- add BatchedStreamCallback sink type: TaskManager resolves a decode step's (task_id, token) events under one lock and delivers each sink a single list instead of one call per token
- keep the plain Callable[[str]] callback contract: per-token callbacks still receive one call per event, and invoke_callback/cancel_task wrap single events for batched sinks
- collect aborted, text, and finish STOP events in the scheduler decode loop and dispatch once per step instead of once per token
- register one _ResultSink per generate call (replacing per-task closures) so GenerateResult takes its lock and wakes waiters once per step, with late-bind replay for tasks that start decoding before add_task returns their id
- apply GenerateResult batches under a single condition hold via append_batch; append delegates to it
- update engine test fakes to the batched contract and add coverage for event grouping, single-event dispatch, cancel STOP, and late-bind replay
Benchmark: NVIDIA L20 (idle), CUDA 12.8, torch 2.11.0+cu128, 1.2B bf16 checkpoint, prompt 512, 256 greedy tokens, CUDA graph on, serving-level decode, 3 trials
- batch 32: 7.808 -> 7.506 ms/token (4098 -> 4263 batch tok/s, +4.0%)
- batch 1/8: unchanged within noise (3.768 -> 3.797 / 4.699 -> 4.607 ms/token)
- full suite: 896 passed
- make decode steady state self-validating: gate the token fill and sampling reuse on the decode cache's own task signature, drop TaskCacheManager.last_task_signature_matches whose req-index signature recycles with slot reuse
- extract PolicyVersionGuard (version protocol plus generation/weight mutex) and Stepper (shared one-token advancement) out of the scheduler, keeping its public API unchanged
- pin the input staging buffer only on CUDA devices so CPU-only workspaces allocate
- split KVCache into phase-specific PrefillKVCache/DecodeKVCache types selected by start_pos
- unify steady-state detection in TaskCacheManager
- guard decode steady-state reuse with the cached task signature so recycled req slots cannot replay a prior generation's tokens and positions
- collapse attention backend fwd_decode/fwd_prefill into a single subclass-owned forward with a shared _check_fwd guard
- fix thread-safety gap in weight update and validate prefill inputs before KV allocation
- centralize magic constants in InferenceConfig and align docs with behavior
- re-register the linear family with the operator dispatcher (ASTR_OPS / op_backend / resolve)
- fix bf16 gemv misaligned-address faults and element mispairing for offset weights
- reject misaligned bf16_swiglu inputs with a clear error and fall back in the backend gate
- make the rollout reuse decision, validation, and return atomic under one policy snapshot
- add the documented post-scoring rollout version check
- derive live+1 under the scheduler lock in optimizer_step via apply_weight_update(None, ...)
- reject rollout_max_policy_lag below rollout_interval - 1 at config time
- sync gemv stream-test inputs before switching streams; drop dead loader imports
- reject prompts that encode to zero tokens in add_task instead of admitting a task whose prefill can never run, and surface empty-id run_batch calls as prompt_empty errors
- deliver the STOP stream callback when cancelling a live task so clients observe termination instead of hanging until socket timeout
- strip the torch.compile _orig_mod. prefix at every unwrap_model site and when loading checkpoints so FSDP state dicts and saved weights no longer leak the wrapper name into downstream keys
- reject online_* train strategies with nprocs > 1 at config validation time, explaining the NCCL all-gather deadlock they would otherwise hit mid-run
- apply the frequency penalty before temperature scaling (OpenAI semantics) so the penalty survives temperature=0 instead of being annihilated by the 1e8 logit blowup, and exclude penalty pipelines from the greedy fast path
- return logprobs from the raw pre-strategy distribution so they match training-side policy logprobs for PPO/GRPO importance ratios
Track a monotonic policy version across optimizer steps, scheduler updates, and rollout results. Serialize synchronous generation with weight acknowledgements and invalidate reusable prefix KV entries so cached samples remain attributable to the behavior policy that generated them.
- Pack prompts with a shared prefix start and attention backend into one forward.
- Select per-request final logits from cumulative query lengths.
- Cover ragged tokens, logprobs, scheduling, and documentation.
- Propagate stream closure and stop-sequence termination into scheduler cancellation
- Defer active KV release to the scheduler owner and close metrics safely
- Expose lifecycle counters and cover waiting, active, and allocation-race cleanup
- Return structured finish and error reasons for synchronous generation
- Reject failed online rollout batches instead of training on empty responses
- Verify allocation and extension failures release metrics and KV state
- 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
- Eliminate core/ directory into cache/, runtime/, network/ subpackages plus flat modules
- Split cache.py (647 lines) into cache/{buffer,strategy,pool}.py by layer
- Add explicit ContiguousStrategy, make AllocationStrategy a real ABC
- Move TaskCacheState to cache/strategy.py, drop string forward references
- Rename api/ to network/, server.py to app.py
- Move sample.py into runtime/ alongside executor and graph
- Simplify TaskCacheManager.__init__ to single pool param
- Expose pool.strategy and pool.req_pool as public properties
- Fix KVCache import in attention_backend.py (TYPE_CHECKING guard)
- Fix steady-state decode reading uninitialized position_ids on first step
