From 850cd6fecf7089ec4fbc0bb7df3f4a51bd935c27 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Demetrios Chiuratto Agourakis Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2026 18:42:29 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/29] backends/cuda: skeleton facade (torch reference impl) + EDGE0_BACKEND=cuda dispatch - core/nn/io/quant namespaces matching the documented contract - quant.gather_qmm: reference affine int4 dequant+matmul (numerics UNVERIFIED against mx.quantize -- no MLX/Mac available to check) - io.load_model: explicit NotImplementedError, not a silent stub -- see docstring for the two different paths edge0-35b and edge0-8b need - passes tests/test_repo_hygiene.py unmodified Also see: MLX itself ships a native CUDA backend (pip install mlx[cuda12]) with a real GatherQMM CUDA kernel and a cudaMallocManaged-backed allocator that preserves the unified-memory model on GPUs with concurrentManagedAccess. Testing EDGE0_BACKEND=mlx + mlx[cuda12] unmodified on real NVIDIA hardware is very likely a faster path than this reference backend for the shipped tiers; this commit is the fallback/reference, not the recommended first step. --- src/edge0/backends/__init__.py | 20 +- src/edge0/backends/cuda/__init__.py | 9 + src/edge0/backends/cuda/backend.py | 23 +++ src/edge0/backends/cuda/core.py | 275 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ src/edge0/backends/cuda/io.py | 191 +++++++++++++++++++ src/edge0/backends/cuda/nn.py | 47 +++++ src/edge0/backends/cuda/quant.py | 88 +++++++++ 7 files changed, 649 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/__init__.py create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/backend.py create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/core.py create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/io.py create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/nn.py create mode 100644 src/edge0/backends/cuda/quant.py diff --git a/src/edge0/backends/__init__.py b/src/edge0/backends/__init__.py index 71e662c..660c0c1 100644 --- a/src/edge0/backends/__init__.py +++ b/src/edge0/backends/__init__.py @@ -49,12 +49,24 @@ quant, ) elif _BACKEND == "cuda": - raise ImportError( - "the CUDA backend is not implemented yet; set EDGE0_BACKEND=mlx " - "(or unset it)") + # Reference/fallback implementation (torch-backed).

Also corrects a now-stale assumption in test_repo_hygiene.py's docstring: MLX does ship Linux wheels (CPU-only and CUDA-backed) as of at least the version already pinned here.

The failure is always at the first forward pass, and it +moves as the MLX version moves — meaning this is not one bug, it's the +edge of MLX's own CUDA-quantized-op support arriving in stages, with +`edge0`'s code (written and pinned against `0.30.4`) landing in a +different gap each time: + +| `mlx` version | Result | +|---|---| +| `0.30.4` (this repo's current pin) | `RuntimeError: QMM NYI` — quantized matmul has no CUDA implementation at all | +| `0.31.1` | `GatherQMM has no CUDA implementation` — the gather-variant specifically still missing | +| `0.32.0` / `0.32.2` | Both ops now present — clears `GatherQMM`, advances from `ling.py:181` to `ling.py:190`, then `IndexError: SmallVector out of range` inside `core.eval(logits)` | + +No CPU fallback was viable either: `mlx-cpu==0.30.4` fails to JIT on +g++13/aarch64, and `mlx-cpu==0.32.2` raises `There is no Stream(cpu, 3)`. + +The `0.32.x` failure is the most interesting one and the most worth a +second look by someone who wants to pursue this further: both required +CUDA kernels are confirmed present, the crash is downstream inside +`core.eval`, and it reproduced identically on two separate versions — +consistent with a real, narrow incompatibility between `edge0`'s +`ling.py` code path (written for `0.30.4`'s API) and something that +changed by `0.32.x`, not with a fundamentally unsupported operation. + +## A reliability caveat, independent of all of the above + +`mx.default_device()` reporting `Device(gpu, 0)` is **not** evidence the +GPU is usable — MLX is lazy and this call never touches the driver. It +reported `gpu` in every run above, including the ones where the GPU was +later confirmed dead. The real signal is whether `cuInit()` succeeds. +On this hardware specifically we also hit a driver-level issue +unrelated to `edge0` or MLX: a CUDA process that aborts can leave +`cuInit()` failing (error 999) for every subsequent process, with no +root-level recovery (`nvidia_uvm`'s refcount stays stuck; `rmmod` fails +even as root) — only a reboot clears it. This did not happen after +every abort in our runs, so it is state-dependent, not a strict rule; +flagging it because `nvidia-smi` does not surface it (it goes through +NVML, not the CUDA runtime). + +## Bottom line + +Running `edge0` today means Apple Silicon + `mlx-metal`, per the +project's own stated support matrix.

Now a stable argsort -- a full permutation, which satisfies the partition property for any kth, as mx.argpartition's output does. - topk: returned torch's (values, indices) tuple; mx.topk returns only the values, ascending (sampling.py reads the threshold from the first entry). - take_along_axis / put_along_axis: numpy/MLX broadcast the indices over the non-axis dims, torch.gather/scatter do not. group_select_from_logits masks whole expert groups with [..., k, 1] indices, so only one expert per dropped group was being masked and the 8b router picked different experts. put_along_axis also broadcasts a scalar value. - softmax(precise=True), max, maximum, argmax, set_cache_limit added; compile is now eager (torch.compile re-traces on every new shape). Shared code: mlx.core has no astype/size functions (they are array methods), so backends/mlx/core.py re-exports mlx.core -- same objects -- and adds astype, size and index_add as thin calls to the MLX methods. sampling.py and moe/routing.py use core.astype / core.size, and a descending sort is the negation of an ascending sort of the negation (exact; torch has no negative-step slicing). quant.gather_sort and quant.scatter_unsort move the mlx_lm helpers behind the facade (MLX delegates to mlx_lm itself). tests/test_backend_parity.py runs the same cases under EDGE0_BACKEND=mlx and =cuda in subprocesses: both routers pick identical experts (scores within 1e-5) and the sampler masks match.

It now goes through the facade (quant.gather_sort / scatter_unsort, core.size, core.index_add); on MLX these are the same calls. Upstream bug, found while porting: the hot-stack prefill path sends misses to row n_hot ("overflow zero row") of a stack that has only n_hot rows. MLX gathers do not bounds-check, so every miss read past the end of the stack -- the path was exact only while that memory happened to be zeros. mx.gather_qmm with an out-of-range index returns garbage in isolation (values around 600 in the probe). The hot backing now carries an explicit all-zero row, as the staged path already does with its zero slot; _build and materialize_hot account for it. torch facade: expand_dims resolved negative axes one unsqueeze at a time, so expand_dims(x[m, H], (-2, -3)) gave [1, m, 1, H] instead of [m, 1, 1, H]. Negative axes now index the output, as in numpy/MLX. tests/test_backend_parity.py::test_streaming_layer_real_experts (needs EDGE0_8B_MODEL) runs layer 1 of the real edge0-8b checkpoint through the exact (unsorted and sorted), whole-layer, hot (half the experts missing) and staged paths, compiled and eager, on both backends. torch matches MLX to 1.2-1.5% of the output scale on every path (about two bf16 ulps after three chained 4-bit matmuls), and hot == exact on each backend.

What that needed: - transformers' Qwen3.5 block calls experts(hidden, top_k_index, top_k_weights) and expects the weighted sum back; the twin returns raw per-expert outputs like the vendored MLX blocks expect. backends/cuda/moe_blocks.py::TransformersExpertsAdapter bridges that, passed through a new wrap= argument (default: no wrapping, so the MLX engines are unaffected). - torch refuses to assign a non-Module over a registered child module; the swap falls back to replacing the child with a plain attribute. - block._edge0_resident = block registered the block as its own child module (torch's state_dict would recurse forever); the resident stashes are plain attributes now, which is all their readers need. - Layer discovery stopped only on AttributeError, but indexing past the last layer raises IndexError (ModuleList and plain lists alike), so num_layers=None never worked; the engines always pass it. Not covered by an adapter: the edge0-8b checkpoint's own modeling_bailing_moe_v3.py indexes and iterates self.experts as a ModuleList of 128 modules, so its block forward has to be replaced, not its experts (documented on the adapter).

Against the published checkpoints it could not work: - every edge0 checkpoint is an MLX checkpoint, quantized throughout: 392 non-expert tensors for edge0-35b and 236 for edge0-8b carry .scales (embeddings, lm_head, attention, shared experts, the 35b routers). _NP_DTYPES had no U32, so the first quantized tensor raised KeyError; past that, a packed U32 [V, H/8] embedding would meet a [V, H] bf16 parameter with the same name. - edge0-35b went through edge0's MLX qwen3_5.py sanitize: conv1d weights are stored [C, k, 1] (torch wants [C, 1, k]) and five RMSNorm kinds are stored as w + 1, because MLX computes x * w and transformers x * (1 + w). Read from the published bytes with HTTP range requests: input_layernorm mean 1.03, q_norm 1.33, model.norm 2.63 -- a transformers checkpoint is near 0. Loaded as-is, every one of those norms becomes 2 + w, silently. - building the whole model under torch.device("meta") also leaves non-persistent buffers (rotary inv_freq) on meta, so no forward could run. Now: - modules whose weight has .scales become QuantizedLinear / QuantizedEmbedding (backends/cuda/nn.py; 4-bit payload stays resident, dequantized on the fly with the verified unpack). bits and group size come from the shapes, which covers the per-path overrides in config.json (8-bit routers). Quantized params of other modules (transformers' Qwen3.5 router is not an nn.Linear) are dequantized in place. - _undo_mlx_qwen35_sanitize transposes conv1d back and subtracts 1 from the shifted norms, only when conv1d is in MLX layout -- the same signal the sanitize uses in the other direction. - parameters are created on meta, buffers for real; dtype= casts dense tensors; strict=True now means no missing and no unexpected non-expert tensors, and is what the test uses. tests: test_load_model_edge0_35b_format writes a small Qwen3.5-MoE checkpoint in exactly the published edge0-35b format (ConditionalGeneration config with text_config, language_model. prefix, 4-bit linears and embeddings, 8-bit router, switch_mlp experts, w + 1 norms, MLX-layout conv1d), loads it strict, streams the experts in, and matches the source model on the same effective weights to 4e-7 relative (float32 noise); 37 quantized modules, no parameter left on meta. The reference now dequantizes with float32 arithmetic -- with bf16 scales MLX rounds the weight itself to bf16 -- which also brings the install test from 7e-4 to 5e-7; both tolerances tightened to 1e-5. Not addressed: edge0-8b still needs the checkpoint's own modeling_bailing_moe_v3.py, which imports fla (Triton kernels; no macOS wheels) and iterates its experts as a ModuleList. Suite with EDGE0_8B_MODEL set: 86 passed.

refuse non-MLX backends up front engine/qwen.py and engine/ling.py imported the vendored MLX models and backends.mlx.io at module level, so on a machine without MLX the package could not even be imported, and on one with both backends an EDGE0_BACKEND=cuda run built MLX models and pushed their arrays through torch ops. - load_model / open_shards / load_tokenizer now come from the active backend's io (the same functions under MLX); the vendored model classes are imported inside _get_model_classes. - load_installed starts with require_mlx_backend(tier) (engine/base.py): on another backend it raises NotImplementedError naming what exists (ops, streaming layer, load_model) and what does not (an engine for the tier), instead of failing deep inside a forward. The engines themselves stay MLX-only: they drive the vendored models' per-layer callbacks, mlx-lm caches and the class-level prerouter patch, so a torch engine is a port, not a conditional import. tests: under EDGE0_BACKEND=cuda, importing edge0, both engines, the CLI, prerouter, adapters and streaming loads no mlx / mlx_lm module, and both engines refuse with the message. MLX path unchanged: pytest -m slow passes for edge0-8b on Metal, the same 32 greedy tokens, and decode time within run-to-run noise of upstream (6.2 s vs 6.3 s mean over three alternating runs).

It replaces the checkpoint's own modeling_bailing_moe_v3.py (remote code, fla/Triton, ModuleList experts). Routed experts come from install_streaming_experts. Two places where torch semantics differ from MLX and are handled explicitly: - mx.fast's "causal" mask is aligned to the end of the keys (query i of L sees keys up to Lk - L + i); torch's is_causal aligns to the start, which is wrong once a cache holds earlier tokens. _sdpa builds the mask. - dtype promotion: MLX's RoPE runs in float32 and its concatenate promotes, so the hidden state becomes float32 at the first MLA layer and stays there. The port follows the same promotion (a first draft cast back to bf16 -- no error, just a different model). backends/cuda/io.py: load_model's engine path (get_model_classes, as the engines call it) builds the vendored pair from config.json plus overrides and returns (model, config) like mlx-lm, calling get_model_classes(config=...) as mlx-lm does. backends/cuda/nn.py: Linear accepts a plain tensor assigned to weight/bias, as mlx.nn.Linear does and prerouter/install.py relies on. Verification (real edge0-8b checkpoint): - load accounting: 0 missing parameters, 0 left on meta, 236 quantized modules (all 236 quantized non-expert tensors of the checkpoint); the only unused tensors are the in-checkpoint prerouter copy (mlp.pregate), which edge0 loads from its own file. - teacher-forced layer by layer against the MLX model on the MLX CPU device, float32, over a chunked prefill (7 + 5 tokens, so the second chunk runs over a cache) and decode steps: every layer <= 1.5e-6 relative, free-running logits <= 1.7e-6, same argmax at every step. Against MLX on the GPU the MLA/dense layers look worse (up to 1.5e-3): measured against float64, that is MLX's Metal float32 matmul/SDPA on this machine (M5 Max: 7.5e-4 from float64; MLX on the CPU and torch: 2e-7), not the port. - negative control: with torch's start-aligned is_causal the MLA layers jump to 0.2-0.3 and the free-running logits to 0.21 on the second chunk. - bf16 (production dtype): per layer <= 2e-2 (1-3 bf16 ulps), same argmax over 7 steps, and the same hidden-state dtype after every layer as MLX. Tests: piece by piece against MLX without a checkpoint (KDA recurrence vs gated_delta_ops, RoPE with an offset, short conv carrying state, router, causal SDPA with an offset vs float64), and test_bailing_port_matches_mlx_layer_by_layer on the real checkpoint (EDGE0_8B_MODEL; per-layer and logits < 1e-5, load accounting). Suite with EDGE0_8B_MODEL set: 93 passed.

Result on the real edge0-8b checkpoint: 8 greedy tokens on torch (CPU) identical to the MLX engine's ("The sky appears blue because sunlight consists of"), with the same build log (lora applied=153 not_found=0, prerouter installed: 16 heads). Memory, found by running it (each fix keeps the per-element arithmetic; the full parity suite still passes): - gather_qmm dequantized one copy per (token, expert) pair -- 248 copies per projection in a 31-token prefill, several GB per MoE layer. It now dequantizes each distinct expert once and applies it to the rows routed to it. - QuantizedLinear dequantized its whole weight per call (edge0-8b's lm_head: ~1 GB float plus 1.9 GB of int64 codes). It now works in chunks of 4096 output rows, and _dequantize unpacks in int32 (the mask keeps only the low bits, which sign extension never reaches). Peak RSS of a 32-token run: 14.2 GB -> 7.3 GB. Longer runs on this machine are still killed by macOS jetsam for low swap (swap 8.8 of 10 GB in use by other workloads): system memory pressure, not the engine. Tests: the engine-guard test now expects edge0-8b to resolve to the torch port and edge0-35b to refuse; test_edge0_8b_engine_same_tokens_on_both_backends (slow) greedy-decodes through the engine on both backends and requires identical tokens. docs/nvidia.md updated. Suite: 93 passed.

It computes the MLX way on the MLX checkpoint layout (RMSNorm weight as the absolute multiplier, conv1d [C, k, 1]), so the published edge0-35b tensors are used as stored: no conversion on load, which is where the transformers route needed the w + 1 / conv-layout fix-ups. engine/qwen.py picks the backend's port and accepts EDGE0_BACKEND=cuda; prerouter/install.py patches the active backend's MoE block class. Verification, without the 23 GB checkpoint -- MLX builds a small edge0-35b-shaped model, casts it to bf16, quantizes it with its own predicate and saves it in its own format (the published format, including the per-path 8-bit overrides in config.json): - pieces vs MLX on the CPU device: gated_delta_update (with GQA repeat), partial RoPE at offsets 0 and 7 vs mx.fast.rope, gated norm, depthwise conv, gated GQA attention through the KV cache over prefill, a second chunk and decode steps. - the model, teacher-forced layer by layer and free-running, float32: <= 2.6e-7 per layer, <= 4.1e-7 on the logits, same argmax at every step; 0 missing / 0 unexpected tensors, router loaded at 8 bits. - the whole engine (streaming, staged decode, class-level prerouter patch with heads in the real file format; LoRA off): identical greedy tokens, per-step logits within bf16 noise (0.35-2.5%). Token equality alone was too coarse -- the same tokens come out with the prerouter disabled -- so the test also requires that, at the steps where the prerouter acts (it moves the logits 5-11% there), torch is at least twice as close to MLX with the prerouter as to MLX without it. - negative controls: the transformers norm convention x * (1 + w) sends the per-layer error to 1.1 and changes the tokens; the wrong RoPE layout or offset gives errors of 4-5 against mx.fast.rope. Suite with EDGE0_8B_MODEL set: 99 passed.

With no no_grad around the engine's forward, torch recorded the graph of every forward and kept everything saved for backward alive until the logits were dropped -- each dequantized expert of gather_qmm included. On Linux the edge0-8b engine's 31-token prefill grew 1.2 GB/s and took a 121 GB, swapless host into the OOM killer. load_model now freezes the model it returns, and the facade Linear and RMSNorm freeze themselves on construction (the prerouter heads are built after load_model). Grad mode is thread-local in torch, so freezing the parameters rather than disabling grad in one thread holds for any caller. Checked: - on the DGX Spark (Linux aarch64, torch CPU), under a cgroup memory cap: before, anonymous memory hit a 24 GB cap in 20 s whatever glibc malloc was told (MALLOC_ARENA_MAX=2, a fixed mmap threshold); with grad off it stays at 1.1-1.25 GB. The 32 greedy tokens of a chat prompt are identical to MLX on Apple Silicon on the same checkpoint (same hashes). - the qwen35 engine parity case now reports how many steps' logits carry a graph: 0 with this change, all 10 without it (negative control). Suite with EDGE0_8B_MODEL set: 99 passed, 2 skipped.

CUDA has no index kernel for uint32; the CPU and MPS backends do, so nothing on this Mac could catch it. The packed rows are read as int32 by _dequantize anyway, so the gather now runs on the int32 view. Same arithmetic, same results. With that, edge0-8b runs on the GPU (DGX Spark GB10, sm_121, torch 2.14+cu130, as a Slurm job): - every layer fed MLX's own input for that layer, float32: 5.3e-7 max per layer (median 2.6e-7), 4.3e-7 on the logits, same argmax, against MLX on the Apple CPU device. TF32 off, float32_matmul_precision "highest". - the whole engine, 32 greedy tokens: 31 of 32 identical to MLX, diverging at step 31. Not a GPU artifact -- torch on the CPU sits at the same 4.5% median per-step logit distance from MLX (the staged prerouter drops non-staged experts), and the top-2 margin at that step is below that noise. - 12.6 s for the 32 tokens, against 58 s on the Spark's Grace CPU. Suite: 99 passed, 2 skipped, on the CPU and with EDGE0_TORCH_DEVICE=mps.

This adds the same layer-by-layer harness the 8b has, on the real 23 GB checkpoint, gated on EDGE0_35B_MODEL. case_qwen35_real_parity loads both the vendored MLX model and the torch port from the checkpoint, MLX on the CPU device (its Metal float32 matmul runs at ~7e-4 from float64 on this machine, the CPU path at 2e-7), both float32, and feeds every torch layer MLX's input to that layer; separately the whole torch model runs free with its own caches, over a chunked prefill (7 + 5 tokens, so the second chunk runs over a non-empty cache) and decode steps. Measured on the real weights: 40 layers, 0 missing parameters, 0 unexpected tensors, 40 streaming twins; <= 2.4e-6 per GatedDeltaNet layer, <= 3.7e-6 per gated full-attention layer, <= 2.4e-6 on the free-running logits, same argmax at every step. Thresholds in the test are 1e-5. The checkpoint itself was verified before use: all four shards byte-exact against their own safetensors headers and all 1757 index keys present with no extras (the index's total_size is 0.9 GB larger than the tensor bytes, which is publisher metadata, not truncation). Engine end to end (LoRA 310 targets, prerouter 33 heads, streamed experts), greedy, same prompt: the torch backend and MLX agree on all 32 tokens when MLX runs on its CPU device. Against MLX on Metal, 29 of 32 match and the walk splits at step 28 on a near-tie ("limited to exactly two" vs "specifically limited to two"); MLX-Metal disagrees with MLX-CPU at exactly the same three positions, so the flip is MLX's GPU precision, not the port.

A profile says the GPU is idle most of that -- 63 ms of CUDA against 643 ms of CPU across three steps -- so the cost is launches and copies: - 1681 host-to-device copies a token: the streaming layer rebuilds expert bundles from the mmap every step.

Config only, no code change. - 235 quantized-linear calls a token (103 ms) dequantizing the same attention and lm_head weights each time. EDGE0_TORCH_WEIGHT_CACHE=1 keeps the dequantized weight: 124 ms a token, 6.0 GB resident. Together 2.5x (3.2 -> 8.1 tok/s), same greedy tokens. Off by default: the point of the quantized layers is that the 4-bit payload is what stays resident, which is exactly right on the Mac this runs on. test_quantized_linear_weight_cache_is_exact pins the cached path to the chunked one bit-for-bit on the CPU, on a projection wider than one chunk, and both to MLX (on its CPU stream). On CUDA the unchunked weight changes cuBLAS's split, so the two differ within the engine's own noise: teacher-forced they choose the same token at all 32 steps and sit the same distance from MLX (4.8% vs 5.3% median per step). Suite: 100 passed, 3 skipped, with the cache off and on.

Profiling edge0-8b decode on Metal (`EDGE0_TORCH_DEVICE=mps`): of an 8.2 s run, `nonzero` took 2.4 s, `tolist` 1.9 s and `unique` 1.4 s -- all inside `gather_qmm`, against 0.07 s for the matmuls they were arranging. None of them is arithmetic; each is a device->host sync. The loop paid one per expert to ask which experts a call needs and where each one's rows are. Decode never needs to ask: one token routes to K experts, so the call is a handful of rows. Gather those rows' experts as one batch and run a single `bmm` -- no sync, and a repeated expert only costs a duplicate dequantize. The per-expert loop still runs above that size (prefill), where a dequantized copy per row is what blew memory up in the first place, but now behind ONE host transfer of the index list instead of a `nonzero` per expert (faster at every size measured, on CPU and Metal alike). The cap is a row count AND a byte budget (`EDGE0_TORCH_GATHER_BATCH`, `EDGE0_TORCH_GATHER_BYTES`), because one row of a 35b expert is far bigger than an 8b one. edge0-8b decode on Metal, same 12 greedy tokens throughout: 688 ms/token (tier default) -> 401 batched -> 384 with `cache_slots=3072` -> 291 with `EDGE0_TORCH_WEIGHT_CACHE=1`. 2.4x. The two paths agree to float32 matmul-reordering noise (~1e-5 absolute), not bit-for-bit: `bmm` and `matmul` sum in a different order.
