Description

Enable Nemotron Super 3.5 VL video input.

Verified on B200:

  • quickstart_multimodal.py --modality image

  • trtllm-serve with a real image

Test Coverage

tests/unittest/_torch/modeling/test_modeling_nemotron_nano_v2_vl.py::test_nemotron_nano_registers_native_multimodal_epd_components

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 3bf25

The change enables video input but still accepts some non-3-channel configurations that can fail during patch processing, causing runtime errors for those inputs. Merge should wait for this bounded compatibility issue to be fixed or explicitly accepted by the owner.

Cover the new model-type registration in the regression test.

The changed loop verifies MODEL_CLASS_VISION_ENCODER_MAPPING for the new architecture. It does not verify MULTIMODAL_MODEL_TYPE_TO_MODULE["nemotron_h_omni"] or the corresponding register_input_processor registration. A typo in either registration would pass this test. Add direct assertions for both paths.

As per path instructions, test-code changes must identify changed test functions and provide coverage verification.

NVIDIA RADIO C-RADIOv4-H configuration num_channels in_chans input channels

💡 Result:

In the NVIDIA RADIO framework, including the C-RADIOv4-H variant, the number of input channels (in_chans) defaults to 3 [1][2]. The codebase is designed to allow flexibility for this parameter: when configuring or initializing the model, the system checks for an explicitly provided in_chans value or falls back to the first dimension of the input_size if provided [1][2]. For standard usage, the model expects standard RGB image inputs [3]. In the model implementation (specifically within radio_model.py), the logic is as follows: in_chans = 3 if args.in_chans is not None: in_chans = args.in_chans elif args.input_size is not None: in_chans = args.input_size [1][2] While the framework supports various resolutions and dynamic configurations [3], the underlying model architecture for C-RADIOv4-H is generally initialized for 3-channel (RGB) inputs by default [1][2]. Users working with the model via Hugging Face or the official GitHub repository typically use standard RGB image processors that output 3-channel tensors [4][5][3].

🌐 Web query:

site:github.com/NVlabs/RADIO radio_model.py in_chans non-3 channel support C-RADIO

💡 Result:

In the NVlabs/RADIO repository, the radio_model.py implementation defaults to 3 input channels (in_chans=3) [1]. While the create_model_from_args function allows the in_chans parameter to be overridden via command-line arguments or input_size settings, the underlying architecture of the C-RADIO models is primarily designed for standard RGB images [1][2][3]. There is no explicit configuration or specific support logic within radio_model.py that enables arbitrary non-3 channel input support (e.g., for multi-spectral or grayscale data) out of the box for C-RADIO. If you intend to use non-3 channel inputs, you would likely need to modify the input projection layer (the stem) of the model, similar to how one might adapt other Vision Transformer-based architectures by modifying the initial patch embedding to accommodate the desired number of channels. E-RADIO models, which are also part of the RADIO framework, include a PatchEmbed class that explicitly takes an in_chans parameter [4], but the core C-RADIO models are optimized for standard 3-channel vision tasks [5][3].

Citations:


Guard non-RGB channel counts or propagate them to the patch projection.

in_chans reaches VisionTransformer but not ViTPatchGenerator. Im2Patches preserves the input channel count, while ViTPatchLinear always expects 3-channel patch features. If a non-3-channel input reaches this path, the first projection can fail with an input-shape error. Pass in_chans to the patch projections or reject non-3 values here.

CI Agent Failure Analysis

Link to invocation

Nemotron Super 3.5 VL (architecture `NemotronH_Omni_Reasoning_V3`, HF
model_type `nemotron_h_omni`) reuses the NanoV2VL model and input processor,
but its config schema differs from the Nano checkpoints at four sites.
Register the new architecture and teach each site to read the schema this
checkpoint actually ships.

Plumbing:

- Registration. `register_auto_model` on the new architecture makes the
  checkpoint resolve to `NemotronH_Nano_VL_V2`, which also selects
  `NanoV2VLInputProcessor` since processor lookup is keyed by model class.
  `register_input_processor(model_type="nemotron_h_omni")` registers the
  placeholder metadata that trtllm-serve looks up by HF `config.model_type`.
  Both need a matching `_arch_index.py` row for lazy loading.

- Image delimiters. The config does not declare `img_start_token` /
  `img_end_token`; fall back to the InternVL `<img>` / `</img>` pair that
  the checkpoint's own processor uses.

- Context length. Stated on the inner `llm_config` rather than as a top-level
  `max_sequence_length`, which the dynamic-resolution tiler needs.

- Video sizing. This checkpoint's image processor is patch-based
  (`max_num_patches`) rather than tile-based, and states the video target size
  on itself instead of on `vision_config`. Read it from whichever of the two
  declares it, selected on the presence of `processor.max_num_tiles`. This is
  what unblocks video: images run entirely through the dynamic-resolution
  tiler, but the video path has no tiler equivalent and otherwise falls back to
  tile-based preprocessing that a patch-based processor cannot serve.

- RADIO. C-RADIOv4-H ships a flat config: it omits `in_chans` / `input_size` /
  `drop` from the `args` bag, omits the adaptor and normalizer fields, and
  names `max_resolution` / `preferred_resolution` as `max_img_size` /
  `image_size`. Resolve each from whichever name is present.

At every one of these sites, a config that declares the legacy field takes the
same branch it did before, so tile-based checkpoints are unaffected. Extend
`test_nemotron_nano_registers_native_multimodal_epd_components` to cover the
new architecture.

Verified on B200:
- `quickstart_multimodal.py --modality image`
- `quickstart_multimodal.py --modality video`
- `trtllm-serve` with a real image
