Background

Qwen3.8 is Qwen's August 2026 release. Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B is the dense,
Apache-2.0 member of that family and is not supported today.

Qwen3.8 is architecturally a Qwen3.5 re-release: its checkpoints declare
model_type: "qwen3_5" and architectures: ["Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration"],
and the tensor layout is unchanged. It is added here as its own family rather
than as a qwen3_5 variant, because AGENTS.md makes the model family the unit of
ownership, fault isolation, and rollback, and states that model-specific code is
duplicated by design.

Exit Criteria

  • Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B builds a bundle and generates text through a
    qwen3_8-owned runtime strategy.
  • Family dispatch routes Qwen3.8 to qwen3_8 and Qwen3.5 to qwen3_5, despite
    the two carrying identical model_type and architectures strings.
  • The model-owned E2E manifest passes at oracle level L1_external_reference
    against a Hugging Face reference.
  • No qwen3_5 file is modified, so this change can be reverted independently.

Non-goals, deliberately out of scope: Qwen3.8-27B-FP8, Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B
(MoE), Qwen3.8-Flash-Next (qwen4_exp), bf16 engine precision, the vision
tower, the MTP speculative-decoding head, and tensor/context parallel builds.

Implementation

New family, specialized from qwen3_5:

  • python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/ -- hybrid Gated DeltaNet plus
    self-attention decoder. Qwen3.8-27B is 64 layers: 48 linear_attention and 16
    full_attention, full_attention_interval: 4.
  • src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/ -- runtime model registering the
    qwen3_8_hybrid_mamba_attention strategy. CMake discovers it by globbing
    src/runtime/models/*/MODEL.toml; no shared build file changes.
  • tests/cpp/models/qwen3_8/, tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/ -- runtime and
    model-owned E2E tests, including the qwen38-27b manifest.

Family dispatch. Because the checkpoint strings collide with Qwen3.5,
dispatch cannot key on model_type. families/qwen3_8/MODEL.toml declares the
shared architecture_patterns entry, which family discovery consults before
alias matching, and Qwen38Plugin.matches_config then claims a checkpoint only
when its text config carries output_gate_type (Qwen3.8 only) and lacks
mlp_only_layers (present in every Qwen3.5 config). A Qwen3.5 checkpoint gets a
negative answer and falls through to qwen3_5. The architecture gate also
excludes the Qwen3_5MoeForCausalLM and Qwen4ExpForConditionalGeneration
siblings.

Serialized decoder config. Qwen3.8 keeps every decoder dimension under
text_config, but the runtime reads the bundle with a top-level nlohmann lookup
(extract_json_int -> j.find(key)), not a recursive search. Left nested,
hidden_size, num_attention_heads, num_key_value_heads and head_dim all
resolve to their fallbacks, compute_kv_dim() returns 0, and the KV cache
allocates zero-sized tensors. get_bundle_config_overrides publishes flat
copies; overrides are serialized ahead of the raw config body, so the runtime
sees real values while text_config stays intact for the Python side. This is
the same class of fix as 4fadf73, ddb1378 and 3ea6fd7.

One deliberate divergence from the qwen3_5 contract. eos_token_id is not
republished as an override. Qwen3.8-27B terminates on token 248046, which
appears only in generation_config.json; text_config carries the single id
248044. Overrides are merged last, so republishing the text_config value
would collapse the serialized list to 248044 alone, leave 248046 unmatched,
and run generation to max_new_tokens. Both new tests pin this, and the
producer test was mutation-verified: adding eos_token_id to the override set
makes it fail.

Config keys checked and needing no graph change. output_gate_type: "swish"
does not exist in Qwen3_5Config even in transformers v5.8.0, the version the
checkpoints declare; the reference gates the DeltaNet norm with hidden_act
("silu", equal to swish) and the attention output with sigmoid, which is what
this graph already does. mtp_num_hidden_layers refers to a head that is not
part of the decoder graph. The vision tower is likewise unused on the text-only
path.

DeltaNet head expansion. Qwen3.8-27B runs linear_num_key_heads: 16 against
linear_num_value_heads: 48, so Q and K broadcast 3x to meet V. The existing
path is generic in num_heads // num_kv_heads and matches the reference
repeat_interleave ordering; Qwen3.5-9B already exercises it at 2x.

Remaining changes are additive registry and documentation entries:
tests/runtime_strategy_matrix.yaml, tests/validation/{model_workloads,workloads}.yaml,
tests/e2e/timing_estimates.json, benchmarks/performance/release.yaml,
website/data/{model-support-matrix.md,hf-model-metadata.json},
website/docs/features/{model-families,runtime-strategies}.md,
src/runtime/domains/recurrent/README.md, and a refreshed
tools/legal_header_exceptions.toml hash for the edited strategy matrix.

Change categories

  • Model or runtime behavior
  • Public API
  • ABI
  • Bundle or artifact format
  • Dependencies
  • Documentation only
  • CI or developer tooling

Bundle format is unchanged: the flat decoder keys are additive content inside
this new family's own bundles, and no existing family's artifacts change.

Supplementary parity against an independent bf16 GPU reference (transformers
5.8.0, greedy, same chat template, thinking disabled). Note this compares an
fp16 engine against a bf16 reference:

  "capital of France? one word"                -> match, exact ids [57590, 248046]
  "capital of Japan? one word"                 -> match, exact ids (3 tokens)
  "single sentence explaining what a GPU does" -> match, exact ids (37 tokens)
  "17 * 23? just the number"                   -> match, exact ids (4 tokens), "391"
  "Name three primary colors."                 -> differs from step 15 of 48

  4/5 token-for-token exact.

The fifth prompt agrees for 14 tokens, then splits on an ambiguous continuation
("set" vs "answer"); both completions stay coherent and factually equivalent.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Repository head under test: 4e2dce057b9e0b5241a6afa0cbc1ff794e41f4e5,
    rebased onto 91860c5c34223cfcfe5548bc203564aae5f0f9e5.
  • Checkpoint: Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B at
    1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0 (bf16, 55.6 GB, 18 shards,
    1199 tensors; every shard verified against model.safetensors.index.json).
  • GPU: 1x NVIDIA SM 10.0, 183359 MiB, driver 595.58.03. Single device only.
  • OS/container: Linux x86_64, image built from Dockerfile.dev.x86
    (Ubuntu 24.04, Python 3.12.3), CUDA 13.3.
  • TensorRT: 11.1.0.106, ABI 11.1.
  • Precision: engine fp16; E2E reference fp32; supplementary reference bf16.
  • Reference library: transformers 5.8.0, the version the checkpoint declares.

Upstream crc32.txt in the checkpoint disagrees for chat_template.jinja,
generation_config.json and tokenizer_config.json. Re-downloading each yields
byte-identical content, so the local copy matches what the Hub serves and the
manifest is stale. No weight shard is affected.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • bf16 engine precision. The family accepts fp32 and fp16 work dtypes only
    and raises on bf16, matching qwen3_5. Not addressed here.
  • Other Qwen3.8 members. Qwen3.8-27B-FP8 needs FP8 block-scale loading
    (weight_scale_inv, weight_block_size: [128, 128]), which no current scale
    provider accepts. Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B needs MoE. Qwen3.8-Flash-Next is a
    different architecture (qwen4_exp). None are covered.
  • Vision tower and MTP head. Present in the checkpoint, not part of the
    decoder graph. Same as qwen3_5.
  • Single SM only. Validated on SM 10.0. No GB300 or other compute
    capability was exercised, which is why the support-matrix row is Yellow.
  • Performance not qualified. Decode was observed at roughly 12.55 ms/token,
    recorded as an observation only; no performance run was made.
  • Multi-device. Tensor-parallel and context-parallel builds were not
    exercised.
  • tools/diff_logits.py cannot drive this family. Its TRT path never binds
    conv_state_0, so its logits are meaningless. This is pre-existing and
    reproduces identically on the shipped qwen3_5 family; parity here comes from
    the model-owned E2E harness instead.
  • E2E run used local conveniences. The pre-built bundle was hard-linked into
    the engine directory so _resolve_bundle reused it, and the HF cache was
    seeded from an existing download so snapshot_download(local_files_only=True)
    resolved without re-fetching. Neither changes the manifest, but the build-plus-
    fetch path inside the harness was not exercised in the same run.

Notes For Future Readers

  • Suggested review order: families/qwen3_8/MODEL.toml and
    Qwen38Plugin.matches_config (the dispatch contract), then
    get_bundle_config_overrides and the two new tests (the serialization
    contract), then the runtime model, then the registry entries.
  • The eos_token_id divergence from qwen3_5 is the one place these two families
    intentionally differ. It is commented at the call site and asserted in both
    the producer and consumer tests.
  • No artifact rebuild is required for existing models; nothing outside the new
    family changes behavior.
  • The checkpoint's model_type will keep colliding with Qwen3.5. Any future
    change to family discovery ordering should keep
    architecture_patterns + matches_config taking precedence over alias
    matching, or Qwen3.8 checkpoints will silently bind to qwen3_5.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Additive change. No qwen3_5 file is modified and no existing family's code
path, bundle, or artifact changes; every shared-file edit is a new data entry in
a registry or documentation table. The blast radius on failure is limited to
Qwen3.8 checkpoints, which are unsupported today. The dispatch discriminator is
the one shared-behavior risk, and it is covered in both directions by tests plus
a check against the real Qwen3.5 and Qwen3.8 checkpoints.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 0901e

This PR adds a new Qwen3.8 runtime and validation path, but the current implementation still contains security, correctness, and stability risks that could execute unpinned validation code, silently generate incorrect tokens, corrupt generation when the cache is full, or crash tests; these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Replace the validation asserts with explicit exceptions.

python -O removes assert statements. With optimizations enabled, a layer_types list of the wrong length passes this check, and the mismatch surfaces later as an IndexError in the layer loop or as a silently wrong graph. The embedding shape check has the same problem.

The K/V width check inspects a DeltaNet layer.

graph_blocks.infer_kv_attention_size defaults to prefix="layer.0". In Qwen3.8-27B, layer 0 is a linear_attention (DeltaNet) layer, so layer.0.w_k does not exist. The function then returns the expected width without validating any loaded tensor, and a mismapped w_k reaches TensorRT unchecked. Pass the first attention layer index.

Enforce the single-token contract of advance() in release builds.

assert is removed when NDEBUG is defined. In a release build, a call with n_tokens > 1 copies one row and advances position_ by one. The state then disagrees with the caller, and every following mask is wrong. The interface comment in inference_state.h documents n_tokens > 1 for batched steps, so this call is reachable through the interface.

Throw instead of asserting.

Keep other families' helpers out of the qwen3_8 header.

This header is under src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/, so it is owned by the Qwen3.8 family. It declares load_mel_filterbank for Whisper mel extraction and create_clip_tokenizer_from_bundle for FLUX. Any consumer of these helpers must now include a Qwen3.8 header, which couples unrelated families to this model. Move the shared bundle, tokenizer, and TRT-loading helpers to a family-neutral location, and keep only Qwen3.8-specific declarations here.

As per path instructions: "Check ownership boundaries, public API compatibility, runtime safety, TensorRT lifetime rules, error propagation, and cross-platform behavior."

Parse the kernel manifest with the JSON library instead of substring scans.

find_kernels_array_bounds takes the first ] after the kernels array starts, and the loop takes the first } after each {. A manifest whose kernel entries contain a nested object or array, or a string that holds ] or }, is truncated or split, so kernels are skipped silently. nlohmann/json is already a dependency of this file's module. Use it to iterate the kernels array.

Inline comments:
In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/config.py`:
- Around line 187-189: Update the token ID initialization in the configuration
constructor to preserve declared zero values for bos_token_id, eos_token_id, and
pad_token_id by using an explicit None check instead of truthiness fallback;
retain -1 only for unset values and handle the existing scalar or sequence
token-ID shapes consistently.

In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/debug_runner.py`:
- Around line 273-278: Update the attention-mask initialization in the debug
runner to use the native runtime’s masked-score constant of -1.0e4 instead of
-1e9, preserving parity and FP16-safe behavior. Keep the existing valid-token
and final-position mask assignments unchanged.

In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/plugin.py`:
- Around line 484-489: Update Qwen38Plugin.build_engine to preserve quant_ctx
for quantized builds: thread it through every projection matmul and pass it to
add_swiglu_mlp, or explicitly reject any non-None quant_ctx with a clear error
before building. Ensure quantized requests cannot silently produce an
unquantized engine.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/hybrid_state.cpp`:
- Around line 12-33: Ensure Qwen38HybridState handles nullable kv_ and ssm_
members consistently with ok(): either reject null unique_ptr arguments in
Qwen38HybridState’s constructor or guard every delegation in reset(), bind_to(),
prepare_step(), and advance() before dereferencing. Preserve valid-state
behavior while preventing null-pointer dereferences for failed factory results.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/kv_cache.cpp`:
- Around line 362-370: Update Qwen38KvCache::ok() in
src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/kv_cache.cpp#L362-L370 to validate cache_v_,
present_k_, and present_v_ sizes and every tensor’s ok() status, matching the
existing cache_k_ checks. Update the state validation in
src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/recurrent_state.cpp#L84-L94 to also validate every
present_ tensor for each spec.
- Around line 107-116: Update Qwen38KvCache::mask_shape_for_engine so the
static-rank fallback uses the logical mask width, mask_width, rather than
mask_buf_size; preserve the existing rank-2 and rank-3 shape handling.
- Around line 324-340: Update the cache-full branch in the KV cache shift logic
to move each layer’s K and V rows with overlap-safe copying, replacing the
overlapping cudaMemcpyAsync calls on ck and cv with per-layer scratch storage or
an overlap-safe kernel while preserving the existing tail writes and position_
behavior.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/plugin_helpers.cpp`:
- Around line 419-430: Create the temporary kernel shared object securely in
write_kernel_so_to_temp using a process-private directory and mkstemp with mode
0600, avoiding the predictable global_name-based path and symlink replacement
risk. Check the file descriptor and write result, handling failures instead of
returning an invalid path, and update load_single_kernel to unlink the temporary
file after loading returns.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/plugin.cpp`:
- Around line 78-107: Validate num_attention_layers, num_mamba_layers,
mamba_nheads, and mamba_head_dim immediately after extracting them, rejecting
non-positive values before constructing Qwen38KvCache or Qwen38RecurrentState.
After creating the recurrent state, check ssm->ok() and validate the completed
Qwen38HybridState as well as the existing cache check, failing with clear
load-time errors instead of proceeding with zero-sized state.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/qwen3_8_recurrent_step_contracts.h`:
- Around line 16-43: Update validate_state_layer_count and
validate_state_tensor_sizes to return false when any state pointer or
StateTensorView::values is null. In validate_state_tensor_sizes, reject negative
num_layers and verify each vector contains the requested layer index before
dereferencing it; only access layers after these checks pass.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/sampler.h`:
- Line 20: Update qwen38_sampling_params_from_config to copy
GenerateConfig.repetition_penalty into Qwen38SamplingParams.repetition_penalty,
then make Qwen38TopKSampler apply that value during token sampling using the
existing repetition-penalty behavior. Preserve the default 1.0F behavior when no
penalty is configured.

In `@tests/cpp/models/qwen3_8/test_qwen3_8_recurrent_output_initializers.cpp`:
- Around line 68-87: Update all six check-message labels in the qwen3_8
recurrent initializer test to use “qwen3.8” instead of “qwen3.5”, preserving the
existing assertions and wording otherwise.

In `@tests/cpp/models/qwen3_8/test_qwen3_8_recurrent_pipeline.cpp`:
- Around line 228-238: Add the existing “SKIP: can't build engine” diagnostic
before both early returns guarded by !plan and !hybrid_engine in the hybrid
engine setup, while preserving the stream cleanup and return behavior.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/e2e_plugins/comparators/text.py`:
- Around line 264-275: Update the comparison logic in the comparator around
n_steps and the later NED handling so differing TRT and reference generation
lengths fail instead of silently truncating to shared steps. Require equal step
counts, or explicitly validate that a shorter output ends with the expected EOS
token before allowing comparison to continue; preserve the existing pass logic
only after this length condition is satisfied.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/e2e_plugins/references/hf_transformers.py`:
- Around line 881-889: Update the reference subprocess setup around
ctx.reference_python_path() and _reference_env so the child process can import
the hf_transformers module when launched outside the repository: preserve
existing environment entries and prepend or add PROJECT_DIR to PYTHONPATH, using
the existing project-directory symbol. Do not alter the inline helper imports or
unrelated subprocess behavior.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/e2e_plugins/runners/text_generation.py`:
- Around line 657-661: Remove any existing file at logits_path before launching
the debug subprocess, using the path constructed in the surrounding runner flow.
Preserve the later logits_path existence check so results are accepted only when
the current subprocess writes the file.
- Around line 100-112: Guard the json.loads call in the JSONL-reading helper so
malformed or truncated input returns the existing empty-result failure value
instead of propagating JSONDecodeError. Preserve the current handling for blank
lines, non-dict samples, and token_ids conversion, and keep the caller’s
failed-case reporting path usable.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/manifests/qwen38-27b.json`:
- Around line 3-10: Pin the Qwen model revision by adding an reviewed commit SHA
as hf_revision in the qwen38-27b manifest, then propagate that revision through
the reference snapshot and every remote-code AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, and
AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained call. Set trust_remote_code to false if the
model does not require remote code.

Nitpick comments:
In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/config.py`:
- Around line 211-217: Update ModelConfig.from_dir to remove the duplicate
fallback and explicitly raise a clear file-not-found error when config_path does
not exist; continue parsing config_path with ModelConfig.from_json when present.

In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/plugin.py`:
- Around line 226-227: Replace the validation asserts in the model setup,
including the layer_types length check near num_layers and the embedding shape
check, with explicit runtime exceptions such as ValueError. Ensure both
validations execute under python -O and fail before the layer-building loop when
configuration dimensions are inconsistent.
- Around line 527-528: Update the call to graph_blocks.infer_kv_attention_size
in the Qwen3 model setup to pass the index of the first regular attention layer
as its prefix, rather than relying on the default layer. Ensure the K/V width
validation inspects an existing w_k tensor from an attention layer and does not
use a DeltaNet layer.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/kv_cache.cpp`:
- Around line 303-307: Update Qwen38KvCache::advance to enforce n_tokens == 1 in
release builds by throwing an appropriate exception when a larger value is
passed, while preserving the existing single-token behavior.
- Around line 252-297: Check and handle the return status of every
cudaMemcpyAsync call in write_prefill_kv and append_prefill_kv, reporting
failures instead of continuing silently; apply the same status handling in
advance(). Preserve the existing cache-position updates only for successfully
issued copies and use the project’s established CUDA error-reporting mechanism.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/plugin_helpers.cpp`:
- Around line 458-467: Replace the substring-based parsing in
find_kernels_array_bounds and the kernel-processing loop with nlohmann/json
parsing. Parse the manifest as JSON, access the kernels array, and iterate
complete kernel objects so nested objects, arrays, and bracket characters inside
strings are handled correctly. Preserve the existing behavior for missing or
invalid kernel manifests.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/plugin_helpers.h`:
- Around line 116-137: Move the shared BundleFile
helpers—MelFilterbank/load_mel_filterbank, create_clip_tokenizer_from_bundle,
and load_ffi_kernels_from_bundle—out of the qwen3_8-owned header into a
family-neutral helper header, then update all consumers to include the new
header while preserving their existing APIs and behavior. Leave only
Qwen3.8-specific declarations in the qwen3_8 header and ensure the
implementation linkage, error handling, and TensorRT kernel-loading lifetime
remain unchanged.

Hugging Face Transformers from_pretrained revision default branch trust_remote_code official documentation

💡 Result:

In the Hugging Face Transformers library, the from_pretrained method allows you to load models and configurations from the Hub [1][2]. Revision Parameter The revision parameter defaults to "main" [1][3]. This parameter specifies the version of the model repository to load [1][4]. Because the Hugging Face Hub uses a git-based system, revision can accept any valid git identifier, including [1][2]: - Branch names (e.g., "main") - Tag names (e.g., "v1.0") - Commit hashes (e.g., "ed94a7c6247d8aedce4647f00f20de6875b5b292") - Pull requests (e.g., "refs/pr/<pr_number>") Using a specific commit hash or tag as the revision is recommended as a security best practice when loading custom models to ensure you are loading a specific, immutable version of the code and weights [5][6]. Trust Remote Code The trust_remote_code parameter is used to load models that contain custom modeling, configuration, or processing code defined in the repository [6][7]. - Default Behavior: It defaults to False for security reasons [7]. - Security Warning: When set to True, the library will download and execute arbitrary Python code present in the model repository on your local machine [7][8]. You should only set this to True for repositories you trust and whose code you have reviewed [8]. For further security, you can combine trust_remote_code=True with a specific revision (such as a commit hash) to ensure that the remote code you are executing has not been altered since you reviewed it [5][6].

Pin the model revision used by every remote-code loader. trust_remote_code: true reaches the Qwen reference’s AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig, and AutoModelForCausalLM.from_pretrained calls, which use the default main revision. Add hf_revision with a reviewed commit SHA, and pass it to the reference snapshot and all from_pretrained calls. Disable remote code if it is not required.

Qwen3.8 reuses the Qwen3.5 architecture: its checkpoints declare
model_type "qwen3_5" and architectures ["Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration"],
and the tensor layout is unchanged. It is a separate family here because the
model family is this project's unit of ownership, so Qwen3.8 must be
implementable, validatable and revertable without touching qwen3_5.

Because the checkpoint strings collide, family dispatch cannot key on
model_type. families/qwen3_8/MODEL.toml declares the shared
architecture_patterns entry, which family discovery consults before alias
matching, and Qwen38Plugin.matches_config then claims a checkpoint only when
its text config carries output_gate_type (Qwen3.8 only) and lacks
mlp_only_layers (present in every Qwen3.5 config). A genuine Qwen3.5
checkpoint gets a negative answer and falls through to qwen3_5. The
architecture gate also keeps the Qwen3_5MoeForCausalLM and
Qwen4ExpForConditionalGeneration siblings out of this dense family.

The bundle config needed one fix beyond the copy. The C++ runtime reads it
with extract_json_int(), which parses through nlohmann and does a top-level
j.find(key) rather than the flat text search the builder comment describes,
so decoder dimensions nested under text_config are invisible. hidden_size,
num_attention_heads, num_key_value_heads and head_dim all resolved to their
fallbacks, compute_kv_dim() returned 0, and the KV cache allocated zero-sized
tensors, failing pipeline construction. get_bundle_config_overrides now
publishes flat copies of those dimensions; overrides are serialized ahead of
the raw config body, so the runtime sees real values while text_config stays
intact for the Python side. eos_token_id is deliberately not republished,
because the builder already emits the full stop-id list from
generation_config.json while text_config holds only one.

Three Qwen3.8 config keys were checked and need no graph change.
output_gate_type does not exist in Qwen3_5Config even in transformers v5.8.0,
the version the checkpoints declare; the reference gates the DeltaNet norm
with hidden_act ("silu", equal to swish) and the attention output with
sigmoid, which is what this graph already does. mtp_num_hidden_layers refers
to a speculative-decoding head that is present in the checkpoint and not part
of the decoder graph. The vision tower is likewise not consumed by the
text-only path.

Qwen3.8-27B runs linear_num_key_heads 16 against linear_num_value_heads 48,
so Q and K broadcast 3x to meet V. The existing expansion path is generic in
num_heads // num_kv_heads and produces the same ordering as the reference
repeat_interleave; Qwen3.5-9B already exercises it at 2x.

Validation on one NVIDIA SM 10.0 device, Linux x86_64, TensorRT 11.1.0.106,
against Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B (bf16 checkpoint, 55.6 GB, 18 shards):

  - fp16 engine builds: 64 layers, 51313.4 MB plan, 672 s end to end
  - tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8 case qwen38-27b passes at oracle level
    L1_external_reference against an fp32 hf_transformers reference:
    exact_match 1.0, normalized edit distance 0.0
  - an independent bf16 GPU reference on transformers 5.8.0 agrees
    token-for-token on 4 of 5 prompts; the fifth is a 48-token free-form
    answer that diverges at step 15 and stays coherent, which is expected
    between an fp16 engine and a bf16 reference
  - qwen3_5 family tests still pass; no qwen3_5 file is modified

The family plugin accepts fp32 and fp16 work dtypes only, matching qwen3_5;
bf16 engine precision is rejected. Qwen3.8-27B-FP8, Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B and
Qwen3.8-Flash-Next are not covered by this change.

Adopt the runtime-config contract pattern that landed alongside the
qwen3_5, qwen_vl, internvl and locateanything decoder-config fixes, so the
Qwen3.8 bundle contract is pinned on both sides of the producer/consumer
boundary rather than only exercised end to end.

test_qwen3_8_runtime_config_contract.cpp is a CPU-only consumer check. It
feeds parse_base_config() the config.json section transcribed from a bundle
built at Qwen/Qwen3.8-27B 1d4bf0f2ff6012fd82039f2fa52739d0dd7c60c0 and
asserts the decoder geometry the strict parser must recover, including
num_key_value_heads * head_dim == 1024. Without the flat top-level fields
that value is 0 and the KV cache allocates zero-sized tensors.

test_mock_bundle_serializes_decoder_and_hybrid_config is the producer half.
It drives build_bundle with mocked engines and asserts that the flat decoder
contract appears at the top level of the serialized config while text_config
is preserved unmodified for the Python side.

Both tests pin the one place Qwen3.8 deliberately departs from the qwen3_5
contract. Qwen3.8 terminates on token 248046, which appears only in
generation_config.json; text_config carries the single id 248044. Bundle
overrides are merged after the raw config body, so republishing the
text_config value would collapse the serialized list to 248044 alone, leave
248046 unmatched, and run generation to max_new_tokens. The producer test
fails if eos_token_id is added to the override set, which was verified by
mutating the plugin.

The runtime manifest also gains REQUIRES_GPU on the recurrent pipeline test,
matching the qwen3_5 manifest; that test loads a TensorRT engine and cannot
run on a CPU-only runner.

All three qwen3_8 runtime tests pass on one NVIDIA SM 10.0 device with
TensorRT 11.1.0.106.

Signed-off-by: Zhenshan Xie <zhenshanx@nvidia.com>
Resolves all eighteen findings raised on this pull request. Every change is
confined to the qwen3_8 family; no qwen3_5 or shared file is touched.

Specific to this change:

- Six assertions in the recurrent-output-initializer test were labelled
  "qwen3.5". The rename that produced this family did not cover the lowercase
  spelling inside string literals, so a failure pointed triage at the wrong
  family.
- The E2E manifest now pins hf_revision. The case sets trust_remote_code, which
  reaches AutoTokenizer, AutoConfig and AutoModelForCausalLM; without a revision
  those resolve the moving `main` ref.
- build_engine accepted a quantization context and ignored it. The graph emits
  plain matmuls and never threads quant_ctx into its projections, so a build
  requested with --quantize or --fp8 returned an unquantized engine and reported
  success. It now raises NotImplementedError.

Correctness:

- The debug runner masked attention scores with -1e9 while the native runtime
  uses kMaskedScore = -1.0e4, despite a comment claiming they matched. The two
  paths fed different masks to the same engine, and -1e9 is outside the FP16
  range, so an FP16 engine turns it into -inf and a fully masked row yields NaN
  after the softmax.
- mask_shape_for_engine derived the static-rank shape from mask_buf_.size().
  A batched prefill grows that buffer and never shrinks it, so a later decode
  step reported a shape wider than the engine input. It now uses the logical
  mask width, which also removes the parameter.
- The cache-full row shift issued cudaMemcpyAsync over overlapping ranges, which
  CUDA leaves undefined and which can corrupt the KV cache once it fills. The
  shift now stages through a scratch buffer, allocated on first overflow so a
  cache that never fills never pays for it.
- ModelConfig mapped a declared token id of 0 to -1, because `value or -1`
  treats 0 as unset. A checkpoint using token 0 for EOS lost stop detection.
- repetition_penalty was exposed on the sampling params but never read from the
  config and never applied. It is now forwarded and applied to the logits before
  sampling, which lets both samplers honor it without either needing the token
  history.

Robustness:

- Qwen38HybridState admitted null members in ok() while every other method
  dereferenced them. Null is now rejected in the constructor, which also
  simplifies ok().
- Qwen38KvCache::ok() checked only cache_k_, and Qwen38RecurrentState::ok()
  only state_. Qwen38Plugin::create relies on ok() to reject a state whose
  device allocations failed, so a partial check reported a broken state as
  healthy. Both now check every buffer group.
- The recurrent step contracts dereferenced null state pointers, indexed past
  short vectors, and returned true for a negative layer count.
- The plugin built state objects from bundle config values that default to 0.
  Zero attention layers yields an empty KV cache whose ok() is trivially true,
  and zero mamba heads yields zero-element SSM tensors. Those values are now
  rejected at load time, and the recurrent and hybrid states are checked too.
- Two early returns in the recurrent pipeline test exited silently, losing
  hybrid coverage without a signal while still reporting success.

Security:

- The TVM-FFI kernel .so was written to the predictable, world-writable path
  /tmp/trtmc_kernel_<name>.so and then loaded from it, so a local attacker could
  pre-create it as a symlink or swap the file between the write and the dlopen.
  The write status was never checked, and the file was never removed. It is now
  staged in a private mkdtemp directory, opened with O_EXCL|O_NOFOLLOW and mode
  0600, verified, and unlinked after the loader returns.

Test oracle:

- The text comparator truncated logits to the shorter side, discarding every
  unmatched decode step, so an early EOS or a dropped step was scored only on
  the shared prefix. Unequal step counts now fail. The NED prefix fallback is
  restricted to its documented case, TRT stopping early, and no longer excuses
  a reference shorter than the TRT output.
- A truncated or non-JSON first line in the runner output raised out of the
  stage instead of reporting a failed case with captured stderr.
- The debug-runner logits path is fixed per case and phase and was accepted
  whenever the file existed, so a subprocess that exited 0 without writing
  passed on logits from an earlier run. The target is removed before launch.
- The reference subprocess did not have the repository root on its import path,
  so it failed to import its own module when the parent ran from elsewhere.

Validation on one NVIDIA SM 10.0 device with TensorRT 11.1.0.106: ctest -R
qwen3_8 passes 3/3; the qwen3_8 Python tests pass 11/11; the qwen3_5 tests still
pass 7/7; ruff and the legal-header check are clean; and the qwen38-27b E2E case
still passes against its Hugging Face reference with the pinned revision
(exact_match 1.0, ned 0.0).

Derive vocab_size from the config, not from the prefill logits length.

vocab_size uses logits.size(), which equals the whole flattened logits tensor. If the engine ever emits a shape with a leading batch or sequence axis, this value exceeds the real vocabulary and the sampler reads past the last valid score. RecurrentGenConfig::vocab_size already carries the authoritative value, and the tests set it.

Consider clamping to config_.vocab_size when it is positive.

builder, network, and bconfig are used without null checks. createInferBuilder, createNetworkV2, and createBuilderConfig all return null on failure. Every other TensorRT setup path in this file guards the result and prints SKIP. Add the same guard so a broken TensorRT environment produces a skip message instead of a null dereference.

Inline comments:
In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/debug_runner.py`:
- Around line 353-357: Update the KV-cache shift in HybridTrtRunner.step so the
cache move avoids overlapping source and destination ranges when cache_length
reaches max_cache_length. Use a scratch device buffer or perform a safe
end-to-start row copy, while preserving the existing behavior for
max_cache_length greater than one.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/pipeline.cpp`:
- Around line 236-238: Update run_step around the cudaMemcpy copying logits to
check and propagate its return status before sampling; ensure failed
device-to-host copies throw or otherwise exit the flow, preventing sampling from
using stale logits.

In `@tests/cpp/models/qwen3_8/test_qwen3_8_recurrent_pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 152: Ensure each affected test destroys its pipeline before calling
cudaStreamDestroy(stream), including test_qwen3_8_recurrent_pipeline,
test_rwkv_pipeline, test_hybrid_pipeline, and
test_generate_applies_chat_template. Scope or otherwise explicitly release the
pipeline so its destructor completes while the stream remains valid, then
destroy the stream afterward.
- Around line 213-214: Update the attention_mask input shape in the test setup
around Qwen38KvCache and TrtModuleImpl::forward_async from width 4 to width 5,
preserving the rank-1 shape so the mock matches the emitted decode mask.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/e2e_plugins/runners/text_generation.py`:
- Around line 629-630: Update the C++ stage call to save_full_stderr so it
passes case.name as the case_name argument, matching the existing debug-runner
usage and ensuring stderr artifacts are stored per test case.

Nitpick comments:
In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/config.py`:
- Around line 230-232: Remove the redundant exists() conditional in from_dir and
keep a single ModelConfig.from_json(config_path.read_text()) path. Do not add
unrelated error handling; preserve the existing FileNotFoundError behavior for
missing config.json.

In `@python/tensorrt_model_connect/families/qwen3_8/plugin.py`:
- Around line 226-227: Replace the assert validating layer_types length against
num_layers in the checkpoint validation flow with an explicit ValueError using
the same diagnostic message, ensuring the validation and error propagation
remain active in all interpreter modes.

In `@src/runtime/models/qwen3_8/pipeline.cpp`:
- Line 119: Update the vocab_size calculation in the logits sampling path to use
RecurrentGenConfig::vocab_size as the authoritative vocabulary size instead of
logits.size(). When the configured value is positive, use it or clamp the
derived value accordingly so sampler indexing cannot include batch or sequence
dimensions.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/test_qwen3_8_debug_runner.py`:
- Line 52: Update the fixture payload for engine_plan_tp_rank1 in the qwen3_8
test to use a QWEN3_8-labeled value, preserving the existing bytes format and
assertion behavior.

In `@tests/e2e/models/qwen3_8/test_qwen3_8_family_plugin.py`:
- Around line 26-27: Update the test imports and configuration construction to
use ModelConfig from the qwen3_8 family-owned config module, ensuring
Qwen38Plugin is exercised with its own parsing behavior and type contract rather
than the shared configuration class.

🌐 Web query:

Does cudaMemcpyAsync allow overlapping source and destination device memory regions?

💡 Result:

No, cudaMemcpyAsync does not allow overlapping source and destination memory regions. Official NVIDIA documentation explicitly states that the memory areas involved in the copy must not overlap, and doing so results in undefined behavior [1]. This restriction also applies to similar asynchronous memory operations, such as cuda::memcpy_async [2].

Use non-overlapping storage for the KV-cache shift.

When self.cache_length >= self.max_cache_length and max_cache_length > 1, HybridTrtRunner.step passes overlapping ranges from cache_buf to cudaMemcpyAsync. CUDA does not define the result, so the KV cache can become corrupted during generation. Use a scratch device buffer or copy rows from the end.

Propagate the cudaMemcpy status before sampling.

The Qwen3.8 graph casts logits to trt.float32, including FP16 engine builds. The dtype mismatch does not apply. However, run_step ignores cudaMemcpy errors. If the copy fails, sampling can use stale logits. Throw or otherwise propagate the copy error before sampling.

Destroy the CUDA stream after the pipeline is destroyed.

cudaStreamDestroy(stream) runs while pipeline still owns the module, the state, and the device tensors. The pipeline destructor runs at scope exit, after the stream handle is invalid. Any synchronize or async free that the destructor issues on stream_ then uses a destroyed handle, which is undefined behavior and can crash the test intermittently.

The same ordering appears in test_rwkv_pipeline (Line 191), test_hybrid_pipeline (Line 265), and test_generate_applies_chat_template (Line 310).

🛡️ Proposed fix: scope the pipeline so it dies first

Declare attention_mask with width 5.

Qwen38KvCache(1, 4, 2, stream) emits a rank-1 decode mask with width max_length + 1 (5). TrtModuleImpl::forward_async keeps the static engine shape at 4 and copies only four elements, silently dropping the fifth. Set the mock input shape to {1, {5}}.

Pass case.name to save_full_stderr for the C++ stage.

save_full_stderr writes to <artifacts_dir>/cpp_binary_stderr.log when case_name is empty. All cases share one artifacts root, so a later failing case overwrites the log of an earlier one. The debug-runner call at lines 834-836 already passes case.name. Use the same per-case directory here.

Community CPU failed on the previous head. Three unrelated causes.

clang-format rejected three sites introduced by the review fixes: a boolean
chain in Qwen38KvCache::ok(), the POSIX headers added to plugin_helpers.cpp for
the kernel staging change, and the open() call in that same function. The C++
sources are now formatted with the version CI runs.

The HF reference sidecar carried the bare term "qwen" in a comment naming this
module's own dotted import path. That term is reserved to the qwen_vl family by
test_hf_transformers_model_plugins_do_not_name_sibling_families, and the qwen3_5
sidecar contains no occurrence of it either. The comment now refers to the
module without naming the path.

Adding a family shifts repository-wide counters that several contract tests
assert exactly. All of them are bumped by one for qwen3_8 and its qwen38-27b
profile, relative to the current main:

  test_family_specialization  families                        85 -> 86
  test_trtmc_validate         catalog models / ready models  117 -> 118
                              validation bindings            118 -> 119
                              dataset-backed binding models  117 -> 118
  test_perf_matrix            release suite cases            110 -> 111
                              release raw entries             80 -> 81
                              family/operation pairs          80 -> 81
                              distinct families               78 -> 79
                              public_pipeline_call_wall       85 -> 86
                              consolidated result rows       110 -> 111
  test_performance_catalog    release suite cases            110 -> 111

test_repository_contracts delegates to the validate and perf-matrix checks, so
it passes once those counts are correct.

These counters were stale from the first commit of this branch, not from the
review fixes. The earlier local runs covered only four test files and none of
these; the full set now passes.

Validation on one NVIDIA SM 10.0 device with TensorRT 11.1.0.106:
both Community CPU stages were reproduced locally with their own commands.
Source quality: clang-format --dry-run --Werror is clean over every qwen3_8 C++
source, test_model_plugin_encapsulation_static passes 160/160, and ruff and
tools/legal_headers.py are clean. Unit: the full
`pytest tests/builder/ tests/tools/ tests/e2e_harness/` selection that CI runs
passes 3774 passed, 2 skipped. ctest -R qwen3_8 passes 3/3.
