In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/__init__.py`:
- Line 15: Update the TRTLLM_STAIRCASE assignment to use valid shell syntax
without spaces around the equals sign, or use the export form if it must persist
in the environment.
In `@tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/_router_index.py`:
- Around line 70-71: Complete annotations for the new Staircase functions:
update StaircaseMode.from_env in tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/_router_index.py
at lines 70-71 with an annotated class parameter and explicit return type;
update _mode and all remaining new helpers and test functions in
tests/unittest/_torch/staircase/test_staircase_routing.py at lines 76-77 with
parameter annotations and -> None for functions that do not return a value.
In
`@tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/models/deepseek_v3/targets/r1_0528_nvfp4/sm_103/dep4/smoke.py`:
- Line 104: Normalize the smoke-gate mode via StaircaseMode.from_env() before
the require check, then compare the parsed value with StaircaseMode.REQUIRE in
both affected smoke.py locations: deepseek_v3/.../dep4/smoke.py lines 104-104
and gpt_oss/.../tp1/smoke.py lines 67-67. Add mocked main() coverage for an
uppercase or whitespace-padded valid mode and verify engine construction is
reached.
In
`@tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/models/gpt_oss/targets/gpt_oss_120b/sm_103/tp1/TARGET.md`:
- Line 146: The GSM8K evaluation command in the documentation has invalid
Markdown and shell syntax. Update the command so the TRTLLM_STAIRCASE=require
environment assignment precedes python, and use a single valid inline code span
for the complete command.
In `@tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_staircase.py`:
- Line 197: Annotate test_mtp3_acceptance with mode: str and a None return type,
and annotate test_staircase_off_is_the_default with a None return type while
preserving its monkeypatch parameter.
- Line 68: Update the actual mode assignment in the staircase test to use
StaircaseMode.from_env().value instead of reading the raw STAIRCASE_ENV value,
so case, whitespace, empty, and invalid values follow the runtime parser’s
behavior.

Staircase is one self-contained forward per (checkpoint, GPU architecture,
parallel topology) triple, assembled only from a catalog of certified ops and
trusted through accuracy gates rather than shared abstractions. Where
_torch/models/modeling_deepseekv3.py is one class serving every checkpoint and
topology, _torch/staircase/models/deepseek_v3/ is one flat codebase per target.
The two live side by side and the contrast is the point.
Entry is an environment variable:
TRTLLM_STAIRCASE=require
"off" -- unset, the default -- is byte-for-byte today's behaviour: the resolver
returns immediately and nothing in the package is imported. "auto" uses a
target when one matches. "require" raises instead of falling back, because a
silent fallback would attribute the built-in implementation's numbers to
staircase. An unrecognised value raises rather than reading as "off", for the
same reason.
A variable rather than an LLM-API field, so that nothing outside this package
carries the concept and the only upstream change staircase needs is the
resolver hook itself. It has to be exported before the ranks start, not merely
before LLM(...): worker ranks receive the environment as it stood when MPI
initialized, so a value set later reaches the driver and not them -- and a
driver resolving a staircase target while its workers resolve the built-in is
exactly the silent split "require" exists to prevent.
Routing follows an existing upstream pattern. Targets are keyed by a synthetic
architecture name no checkpoint declares, reached through a rewrite in
AutoModelForCausalLM._resolve_class -- the same shape as
MTPDraftModelForCausalLM. A small table maps architectures[0] to a routing
module; that module owns one forward-reading decision tree, so reading a single
file tells you where any configuration lands, and explain.py replays the same
tree to say why. The package sits beside _torch/models/ rather than inside it
so its registrations count as external and win their slot, and so the zoo's
non-recursive staleness scan is not broken. The upstream footprint is
seventeen lines: the hook in modeling_auto.py, and two package_data patterns
in setup.py for the TARGET.md and configs/ that a gate command reads from the
installed tree.
This batch brings two targets and the 30 catalog entries they call (19 trtllm
ops with contract, wrapper and GPU test; 11 thin torch mirrors).
Validated on GB300 (sm_103), trtllm 1.3.0rc26:
catalog 19/19 entries, 312 cells, plus both 4-rank
collective matrices
gpt-oss-120b / tp1 boot 10/10; gsm8k 90.6748 vs threshold
85.5989
r1-0528-nvfp4 / dep4 boot 10/10; gsm8k 95.0720 vs threshold
89.9962
r1 configs/mtp3.yaml boot 10/10; paired gsm8k delta -0.3791
against a |delta| < 1.2 criterion;
acceptance_length 3.3514 against stock's
3.2752
Every checkpoint digest was verified against the target's own record, so the
new gate records and the pre-move sm_100 ones were measured on byte-identical
weights.
Four differences surfaced while re-certifying the catalog on sm_103, none
resolved by widening a tolerance:
- Three ops' schemas changed between rc21 and rc26 (renamed and added
parameters). The wrappers now mirror their schemas argument for argument.
- The MoE FC1 epilogue's MXFP8 block scale is floor(log2(amax))-8 on sm_100
and ceil(log2(amax/448)) on sm_103, bit-exactly. The reference is now
architecture-keyed and each arch refutes the other's recipe.
- torch 2.12 defaults fp32 matmul to TF32, so cublas_mm's *reference* was the
imprecise side; the op is bit-identical to a TF32-disabled product.
- The MLA append op now accepts NVFP4 latent pools as well as fp8.
Measured statements in the migrated contracts are left exactly as written.
They are true records of what was observed on sm_100; rewriting them would
manufacture GB300 evidence that does not exist. Receipts are per architecture.

…est suite The catalog's GPU tests were living beside their contracts and wrappers inside tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase/catalog/, which is where the upstreaming plan put them -- but nothing collects tests from the package. The two in-tree precedents for a test inside tensorrt_llm/ (cute_dsl_kernels/test_argmax.py, kv_cache_manager_v2/rawref/test_rawref.py) are on no list either. So they move to tests/unittest/_torch/staircase/, which is the tree CI collects from. Named test_staircase_<entry>.py rather than test_<entry>.py for two reasons. Three would otherwise collide with an upstream test of the same basename, and under pytest's default import mode a duplicate basename is an import error. More importantly they are not duplicates of those tests: upstream covers the modules that wrap these ops, these cover the op itself cell by cell -- the strategy x operation matrix, which strategies are bitwise identical, which combinations are silently wrong rather than loud. Distinct names keep review from reading one as a copy of the other. The two collective entries keep their rank bodies in catalog/comm/. The launcher re-execs them as `python -m` and the ranks need that package context for their relative imports; only the collected shells moved. Test list entries, and why they are on these two lists: l0_gb300.yml unittest/_torch/staircase, comm excluded l0_gb300_multi_gpus.yml unittest/_torch/staircase/comm The catalog's certification is per GPU architecture -- receipts are keyed by sm -- and these are the sm_103 lists. The collectives are on the 4-GPU list because they are certified at world size 4, which is dep4's topology. An entry now spans two trees, so the receipt rule gains a second directory to look in: a receipt is valid only if it post-dates the last write to every file of the entry, contract and wrapper and test alike. index.yaml and the README say so. Verified on GB300 (sm_103), run from tests/ with the exact path strings the lists carry: 343 passed for the single-GPU entry, 2 passed for the collective entry (each spawning its own 4-rank job).

…acy suite
The op-level entries certify the vocabulary; these certify the assemblies that
call it. A separate file rather than entries in test_llm_api_pytorch.py, for
the same reason the targets are separate codebases: reading them beside the
built-in model's tests would invite treating one as a variant of the other.
l0_gb300.yml TestStaircaseGptOss120bSm103Tp1::test_gsm8k

test_gsm8k
test_gsm8k_identity_vs_mtp3
test_mtp3_acceptance[staircase]
test_mtp3_acceptance[stock]
Two of these are shaped unlike an ordinary accuracy test, for reasons worth
stating.
**identity vs mtp3 is one test, not two.** Both measurements are taken in a
single case on purpose. The same identity forward measured 94.7688 and 95.0720
on consecutive days -- 0.30 apart on bit-identical code -- so a delta against a
score recorded in an earlier session carries that session's variance into the
judgement. Paired, the variance is common to both and cancels. Three runs here:
+0.3412, +0.9477, +0.3033, against a |delta| < 1.2 criterion.
**Acceptance is two independent cases sharing one anchor.** Rejection sampling
makes a miscomputed draft path slower rather than wrong, so smoke and accuracy
are both blind to it and acceptance length is the only detector. The two legs
are read against the same recorded minimum, which is what makes the pair
informative: staircase failing while stock passes means the draft path
regressed; both failing means the anchor is stale and should be re-derived
rather than the target blamed. The anchor is populated from the stock leg --
taking it from the target's own number would make the gate self-referential,
the same rule the accuracy anchors follow.
min_al is hand-set to 2.5 rather than the automatic 95% of the reference.
Measured over three runs each on GB300: stock 3.020/2.998/3.009/3.014,
staircase 2.921/2.938/2.933. Each side is stable to ~0.7% and the ranges do not
overlap, so staircase sits about 2.6% under stock consistently. The automatic
floor of 2.869 would have left the staircase leg 1.8% of headroom against a
0.7% spread -- a flaky test rather than a gate. 2.5 is a collapse tripwire, the
role the TestKimiK3DSpark entry already documents.
Also needed:
- a gsm8k.yaml reference for R1-0528 NVFP4 + FP8 KV + MTP. Same accuracy as
the non-MTP entry: MTP is distribution-preserving, so it must not move the
score, which is what the paired test asserts directly.
- scores_filter bound to exact_match,flexible-extract. Unset, the evaluator
averages the filters, and for gpt-oss that means the mean of ~90 flexible
and ~25 strict -- 56.1, which reads as catastrophic failure of a model
answering correctly.
- an output budget of 8192 for gpt-oss. The stock 256 truncates this
reasoning model mid-chain-of-thought, before it reaches an answer.
Verified on GB300 (sm_103), run from tests/ with the list path strings:
1-GPU 2 passed (gsm8k 89.083 against the 90.300 reference), 4-GPU 4 passed
(acceptance staircase 2.933 / stock 3.014).

… redundant gate
Two follow-ups on the staircase CI wiring.
**The collective entries are marked no_xdist.** Each case starts its own
4-rank mpirun over every visible device, so several xdist workers would fight
for the same GPUs. The runner does retry failures serially, so this would
likely still go green -- but only after a confusing parallel failure. The
marker is what the other collective entry in this repo
(_torch/thop/serial/test_moe_alltoall.py) uses for the same reason.
Note on the parallel config: agg_unit_mem_df.csv gets no entries here. Its
header says it is generated from execution results by the infra team and not
manually edited, and it currently carries no GB300 rows at all, so every
GB300 unittest entry already falls back to serial with a warning. That is a
pre-existing condition for that list rather than something these entries
introduce, and hand-writing rows would contradict the file's stated policy.
**The standalone R1 identity gsm8k case is gone.** test_gsm8k_identity_vs_mtp3
evaluates the identity config as its first leg, and task.evaluate asserts
accuracy against the registered reference on the way past, so the separate
case gated nothing new while costing an engine boot of a 61-layer model on 4
ranks. Both the docstring and a comment where the case used to be now say that
the paired test carries the identity gate.
Verified on GB300 after both changes:
unit 343 passed (1 GPU) + 2 passed (4 GPU); the marker does not change
collection
whole 2 passed (1 GPU); 3 passed (4 GPU), 21:47 -> 19:07
model paired delta +0.0000 this run; acceptance staircase 2.937 against
stock 3.014, floor 2.5

…the test naming The two collective catalog entries kept their rank bodies in `catalog/comm/` as `allgather_test.py` and `reducescatter_test.py`. A `*_test.py` name inside the package tree reads as a stray test file under `tensorrt_llm/`, which is the one thing the earlier move was meant to end -- every other catalog entry's test lives in `tests/unittest/_torch/staircase/<category>/`. **The files are renamed to `_allgather_op_matrix.py` and `_reducescatter_op_matrix.py`**, after the collected entry points that drive them (`test_staircase_<entry>_op_matrix.py`), so the two halves of each entry carry the same noun and a reader who greps `op_matrix` finds both. The underscore is the same "not a catalog entry" signal `_rank_job.py` already uses; a catalog entry is `<name>.py` plus `<name>.md`. Their bodies go from `test_*` to `check_*`, and `TESTS` to `CHECKS`. **`catalog/comm/conftest.py` is deleted.** Its `collect_ignore` existed only because the old file names matched pytest's `python_files`. The new names match neither `python_files` nor, for the bodies, `python_functions`, and that is the stronger guard of the two: measured on pytest 9.0.3, `collect_ignore` does *not* suppress a path named explicitly on the command line, while a file that matches neither pattern collects nothing under any invocation. The conftest's account of why these two files stay in the package -- the launcher re-execs them as `python -m`, and the ranks need the package context for their relative imports -- moves into their module docstrings, next to the rest of the reasoning it belongs with. No behavioural change: the launcher, the deadline it enforces, the fixed rank sequence and reducescatter's separately capped wedge sub-job are untouched, and `_rank_job.run` derives the new name the same way it derived the old one. Verified without GPUs: no stale references remain repo-wide; all five touched files compile; 20/20 and 28/28 `check_` definitions are listed in `CHECKS` with none orphaned or dangling; `pytest` over `catalog/comm/` collects nothing; ruff 0.9.4 check and format are clean and leave the files unchanged. The 4-rank matrices themselves re-run on GB300 to restore the entries' certification receipts, which this rename voids by rewriting their files.

The out-of-tree tree came in largely intact. This takes out what only made sense there, and closes the gaps review found. Records that had no reader in tree (-4549 lines). Each target carried four products; only modeling.py and weights.py are code. TARGET.md was the bring-up flow's own log -- checkpoint digests, machine names, run tables -- and configs/ was six knob variants whose whole payload is thirty lines of LLM API arguments the accuracy gates already carry inline. docs/ and references/accuracy.yaml restated what the code and the suite's own anchors say, with nothing keeping either in step. Accuracy anchors live where every other model keeps them, tests/integration/defs/accuracy/references/. Deleting these takes the staircase package_data block out of setup.py with it, and the internal host names and checkpoint digests go with them. Pinned versions. Out of tree a receipt was keyed by (arch, trtllm version) and a target asserted its pin at import, because a separate repo against a fixed dependency really was voided by a bump. In tree there is no external pin to drift against and the catalog tests run in pre-merge, so a version written into a contract is a number that is wrong the next day with nothing to notice. The trtllm and flashinfer pins, the measurement dates and the "added between rc21 and rc26" notes are gone; what those notes said about the code is kept without the version. The arch key stays and is now the whole key -- the mxe4m3_mxe2m1 FC1 epilogue computes bit-different block scales on sm_100 and sm_103, so one architecture's receipt refutes the other's. The sm_100 receipts are dropped rather than stripped: each predates every file of the entry it sat in, and no sm_100 machine is in CI to re-take them on. test_staircase_no_stale_claims.py is what stops the next pin being written. Test layout. test_staircase.py held two unrelated models; it is now one file per family, matching the package. The two GSM8K subclasses go with it -- pinning scores_filter and the output budget is what mocker.patch.dict(GSM8K.EVALUATE_KWARGS, ...) already does at twenty-odd call sites, including the TestGPTOSS case that gates this exact checkpoint. The collectives' rank bodies (2637 lines nothing under tensorrt_llm/ imports) move under tests/: ranks now start by file path and reach the catalog by absolute import, so neither half needs a package context. Gaps review found. TRTLLM_STAIRCASE=require on a backend that never reaches the resolver now raises instead of silently running something else. explain builds a real ModelConfig, so quant_config is the value the engine will route on rather than a hardcoded None, and the claim test now also forbids routing from reading what explain still cannot fill. The precedence between the staircase rewrite and the two above it in _resolve_class is stated. The l0 entry declares a measured TIMEOUT. nvfp4_gemm rejects a scale buffer shorter than the padded rectangle the kernel indexes, and flashinfer_silu_and_mul rejects a half that is not 16-byte aligned -- an out-of-bounds read and a context-poisoning misaligned launch respectively, both of which the ops accept. dep4's 131-line module docstring is down to the identity, the shape, the second forward path and what dep4 means; every trap it listed is stated at the call site that depends on it. _check_static_contract stops running at import: the op list stays as REQUIRED_TRTLLM_OPS and a test asserts it. CODEOWNERS gains the subtree, which was falling through to the runtime team. Signed-off-by: Fred Wei <20514172+WeiHaocheng@users.noreply.github.com>
"Staircase" named the approach, not the thing, so every reader needed it explained before they could read anything else. modeling_v2 says what the subtree is: a second modeling path, beside the zoo rather than inside it. Mechanical throughout. tensorrt_llm/_torch/staircase -> tensorrt_llm/_torch/modeling_v2, the test tree and its 25 files with it, TRTLLM_STAIRCASE -> TRTLLM_MODELING_V2, and the identifiers, synthetic architecture names and accuracy anchor key follow the same substitution. The package still sits beside _torch/models/ rather than inside it, which is what makes its registrations count as external and keeps them out of the zoo's static index. Two consequences of the move that needed a real change rather than a substitution: _rank_job resolves the repo root by parent index, which the depth change would have silently broken, and the l0 entries, CODEOWNERS paths and the acceptance anchor key all had to stay in step with the new names. Verified on GB300 against this tree: 358 passed on the 1-GPU l0 entry and 2 on the 4-GPU one, both identical to the pre-rename counts, plus the backend guard, explain against a real checkpoint, and collection of all four accuracy node IDs. check_test_list.py --validate passes. Left alone deliberately: "staircase" as a graphics term in the cosmos3 negative prompts, which is the word for aliasing and nothing to do with this.

…usalLM main removed the two-model speculative decoding path (NVIDIA#18721), taking MTPDraftModelForCausalLM with it -- the class, its registration and its _resolve_class rewrite. Three places here cited that rewrite as the upstream precedent for a synthetic architecture name, which is now a claim about code that no longer exists. The Eagle3 rewrite is the surviving instance of the same pattern and builds EAGLE3<Arch> the same way, so it takes over as the example. The precedence note in _resolve_class drops to one rewrite for the same reason, along with the clause about MTPDecodingConfig's validator, which was explaining why a branch that is now gone was unreachable. Nothing in the targets changes: they were always on the one-model MTP path, which is what survived. Signed-off-by: Fred Wei <20514172+WeiHaocheng@users.noreply.github.com>
gpt-oss alternates sliding-window and full attention, and KVCacheManagerV2
gives each attention-window class its own layer group -- so this checkpoint
now arrives with a pool mapping carrying ids {0, 1}. The target refused it:
its first-forward contract check required a single pool, which is what the
catalog certified.
The refusal was right. Nothing in the forward needed changing -- it passes
the pool tables through and the op reads the pool column itself -- but "the
op accepts it" is not "we measured it", and the entry had no cell where the
pool column was ever non-zero.
So the cell comes first. Two managers stand in for two pools, the tables are
composed across them, and every layer is driven through prefill and decode.
The assertion that carries it is the negative one: a call for a layer in one
pool must leave the other bitwise untouched. Collapsing pool selection to 0 --
exactly the failure worth catching -- still produces plausible outputs, since
both pools hold validly shaped pages; only the sibling-pool comparison sees
it. call_op grows three overrides for this, since one manager cannot produce a
two-pool layout on its own.
With that measured, the gpt-oss bound widens to match the contract, and the
contract says what is now certified and what is not (three pools, and pools
differing in geometry, are not).
The deepseek target keeps the tighter bound. It reaches its KV cache through
the MLA entries instead, none of which has a multi-pool cell, and its layers
are all one attention-window class so a manager gives them one group. Widening
it would be borrowing this evidence for ops it does not cover.
Verified on GB300: the new cell passes, the whole entry passes at 97 cases,
and the gpt-oss gate scores 89.917 against a threshold of 87.097 -- with
layer_group_id 0 and 1 both present in the run, so the relaxed bound is what
let it execute rather than a quiet return to one pool.

Without a rule, any change under tensorrt_llm/_torch/modeling_v2/ is an unclaimed residual and CBTS falls back to the baseline filter chain -- the whole pre-merge set, for a subtree whose tests are six entries in two blocks. The rule is the plainest of its family because the subtree was laid out that way. Its entries are matched on `unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/` and `test_modeling_v2_`, and both are exact rather than lucky: every test file in the subtree carries that prefix precisely so it cannot collide with the upstream test of the same op. SpecDecRule needs an `mtp_nextn=0` carve-out because its markers are substrings of entries it does not own; nothing here has that problem. No outward-facing fallback list either, for the same kind of reason. Nothing imports the subtree unless TRTLLM_MODELING_V2 is set, so there is no eagerly imported file whose edit has to force a full run. The one caller outside it, _torch/models/modeling_auto.py, is deliberately left unclaimed: a change to the shared resolver should fall back to baseline. .md is excluded, and that matters more here than elsewhere -- every catalog entry ships a contract document, so a fifth of the subtree is Markdown, and claiming it would let a docs-only PR pull in multi-GPU GB300 stages. Verified by driving main.py over five inputs: source-only narrows to modelingv2only (2 blocks, 4 stages, all six entries and nothing else); contract-only lands on noop; modeling_auto.py falls back; source plus an unrelated file falls back; source plus its own tests combines through the testsonly family. The other rules were compared against the pre-change main.py on four inputs and are byte-identical in outcome. Signed-off-by: Fred Wei <20514172+WeiHaocheng@users.noreply.github.com>
A catalog entry's test exists to catch a regression in the op the shipped targets call. It was covering a good deal more than that: 344 cases, of which 92 drove configurations no target reaches. What the two targets actually run is narrow and checkable. gpt-oss is bf16 activations, GQA 64q/8kv at head_dim 64, sinks, a 128-wide sliding window alternating with full attention, and a bf16 KV pool. R1-0528 is MLA at 128 heads with an fp8 KV pool on every call, q_lora_rank 1536, and tokens_per_block 32 -- the last three asserted in the target itself, so the alternatives are not merely unused but refused. Measured against that: bf16 MLA (30 cases) when every MLA call is quant_mode=128; head counts h8/h16/h32 (14) when the target is h128; page-size sweeps (14) against an assert pinning 32; fp16 and fp32 (15) when both targets are bf16; GQA at d128 (6) when gpt-oss is d64; and the reference-discriminating controls (5), which check the reference rather than the op. Two corrections while doing it, both worth stating because the first would have been silent. `test_fp8_kv_*` means different things in different files: in thop_attention it is a non-MLA fp8 GQA path no target runs, but in the three MLA entries it IS the production path. A name-only rule deletes the latter. And the two-pool routing cell was caught by the d128 in its name though multi-pool is exactly what gpt-oss's window split produces -- it stays, re-parameterized to the real d64 geometry. 18 helpers left with no caller go too. The two autouse fixtures in test_modeling_v2_routing.py do not: they are reachable without a name reference, which is what an autouse fixture is for, and removing them dropped the sm_103 stub and the default mode so routing quietly returned the un-rewritten architecture. Restored. Receipt counts are updated, and the run that re-earns them is green: 267 cases on the 1-GPU entry, 2 on the 4-GPU one.

Review asked for the subtree to sit under `_experimental/` so the path says what the API stability tests already imply: nothing here is covered by them, and it may change shape or be removed without a deprecation cycle. The new `_experimental/__init__.py` re-exports nothing, so reaching a subtree has to be written at the import site. Source package only. The unit tests stay at `tests/unittest/_torch/modeling_v2/`: `_experimental` marks importable surface, and mirroring the move there would churn the l0 entry strings, the CBTS match patterns and the rank-job `parents[]` index for no signal. Mechanical apart from three places the new path forced. `_experimental` sorts ahead of `attention`, so the two targets' import blocks reorder; the longer module path pushes several of those imports past 100 columns, so they wrap; and llm.py's lazy import crosses the 80 that file is held to, so it splits. CODEOWNERS and the CBTS rule's source prefix follow the path. Signed-off-by: Fred Wei <20514172+WeiHaocheng@users.noreply.github.com>

…e shell The whole-model gates read TRTLLM_MODELING_V2 and skipped unless the launching shell had exported it. Nothing in CI exports it, so every one of them skipped: the stage reported green without ever measuring a modeling_v2 target. That is the same misattribution `require` mode exists to prevent, reached through the test harness rather than through the model. Setting os.environ in the test process would not have fixed it. The variable is read by modeling_v2_resolve, called from AutoModelForCausalLM._resolve_class, which runs in a worker rank -- and MPI caches the environment at import time and spawns from that snapshot, which is why worker_main re-applies env_overrides by hand at its top. So the switch travels as an LLM(...) field instead: worker_main applies it inside each rank before the model is built, and LLM.__init__ applies the same overrides to the calling process before it checks the mode itself. The helper takes monkeypatch, which is not decoration: LLM applies its overrides to the calling process and never puts them back, so with no teardown the first case asking for "require" would leave every later case in the session asking for it -- and `require` raises on an architecture with no target, so unrelated tests downstream would fail with none of these files in the traceback. The stock leg of the acceptance gate asserted TRTLLM_CAN_USE_DEEP_EP=0 had been exported. It rides along the same route now, since it is read on the ranks too.

…4-GPU stage The catalog matrix runs 348 cases on one GPU and the gpt-oss gate is tp1, but both sat on l0_gb300.yml, and every stage reading that list is declared with four GPUs. The sub-job split routes by the "N_GPUs" pattern in the stage name rather than by what a test actually needs, so those two rode into L0_Test-SBSA-Multi-GPU, which pre-merge is gated on the 'ci: full pre-merge approved' label. Without the label the sub-job is blocked and nothing here runs at all -- build 60719 has no record of a single test_modeling_v2_* case. A single-GPU list on a single-GPU stage, named without "N_GPUs" so the split leaves it alone. It asks for one GPU rather than four, so it is also cheaper than what it replaces on hardware whose x4 capacity is the binding constraint. Shape copied from DGX_B200-PyTorch-1, the existing single-GPU SLURM stage on a -flex label. The two entries that genuinely need four ranks are untouched on l0_gb300_multi_gpus.yml, as are the nine tests left on l0_gb300.yml. The new list is deliberately not added to L0_MergeRequest's multi-GPU relatedFileList: everything there is a multi-GPU list, and editing a single-GPU one should not force the multi-GPU dispatch.

…e that accepts them The GB300-PyTorch-1 stage added in 341dbc1 never ran. Slurm rejects it before pytest starts: #SBATCH --nodes=1 #SBATCH --gpus-per-node=1 sbatch: error: QOSMinGRES sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Job violates accounting/QOS policy The GB300 QOS has a minimum GRES and a one-GPU job is under it, which is why every GB300 stage in this file asks for four. There is no single-GPU GB300 stage to add; the premise of that commit was wrong. The routing half of it did work -- the stage landed in L0_Test-SBSA-Single-GPU unblocked -- but the allocation never happened, and CBTS had narrowed builds 61754 and 61819 to a stage set in which this was the only GPU stage, so those runs tested nothing. l0_b300.yml is the single-GPU list for the same silicon: it and l0_gb300.yml both match '*gb110*', the Blackwell Ultra die, so both are sm_103 and a receipt from either is the same architecture's. Its stages ask for one GPU on an x86 cluster whose QOS accepts that, and they run today. So the two single-GPU entries go there instead, and both the new list and the new stage are dropped. The four entries that genuinely need four ranks are untouched on l0_gb300_multi_gpus.yml. Checked with scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py: both entries now resolve to B300-PyTorch-1/2 rather than to a stage that cannot start. What this cannot check is that they pass on an x86 host -- the kernels are the same sm_103 cubins, but that is an expectation until CI runs it.

Forty lines of commentary for six entries, in files whose other entries are one line each. Per review: a test list is an index, and the explanation belongs with the test. It was also duplication rather than documentation. The collective entry's reason for spawning its own 4-rank job is already in `_rank_job` and in the comment at the top of the matrix files that use it; the acceptance pair's shared-anchor logic is already in `test_mtp3_acceptance`'s own docstring, in more detail than the copy here. A second copy in a file nobody edits when the test changes is a copy that goes stale. What is left is the one thing that is about the list entry and is not recoverable from the test: where the TIMEOUT number came from. l0_gb300.yml's block is deleted outright rather than shortened. It explained which entries are *not* on that list, which is not something a list should carry. Comments only -- no entry added, removed or edited, and scripts/test_to_stage_mapping.py resolves the same stages as before. Signed-off-by: Fred Wei <20514172+WeiHaocheng@users.noreply.github.com>
`models/gpt_oss/targets/gpt_oss_120b/sm_103/tp1/` was six levels, and three
of them had exactly one child and an `__init__.py` whose only job was to
exist. It read as a hierarchy that was never one: there is no sense in which
targets group under a checkpoint, then under an SM. The triple is flat, and
so is the name now --
models/gpt_oss/gpt_oss_120b__sm_103__tp1/
Identity is still the whole triple, which is the part worth keeping: a
target is one self-contained forward per (checkpoint, GPU arch, parallel),
and the directory says which. It is just one segment instead of three nested
ones.
`targets/` goes with them. It separated `routing.py` from the targets at a
level that held one file, which is not a separation worth a directory.
`test_modeling_v2_claims.py` reads the triple back out of the module path to
check it against the class name; it now splits one segment on `__` rather
than walking three parents. That check is why this is a rename and not a
rewrite -- it caught nothing here because it was updated in the same commit,
but it is what keeps the path and the class name from drifting apart later.
Verified on GB300: the three no-GPU gates pass (42), and both target modules
import through their new paths. `_TARGETS` keys are (checkpoint, parallel)
and carry no path, and CODEOWNERS and the CBTS rule both match on the
`modeling_v2/` prefix, so none of the three needed touching.

…enough to join ruff-format, not a behaviour change. The flattened directory name is shorter than the three nested ones it replaced, so two strings that needed wrapping before now fit inside the 100-column limit, and the hook joins them. Missed because the previous commit was checked with `ruff check` and not `ruff format --check`. The two are separate hooks and only the first was run.

What this is
Staircase is an experiment in how modeling code is organized, not a new feature.
Where the built-in zoo has one class serving a whole model family across every
GPU generation and parallel topology, this has one self-contained forward per
(checkpoint, GPU architecture, parallel topology) triple: flat and readable end
to end, assembled only from a catalog of op wrappers, sharing nothing with its
siblings, and trusted through accuracy gates rather than through shared
abstractions.
It lives under
tensorrt_llm/_torch/_experimental/modeling_v2/and stays offunless
TRTLLM_MODELING_V2says otherwise, so nothing changes for anyone whodoes not opt in. Whether this is a better way to organize modeling code is the
question the experiment exists to answer.
