-# MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL — EXL3 2.27 bpw (with the DFlash drafter)
+# MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL — EXL3 2.27 bpw
 
 [XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL](https://huggingface.co/XiaomiMiMo/MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL)
-quantized to **EXL3 ~2.27 bpw** so that a 309B-parameter MoE runs on **one 128 GB
-machine**. Built and measured end to end on an **NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10, 121.6 GiB
-unified memory, aarch64)**.
-
-The repo also ships Xiaomi's **DFlash** drafter in `dflash/`, repaired so it actually
-loads and quantized to 4 bpw, so speculative decoding works out of the box (**1.58x on coding, 1.70x on
-reasoning — and up to 2.08x at 250K context** — see [Speed](#speed-on-a-dgx-spark)).
-
-> **Updated 2026-09-23.** Layer 47 was re-quantized with a proper fix for its fp16 overflow
-> (`interm_div`, see [below](#layer-47-and-interm_div)) instead of a 6 bpw override plus a raised
-> bad-row limit. This build needs the current
-> [`mimo-v2.6-flash` exllamav3 branch](https://github.com/benthecarman/exllamav3/tree/mimo-v2.6-flash);
-> the previous weights do not load correctly on it, and these weights do not load correctly on the
-> old branch. Update both together. Size, bitrate and perplexity below are for the new build. The
-> benchmark, speed, memory and long-context sections were measured on the previous 2.34 bpw build
-> (layers 0-46 are byte-identical to it) and have not been re-run.
+(309B total / 15B active MoE) quantized to EXL3 at 2.27 bpw, so it fits on a single 128 GB
+machine. Built and tested on an NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10).
+
+The repo also includes Xiaomi's DFlash speculative-decoding drafter, fixed so it loads and
+quantized to 4 bpw.

-MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL is a **309B-total / 15B-active** mixture-of-experts model: 48 layers,
-**256 routed experts** with top-8 routing (sigmoid scoring, `noaux_tc` grouping), layer 0
-dense, `hidden_size` 4096, `moe_intermediate_size` 2048. Attention is hybrid: 9 global
-layers (64 query / 4 KV heads) and 39 sliding-window layers (window 128, 64 query / 8 KV
-heads, with attention sinks), fused QKV, QK head_dim 192 against V head_dim 128, and an
-`attention_value_scale` of 0.707.
+**This needs a patched exllamav3.** MiMo-V2 support is not upstream yet; see
+[How to run](#how-to-run).
 
-The source checkpoint is ~173 GB: routed experts are stored as OCP **MXFP4** (e2m1 nibbles
-with e8m0 byte scales, block 32 along K), attention and the dense layer-0 MLP as **FP8
-e4m3** with 128x128 `weight_scale_inv` blocks, and embeddings / `lm_head` / norms in BF16.
-All of that is dequantized during conversion and re-quantized as EXL3 trellis codes.
-
-**This quant is text-only.** The source repo's vision and audio towers and its three MTP
-heads are not converted and not present. `config.json` still carries the `vision_config`,
-`audio_config` and `processor_config` blocks verbatim from upstream (so the file stays a
-faithful description of the base model), but no corresponding tensors exist here.

 ## Bitrate
 
-`-b 2.25 -hq` does not mean "2.25 bpw everywhere" — exllamav3's `-hq` plan spends bits where
-they matter and the per-module result is what actually landed:
-
-| module group | layers | bpw |
-|---|---|---|
-| routed experts (`mlp.experts.*.{gate,up,down}_proj`) | 24 layers (12–35) | **2.0** |
-| routed experts | 23 layers (1–11, 36–47) | **2.5** |
-| attention (`q/k/v/o_proj`) | all 48 | **4.0** |
-| dense MLP, layer 0 (`gate/up/down_proj`) | 1 | **3.0** |
-| `lm_head` | — | **6.0** |
-| `embed_tokens`, all norms, router weights, `e_score_correction_bias`, attention sinks | — | **16-bit** (BF16, unquantized) |
-
-Converter's summary line: `Final bitrate (excluding head): 2.27 (--hq enabled)`.
-
-### The command
+Converted with `convert.py -b 2.25 -hq -cr 250 -cc 2048`. The per-module result:
 
-Converted with [exllamav3](https://github.com/turboderp-org/exllamav3) 1.5.1 plus the
-MiMo-V2.6 port, on a single RTX PRO 6000 (7.3 h, ~$29 of rented GPU; layer 47 and the head
-were later redone from the layer-47 checkpoint in 15 min):
-
-```sh
-python convert.py \
-    -i MiMo-V2.6-Flash-RL -o mimo-2.25bpw-hq -w work \
-    -b 2.25 -hq \
-    -cr 250 -cc 2048
-```
-
-`-cr 250 -cc 2048` is the converter default (250 calibration rows x 2048 tokens) and was
-kept deliberately: measuring `-cr 120` saved only 6.1% of wall time, because calibration is
-~9% of an MoE layer and LDLQ + trellis search is the other ~90%.
-
-### Layer 47 and `interm_div`
-
-On this checkpoint, layer 47's routed experts push `act(gate) * up` to about 84k on some
-number tokens (mostly expert 208 channel 18 and expert 70 channel 1387), past the fp16 max of
-65504. `gate` and `up` on their own stay under 2.3k, and no other layer gets above 3k. Xiaomi's
-reference runs bf16 there and stays finite; exllamav3 runs these intermediates in fp16.
-
-The previous build worked around it at conversion time: layer 47's experts at 6 bpw, and a
-raised limit on non-finite calibration rows (31 of 250 were dropped). It still produced
-non-finite logits at inference on 33 of the converter's 250 calibration rows.
-
-This build uses `interm_div = 128` on layer 47, the same mechanism exllamav3 uses for Laguna.
-`up_proj` is scaled by 1/128 before quantization and `routed_scaling_factor` puts the 128 back
-in fp32, so the peak becomes about 660. No calibration rows went non-finite during conversion,
-and the finished model gives 0 non-finite rows on those same 250 rows. Layer 47's experts are
-back at 2.5 bpw, which accounts for the smaller file and most of the small perplexity change.
-
-Because the 1/128 lives in the quantized weights, these weights need a matching exllamav3
-branch. fp32 intermediates are not a substitute: the fused prefill kernel stores fp16
-regardless, and without it the activation kernel clamps the product to 65504.
-
----
+| module | bpw |
+|---|---|
+| routed experts, layers 12–35 | 2.0 |
+| routed experts, layers 1–11 and 36–47 | 2.5 |
+| attention | 4.0 |
+| dense MLP (layer 0) | 3.0 |
+| `lm_head` | 6.0 |
+| embeddings, norms, router | BF16 |
+
+**Layer 47:** some of its experts produce intermediate values past the fp16 limit.
+This build scales `up_proj` down by 128 in that layer (`interm_div`) and restores the scale in
+fp32. Because the scale is folded into the weights, these weights need the current
+`mimo-v2.6-flash` exllamav3 branch; on an older checkout they load but produce wrong output.
 
 ## Quality
 
-### Perplexity
-
-wikitext-2 **test** split, non-overlapping rows, via `exllamav3/eval/ppl.py`:
-
-| rows x length | perplexity | scored tokens |
-|---|---|---|
-| **64 x 2048** | **5.4003** | 131,008 |
-
-Previous build, same method: 16 x 2048 5.2410, 64 x 2048 5.3615, 146 x 2048 (the entire test
-split) 5.3174. Row count moves the number by ~±0.04, so quote it with the number.
-**0 non-finite tokens** in every run.
-
-### Benchmarks
-
-**Measured on the previous 2.34 bpw build**, whose layer 47 differs from this one. Not re-run.
-
-**Read this first.** These are absolute scores from one specific harness, so they are **not**
-comparable to anyone else's published figures. They *are* comparable to each other: the
-"reference FP8" column is the **unquantized model**, run through the **same script, the same
-seeded items, the same prompts, the same greedy sampling and the same `max_tokens`** — only
-`--base-url` and `--model` differed. Read the caveats below the table before the numbers.
-
-| task | N | this quant (2.36 bpw EXL3) | reference FP8, same harness | delta | published by Xiaomi |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| HumanEval+ (pass@1, `plus`) | 164 (full set) | **89.6%** | **90.2%** | **−0.6 pp** | not published |
-| MBPP+ (pass@1, `plus`) | 378 (full set) | **77.5%** | **77.2%** | **+0.3 pp** | not published |
-| GSM8K (exact match) | 500 | **95.8%** (479/500) | **96.4%** (482/500) | **−0.6 pp** | not published |
-| MMLU-Pro (acc) | 500, stratified over all 14 categories | **72.6%** (363/500) — a **floor**, true value 72.6–74.8% | **76.4%** (382/500), floor of 76.4–78.8% | **−3.8 pp** | not published |
-| GPQA-Diamond (acc, 8K budget) | 64 | **46.9%** (30/64) | **56.2%** (36/64) | **−9.4 pp** | not published |
-| GPQA-Diamond (acc, runs that finished inside the 8K budget) | 35 / 40 | **85.7%** | **90.0%** | **−4.3 pp** | not published |
-
-Base (non-`plus`) pass@1: HumanEval **92.07** quant vs **92.68** reference (−0.6 pp); MBPP
-**88.10** vs **90.21** (−2.1 pp).
-
-**The short version: code and arithmetic survive 2.36 bpw almost intact (−0.6 / +0.3 / −0.6 pp),
-broad factual recall does not (−3.8 pp on MMLU-Pro), and long-form reasoning degrades mostly by
-running long rather than by being wrong** — GPQA's −9.4 pp is about half budget (the quant hit
-the 8,192-token cap on 45.3% of items against the reference's 37.5%) and about half quality
-(−4.3 pp among the runs that finished, which at n=35/40 is inside the noise). If you serve this
-quant for reasoning work, give it a larger `max_tokens` than you would give the FP8 model.
-
-Item-level, on exactly the same items, the disagreements on the three near-zero-delta tasks are
-**two-sided and balanced** — HumanEval+ 4 items the quant wins vs 5 the reference wins, MBPP+
-12 vs 11, GSM8K 6 vs 9 — i.e. noise around a shared answer rather than a systematic loss. On
-MMLU-Pro (26 vs 45) and GPQA (1 vs 7) the asymmetry is real.
-
-**Settings, identical for every row:** greedy (`temperature 0.0`, `top_p 1.0`), zero-shot,
-seed 1234, batch 1; the quant column was served by TabbyAPI with the DFlash drafter on.
-Thinking is **off**
-(`chat_template_kwargs: {"enable_thinking": false}`) for HumanEval+, MBPP+, GSM8K and
-MMLU-Pro, and **on** for GPQA-Diamond. `max_tokens`: 1536 / 1024 / 1024 / 1536 / 8192
-respectively. Datasets: evalplus `HumanEvalPlus v0.1.10` and `MbppPlus v0.2.0` (scored with
-`evalplus.evaluate`), `openai/gsm8k`, `TIGER-Lab/MMLU-Pro`, `Idavidrein/gpqa` `gpqa_diamond`.
-The reference column used **every one of those settings unchanged**, and `--only-ids-from` the
-quant's own output so both columns cover exactly the same item ids (GPQA: the same 64).
-
-**Caveats that matter more than the numbers:**
-
-1. **These are not comparable to Xiaomi's published numbers, because there are none.** The
-   MiMo-V2.6 technical report's only results table is entirely *agentic* — DeepSWE v1.1
-   67.9, Terminal Bench 2.1 87.6, OSWorld-Verified 80.8, CyberGym 95.1, and so on. Greps for
-   GPQA / AIME / MMLU / LiveCodeBench / HumanEval / GSM8K / IFEval / SimpleQA / HLE /
-   MATH-500 / BBH / DROP over all 44 pages return **zero hits**. Nothing in the table above
-   has a published baseline. If standard-benchmark numbers for the FP8 model are published
-   later, the "published by Xiaomi" column is where they go — **it is deliberately empty
-   rather than filled with guesses.**
-2. **What the reference column actually is.** The unquantized model as
-   **`xiaomi/mimo-v2.6-flash` on OpenRouter**, run **2026-09-22**. OpenRouter lists exactly
-   **one provider** for it — **Xiaomi**, endpoint quantization **fp8** — so there was no routing
-   variance and no third-party system prompt; every stored response carries
-   `"provider": "Xiaomi"`. **The thinking flags were honoured exactly**, which was checked on all
-   1,606 responses rather than assumed: the 1,542 thinking-off requests
-   (`reasoning: {"enabled": false}` plus `chat_template_kwargs: {"enable_thinking": false}`) all
-   returned `completion_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens == 0`, an empty `reasoning` field and no
-   `<think>` tag in `content`; the 64 thinking-on GPQA requests all returned reasoning text, at a
-   volume closely matching the local side (mean 12,578 chars reference vs 12,668 quant).
-   **No reference-side failures:** 0 API errors, 0 empty responses on the thinking-off tasks, no
-   `finish_reason` other than `stop`/`length`. One honest asymmetry: OpenRouter does not list
-   `seed` among this endpoint's supported parameters, so the harness's seed is probably ignored
-   upstream — at `temperature 0.0 / top_p 1.0` that should not matter, but the reference side is
-   "greedy as the provider implements it", not "greedy with seed 1234". **Total spend $0.2206**
-   for all 1,606 requests (654,552 generated + 266,199 prompt tokens), confirmed against
-   OpenRouter's `/api/v1/auth/key` usage field.
-3. **Greedy is a deliberate deviation** from the base model card's recommended
-   `temperature 1.0 / top_p 0.95`. One sample at temperature 1.0 has enough variance to
-   swamp a quantization delta. The absolute scores here are therefore *not* the model's
-   best-effort scores.
-4. **GPQA's 46.9% is a budget artefact.** 29 of 64 runs (45.3%) hit the 8,192-token thinking
-   cap, and every one scored zero because the model was still inside `<think>` and never
-   emitted an answer line. Mean generation 4,418 tokens, median 3,018 — bimodal: settle in
-   ~3K or run away past 8K. The honest bracket is **46.9%–85.7%**, depending on how much
-   budget you pay for. A real GPQA number needs a 32K budget, which at ~43 tok/s batch 1 is
-   ~21 h for 100 items. **The reference model hits the same wall** — 24 of the same 64 items
-   (37.5%), also scoring zero on every one, bracket 56.2%–90.0%. So the cap is a property of the
-   task-plus-budget, not of the quantization; the quant simply runs away past 8K more often
-   (45.3% vs 37.5%), and that gap is most of the headline −9.4 pp.
-5. **MMLU-Pro's 72.6% is likewise a floor.** All 10 unparseable answers are pure truncation
-   at the 1536-token cap (11 items = 2.2% hit it, none scored). The reference has the same
-   shape (14 items = 2.8% capped, floor 76.4% / ceiling 78.8%), so the caps do **not** explain
-   the gap: the two floor-to-ceiling bands, 72.6–74.8% and 76.4–78.8%, do not overlap.
-   **−3.8 pp on MMLU-Pro is the one delta that survives every caveat.**
-
-**Stability, which the deltas do not show:** across **1,606 local generations / 574,407
-generated tokens** (and 1,606 reference generations / 654,552 tokens) there were **0 API errors
-on either side, 0 non-finite artefacts on either side, 0 empty code solutions on either side**,
-and exactly **one** pathological response in the whole local suite (a GSM8K item that returned an
-immediate EOS at zero tokens; the reference answered that item normally). Nothing traced to the
-layer-47 fp16 overflow. A 2.36 bpw quant that was actually broken would not look like this — and
-now there is a same-harness reference column saying how much it gave up.
-
-Full method, prompts, seeds, per-task throughput and every failure signal:
-[`eval/bench/METHOD.md`](eval/bench/METHOD.md) and
-[`eval/bench/RESULTS.md`](eval/bench/RESULTS.md).
-
-### Reproducing both sides
-
-The harness lives in the [exllamav3 branch's](https://github.com/benthecarman/exllamav3/tree/mimo-v2.6-flash)
-project notes; both sides differ only in `--base-url`, `--api-key-env` and `--model`:
+Perplexity (wikitext-2 test, 64 x 2048): **5.4003**.
 
-```sh
-# local side, against a TabbyAPI server holding this quant
-python run_bench.py --task gsm8k --n 500 --seed 1234 \
-    --base-url http://127.0.0.1:30001/v1 --model mimo-2.25bpw-hq \
-    --concurrency 2 --out raw/local-gsm8k.jsonl
-python score_bench.py raw/local-gsm8k.jsonl
-
-# reference side: the unquantized model, same items, same prompts, same caps
-export OPENROUTER_API_KEY=...       # model id: xiaomi/mimo-v2.6-flash
-./run_reference.sh                  # measured $0.22 at $0.14/M prompt, $0.28/M completion
-```
-
-`--only-ids-from <the local jsonl>` restricts the reference to exactly the item ids the
-local side generated, so the two columns are always over the same items.
-
----
+Benchmarks compare this quant against the unquantized FP8 model (Xiaomi's endpoint via
+OpenRouter) with the same harness, items, prompts and greedy sampling.
+They are only comparable to each other, not to other published scores.

-**The 4 bpw drafter now in `dflash/` is faster than the BF16 one on every prompt measured.**
-Same harness for both: greedy, 512 generated tokens, dynamic draft window, median of 3 runs:
+DGX Spark, batch 1, greedy, 512 generated tokens, median of 3 runs:
 
-| prompt | no draft | BF16 drafter | **4 bpw drafter** |
+| prompt | no drafter | 4 bpw drafter | speedup |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| coding    | 31.4 | 34.8 | **48.5** |
-| prose     | 31.4 | 34.4 | **40.2** |
-| reasoning | 31.4 | 52.7 | **59.5** |
-
-Every draft step reads the drafter's weights once, so a quarter of the bytes makes drafting
-much cheaper. Drafted tokens are always verified by the target model, so the drafter's
-precision changes how many drafts are accepted, never what is generated.
-
-The rest of this section was measured earlier with the BF16 drafter, on a different harness.
-
-512-token generations, one configuration per process. Static 7-token draft window:
-
-| prompt | no draft | DFlash | speedup | acceptance | accepted/step |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| coding    | 28.16 | **44.41** | **1.58x** | **74.06%** | 6.18 |
-| reasoning | 31.29 | **53.18** | **1.70x** | **60.35%** | 5.22 |
-| prose     | 31.11 | 20.72 | **0.67x** | 12.43% | 1.87 |
-
-Prose is a real **slowdown** with a static window: 1,673 draft tokens spent to win 208, and
-every rejected block still costs a target forward pass.
-
-`dynamic_draft` shrinks the window from observed acceptance and is the **recommended serving
-default**:
-
-| prompt | no draft | static | **dynamic** | dynamic speedup | acceptance static → dynamic |
-|---|---|---|---|---|---|
-| coding    | 28.16 | 44.41 | 38.90 | 1.38x | 74.06% → 81.07% |
-| reasoning | 31.29 | 53.18 | **55.66** | **1.78x** | 60.35% → 67.54% |
-| prose     | 31.11 | 20.72 | **27.19** | **0.87x** | 12.43% → 50.41% |
-
-Dynamic trades ~12% of the coding peak for a far better worst case (0.67x → 0.87x) and a
-better mean (1.35x vs 1.31x). For peak coding throughput, turn it off; for a pure prose
-workload, drop the drafter entirely.
-
-Across the whole 3.77 h benchmark suite above, the server sustained **~42 generated tok/s**
-batch 1 with dynamic drafting — i.e. ~1.35x over the 31.5 tok/s no-draft figure, on a real
-mixed workload.
-
-**n-gram drafting never helps** here (0.87–0.98x at 1.8–24.7% acceptance): this model does
-not repeat itself enough.
+| coding | 31.4 tok/s | 48.5 tok/s | 1.54x |

-### Memory
+The target model verifies every drafted token, so the drafter does not affect output quality.
 
-| | GiB |
-|---|---|
-| MemTotal (GB10) | 121.63 |
-| **peak in use, 32K context** | **95.06** |
-| minimum MemAvailable seen | 26.57 |
-| torch peak allocated | 86.98 |
-| steady state while serving at 64K + drafter | MemAvailable **21.2** |
-
-KV cost, derived from `config.json`: **27.00 KiB/token** of paged cache (9 global-attention
-layers) **plus a fixed 175.5 MiB ring per slot** (768-token ring x 39 sliding-window layers).
-With 86.20 GiB of weights and a 10 GiB reserve, the KV budget is 25.43 GiB:
-
-| | max context, 1 slot | 4 slots |
-|---|---|---|
-| ring, FP16 KV | **980,736 tok** | 240,128 |
-| ring, Q8 paged KV (global layers only) | 1,048,576 (model max) | 480,256 |
-| full (non-ring) KV, for comparison | 102,144 | 25,344 |
-
-64K context at 1 slot costs 1.86 GiB; 32K costs 1.02 GiB. Quantized paged KV (k=v=8) loads
-and generates coherently on top of the previous 2.36 bpw weights, but its quality is untested — the
-default stays FP16. The 39 sliding-window rings are always FP16.
-
-Those are the arithmetic limits. What was actually served, loaded and measured — up to
-**350,091 tokens** — is in [Long context](#long-context) below; the cache is **preallocated in
-full at load**, so `max_seq_len` is a memory decision, not a ceiling you pay for on demand.
-
-#### A unified-memory hazard worth knowing about
-
-On GB10 there is **no separate VRAM**: host and GPU share one pool. exllamav3's shard loader
-uses buffered `pread`, not `mmap`, so loading 86.1 GiB leaves **86.1 GiB of clean page cache**
-competing with the 86.1 GiB of weights in the same 121.6 GiB pool — and
-`torch.cuda.mem_get_info()` reports MemFree, not MemAvailable, so nothing in-process can see
-it. Unified memory does not produce an OOM kill; it starves the machine, and recovery is a
-physical power cycle. Two mitigations are in the exllamav3 branch (upstream PR #398) and are
-why the numbers above are flat rather than degrading:
-
-* `Model.load_gen()` drops the shard page cache at the end of every load
-  (`EXL3_KEEP_PAGE_CACHE=1` disables); measured **0.00 GiB of 86.08 GiB resident** while serving.
-* `EXL3_LOAD_DEVICE=cuda:0` takes a single-device load path that does no MemFree-based budget
-  arithmetic. Without it, autosplit can refuse a model that actually fits.

-## Long context
-
-Measured on the DGX Spark, batch 1, greedy, thinking off, FP16 KV, needles and haystacks built
-from wikitext-2 paragraphs. **Every retrieval test passed.**
-
-### Retrieval
-
-A six-digit passcode is hidden in a wikitext haystack at 10 / 50 / 90% depth and asked for at
-the end. Exact match on the digits, fresh city and fresh code per request.
+Long context with the BF16 drafter, generating ~400 tokens of code against a large
+repository prompt:
 
-| prompt tokens | 10% | 50% | 90% |
+| prompt tokens | no drafter | drafter | speedup |
 |---|---|---|---|
-| ~8.2K | OK | OK | OK |
-| ~32.8K | OK | OK | OK |
-| ~65.5K | OK | OK | OK |
-| ~131.1K | OK | OK | OK |
-| ~200.1K | OK | OK | OK |
-| ~250.0K | OK | OK | OK |
-| **350,091** | **OK** | — | — |
-
-**18/18** at `max_seq_len 262144`, plus **350,091 tokens** answered correctly in a 393,216
-window — the largest prompt this quant has been given. Nine more cells at `max_seq_len 131072`
-with the drafter on also passed, and **five more at `max_seq_len 393216` with the drafter
-attached** (131K at 10/50/90% depth, 250K at 50% and 90%, all exact), so retrieval is
-unaffected by speculative decoding or by the window size.
-
-That matters more than it looks: **39 of 48 layers are sliding-window with a 128-token
-window** and run on a fixed 768-token ring, so a needle 25,000 tokens into a 250K prompt has
-to survive ~195 ring rebases and reach the question through the 9 global-attention layers
-alone. The ring had previously only been validated to 2,048 tokens.
-
-**Five needles at once, 128K prompt** — all five returned, in order of appearance:
-
-```
-Montevideo: 604403
-Bratislava: 991476
-Kathmandu: 472495
-Ulaanbaatar: 379397
-Ljubljana: 361254
-```
-
-**A real long document, ~100K tokens** — complete wikitext articles concatenated with *Plain
-maskray* buried in the middle, three questions answerable only from that article:
-
-```
-(a) 2008
-(b) ~54 Ma
-(c) 12 and 62 m
-```
+| 64,614 | 25.1 tok/s | 43.8 tok/s | 1.75x |
+| 130,118 | 21.1 tok/s | 41.4 tok/s | 1.97x |
+| 248,993 | 16.1 tok/s | 33.6 tok/s | 2.08x |
 
-All three correct against the source ("In 2008, Last and William White elevated the kuhlii
-group…", "estimated to have occurred ~ 54 Ma", "recorded from between 12 and 62 m"), including
-the source's own "~" hedge.
+Decode holds up at long context because 39 of the 48 layers use a 128-token sliding window.
+Prefill does not: a 250K-token prompt takes about 13 minutes on one GB10.
 
-### Speed and memory vs prompt length
-
-No drafter, 128 generated tokens, `max_seq_len 262144` (last row 393,216):
-
-| prompt | TTFT | prefill | decode | min MemAvailable |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| ~8.2K | 9.1–10.6 s | 768–905 tok/s | 31.0 tok/s | 19.85 GiB |
-| ~32.8K | 41.2–42.0 s | 780–799 tok/s | 28.4 tok/s | 19.56 GiB |
-| ~65.5K | 100.1–100.5 s | 652–654 tok/s | 25.3 tok/s | 19.10 GiB |
-| ~131.1K | 270.0–271.5 s | 483–486 tok/s | 21.7 tok/s | 18.98 GiB |
-| ~200.1K | 524.8–525.9 s | 380–381 tok/s | 18.3 tok/s | 18.85 GiB |
-| ~250.0K | 757.6–758.8 s | 329–330 tok/s | 16.7 tok/s | 17.77 GiB |
-| **350,091** | **1,346.8 s** | **260 tok/s** | **13.8 tok/s** | **15.91 GiB** |
-
-**Decode falls only 2.3x from 8K to 250K** — the sliding-window ring again: only 9 of 48
-layers grow their KV with context. Prefill falls 2.7x and TTFT is quadratic, as full
-attention on those 9 layers requires. The curve fits
-
-```
-TTFT(seconds) ≈ 988·L + 8172·L²      (L = prompt tokens in millions)
-```
-
-to better than 1.5% from 64K to 350K — the 350K point was predicted at 1,347 s from a fit to
-the 128K and 250K points alone and came in at 1,346.8 s. Extrapolated: **400K ≈ 28 min,
-500K ≈ 42 min of prefill.** Long context on one GB10 is TTFT-bound, not memory-bound.
-
-With the DFlash drafter at `max_seq_len 131072`, on the same short-answer retrieval task
-(real generations, ~380 tokens, unforced): 36.3 / 29.8 / 27.0 tok/s at 2K / 65K / 130K, i.e.
-1.17–1.24x, live acceptance 38–85%. Those answers are three tokens long and factual, which is
-the worst case for a drafter.
-
-**On a real generation task the drafter is worth far more, and worth *more* the longer the
-context.** A repository-sized context (source files) and a task asking for a ~400-token
-implementation, `max_seq_len 262144`, batch 1, greedy, same prompts against a freshly loaded
-server:
-
-| prompt tokens | no drafter | **DFlash drafter** | **speedup** | acceptance |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| 64,614 | 25.08 tok/s | **43.77 tok/s** | **1.75x** | 64% |
-| 130,118 | 21.08 tok/s | **41.43 tok/s** | **1.97x** | 61% |
-| 248,993 | 16.14 tok/s | **33.63 tok/s** | **2.08x** | 58% |
-
-The speedup **grows** with context (1.75x → 2.08x) even though acceptance **falls** (64% →
-58%). Verifying a block of 8 drafted tokens is a single target forward, and at 250K that
-forward is dominated by reading the 9 global-attention layers' K/V — a cost paid once for the
-whole block instead of once per token. So at long context a lower acceptance rate still buys a
-larger speedup. **248,993 tokens of context, decoding at 33.6 tok/s.**
-
-### How much context fits
-
-The paged cache is **preallocated in full at load** — `cache_size` is paid up front whether or
-not anyone sends a long prompt. Cost per slot:
-
-```
-paged KV         27.00 KiB/token      (the 9 global-attention layers only)
-SWA ring        175.5 MiB per slot    (768-token ring x 39 layers, always FP16)
-draft KV         35.0 MiB per slot    (5 DFlash layers on a 1792-token window ring)
-drafter weights   2.81 GiB    (BF16; about 0.7 GiB with the 4 bpw drafter)
-```
-
-so **a slot costs 27.0 KiB/token with or without the drafter**, and the drafter's whole
-footprint is a flat 2.85 GiB at any context length (BF16 drafter; the 4 bpw one saves about
-2.1 GiB more, so the MemAvailable figures in this section are conservative). That is new: the drafter used to size its
-K/V for the whole context at **20.00 KiB/token** — a 74% surcharge, 7.50 GiB at `max_seq_len`
-393216 — although all five of its layers are sliding-window with a 1024-token window and none
-of them ever looks further back. They now run on a fixed per-slot ring of window + block + two
-pages, so draft K/V is **35.0 MiB per slot at any context**: 2,560 MiB → 35.0 MiB at 131072,
-7,680 MiB → 35.0 MiB at 393216. Generations are token-identical either way.
-
-On this box the whole budget reduces to one line that held to within 0.1 GiB across every
-configuration:
-
-```
-MemAvailable after load ≈ 29.2 GiB − (paged KV + ring + drafter weights + draft KV)
-```
-
-(121.63 GiB total − 86.15 GiB of weights − ~6 GiB of runtime.)
-
-| `max_seq_len` | drafter | load | MemAvailable after load | min under load |
-|---|---|---|---|---|
-| **393,216** | **DFlash** | **23.3 s** | **16.09 GiB** | see below |
-| 262,144 | DFlash | 23.2 s | **19.57 GiB** | **16.70 GiB** @ 249K |
-| 262,144 | off | 21.3 s | 22.27 GiB | **19.59 GiB** @ 249K |
-| 393,216 | off | 21.3 s | 18.65 GiB | **15.91 GiB** @ 350K |
-| 131,072 | DFlash | 22.6 s | 20.17 GiB | **17.07 GiB** @ 130K |
-| 65,536 | DFlash | 22.7 s | 24.48 GiB | 22.21 GiB @ 65K |
-
-**Recommended: `max_seq_len 262144` with the drafter** — 19.57 GiB free after load and
-**16.70 GiB** through a 249K-token request. With the drafter's old full-length K/V cache that
-configuration had ~14.6 GiB after load and ~10 GiB under a full-length request, i.e. it did not
-fit at all; the window ring is what makes it fit.
-
-**`max_seq_len 393216` with the drafter also works** — 16.09 GiB after load, 13.45 GiB through
-a 348,970-token generation, retrieval 5/5 — but it is the edge of this box rather than a
-set-and-forget setting: over an hour of heavy serving MemAvailable drifted 16.09 → 13.0 GiB
-(TabbyAPI's host RSS grows several GiB under sustained load) and the longest requests bottomed
-at 12.66 GiB. Use it deliberately when a prompt needs it.
-
-* **524,288 does not fit at FP16.** Its 13.67 GiB of paged KV leaves ~15.3 GiB after load, and
-  the measured 2.7–4.5 GiB transient of a full-length request would land it at ~11–12.5 GiB —
-  at or through a 12 GiB safety floor. On unified memory that is not an OOM kill, it is a
-  frozen machine. A 500K prefill would also take ~42 minutes.
-* The drafter no longer costs anything per token, so **there is no longer a window-vs-drafting
-  trade-off** on this box. Turn it on.
-
-So on a 121 GiB box you get **both**: a 262,144-token window (393,216 at the edge) *and* the
-drafter, at 1.75–2.08x the decode rate on real generation. This repo's reference server runs
-262,144 with the drafter.
-
-### Recommended serving settings
-
-```yaml
-model:
-  max_seq_len: 262144       # with the drafter; the draft cache no longer scales with it.
-  cache_size: 262144        # 393216 also fits with the drafter, with less headroom
-  cache_mode: FP16
-  chunk_size: 2048
-  max_batch_size: 1         # every extra slot repeats the SWA ring, the paged span and a 35 MiB draft ring
-draft_model:
-  draft_mode: model
-  draft_model_name: mimo-dflash-draft
-  draft_cache_mode: FP16
-  dynamic_draft: true
-```
-
-### Caveats
-
-* **`max_seq_len` bounds the prompt, not prompt + generation.** A 131,092-token prompt against
-  `max_seq_len 131072` returns `400 Bad Request` / `Prompt length 131092 exceeds the …` before
-  a token is generated. Budget `max_seq_len ≥ prompt + max_tokens`, and remember the chat
-  template adds ~20 tokens.
-* **Every number here is `max_batch_size: 1`.** A second slot adds another 175.5 MiB ring, its
-  own paged span and its own draft cache; concurrency at 128K is not free.
-* Prefill is chunked at 2,048 tokens. Prefill rates for a prompt sharing a long prefix with the
-  previous request are inflated by page reuse (755 vs 473 tok/s at 130K here), so cold numbers
-  are the ones quoted above.
-* Q8 paged KV halves the 27 KiB/token term and would make ~786K arithmetically fit, but
-  quantized KV quality on top of ~2.3 bpw weights is untested and the prefill time would be
-  hours. The 39 sliding-window rings stay FP16 regardless.
-* Raw records: [`eval/longctx.json`](eval/longctx.json).

-### Environment knobs
-
-| variable | default | what it does |
-|---|---|---|
-| `EXL3_LOAD_DEVICE` | unset | set to `cuda:0` on GB10 / any unified-memory box: single-device load, no autosplit, no MemFree arithmetic. **Recommended here.** |
-| `EXL3_MIMO_FP32_MLP_LAYERS` | `none` | debugging only: layers to run with fp32 MoE intermediates. Not needed with this build. |
-| `EXL3_KEEP_PAGE_CACHE` | unset | keep shard page cache after load (don't, on unified memory) |
-
-You should see this at load:
-
-```
- -- EXL3_LOAD_DEVICE=cuda:0 (single-device load)
- -- Released 83.5 GiB of shard page cache
-```

-### The DFlash drafter
-
-`dflash-bf16/` is Xiaomi's shipped 5-layer DFlash drafter, **repaired**. The tensor file is
-byte-identical to the base repo's; the two small files next to it are not, and the
-differences are load-bearing:
-
-* **`config.json` is valid JSON here.** The upstream one ends `"use_cache": true,` with a
-  trailing comma and cannot be parsed at all.
-* **`tap_shift: 0`**, not exllamav3's legacy `+1`. MiMo's `extract_context_feature` uses
-  `hidden_states[i+1]` = the *output* of layer i = exllamav3 export index i. SGLang's
-  `dflash_utils.py::build_target_layer_ids` documents the same convention. Taps are
-  `[0, 11, 23, 35, 47]`, all of them global-attention layers, so the sliding-window ring is
-  not involved.
-* **`attention_sink_bias: true`**, **`attention_value_scale: 0.612`**,
-  **`bidirectional_block: true`** (from the checkpoint's `is_causal: false`), window
-  `(1024, 7)`, `partial_rotary_factor: 0.5` → 64 of 128 rotary dims.
-* **`mask_embedding.safetensors`** is the learned `[4096]` vector from the upstream
-  `mask_embedding.pt` pickle, rewritten so the loader can find it. In the quantized
-  `dflash/` it is stored inside `model.safetensors`.
-
-**Why the shipped `dflash/dflash.py` is stale and is not included here.** It never reads the
-sink biases, the value scale, the sliding window, `partial_rotary_factor`, or the mask
-embedding. The last one is decisive: `mask_token_id` is **151675**, which is past the end of
-the tokenizer, and the target's `embed_tokens[151675]` is an untrained pad row (L2 norm
-2e-5, against the shipped vector's 0.765). So the reference feeds the drafter **zeros** for
-all seven mask slots and it degenerates to one repeated token. It cannot be the code this
-checkpoint was trained or served with.
-
-Every one of those corrections was **cross-checked against SGLang main**, the engine
-Xiaomi's own README recommends, and matches: `models/dflash.py` passes
-`partial_rotary_factor` into `get_rope`, applies `attention_value_scale` as `v_scale`, loads
-per-head `attention_sink_bias`, and maps `sliding_attention` to the 1024 window;
-`speculative/dflash_worker_v2.py::_maybe_merge_trained_mask_embedding()` loads
-`mask_embedding.pt` and merges it into the target's embedding table. (This port applies the
-mask vector one layer earlier, inside the drafter's input layer, so it never mutates the
-target's weights — equivalent, since the target can never emit 151675.)
-
-Parity against a corrected HF reference, 7 drafted positions x 64 rounds: **99.78% argmax
-(100% including fp16 ties), KL 3.3e-5, cos 0.999992** at context 384; 98.66% / 100% at
-context 1536 (beyond the 1024 window). Every single disagreement is the reference's rank-1
-token at a top1–top2 margin ≤ 0.017, i.e. 1–2 fp16 ULP.
-
-`dflash/` is `dflash-bf16/` converted with exllamav3's `convert.py -b 4`. DFlash drafters
-quantize without calibration, so the conversion needs neither calibration data nor the
-target model. Its `config.json` is the repaired one plus `quantization_config`.
+On a DGX Spark or other unified-memory machine, start TabbyAPI with `EXL3_LOAD_DEVICE=cuda:0`.

-## Known issues
-
-* **Greedy output is not bit-stable across drafting modes.** On a prose prompt, no-draft /
-  DFlash / n-gram / dynamic produced 369 / 447 / 359 / 312 tokens. n-gram differs from
-  no-draft too, so this is not a DFlash bug — it is fp16 tie-break sensitivity (traced to a
-  single divergence at a top1–top2 margin of 0.0156 = two fp16 ULP, reproduced identically
-  with the ring disabled). Coding was token-identical across all four modes. Don't diff
-  outputs across drafting modes and expect equality.
-* **Weights and code must match.** Layer 47's `interm_div` is folded into the quantized weights.
-  This build on the old branch, or the old build on the current branch, runs without an error
-  and gives wrong output. See [Layer 47 and `interm_div`](#layer-47-and-interm_div).
-* **Instruction-following on code is imperfect.** A sample `merge_intervals` completion was a
-  correct, idiomatic, correctly-analysed algorithm with one real bug (it sorts the caller's
-  list in place and assumes list elements, so it raises on the tuples the prompt specified)
-  and it skipped the three asserts the prompt asked for. Consistent with a strong-but-not-
-  perfect ~2.3 bpw quant — and the benchmark deltas above say the FP8 model is only ~0.6 pp
-  better at HumanEval+, so most of that is the base model, not the quantization.
-* **Tensor parallel is unsupported.** The port has only been built and run single-device.
-* **Long context is now measured, and it is TTFT-bound rather than memory-bound.** 8K → 350K
-  has been served and retrieval is perfect at every length and depth tested, but a 250K prompt
-  costs ~12.6 minutes of prefill and a 350K prompt ~22.4 minutes on one GB10. `max_seq_len`
-  above 393,216 (or above 131,072 with the drafter) does not fit at FP16 KV. See
-  [Long context](#long-context).
-* **Batch > 1 with DFlash is untested.** Everything above is `max_batch_size: 1`.
-* **No vision, no audio, no MTP.** The MTP heads in the source repo are not ported, so
-  MTP-based drafting is unavailable; DFlash is the drafting path.
-* The source repo's own `preprocessor_config.json` is not included, since there is no
-  vision/audio tower to preprocess for.
