-# Prefill-Decode (PD) Disaggregation
-
-PD disaggregation splits the Qwen3-Omni thinker into separate prefill and decode
-stages so prompt processing and token generation can run on different workers.
-
-This is documented as a stage-config recipe instead of a bundled YAML because the
-deployment-specific values usually change per environment:
-
- GPU placement
- `tensor_parallel_size`
- connector backend and connector ports
- connector IPs or bootstrap addresses
-
-Start from the [default Qwen3-Omni stage config](gh-file:vllm_omni/deploy/qwen3_omni_moe.yaml)
-and copy it to your own file, for example `qwen3_omni_pd.yaml`. Then apply the
-changes below.
-
-## Requirements
-
- 3+ GPUs for a basic layout: prefill, decode, and talker+code2wav
- A KV connector supported by vLLM, such as `MooncakeConnector`
- Matching `tensor_parallel_size` on the prefill and decode thinker stages
-
-## 1. Split the thinker into prefill and decode stages
-
-Replace the original thinker stage with two stages:
-
-```yaml

-      distributed_executor_backend: "mp"
-      enable_prefix_caching: false
-      max_num_batched_tokens: 32768

-      detokenize: True
-      repetition_penalty: 1.05
-```
-
-Notes:
-
- `is_prefill_only: true` marks the thinker stage that only saves KV.
- `is_decode_only: true` marks the thinker stage that resumes from remote KV.
- `kv_transfer_config` is required on both stages.
- The orchestrator forces the prefill stage to run with `max_tokens=1`, so the
-  prefill side only processes the prompt and exports KV.
-
-## 2. Shift the downstream stages by one index
-
-After inserting the extra thinker stage, renumber the remaining stages:
-
-```yaml
-  - stage_id: 2
-    runtime:
-      devices: "2"
-    engine_input_source: [1]
-    sync_process_input_func: vllm_omni.model_executor.stage_input_processors.qwen3_omni.thinker2talker_token_only
-
-  - stage_id: 3
-    runtime:
-      devices: "2"
-    engine_args:
-      max_num_seqs: 1
-    engine_input_source: [2]
-    sync_process_input_func: vllm_omni.model_executor.stage_input_processors.qwen3_omni.talker2code2wav_token_only
-```
-
-Compared with the default Qwen3-Omni config:
-
- the talker becomes stage `2` instead of stage `1`
- the code2wav stage becomes stage `3` instead of stage `2`
- the talker now reads from decode stage `1`
-
-## 3. Add runtime edges for the four-stage pipeline
-
-```yaml
-runtime:
-  enabled: true
-  edges:
-    - from: 0
-      to: 1
-    - from: 1
-      to: 2
-    - from: 2
-      to: 3
-```
-
-## 4. Launch with your custom config
-
-```bash
-vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct --omni --port 8091 \
-    --deploy-config /path/to/qwen3_omni_pd.yaml
-```
-
-## Operational Notes
-
- `MooncakeConnector` does not support heterogeneous TP sizes across the PD
-  pair. Keep prefill and decode at the same `tensor_parallel_size`.
- If the thinker requires TP=2, both thinker stages must use TP=2 and be given
-  separate GPU sets, for example `"0,1"` for prefill and `"2,3"` for decode.
- Choose connector ports and addresses that match your deployment. The values
-  shown above are examples only.

 ##### Parametrization and markers

 - Each test module defines a **`RELIABILITY_SCENARIOS`** list (`test_name`, `server_params`: model, `stage_config_name` or diffusion `server_args`, etc.). **`create_reliability_omni_server_params()`** in `tests/dfx/conftest.py` resolves stage paths (including XPU substitutions where applicable) and builds **`OmniServerParams`** lists consumed by **`@pytest.mark.parametrize(..., indirect=True)`** on `omni_server` or `omni_server_function`.
- Cases are tagged **`@pytest.mark.slow`** for weekly / selective CI. GPU-heavy suites use **`@hardware_test(res={"cuda": "H100"}, num_cards=...)`** or **`@hardware_test(res={"cuda": "L4"}, num_cards=1)`** (Qwen3-Omni **2**× H100; Wan2.2 **1**× H100; HunyuanImage DiT **4**× H100; VoxCPM2 **1**× L4).

 ## Status

 DLO is implemented for multi-device diffusion execution. The default
 AllGather path is the primary path for DP and SP deployments. The
-`--dlo-no-use-allgather` path is a rank-local compatibility mode: it is useful

-additional DLO collective is undesirable, but it does not reduce host weight
-storage across ranks.
+`--dlo-no-use-allgather` path streams complete blocks independently and adds no
+DLO weight collective.

+Host storage is selected separately from the transfer protocol. The loader can
+produce a direct-checkpoint mmap plan for a proven-compatible runtime layout;
+otherwise it uses the ordinary loader. Consequently, no-AllGather replicas on
+the same node can share immutable checkpoint pages when direct mmap is
+selected, while the ordinary-loader fallback still keeps a private runtime
+copy per process.
+
+The Phase A shared-mmap support boundary is TP1. TP greater than one is an
+ordinary-loader compatibility path: DLO can consume the resulting TP-local
+tensors, but those configurations do not use checkpoint mmap and must not be
+used to claim shared-mmap host-memory savings.

+### The loader owns host-weight planning
+
+Before it decides whether ordinary weight materialization can be skipped, the
+diffusion loader builds one `HostWeightPlan`. A direct-checkpoint mmap plan is
+accepted only when preflight proves all of the following:
+
+- every required DiT parameter and persistent buffer has exactly one source;
+- runtime names, checkpoint keys, shapes, and dtypes match;
+- the runtime topology is TP1 without HSDP or online quantization; and
+- every custom loader operation is represented by a loader-owned checkpoint
+  adapter.

+The exact plan object is handed to DLO. The backend does not rescan checkpoint
+files, repeat the capability decision, or reconstruct names from its block
+topology. If preflight fails, the loader materializes weights normally and DLO
+consumes those runtime tensors.
+
+The plan owns only dedicated DiT component sources. If a pipeline also exposes
+ordinary sources for a text encoder or another non-DiT component, the loader
+still consumes those sources and includes their loaded names in its strict

+materialization. A source that mixes DiT and non-DiT weights fails closed to

+DP=2, TP=1, no DLO AllGather, BF16 weights, two denoising steps, and a
+256x256 four-second request. The ordinary-loader workers were sampled after
+initialization. The mmap workers were sampled after one completed request, so
+the checkpoint working set had been faulted into the page cache; this is the
+more conservative point for mmap.
+
+The values below come from `/proc/<worker>/smaps_rollup` and include the whole
+worker, not only the DiT. The stable rank-to-rank difference comes from other
+pipeline components, so each worker should be compared with the same worker in

+| DP worker 0 | 168.27 GiB | 132.76 GiB | 167.84 GiB | 101.43 GiB | 66.40 GiB |

+| **Two-worker total** | — | — | **283.56 GiB** | **150.08 GiB** | **133.48 GiB (47.1%)** |
+
+The direct-mmap workers each reported 62.45 GiB `Shared_Clean` but only
+31.20 GiB `Pss_File`, which is the proportional charge expected when the same
+resident checkpoint pages are mapped by two workers. `Private_Dirty` also fell
+from 167.53 to 70.24 GiB for worker 0 and from 115.40 to 17.44 GiB for worker

+
+> **Status:** experimental. This document describes the internal execution
+> contract implemented under `vllm_omni.experimental.ar_diffusion`. It does not
+> define a public HTTP or WebSocket schema.
+
+## Scope
+
+Realtime AR-Diffusion serves world models that generate one autoregressive
+latent block per request while retaining model state across requests. The
+generic runtime owns identity, event ordering, session lifecycle, routing, and
+KV allocation. A model adapter owns model-specific controls and conditioning.
+
+LingBot World v2 is the first single-KV-branch integration. DreamZero uses the
+same runner capability with two logical CFG branches.
+
+## Identities
+
+Four identifiers have distinct lifetimes:
+
+| Identifier | Lifetime | Owner | Contract |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `session_id` | One persistent world | Session manager | Selects runner KV and model-owned state. |
+| `event_id` | One control/prompt update | Transport adapter | Unique and monotonically increasing within a session, including across reset. |
+| `chunk_index` | One committed AR block position | Session | Contiguous from zero; reset starts again at zero. |
+| `request_id` | One chunk execution | Session | Correlates the tick with its returned metadata. |
+
+`AsyncOmni` keeps its normal UUID-suffixed engine routing ID. The tick
+`request_id` remains inside the immutable AR-Diffusion snapshot and the
+standard output metadata, while caller-visible `OmniRequestOutput.request_id`
+continues to use AsyncOmni's existing external-ID contract. Protocol identity
+therefore does not require a private entrypoint override.
+
+## Request lifecycle
+
+1. `ARDiffusionSession.accept_event()` validates and queues an immutable
+   `ARDiffusionSessionEvent`. Prompt and opaque control tracks may be updated in
+   the same event.
+2. `ARDiffusionSession.next_chunk()` serializes chunk execution and calls
+   `_build_tick_locked()`. The resulting `ARDiffusionTickRequest` is a snapshot
+   of the current prompt, reduced controls, ordered event IDs, and chunk index.
+3. `ARDiffusionOmniTickConsumer.execute_tick()` copies the stage sampling
+   parameters, stores the typed tick in
+   `sampling_params.extra_args["ar_diffusion_tick"]`, constructs the normal Omni
+   prompt through its `prompt_provider`, and invokes `AsyncOmni.generate()`.
+4. `AsyncOmni` allocates its normal unique engine routing ID and submits one
+   `OmniDiffusionRequest` through the orchestrator.
+5. `ARDiffusionModelRunner._request_session()` parses the typed tick.
+   `_get_or_create_session()` obtains runner-owned paged KV, and
+   `bind_ar_diffusion_state()` exposes it to the pipeline only for the duration
+   of `execute_model()`.
+6. The model pipeline validates the tick and generates exactly one latent
+   block. LingBot interprets camera controls in
+   `LingBotCameraControlReducer` and
+   `LingBotWorldCausalDMDPipeline.forward()`; the generic runtime does not parse
+   camera or action schemas.
+7. The pipeline returns one `DiffusionOutput` with the generated payload and an
+   `ARDiffusionChunkMetadata` mapping under `metadata["ar_diffusion"]`.
+   `AsyncOmni` exposes it as
+   `OmniRequestOutput.multimodal_output["metadata"]["ar_diffusion"]`.
+8. The consumer parses the standard envelope. The session commits its reducer
+   state, prompt, controls, event IDs, and next chunk index only when returned
+   metadata exactly equals the submitted tick snapshot.
+
+The metadata envelope is:
+
+```json
+{
+  "metadata": {
+    "ar_diffusion": {
+      "session_id": "world-7",
+      "request_id": "ar-world-7-3-...",
+      "chunk_index": 3,
+      "applied_event_ids": [10, 11]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Transaction and failure semantics
+
+Accepted events are not acknowledged as applied until the model output and
+metadata are validated. Reducer `prepare()` is speculative; reducer `commit()`
+and the session snapshot form one logical commit. A model, metadata, or reducer
+failure leaves the chunk index and queued events uncommitted and transitions the
+session to `FAILED`.
+
+After a tick failure, worker state is closed because a forward may have
+partially modified or already released KV. The same chunk is not retried in
+place. A caller must explicitly reset the session, starting again at chunk
+zero, or close it.
+
+Explicit close follows this state machine:
+
+```text
+ACTIVE or FAILED
+       |
+       v
+    CLOSING ---- worker cleanup succeeds ----> CLOSED
+       |
+       +------- worker cleanup fails --------> CLEANUP_FAILED
+                                                   |
+                                                   +-- close retry --> CLOSING
+```
+
+`CLEANUP_FAILED` is a local tombstone. The session manager retains it, rejects
+creation of the same `session_id`, and rejects reset. Only an idempotent close
+retry that succeeds removes the session. Transport disconnect uses the same
+path.
+
+## KV ownership and capacity
+
+`ARDiffusionKVCacheSpec` is the pipeline-owned immutable geometry contract. It
+declares:
+
+- TP-local self-attention geometry, AR block size, sink, and recent window;
+- logical KV branches and their worker-local slots;
+- fixed-length cross-attention caches;
+- scratch tokens required by an uncommitted forward;
+- persistent model-owned CUDA bytes per resident session; and
+- the requested resident-session capacity.
+
+The runner computes:
+
+```text
+required(capacity) =
+    scratch
+  + managed_self_attention_pages(capacity)
+  + capacity * cross_attention_bytes_per_session
+  + capacity * model_owned_state_bytes_per_session
+```
+
+`gpu_memory_fraction` is a soft expansion budget:
+
+```text
+configured_budget = available_device_bytes * gpu_memory_fraction
+effective_budget = max(configured_budget, required(1))
+```
+
+If `required(1)` exceeds actual available device memory, initialization fails.
+Otherwise the runner always admits one viable session and uses the configured
+fraction to select additional resident sessions up to the model-declared cap.
+All model-owned reservations are deducted before the paged self-attention pool
+is allocated.
+
+LingBot reports its persistent full-horizon image-condition tensor. DreamZero
+reports the measured 603 MiB per-session Wan VAE causal-convolution state.
+
+## Concurrency and routing limits
+
+The current runner executes one request at a time:
+
+- `max_num_seqs` must be one;
+- request batching and diffusion step execution are rejected;
+- one AR block is generated per engine request; and
+- an AR-Diffusion stage must have exactly one replica.
+
+The single-replica restriction is intentional. Multi-replica support requires
+session-affine routing so every tick, reset, and close reaches the worker that
+owns the session. Random or round-robin routing is not correct.
+
+Multiple resident sessions may share one runner. Capacity selection accounts
+for all persistent pools, and the runner performs LRU eviction through the same
+model lifecycle hook used by explicit close.
+
+## Model boundary
+
+The generic runtime transports controls as opaque
+`ARDiffusionControlInput(track, schema, data)` values. Model adapters validate
+and reduce those values. This keeps target/velocity, key state, pose,
+intrinsics, and other model-specific conventions out of the session protocol.
+
+For LingBot World v2:
+
+- `lingbot_world/actions.py` parses key-state and trajectory controls;
+- `lingbot_world/camera.py` loads or constructs camera trajectories and Plücker embeddings;
+- `lingbot_world/transformer.py` implements checkpoint-compatible causal attention; and
+- `lingbot_world/pipeline.py` constructs conditioning, owns small non-KV session state, and
+  produces one block plus the standard metadata envelope.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+This contract does not currently provide:
+
+- a public HTTP or WebSocket request schema (the structured-interaction
+  frontend is tracked separately in
+  [#5527](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/5527));
+- camera/action semantics shared by every world model;
+- session migration or replication across workers;
+- retry of an ambiguous partially executed chunk;
+- cross-stage KV transfer; or
+- stateful streaming VAE decode.
+
+Those features can be layered on top without adding LingBot-specific identity
+or lifecycle fields to the generic runtime.
+
+## Required regression coverage
+
+CPU contract tests cover:
+
+- separation of tick correlation IDs from internal engine routing IDs;
+- event ordering, metadata equality, and reducer fail-closed commit;
+- close/disconnect failure tombstones and cleanup retry;
+- capacity one under the default fraction for shipped LingBot geometry;
+- capacity expansion under a tuned fraction;
+- DreamZero model-owned state accounting;
+- runner session reuse, reset, close, LRU eviction, and forward cleanup; and
+- LingBot model registration, imports, camera/action reduction, and one-block
+  output metadata.
+
+GPU validation must additionally exercise real model loading, action input,
+prompt switching, rolling-window replacement, reset, close, finite output
+latents, and exact metadata/request identity.

+## Current structured-stage reuse behavior
+
+The current RFC #4021 implementation uses upstream vLLM config classes as the
+schema source for AR and generation stages:
+
+- `OmniStageLoadConfig` inherits `vllm.config.LoadConfig`.
+- `OmniStageCacheConfig` inherits `vllm.config.CacheConfig`.
+- `OmniStageSchedulerConfig` inherits `vllm.config.SchedulerConfig`.
+- `OmniStageParallelConfig` inherits `vllm.config.ParallelConfig`.
+
+This inheritance preserves the existing load, cache, scheduler, and parallel
+concern boundaries while reducing duplicate downstream declarations. It does
+not, by itself, make every inherited field an effective vLLM-Omni runtime
+option. Construction and runtime consumption are separate surfaces:
+
+| Surface | Current behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| Structured schema | Upstream dataclass fields are inherited. Their defaults, default factories, and applicable Pydantic validation can participate when the structured object is constructed. |
+| Omni input ownership | Pipeline/deploy/CLI construction continues to accept only fields with an existing structured owner. Direct construction of an inherited sub-config can expose a wider upstream schema. |
+| Engine projection | For AR and generation stages, reusable fields are discovered by intersecting each upstream config dataclass with upstream `EngineArgs`. Only constructor-explicit values are emitted; inherited defaults remain deferred to terminal materialization. |
+| Terminal materialization | The engine-owning process constructs the final upstream `VllmConfig` and performs model-, platform-, rank-, port-, and backend-dependent initialization. |
+
+The generated projection maps include known upstream naming differences such
+as `cache_dtype` to `kv_cache_dtype`, `policy` to `scheduling_policy`, and
+`data_parallel_master_ip` to `data_parallel_address`. A field added to both an
+upstream concern config and `EngineArgs` therefore enters the AR/generation
+projection without requiring a second downstream allowlist. Explicit inherited
+fields that have no projection raise an error rather than being silently
+dropped.
+
+Ownership exclusions remain deliberate. Stage topology owns `scheduler_cls`,
+cache owns `disable_hybrid_kv_cache_manager`, and Omni runtime owns
+`distributed_executor_backend` and `worker_cls`; vLLM's private API-process
+fields are terminal internals. These exclusions prevent one input from being
+constructed or projected through two config concerns. Effective-engine-argument
+tests cover both the dynamic mapping and this exclusion boundary.
+
+`CompilationConfig` and `ProfilerConfig` are direct structured-stage fields:
+`stage.compilation_config` and `stage.profiler_config`. They accept mapping/YAML
+inputs and complete upstream value objects. Mapping inputs are validated and
+materialized as their concrete upstream types when the structured config is
+constructed, so downstream consumers see one resolved representation.
+Prebuilt upstream objects retain their type across the structured projection
+boundary.
+
+Quantization remains on its existing Omni-owned transport contract. This
+reuse step does not adopt upstream `QuantizationConfigArgs`, because the
+current engine-specific quantization split needs to be resolved separately.
+
+Diffusion keeps its existing engine-field ownership and projection surface.
+Shared Python inheritance must not be treated as evidence that an LLM-only
+parallel input is effective for a diffusion stage.

+# Prefill-Decode (PD) Disaggregation (experimental)
+
+!!! warning "Experimental design reference"
+    PD disaggregation is only partially integrated on the current `main` branch.
+    The runtime contains PD detection and routing scaffolding, but there is no
+    supported deploy overlay or end-to-end validated launch recipe yet. Treat this
+    page as a description of the current design, not as production guidance.
+
+Prefill-decode disaggregation splits the Qwen3-Omni Thinker into two logical
+stages: a prefill worker that processes the prompt and produces KV cache, and a
+decode worker that imports that cache and generates tokens. The Talker and
+Code2Wav stages remain downstream; PD does not disaggregate the entire
+Qwen3-Omni pipeline.
+
+## Current design
+
+### Runtime topology

+    connector -->|"remote KV load"| decode
+    decode -->|"generated text"| client
+```
+
+The orchestrator owns the request lifecycle, while the vLLM KV connector owns
+the bulk KV transfer. The original prompt is submitted to both Thinker stages:
+the decode worker still needs the request tokens and multimodal features to
+construct its request, while the imported KV cache prevents it from repeating
+the completed prefill computation.
+
+For the full Qwen3-Omni pipeline, splitting the Thinker adds one logical stage:
+
+| Stage | Role | Output or handoff |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| 0 | Thinker prefill | Saves prompt KV and prompt-side multimodal output |
+| 1 | Thinker decode | Loads remote KV, generates text, and produces decode-side conditioning |
+| 2 | Talker | Converts combined Thinker conditioning into codec codes |
+| 3 | Code2Wav | Converts codec codes into audio |
+
+Text remains a final output of the decode stage, and audio remains a final
+output of Code2Wav.
+
+### Request lifecycle
+
+1. At startup, PD detection looks for one stage marked `is_prefill_only` and
+   one downstream stage marked `is_decode_only`. The decode stage must list the
+   prefill stage as an input source.
+2. The orchestrator clones the Thinker sampling parameters for prefill, forces
+   `max_tokens=1`, clears stop conditions, and sets producer-side
+   `kv_transfer_params`. This makes prefill finish by length after exporting KV.
+3. When prefill finishes, the orchestrator captures its KV routing metadata and
+   Qwen multimodal output under the original request ID.
+4. The orchestrator submits the original prompt to decode with consumer-side
+   `kv_transfer_params`. Those parameters identify the transfer, prefill engine,
+   bootstrap endpoint, and, when required by the connector, remote request.
+5. The decode engine imports the KV cache and continues generation. The normal
+   Omni stage path then carries Thinker conditioning through Talker and
+   Code2Wav.
+
+### Control and data paths
+
+PD uses two different connector layers. They solve different handoffs and are
+not interchangeable.
+
+| Path | Payload | Owner |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| PD control path | Request ID, original prompt, `transfer_id`, bootstrap address, engine ID, and connector-specific request metadata | Omni Orchestrator |
+| PD data path | Thinker attention KV blocks | vLLM KV connector |
+| Downstream model path | Thinker hidden states and embeddings, Talker codec codes, and audio tensors | vLLM-Omni stage connectors and processors |
+
+### Detection and validation
+
+The current runtime accepts one logical prefill/decode pair per pipeline. Each
+stage may use tensor parallelism, but both sides of the pair must satisfy these
+invariants:
+
+- both stages define `kv_transfer_config`
+- prefill uses `kv_producer` or `kv_both`
+- decode uses `kv_consumer` or `kv_both`
+- both stages use the same KV connector
+- `kv_buffer_device` and `kv_buffer_size` agree when set on both stages
+- both stages use the same `tensor_parallel_size`
+
+These checks happen before request processing so an inconsistent PD topology
+fails during engine initialization.
+
+## What is implemented today
+
+| Area | Current state |
+| --- | --- |
+| Pair detection and topology validation | Implemented in the shared PD helper |
+| Prefill sampling preparation | Implemented for sync and async entrypoints |
+| Prefill-to-decode routing | Implemented in the current Orchestrator |
+| Deploy-based configuration | Not yet migrated; the supported `stages:` deploy schema cannot currently expand Qwen3-Omni into the four-stage PD topology |
+| Qwen3 Thinker-to-Talker handoff | Bridge state and embedding-merge helpers exist, but the merge is not wired into the live stage processor |
+| Connector compatibility | Incomplete; the Orchestrator currently requires `remote_request_id`, while the pinned Mooncake connector completes prefill without returning that metadata |
+| Validation coverage | PD entrypoint tests and the PD deploy overlay in online end-to-end tests are temporarily disabled during migration |
+| Performance | No non-regression or throughput/latency result is established for the current path |
+
+Because these pieces are still converging, the previous legacy `stage_args` YAML
+and `vllm serve` command have been removed. The serve CLI now accepts the
+deploy-based `stages:` schema, so retaining the legacy recipe would imply a
+launch path that current `main` rejects.
+
+## Configuration contract under development
+
+The intended deploy integration starts from the
+[default Qwen3-Omni deploy config](gh-file:vllm_omni/deploy/qwen3_omni_moe.yaml)
+and expands its frozen three-stage pipeline into the four stages shown above.
+A complete integration must:
+
+- split the Thinker definition without duplicating the Talker or Code2Wav model
+  contracts
+- remap downstream stage IDs, input sources, and stage connectors
+- inject producer and consumer `kv_transfer_config` values into the two Thinker
+  stages
+- allocate separate device sets for prefill and decode
+- preserve both final outputs: decode text and Code2Wav audio
+- provide connector-specific routing metadata without hard-coding one connector
+  contract
+
+The required number of GPUs depends on tensor-parallel sizes and whether Talker
+and Code2Wav share a device. A basic TP=1 layout uses one device for prefill, one
+for decode, and one for the two downstream audio stages.

+component uninitialized.
+

 1. saves non-persistent buffers such as RoPE frequencies;
 2. moves the normally created transformer to the meta device;
 3. loads checkpoint tensors as mmap views backed by the shared OS page cache;

+Per-tensor online FP8 linears can be combined with DLO's default AllGather path:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve <your-model> \
+  --omni \
+  --quantization fp8 \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload

+
+Direct checkpoint mmap is not used for this combination. Each rank runs the
+ordinary loader to create the final FP8 weights and scales before DLO shards
+them, so startup temporarily materializes the complete FP8 model in host memory
+on every rank. Runtime DLO host residency is sharded normally. Use
+`--dlo-no-use-allgather` when the synchronized AllGather request-wave contract
+does not fit the workload.

+# π0 (Pi-Zero) VLA — OpenPI realtime serving
+
+[π0](https://www.physicalintelligence.company/blog/pi0) is a Vision-Language-Action
+model from Physical Intelligence: multi-camera images + a language instruction +
+robot proprioceptive state → a continuous action chunk via flow-matching denoising
+(it does **not** emit text tokens). This example serves π0 over the OpenPI realtime
+websocket protocol at `/v1/realtime/robot/openpi`.
+
+## Install extras
+
+The core `pip install -e .` does not include the OpenPI client used here:
+
+- `openpi-client` (from the [openpi](https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi)
+  repo: `pip install -e packages/openpi-client`), `websockets`, `msgpack`, `msgpack-numpy`
+
+## Weights
+
+π0 uses the LeRobot `lerobot/pi0_base` checkpoint (HF, ~13 GB). Either let the server
+download it (`MODEL=lerobot/pi0_base`) or point at a local copy
+(`MODEL=/path/to/pi0_base`).
+
+## Run the server
+
+```bash
+vllm serve lerobot/pi0_base --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name pi0 \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/pi0.yaml \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+The deploy config (`vllm_omni/deploy/pi0.yaml`) declares a single diffusion stage
+(`Pi0Pipeline`), float32, `max_num_seqs: 1`, and the `policy_server_config` handshake
+metadata (3 cameras, `joint_position`, action horizon 50, action dim 32).
+
+### Commonly adjusted `model_config` keys
+
+These live under `stages[0].model_config` in `vllm_omni/deploy/pi0.yaml`:
+
+| Key | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `chunk_size` | `50` | Action-chunk length (timesteps) the model predicts per inference. |
+| `num_inference_steps` | `10` | Flow-matching Euler denoising steps. |
+| `max_action_dim` | `32` | Action dimensionality (state/action are padded to this). |
+| `max_state_dim` | `32` | Proprioceptive-state dimensionality (zero-padded to this). |
+| `image_resolution` | `[224, 224]` | Per-camera input size (square; SigLIP). |
+| `tokenizer_max_length` | `48` | Max PaliGemma prompt tokens. |
+| `max_cameras` | `3` | Camera slots the model attends to (real + `-1`-padded). |
+| `image_feature_keys` | 3 `observation.images.*` keys | Camera order the model attends to. |
+| `image_key_map` | `{}` | Map raw obs camera keys → `image_feature_keys` (empty = verbatim). |
+
+The `policy_server_config` block below them is the OpenPI handshake metadata
+advertised to the client; keep its `action_horizon` / `action_dim` /
+`image_resolution` in sync with the `model_config` values above. The e2e test
+`tests/e2e/online_serving/test_pi0_expansion.py::test_pi0_openpi_online` connects to a
+live server and asserts the advertised metadata matches these `pi0.yaml` values.
+
+## Run the client
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/pi0/openpi_client.py --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 \
+    --prompt "pick up the red block and place it in the bin"
+```
+
+It connects, prints the server metadata, sends robot observations, and prints the
+returned `[action_horizon, action_dim] = [50, 32]` action chunks. Replace the blank
+cameras / zero state in `_make_dummy_obs` with real frames (HWC uint8) and
+proprioceptive state to drive a robot.
+
+### Observation format
+
+The client sends a flat dict per inference:
+
+```python
+{
+    "observation.images.base_0_rgb":       np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb": np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "observation.images.right_wrist_0_rgb":np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "state":   np.float32[state_dim],   # zero-padded to max_state_dim=32 server-side
+    "prompt":  "pick up the red block",
+    "session_id": "<uuid>",             # accepted but ignored (π0 is stateless)
+}
+```
+
+Camera keys must match the server's `image_feature_keys` (the checkpoint's
+`input_features` order). If your robot uses different camera names, set
+`model_config.image_key_map` in `pi0.yaml` to map raw obs keys → feature keys.
+
+## Correctness
+
+π0's flow-matching kernel is bit-for-bit matched to the LeRobot `PI0Policy` reference
+(`max|Δ| = 7.15e-07`, CPU/float32, fixed noise; see
+`tests/diffusion/models/pi0/test_pi0_parity.py::test_pi0_vllm_omni_vs_lerobot`) and is
+version-stable across transformers releases (the version-stability checks in
+`tests/diffusion/models/pi0/test_pi0_units.py`). An OpenPI websocket online-serving e2e
+lives in `tests/e2e/online_serving/test_pi0_expansion.py::test_pi0_openpi_online`.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- **Normalization stats**: `lerobot/pi0_base` uses identity normalization, which is
+  fully supported (state passes through, actions are returned in the model's space).
+  Per-dataset `norm_stats` declared in a checkpoint's `config.json` are honored, but
+  stats stored only in LeRobot's `policy_preprocessor.json` companion safetensors are
+  not yet loaded — a fine-tuned checkpoint that relies on those would need that bridge
+  added before its actions are in real-world units.

+# MiniMax Music 3
+
+> Text-to-music: lyrics plus a style caption in, a 32 kHz stereo song out
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: MiniMax
+- Model: `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3`
+- Task: Text-to-music generation (vocals and instrumental together)
+- Mode: Online serving through the OpenAI-compatible `/v1/audio/speech` API
+- Maintainer: @linyueqian
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use it to serve `MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3` for full-song generation up to six
+minutes. This is not a TTS model with a musical voice: there is no reference
+speaker, no `voice`, and no `temperature`. What you control is the lyrics, the
+caption, the seed, and the length.
+
+## References

+- Demo samples: [MiniMax Music 3 demo](https://minimax-ai.github.io/music3-demo/)
+- Deploy config: `vllm_omni/deploy/minimax_music3.yaml` (single GPU),
+  `vllm_omni/deploy/minimax_music3_2gpu.yaml` (split across two)
+
+## Architecture
+
+| Component | Spec |
+|---|---|
+| Backbone | Qwen3 decoder, 36 layers, hidden 4096, GQA 32/8, vocab 200k |
+| Depth decoder | 4 layers, hidden 4096, 16 heads; 7 residual codebooks of 1024 |
+| Frame | 8 codebooks; `c0` in the backbone vocabulary, `c1..c7` in the depth decoder |
+| AR guidance | Classifier-free, scale 1.5, `c0` masked to the conditioned branch's top 50 |
+| Acoustic stage | Flow-matching transformer (36 layers, dim 2048) plus a DAC-style decoder, 512x upsampling |
+| Solver | Euler, 30 steps, acoustic guidance scale 1.7 |
+| Window | 200 frames per acoustic chunk, 100-frame hop |
+| Frame rate | 25 frames per second |
+| Context length | 10,240 tokens |
+| Output | 32 kHz stereo WAV |
+
+Generation is two-stage. The backbone predicts one audio frame per decode step,
+each frame eight RVQ codebooks deep. Every 200 frames are handed to the
+flow-matching transformer, which solves a latent that the decoder turns into
+waveform.
+
+**Guidance doubles the rows.** Every request decodes twice: one row sees the
+real prompt, the other sees the same prompt with the caption-and-lyrics span
+replaced by `<|audio_cfg|>`. Both rows hold their own KV cache for the whole
+song, so a request costs twice the KV its length suggests. Size the pool for
+rows, not requests.

+- Python: 3.12
+- CUDA: 12.9
+- vLLM version: 0.27.0
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: branch `feat/minimax-music3`
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+vllm serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3 \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
+    --trust-remote-code --omni
+```
+
+The default deploy config `vllm_omni/deploy/minimax_music3.yaml` is discovered
+automatically from the checkpoint's `model_type=minimax_music3`. It colocates
+both stages on device 0.
+
+#### Verification
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8000/v1/audio/speech \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3",

+    "instructions": "A melancholic lo-fi hip-hop track at 85 BPM in F minor: mellow Rhodes piano riff, soft vinyl crackle, dusty boom-bap drums with a laid-back swing, warm upright bass. Intimate bedroom production, gentle tape saturation, no bright cymbals.",
+    "seed": 1,
+    "max_new_tokens": 750
+  }' \
+  --output song.wav
+```
+
+Expected: a 30 second 32 kHz stereo WAV. `max_new_tokens` counts audio frames
+at 25 per second, so 750 frames is at most 30 seconds. It is a cap, not a
+target: the model ends the song itself when it emits the audio-end token, and a
+response shorter than the cap is the model finishing rather than a truncation.
+
+#### Notes
+
+- **Memory:** stage 0 takes `gpu_memory_utilization: 0.6` for the bf16 backbone
+  and its KV pool; stage 1 takes 0.2 for the transformer and decoder weights,
+  which sit outside any KV budget.
+- **Key flags:** none required. Guidance, the solver step count and the window
+  geometry are fixed by the checkpoint and are not request parameters.
+- **Known limitations:**
+  - The external API is non-streaming; `stream: true` is rejected.
+  - `max_model_len` is 10,240, so a maximum-length prompt (5,000 tokens) and a
+    maximum-length song (9,000 frames) cannot both fit. Long captions shorten
+    the maximum song. This is a property of the checkpoint.
+  - The acoustic stage runs in float32. bfloat16 is accepted but measurably
+    degrades the solver.
+
+### 2x H200 141GB
+
+Use `minimax_music3_2gpu.yaml` to put the acoustic stage on the second device:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-Music3 \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
+    --trust-remote-code --omni \
+    --deploy-config minimax_music3_2gpu.yaml
+```
+
+Only the placement differs; both layouts run the acoustic stage in float32.
+
+## Writing the request
+
+Two fields carry the request, and both are required.
+
+- `input` is the **lyrics**. Structure tags (`[Verse]`, `[Chorus]`, `[Bridge]`,
+  `[Outro]`) steer the arrangement and are part of the prompt contract.
+  **Put a tag on its own line.** Normalization keeps only the tags on a line
+  that starts with one and drops the rest of that line, so lyrics written next
+  to a tag are silently lost:
+
+  ```text
+  "[Verse]\nWalking down the street"   ->   [start] [verse] Walking down the street
+  "[Verse] Walking down the street"    ->   [start] [verse]
+  ```
+
+- `instructions` is the **caption** describing genre, instrumentation, tempo,
+  mood and production. It is the strongest control available: vague captions
+  give generic arrangements. Long structured captions work well, since the
+  model was trained on descriptions covering global attributes, emotional
+  progression, vocal detail and arrangement.
+
+A request is deterministic in its seed: the same lyrics, caption, seed and
+length return the same audio. Changing only the seed gives another take of the
+same song.
+
+## Request parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `input` | string | required | Lyrics, non-empty. Tags on their own lines |
+| `instructions` | string | required | Caption, non-empty |
+| `seed` | int | `0` | Non-negative. Fixes the output for a given request |
+| `max_new_tokens` | int | `9000` | Cap on audio frames, 25 per second. Maximum 9,000 |
+| `response_format` | string | `"wav"` | Output container |
+
+## Parameters the model rejects
+
+The request is refused rather than silently ignored, so a mistake is visible
+immediately.
+
+| Parameter | Reason |
+|---|---|
+| `temperature`, `top_p`, `top_k`, `repetition_penalty` | Sampling is fixed: guidance at 1.5, then a seeded top-k 50 draw |
+| `voice` | There is no speaker to select; the vocal comes from the caption |
+| `ref_audio`, `ref_text`, `language`, `task_type` | No reference-audio conditioning and no language tag |
+| `speed` | Only `1.0`. Tempo belongs in the caption, e.g. "at 92 BPM" |
+| `stream: true` | The external API is non-streaming |

+
+> Camera-controllable first-frame image-to-video world model.
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: Efficient-Large-Model / NVlabs SANA
+- Model: `BBBBruce/SANA-WM_bidirectional-stage1-diffusers` (standard diffusers layout, converted offline from the NVlabs release; Stage-1 transformer + VAE only)
+- Task: First-frame image-to-video generation with camera control
+- Mode: Online serving with the OpenAI-compatible video API
+- Model weights: about 13 GB for the Stage-1 transformer (10 GB) and VAE (2.3 GB)
+- Local disk: reserve about 40 GB for the Hugging Face cache and runtime artifacts
+- Recommended GPU: 24 GB or larger CUDA GPU
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe when you want to serve SANA-WM through `/v1/videos` or
+`/v1/videos/sync`. The model takes a text prompt, a first-frame image, and
+either an action DSL string or explicit camera poses. vLLM-Omni serves the
+SANA-WM Stage-1 DiT, decoded through the SANA VAE. The optional LTX-2 refiner
+stage is not supported by this integration; it is a planned follow-up.

+
+#### Capacity
+
+- Model storage: the Stage-1 transformer is about 10 GB and the VAE about
+  2.3 GB. The Gemma text encoder is a separate 4.9 GB repo. The engine prefetches
+  the whole model repo at startup (`allow_patterns=["*"]`), which is why the
+  Stage-1 weights live in their own repo — the two-stage one carries an
+  additional 84 GB `refiner/` that this path never loads.
+- Text encoder: the pipeline tries `google/gemma-2-2b-it` first, then falls back
+  to the ungated mirror `Efficient-Large-Model/gemma-2-2b-it`. The first repo is
+  gated, so without an accepted licence and `hf auth login` you will see one
+  failed load before the fallback succeeds — that is expected, not an error to
+  chase. Set `VLLM_OMNI_SANA_WM_STAGE1_TEXT_ENCODER` to pin a specific repo or a
+  local path and skip both.
+- Disk sizing: provision about 40 GB of local disk or Hugging Face cache volume
+  so the model, temporary downloads, and generated artifacts fit without cache
+  eviction.
+- GPU sizing: the default 1280x704, 161-frame, 60-step serving profile peaks at
+  22.6 GB of device memory and takes about 133 s to generate on one RTX PRO
+  6000 Blackwell. The peak lands in the VAE decode, which is why the pipeline
+  forces VAE tiling on regardless of `vae_use_tiling` — without it the same
+  request costs about 9 GB more, and a 321-frame one OOMs outright. On smaller
+  GPUs, lower `width`, `height`, or `num_frames` before serving production
+  requests.
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux
+- Python: 3.10+
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA driver with CUDA runtime supported by your PyTorch
+  build
+- Recommended operator library: Triton, installed through the vLLM/vLLM-Omni
+  Python environment
+- vLLM version: Match the repository requirements for your checkout
+- vLLM-Omni version or commit: Use the commit you are deploying from
+
+#### Command
+
+The repo ships the standard Diffusers layout (`model_index.json` +
+`transformer/`, `vae/`), and its `model_index.json` names `SanaWmPipeline`, so
+the pipeline class resolves on its own.
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 \
+vllm serve BBBBruce/SANA-WM_bidirectional-stage1-diffusers \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 \
+  --port 8091
+```
+
+No deploy config: single-stage diffusion models are deliberately absent from
+`OMNI_PIPELINES` (`vllm_omni/config/pipeline_registry.py`), so stage resolution
+falls back to the default stage config and a YAML's stage settings — including
+`default_sampling_params` — would not be applied. The production generation
+settings therefore live in the model (`num_inference_steps=60`,
+`guidance_scale=5.0`); a request that omits a field gets them. The examples
+below still pass every field explicitly so the numbers are visible.
+
+If you point this at the older two-stage repo
+(`BBBBruce/SANA-WM_bidirectional-diffusers`), startup fails with `Model class
+SanaWmTwoStagesPipeline not found in diffusion model registry`, because that
+repo's `model_index.json` names a class this build does not register. Add
+`--model-class-name SanaWmPipeline` to override it.
+
+#### Verification
+
+Use a short smoke request first:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -H "Accept: video/mp4" \
+  -F "prompt=A slow forward camera move through a quiet city street." \
+  -F "negative_prompt=blurry, low quality, distorted, watermark" \
+  -F "input_reference=@/path/to/first_frame.png;type=image/png" \
+  -F "width=1280" \
+  -F "height=704" \
+  -F "num_frames=9" \
+  -F "fps=16" \
+  -F "num_inference_steps=2" \
+  -F "guidance_scale=5.0" \
+  -F "seed=42" \
+  --form-string 'extra_params={"sana_wm":{"action":"w-8","translation_speed":0.055,"rotation_speed_deg":1.2,"intrinsics":{"fx":640,"fy":640,"cx":640,"cy":352}}}' \
+  -o sana_wm_smoke.mp4
+```
+
+For a production-length request, note that the action durations must sum to
+`num_frames - 1` — the rollout includes the identity start pose — and a
+mismatch is rejected rather than padded or truncated:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS -X POST http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/sync \
+  -H "Accept: video/mp4" \
+  -F "prompt=A slow forward camera move through a quiet city street." \
+  -F "negative_prompt=blurry, low quality, distorted, watermark" \
+  -F "input_reference=@/path/to/first_frame.png;type=image/png" \
+  -F "width=1280" \
+  -F "height=704" \
+  -F "num_frames=161" \
+  -F "fps=16" \
+  -F "num_inference_steps=60" \
+  -F "guidance_scale=5.0" \

+  -o sana_wm_output.mp4
+```
+
+Use `POST /v1/videos` instead when you want job storage and polling rather than
+inline MP4 bytes. It accepts the same form fields as `/v1/videos/sync`.
+
+```bash

+curl -L "http://localhost:8091/v1/videos/${video_id}/content" -o sana_wm_output.mp4
+```
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Sequence parallelism is not supported. The bidirectional gated delta
+  recurrence carries state across frames, so a rank cannot denoise a slice
+  of the token sequence in isolation; supporting it needs a distributed scan
+  or an all-gather before the GDN blocks.
+
+- `input_reference` is required for the first frame. Use `image_reference` only
+  when you need a JSON-safe image URL or data URL instead of a multipart upload.
+- `sana_wm` must provide exactly one of `action` or `camera`.
+- Action strings use comma-separated `<keys>-<duration>` segments. Supported
+  keys are `w`, `a`, `s`, `d` for translation and `i`, `j`, `k`, `l` for
+  pitch/yaw rotation. The durations must sum to `num_frames - 1`.
+- Explicit camera control (alternative to `action`): pass
+  `"camera": {"poses": [...]}` where `poses` is a list of `num_frames`
+  camera-to-world 4x4 matrices (row-major, OpenCV `+X right, +Y down, +Z forward`
+  convention), e.g.
+  `extra_params={"sana_wm":{"camera":{"poses":[[[1,0,0,0],[0,1,0,0],[0,0,1,0],[0,0,0,1]], ...]},"intrinsics":{...}}}`.
+  Most callers should prefer `action`; explicit poses exist for callers that
+  already have a per-frame trajectory.
+- Explicit `intrinsics` are recommended and take the mapping form
+  `{"fx":640,"fy":640,"cx":640,"cy":352}` (for 1280x704). This `{fx,fy,cx,cy}`
+  mapping is the only accepted intrinsics form; omit `intrinsics` to derive them
+  from the output resolution. All four values must be finite, and `fx`/`fy`
+  must be positive — the ray map divides by them.
+- The video API returns decoded MP4 bytes and has no `output_type` field, so
+  raw Stage-1 latents are reachable only from the offline API
+  (`OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(output_type="latent")`); see
+  [`tests/e2e/offline_inference/test_sana_wm.py`](../../tests/e2e/offline_inference/test_sana_wm.py).
+  Putting `output_type` in `extra_params` does not work: it lands in
+  `sampling_params.extra_args`, while the pipeline reads the top-level field.

+HiFT stays eager because it generates random phase. The graph cache stores up
+to 32 entries by default, after which unseen shapes run eagerly.
+
+An ACL graph capture failure is fatal to that Stage-2 process because older
+torch-npu releases can leave allocator and RNG capture state invalid. Restart
+the service after a capture failure. To run without capture, set
+`code2wav_enable_npu_graph: false` under the Stage-2
+`platforms.npu.stages[].additional_config` block before startup. Tune the cache
+limit there with `code2wav_max_npu_graphs`. Graph mode also requires
+`ASCEND_LAUNCH_BLOCKING` to be unset or set to `0`.
+
+The inner NPUGraph is independent of the outer runner setting, so do not use a
+global `--enforce-eager` override when Stage 0/1 `PIECEWISE` replay is desired.

+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Linux 6.8.0-134-generic, x86_64
+- Container: official ROCm image built from `docker/Dockerfile.rocm`
+- Python: 3.12.13
+- PyTorch: 2.11.0+gitd0c8b1f
+- Driver / runtime: AMD 6.19.14.31400000 / ROCm 7.2.53211
+- GPU: one AMD Instinct MI300X, `gfx942:sramecc+:xnack-`, 191.69 GiB visible HBM
+- vLLM version: 0.27.0+rocm723
+- vLLM Omni version or commit: `3fecb6953ca8dc51210cc0421ef24552267a41ef`
+- Installed vLLM Omni package metadata: `0.27.0rc2.dev44+g55abdade9.rocm`
+- ONNX Runtime: onnxruntime-rocm 1.22.2.post3 with `ROCMExecutionProvider`
+- transformers: 5.15.0
+
+#### Command
+
+The MI300X tests also worked without `enforce_eager`. To use that setup, remove `enforce_eager: true` from stage 1 under `platforms.rocm` in `vllm_omni/deploy/qwen3_tts.yaml`.
+
+Set this environment variable before you start Qwen3-TTS:
+
+```bash
+export MIOPEN_FIND_MODE=FAST
+```
+
+#### Verification
+
+Each row records one offline request with one prompt and batch size one. Request time is the logged `e2e_wall_time_ms`, and stage 1 time is the logged `e2e_stage_1_wall_time_ms`.
+
+| Checkpoint | Code2Wav configuration | `MIOPEN_FIND_MODE` | Request time | Stage 1 time | Output duration | Real time factor | Maximum sampled device memory |
+| --- | --- | --- | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| CustomVoice | Eager | Unset | 1.683 s | 1.613 s | 5.68 s | 0.30 | 60.91 GiB |
+| CustomVoice | Graphs allowed | `FAST` | 1.326 s | 1.259 s | 5.68 s | 0.23 | 62.19 GiB |
+| VoiceDesign | Eager | Unset | 1.195 s | 1.180 s | 4.40 s | 0.27 | 60.91 GiB |
+| VoiceDesign | Graphs allowed | `FAST` | 1.127 s | 1.054 s | 4.40 s | 0.26 | 62.21 GiB |
+| Base | Eager | Unset | 13.330 s | 13.263 s | 4.32 s | 3.09 | 61.74 GiB |
+| Base | Graphs allowed | `FAST` | 14.314 s | 14.245 s | 4.80 s | 2.98 | 62.84 GiB |
+
+All six processes finished successfully, and each output passed the 24 kHz mono WAV checks.
+
+#### Notes
+
+- The current ROCm config keeps Code2Wav in eager mode.
+- The tested alternative allows graphs and sets [`MIOPEN_FIND_MODE=FAST`](https://rocm.docs.amd.com/projects/MIOpen/en/develop/reference/env_variables.html). MIOpen uses a saved kernel choice when available and uses its immediate fallback otherwise.
+- CustomVoice used a graph for one of four logged Code2Wav batches. VoiceDesign used a graph for two of four batches. Base used no graphs for its four logged batches.
+- The recorded request time with graphs allowed was lower for CustomVoice and VoiceDesign and higher for Base. The Base runs generated different amounts of audio, so their request times are not a direct comparison.
+- Each setup was tested with one request, so the timing is not a performance benchmark.
+- GPU memory was sampled once per second with `rocm-smi`.

+# LingBot-World 2.0
+
+> Offline and experimental realtime interactive world generation
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: Robbyant
+- Model: `robbyant/lingbot-world-v2-14b-causal-fast-diffusers`
+- Task: image-conditioned interactive world generation
+- Modes: offline trajectory replay and in-process realtime AR-Diffusion ticks
+- Hardware validated: NVIDIA H200 and B200
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+The checkpoint is separately licensed under CC BY-NC-SA and restricted to
+non-commercial use. The vLLM-Omni integration code remains Apache-2.0.
+
+## Offline generation
+
+The offline path consumes one source image and an action directory containing
+`poses.npy` with shape `[frames, 4, 4]` and `intrinsics.npy` with shape
+`[frames, 4]`.
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/diffusion/lingbot_world_v2.py \
+  --prompt "The camera moves slowly forward through the scene." \
+  --image /path/to/first_frame.png \
+  --action-dir /path/to/actions/forward \
+  --num-frames 81 \
+  --output lingbot_world_v2.mp4
+```
+
+The current causal-fast checkpoint uses four DMD sampling steps. Raw frame
+counts must be `9 + 12k`, up to 117 frames. Camera files may contain a
+longer bounded source trajectory (the official example contains 269 frames);
+the runtime consumes only the prefix needed by the request.
+
+## Realtime in-process generation
+
+The realtime example keeps AR-Diffusion KV and model-owned state across
+requests. Each JSONL line describes the prompt and/or three latent-frame camera
+actions applied at the next chunk boundary:
+
+```json
+{"event_id":1,"prompt":"A road through a forest","frames":[["j"],[],[]]}
+{"event_id":2,"frames":[["w"],["w"],["w"]]}
+{"event_id":3,"prompt":"The road enters a snowy valley","frames":[[],[],[]]}
+```
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/diffusion/lingbot_world_v2_realtime.py \
+  --image /path/to/first_frame.png \
+  --events /path/to/events.jsonl \
+  --output-dir /tmp/lingbot-realtime \
+  --gpu-memory-fraction 0.6
+```
+
+The example writes one latent tensor and one metadata JSON file per chunk. It
+exercises the same `ARDiffusionSessionManager -> ARDiffusionOmniTickConsumer
+-> AsyncOmni -> ARDiffusionEngine` path used by a future HTTP or WebSocket
+transport.
+
+This PR intentionally does not define a public realtime HTTP/WebSocket schema.
+An online serving client should be added together with the public transport
+API rather than exposing LingBot-specific event fields from the generic model
+runtime. The structured camera-interaction frontend and transport work is
+tracked separately in
+[vllm-project/vllm-omni#5527](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/pull/5527).
+
+## Realtime identity and controls
+
+- `session_id` identifies the persistent world and its worker-owned state.
+- `event_id` identifies a prompt/control update and remains monotonic across reset.
+- `chunk_index` is contiguous from zero and restarts from zero after reset.
+- `request_id` correlates one chunk snapshot with its output metadata.
+- AsyncOmni uses a separate UUID-suffixed internal engine routing ID.
+
+The generic runtime transports controls as opaque snapshots. LingBot's adapter
+accepts:
+
+- `lingbot.camera_actions.v1` for per-latent-frame key states such as `w`, `a`,
+  `s`, `d`, `i`, `j`, `k`, and `l`;
+- `lingbot.camera_trajectory.v1` for explicit pose/intrinsics trajectories.
+
+## Validation
+
+Real-checkpoint validation uses 480x832 output, four DMD steps, and seed 42.
+The exercised matrix includes:
+
+- TP=1 and TP=2 execution;
+- two interleaved resident sessions;
+- action input and prompt switching;
+- seven contiguous chunks crossing the sink plus recent rolling window;
+- direct versus paged replay;
+- CUDA Graph execution;
+- reset, close, failure cleanup, and exact metadata matching; and
+- nine-frame VAE decode.
+
+Official `generate.py` accuracy and performance numbers, together with
+generation artifacts, are recorded in the PR validation section for the exact
+tested commit.
+
+## Current limitations
+
+- Only the 14B causal-fast checkpoint is supported.
+- The realtime control plane is internal; there is no public server transport yet.
+- AR-Diffusion stages currently require one replica because session-affine
+  routing across replicas is not implemented.
+- One AR block is generated per request and `max_num_seqs` must be one.
+- Stateful streaming VAE decode is not implemented; the realtime example emits
+  latent chunks.
+- SP/USP, pipeline/CFG parallelism, HSDP, VAE parallelism, quantization,
+  Cache-DiT, TeaCache, causal-pretrain, and the 1.3B checkpoint are not claimed.
+- No AMD GPU, Ascend NPU, or Intel GPU support is claimed.

+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: k2-fsa
+- Model: `k2-fsa/OmniVoice`
+- Task: Multilingual text to speech
+- Mode: Offline inference for all modes and online serving for automatic voice
+- Maintainer: Community
+

+- [Offline text to speech examples](../../docs/user_guide/examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech.md#omnivoice)
+- [Online text to speech examples](../../docs/user_guide/examples/online_serving/text_to_speech.md#omnivoice)
+- [Deploy config](../../vllm_omni/deploy/omnivoice.yaml)
+
+## Requirements
+
+Download the checkpoint before the first run:
+
+```bash
+huggingface-cli download k2-fsa/OmniVoice
+```
+
+Automatic voice and voice design require `transformers>=4.57.0`. Reference voice cloning requires `transformers>=5.3.0`.
+
+The vLLM Omni deploy config runs the OmniVoice generator and decoder inside one float32 diffusion stage.

+
+### 1x AMD MI300X
+
+#### Environment
+
+- GPU: one AMD Instinct MI300X with 191.69 GiB visible HBM and gfx942
+- Kernel: Linux 6.8.0-134-generic, x86_64
+- Python: 3.12.13
+- PyTorch: 2.11.0+gitd0c8b1f
+- ROCm or HIP: 7.2.53211

+- vLLM Omni checkout: `73e1368c7bb940efe1a025859c9d6c8eeeb2e3f0`
+- transformers: 5.15.0
+
+The run used the official ROCm image built from `docker/Dockerfile.rocm`.
+
+#### Automatic voice
+
+Run the offline example from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+python3 examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/omnivoice/end2end.py \
+    --model k2-fsa/OmniVoice \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/omnivoice.yaml \
+    --text "Hello, this is OmniVoice running on one AMD MI300X." \
+    --seed 42 \
+    --output omnivoice_mi300x.wav
+```
+
+The checked run produced a valid 24 kHz mono WAV with 3.60 seconds of audio, RMS 0.1194, and peak absolute amplitude 0.9129. The first request took 0.685 seconds, which gives a real time factor of 0.19. Model loading used 3.5739 GiB and took 9.564 seconds. The request used 4.56 GB reserved and 3.64 GB allocated according to the internal profiler, while the largest one second whole device sample was 8.33 GiB. The log states that the OmniVoice Triton kernels loaded.
+
+#### Reference voice cloning
+
+The offline interface also accepts a reference WAV and its transcript:
+
+```bash
+python3 examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/omnivoice/end2end.py \
+    --model k2-fsa/OmniVoice \
+    --text "Hello, this is a cloned voice." \
+    --ref-audio ref.wav \
+    --ref-text "This is the reference transcription." \
+    --output cloned.wav
+```
+
+#### Voice design
+
+```bash
+python3 examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/omnivoice/end2end.py \
+    --model k2-fsa/OmniVoice \
+    --text "Hello, this is a designed voice." \
+    --instruct "female, low pitch, British accent" \

+# Pi0 (π0, Pi-Zero) VLA
+
+> Vision-Language-Action policy serving over the OpenPI realtime websocket
+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: Physical Intelligence (checkpoint redistributed by LeRobot)
+- Model: `lerobot/pi0_base`
+- Task: Vision-Language-Action — multi-camera images + a language instruction +
+  robot proprioceptive state → a continuous action chunk
+  `[action_horizon, action_dim] = [50, 32]` via flow-matching denoising. π0 does
+  **not** emit text tokens.
+- Mode: Online serving via the OpenPI realtime robot API
+  (`/v1/realtime/robot/openpi` websocket)
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe to deploy `lerobot/pi0_base` as a robot policy server: a robot
+client connects over the OpenPI websocket and, per control step, sends an
+observation (camera frames + state + instruction) and receives an action chunk.
+
+A single pipeline class (`Pi0Pipeline`) serves the policy. π0 is stateless across
+calls (no KV reuse), so the protocol's `session_id` / `reset` are accepted but
+ignored.
+
+## Weights
+
+π0 uses the LeRobot `lerobot/pi0_base` checkpoint (HF, ~13 GB). Either let the
+server download it (`MODEL=lerobot/pi0_base`) or point at a local copy.
+
+## Hardware Support
+
+### 1x H200 141GB (Online serving)
+
+#### Environment
+
+- OS: Ubuntu 22.04+
+- Python: 3.12+
+- Driver / runtime: NVIDIA CUDA environment
+- vLLM / vLLM-Omni: use the commit you are deploying from
+- OpenPI client extras (for the example client): `openpi-client`
+  (`pip install -e packages/openpi-client` from the
+  [openpi](https://github.com/Physical-Intelligence/openpi) repo), `websockets`,
+  `msgpack`, `msgpack-numpy`
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+vllm serve lerobot/pi0_base \
+  --omni \
+  --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 \
+  --served-model-name pi0 \
+  --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/pi0.yaml \
+  --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+The deploy config (`vllm_omni/deploy/pi0.yaml`) declares a single diffusion stage
+(`Pi0Pipeline`), `float32`, `max_num_seqs: 1`, and the `policy_server_config`
+handshake metadata (3 cameras, `joint_position`, action horizon 50, action dim
+32) that enables the OpenPI realtime serving layer.
+
+#### Verification
+
+Run the example client (sends a synthetic observation and prints the returned
+action chunk):
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/pi0/openpi_client.py \
+  --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000 \
+  --prompt "pick up the red block and place it in the bin"
+```
+
+It connects, prints the server metadata, sends robot observations, and prints the
+returned `[action_horizon, action_dim] = [50, 32]` action chunks. The observation
+is a flat dict per inference:
+
+```python
+{
+    "observation.images.base_0_rgb":        np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "observation.images.left_wrist_0_rgb":  np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "observation.images.right_wrist_0_rgb": np.uint8[H, W, 3],
+    "state":   np.float32[state_dim],   # zero-padded to max_state_dim=32 server-side
+    "prompt":  "pick up the red block",
+    "session_id": "<uuid>",             # accepted but ignored (π0 is stateless)
+}
+```
+
+Camera keys must match the server's `image_feature_keys` (the checkpoint's
+`input_features` order). If your robot uses different camera names, set
+`model_config.image_key_map` in `pi0.yaml` to map raw obs keys → feature keys.
+
+## Correctness
+
+π0's flow-matching kernel is bit-for-bit matched to the LeRobot `PI0Policy`
+reference (`max|Δ| = 7.15e-07`, CPU/float32, fixed noise; see
+`tests/diffusion/models/pi0/test_pi0_parity.py::test_pi0_vllm_omni_vs_lerobot`).
