 enablement: MLA decode dispatch + L0 wiring + docs). Both builds passed; SBSA single-GPU passed. The 20 failing stages in x86_64 single-GPU #6755 span A100X/B300/DGX_B200/DGX_H100/H100_PCIe — none exercise Kimi K3 code, and the Kimi K3 tests that ran on the failing B200 shard passed. Root causes are infra/unrelated: corrupted shared model data (gemma-3-1b-it/config.json invalid JSON on /scratch.trt_llm_data, hitting A100X and H100_PCIe-Ray identically), B300 Initialize/Clean-Up Slurm failures, K8s pod-launch timeouts, nvml GPU-lost, SSH connection drops, apt-get update timeout, plus pre-existing unrelated test failures (Cosmos3 VAE non-contiguous offload, Gemma4 in-flight hang, skip-softmax IPC timeout)."
