Expose opt-in draft acceptance statistics for assisted decoding
...in one verification step. But if the system isn't getting the expected speedup, it's difficult to know exactly what's going wrong just by looking at generation latency. This was something I ran into while benchmarking SmolLM2-360M-Instruct as the target model and...
Use device-side assertions (CUDA_KERNEL_ASSERT2) in user-reachable index kernels
...already exist and are compiled into every CUDA and ROCm build. They avoid the trap: the failing thread records the failure in a managed buffer and returns, and the host raises at the next CUDA check. Today only the c10/cuda test kernels use them. I'd like to use them in the...
Python kernels silently drop explicitly-passed float args that are IEEE-equal to the schema default (-0.0 to +0.0)
## Description When a custom operator is registered with a Python implementation (`torch.library.impl` / `PythonKernelHolder`) and its schema declares a **float default value**, any argument the caller passes that is **IEEE-equal to the default but bit-different** is silently...
[PodLevelResources] Pods without pod-level resources get an extra status PATCH because status.resources changes after Running
### What happened? With `InPlacePodLevelResourcesVerticalScaling` enabled (beta, on by default since 1.36), the kubelet changes pod-level `status.resources` after a pod starts, even though nothing was resized. If the pod lives past the next kubelet sync, this is a separate...
v0.40.5 on Jetson Orin Nano 8GB (JetPack 7 / CUDA 13): gemma4:e4b-it-qat fails at num_ctx 16384 (NvMap error 12), 2 tok/s at 8192; fine on v0.35.1
...GPU at 8192; I suspect partial CPU offload but have not confirmed it. ## Log from the failing 16384 start (v0.40.5) Runner command line (v0.40.5, model paths removed): Note: v0.35.1 also starts its runner with `--load-mode dio` here (every runner start in my journal), so direct...
bug(cuda): A100 PCIe bus loss during Qwen35 warm-up/inference on 0.34.4 and 0.35.0
...configuration. **This is a suspected regression, not an isolated causal change.** Failing and passing tests were in different host boots. An intermittent card/slot/power fault, driver/IOMMU state or release/build interaction remains possible. We are reporting the observed...
[BUG][Spark] Delta Spark 3.3.3 deletion-vector bytecode is incompatible with Java 8
## Bug #### Which Delta project/connector is this regarding? - [x] Spark - [ ] Standalone - [ ] Flink - [ ] Kernel - [ ] Other (fill in here) ### Describe the problem The published Delta Spark 3.3.3 artifacts contain Java 8 class files, but the deletion-vector deserializer...
[inductor][cutlass] CUTLASS cache key ignores the XPU toolkit, and the directory is chosen by a build-time flag
### 🐛 Describe the bug Two related defects make the CUTLASS backend use - or fail to use - the wrong CUTLASS checkout. Both are silent. **1. The cache key hashes the CUDA checkout even when XPU is used.** `cutlass_key()` always hashed `config.cutlass.cutlass_dir`, but the XPU...
Text Editor tab bar and inactive tab color has been messed up by latest update
Type: Bug Using the default Modern Dark theme, the color of the inactive tabs as well as the the tab bar now has this ugly, washed out bright gray color reducing readability of the inactive tabs. This is a regression from the pre-update theme where the inactive tab and tab bar...
Cache.crop does not roll back linear-attention recurrent states — block/speculative verification on GDN hybrids (Qwen3-Next / Qwen3.5) is not lossless with DynamicCache
## System info - transformers 5.16.1 (also read 5.15.1 source), torch 2.11, CUDA (GB10 / DGX Spark); model type `qwen3_5` (hybrid: 48 Gated-DeltaNet layers `LinearAttentionLayer` + 16 attention layers `DynamicLayer` in `DynamicCache(config=...)`) ## Description...
[RFC] Mamba2: exact-replay decode so that prefill, chunked prefill and decode produce identical bits
## Design update (2026-09-06) Following maintainer feedback on #55525 (batch invariance is organised per kernel, not per model), the implementation is redone as a single replacement PR and the following decisions of this RFC are superseded. A separate PR pinning the SSD kernels'...
