- add skip_no_fp8 (CUDA + fp8_mm kernel + cc 8.9+) to tests/conftest.py
- use skip_no_cuda / skip_no_kernel / skip_no_fp8 directly in test modules
- drop _GPU alias and tests.extension.conftest re-exports
- remove unused imports (Union in hf_adapter, make_grpo_config in data conftest)
- Add server.py --config serve.yaml; explicit CLI flags override YAML
- Add scripts/serve.sh and serve_runtime.py for the Compose lifecycle

- Fix generate_async StopIteration handling on Python 3.12
- Fix HF adapter MoE dense/shared and Gemma qk_norm mapping
- Correct dev dependency httpx2 to httpx
- Add astrai.serialization.hf_adapter mapping LLaMA-style HF keys to AstrAI names (input_layernorm, gate_proj, MoE experts/shared_experts) with config aliases for dense and MoE (Mixtral/DeepSeek-V3) layouts; reject biased projections, mismatched head_dim and MLA
- Give AutoModel.from_pretrained weights_format=auto|astrai|hf with auto-detection; read sharded safetensors via model.safetensors.index.json
- Adapt preloaded weights/config in train_context and benchmark CLI
- extract preprocessing config factories into tests/data/factories.py
- keep conftest.py fixtures-only; stop importing builders from it
- promote temp_dir fixture to root conftest for cross-directory reuse
- unify duplicate BPE tokenizer builders into build_test_tokenizer
- merge grpo/dpo online e2e tests into one parametrized integration test
- extract engine mock factory and shared model batch builders
- drop local tempfile usage in favor of shared fixtures
No behavior change: 519 tests pass.
- avoid constructing model_fn more than once when reading config
- keep inference package exports focused on public entry points
- rename extra strategy arguments to strategy_kwargs
- scripts/train.sh load_infra() parses the top-level infra: section of TRAIN_CONFIG_FILE
- exports TRAIN_JOB_NAME/DATA/MODEL/CHECKPOINT_DIR/TRAIN_GPU_COUNT/CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
- infra overrides .env.train via compose interpolation precedence; keys absent fall back
- train.yaml is now the single per-job config: host mounts, GPU filter, and hyperparameters
- requires host python3 with PyYAML when TRAIN_CONFIG_FILE is set; errors fail fast
- docs: docker-training.md documents the infra overrides and precedence
- route dX/dW through the fused 128x64 fast kernel via contiguous transposes
- drop the legacy 64x64 kernel, cutting dX 1.55->0.38 ms and dW 1.28->0.26 ms
- sync all threads after cp.async.wait_group to fix sporadic NaN in large GEMMs
- add fp8_mm_prequant_fp8 custom op for FP8-in/FP8-out GEMM
- keep training attention on dense 4d tensors
- use packed 3d tensors with KV cache for inference
- extend CUDA rotary embedding to packed 3d inputs
- adapt torch, CUDA and FlashAttention backend dispatch
- store page-table, request-row, and cache-location indices as int32
- preserve CUDA graph replay with bit-exact logits and KV cache coverage
- improve B=1 decode latency by 1-6% across 1K-32K contexts on L20
- amax for delayed scale was the quantized max (always ~448), so scale collapsed to 1
- this made fp8 gradients diverge (cosine 0.05) and training stall
- stop w/x transpose-quantize amax from polluting the grad scale
- fp8_ops is the only module touching the pybind (kernel interface)
- fp8.py keeps scaling state, delayed amax and aten::linear dispatch
- remove circular imports between old fp8_ops/fp8_state/fp8_dispatch
- dX/dW run as fp8 cublasLt gemms via fused transpose-cast
- shared (m,k,n) algo cache for fwd/bwd, mutex-protected
- bias add in-place on bf16 output, drop output copy
- pass w as param A (op=T) and x as param B (op=N) so the col-major [N,M] output storage is row-major C[M,N] directly, zero copy
- transpose_bias_cast kernel becomes a plain bias+write kernel
- fp8 e2e now beats bf16: 1.09x at M=4096, 1.06x at M=8192 (was 0.88x)
- cast gradients and inputs to weight.dtype instead of hardcoded bf16
- single code path covers bf16 and fp32 models, no branch needed
- gradient dtype now matches the leaf parameter dtype exactly
- register yaml 1.2 float resolver so scientific notation (2e-5) becomes float, not str
- replaces the decimal-point workaround in train configs
- add containerized training doc under docs/developer
- rewrite docker.sh with gpu default and --no-gpu override
- inject host uid/gid via ASTRAI_UID/GID in train.sh compose()
- filter readonly UID/GID lines when sourcing .env.train
- build image user via USER_UID/USER_GID args matching host uid/gid
- pass all GPUs (count: all) and filter by CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES inside the container
- forward NCCL vars through compose environment
- add a GPU trainer Compose profile with mounted data, models, and checkpoints
- add host commands for preflight, lifecycle, logs, status, and checkpoint cleanup
- resume from the latest complete checkpoint with external config or CLI arguments
- rename output pointer field o to o_ptr for consistency with q_ptr/k_ptr/v_ptr
- regroup AttentionParams fields by responsibility and fix misleading comments
- drop unused max_seq_len/total_q fields and paged decode max_seq_len arg
- drop redundant group_size param from decode launchers (computed from p)
- rename q_stride_* to q_*_stride to match mask stride convention
- rename mask_q_stride to mask_l_stride for consistent l-dim naming
- merge k/v and k_cache/v_cache into k_ptr/v_ptr; rename q to q_ptr
- KVSource policy selects contiguous vs paged mode at compile time
- fix scalar prefill head_dim=32 out-of-bounds via G=4 dispatch
- fix MMA decode 4D mask head indexing and invalid-row mask access
- add q_head/kv_head divisibility and head-dim contiguity checks
- validate split-KV scratch and decode out_buf layout in bindings
- set max dynamic shared memory for scalar decode D=256
- cover scalar prefill D=32 in pure C test
- route decode benchmark through InferenceEngine generate path
- add enable_cuda_graph toggle to engine, scheduler, and executor
- make benchmark --cuda-graph/--no-cuda-graph control the toggle
- hoist local time imports to module top
- Replace C++20 explicit lambda template parameters with file-scope structs (DecodeDispatch/PrefillDispatch etc.)
- Remove unused gs variable in run_decode_test
- Tighten paged test atol/rtol from 0.02 to 0.01 to match contiguous tests
- Match steady-state metadata to the active task IDs
- Rebuild request mappings for cached prefix pages
- Add regressions for batch refill and prefix reuse
