 *Latest News* 🔥
+- [2026/08] [VeRL-Omni](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni) `v0.2.0` is released: faster diffusion RL powered by vLLM-Omni (request-level/step-wise batching with FA3), rebuilt Qwen3-Omni multimodal training (DPO & GSPO), plus LTX-2.3, Qwen-Image-Edit support and more. See the [release notes](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni/releases/tag/v0.2.0).
 - [2026/08] We released [0.26.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.26.0) - aligned with the vLLM 0.26 release line, featuring [MiniMax H3](recipes/MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3.md) joint video/audio generation, an experimental full-duplex realtime runtime for [MiniCPM-o 4.5](recipes/OpenBMB/MiniCPM-o-4_5.md), distributed layerwise diffusion offload, and broader model, hardware, streaming, TTS, and quantization support.
 - [2026/07] We released [0.24.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.24.0) - aligned with the vLLM 0.24 release line, expanding production-ready coverage across TTS, speech, diffusion, image/video generation, and robot-policy serving, with major Omni stage runtime refactoring, diffusion request-level batching, async output materialization, quantization/cache/memory improvements, and broad CUDA/ROCm/XPU/NPU support.
 - [2026/06] Starting with [0.14.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.14.0), vLLM-Omni publishes a stable release aligned with every even-numbered upstream vLLM minor version. [0.16.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.16.0), [0.18.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.18.0), [0.20.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.20.0), and [0.22.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.22.0) continued this cadence, expanding omni and world-model support with [NVIDIA Cosmos3](recipes/cosmos3/Cosmos3-Nano.md) and DreamZero, adding models such as MiniCPM-o 4.5, MOSS-TTS, and Lance, and advancing TTS, diffusion, distributed execution, quantization, RL integration through [VeRL-Omni](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni), and CUDA/ROCm/MUSA/NPU/XPU coverage.

+### Per-model coverage
+
+Pilot (v1): two Merge-tier (L3) jobs in `.buildkite/cuda/test-merge.yml` upload
+per-model, per-entry-mode coverage as Buildkite artifacts — "Diffusion · Bagel
+Test" and "TTS · Qwen3-TTS Base Test". Both run on a single GPU so the pilot is
+cheap to reproduce. This is a pilot, not a rollout: no dashboard/visualization
+lives in this repo, and nothing is gated on coverage.
+
+**Naming convention**: `coverage-<model_id>-<mode>-<step_id>.xml.gz`, where
+`<model_id>` is the model's directory name under
+`vllm_omni/diffusion/models/<model_id>/` or
+`vllm_omni/model_executor/models/<model_id>/` (e.g. `z_image`, `qwen3_omni`),
+`<mode>` is `online` or `offline`, and `<step_id>` is `BUILDKITE_STEP_ID`
+(`local` outside Buildkite). `gunzip` before feeding a report to a Cobertura
+consumer.
+
+Reports are gzipped because `--cov=vllm_omni` sets coverage's `source`, which
+makes it walk the package and emit one `<line>` element per statement for every
+file — including the ones a single model's tests never import. That inventory,
+not the coverage, is the size: a Bagel report is 7.1 MB, of which 96.5% is
+`<line>` elements and 77% belongs to the 840 of 1169 files that run never
+imported. A run covering zero lines produces the same 7 MB. gzip takes it to
+roughly 410 KB and changes nothing about the data.
+
+`<step_id>` is what keeps two steps that cover the same model apart. Artifacts are
+scoped to the build, and a nightly build carries the ready, merge and nightly tiers
+at once, so several same-model steps land in one namespace — `qwen3_tts` already has
+both a Base and a CustomVoice job, and `minicpmo_4_5` a base and a duplex one. Two
+uploads on one path do not fail loudly: an exact-name download can report the path
+as ambiguous, and a glob download fetches every match concurrently and renames each
+onto the same destination, so whichever finishes last wins. The step id remains the
+logical step identifier across retries, while Buildkite's default artifact lookup
+selects only the latest attempt — `BUILDKITE_JOB_ID` would instead give every
+attempt its own filename, leaving a failed attempt's partial report to be picked up
+alongside the real one. A step using `parallelism`/matrix would need
+`BUILDKITE_PARALLEL_JOB` added, since its jobs share a step id; neither pilot is
+one.
+
+**Opting in a new model**: replace the job's combined `pytest` command with
+[`run_cov_split.sh`](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/blob/main/.buildkite/common/scripts/run_cov_split.sh),
+which runs each mode, names the reports, uploads them, and fails the step if
+either half or the upload failed:
+
+```yaml
+commands:
+  - |
+    .buildkite/common/scripts/run_cov_split.sh \
+      --model-id <model_id> \
+      --offline <offline test path> \
+      --online <online test path> \
+      -- <the job's existing pytest flags, e.g. -m '...' --run-level '...'>
+```
+
+Everything after `--` is forwarded verbatim to both runs with quoting preserved,
+so an expression like `-m 'advanced_model and cuda'` survives intact and a job can
+pass anything else it needs. `--offline`/`--online` are repeatable and only one is
+required, so a job with tests in a single mode runs just that half. Runtime is
+bounded solely by the step's `timeout_in_minutes` — raise it, since the split
+loads the model once per mode.
+
+Before splitting, confirm each half actually collects at least one test under the job's forwarded filters — pytest exits with code 5 ("no tests collected") if a half is empty, which the script reports as a failure, red-ing a job that used to pass as one combined invocation.
+
+Also check the tests' `num_cards` against the job's `mirror_hardwares` preset.
+`cuda_marks` turns `num_cards > 1` into `skipif(device_count() < num_cards)`, so a
+test asking for more GPUs than the preset provides is silently skipped and its
+coverage artifact comes back empty. Splitting such a job produces a file that
+looks fine and measures nothing — "Diffusion · Z Image Test" is the current
+example (online tests want 4 cards, the job runs on `l4_1`), which is why it is
+not a coverage pilot.
+
+Online-mode coverage depends on the `[tool.coverage.run]` `patch`/`sigterm`
+settings in `pyproject.toml`: online tests launch the server with
+`subprocess.Popen` and stop it with SIGTERM, and without those settings the XML
+reflects only the pytest parent process, not the server's code paths.
+
+The upload depends on `buildkite-agent` being callable inside the container. The
+`kubernetes` presets (`h100_*`, `*_npu_*`) provide it; the `docker` ones (`l4_*`)
+only do because they set `mount-buildkite-agent: true`. A new docker preset that
+runs a coverage job needs the same.
+
+List both `run_cov_split.sh` and `pyproject.toml` in every opted-in job's
+`source_file_dependencies` — both change what the job measures, so without them a
+change there is filtered out of normal PR builds and only surfaces in a later
+nightly. `tests/buildkite/test_upload_pipeline.py` asserts this for the pilots.
+Editing only the surrounding CI YAML still does not schedule them, so a PR that
+touches just the wiring needs a full E2E run (or the commands run on a GPU host)
+to produce artifacts. When checking a new model's
+artifacts, compare `lines-covered` between the online and offline XML rather than
+just confirming both files exist.

+# Diffusion Attention Backend Selection
+
+This document defines the selection and extension contract for diffusion
+attention backends. User-facing backend choices, installation, and tuning are
+in the [attention backend guides](../../user_guide/diffusion/attention_backends.md).
+
+## Scope
+
+The contract applies to DiT and other diffusion attention layers. It is
+separate from vLLM's autoregressive attention selector.
+
+The selection path has four responsibilities:
+
+1. normalize user configuration into `AttentionConfig` and `AttentionSpec`;
+2. resolve a spec for an attention role;
+3. ask the active platform to validate an explicit backend or choose a
+   hardware default; and
+4. load the selected `AttentionBackend` class from the registry path.
+
+## Resolution contract
+
+`get_attn_backend_for_role()` resolves configuration in this order:
+
+1. exact `per_role[role]`;
+2. category `per_role[role_category]`;
+3. `default`;
+4. platform default.
+
+An explicit resolution returns both the backend class and its
+`AttentionSpec`. A platform-default resolution returns the class and `None`.
+Layers must therefore treat the spec as optional and must not infer that a
+missing spec means SDPA.
+
+Class resolution is cached by backend name, head size, and whether TRTLLM may
+be selected automatically. Logging is cached separately by role and source so
+the startup record identifies why each role received its backend.
+
+## Registry and platform boundary
+
+`DiffusionAttentionBackendEnum` maps stable configuration names to default
+qualified class paths. `register_diffusion_backend()` may replace a path at
+runtime without changing the public enum value.
+
+The active `OmniPlatform` owns compatibility policy through
+`get_diffusion_attn_backend_cls()`. It must:
+
+- validate explicit selections and fail with an actionable error when the
+  requested kernel cannot run;
+- choose only an available, compatible default when no backend is explicit;
+- account for head size and other platform-visible constraints; and
+- return a qualified class path implementing `AttentionBackend`.
+
+The selector must not duplicate device capability or package-availability
+policy that belongs to the platform.
+
+## Typed backend options
+
+Backend-specific settings remain typed fields on `AttentionSpec` rather than
+unstructured keyword dictionaries:
+
+- `quant` is consumed by FlashInfer and TRTLLM with backend-specific value
+  validation;
+- `skip_softmax` is consumed by TRTLLM; and
+- `block_sparse` is consumed by block-sparse backends such as RainFusion.
+
+A backend reads only the fields it owns and rejects incompatible values. New
+options should be added to a shared typed spec only when more than one backend
+shares their semantics; otherwise add a dedicated typed block.
+
+## Model integration contract
+
+Each diffusion attention call declares a stable role and, when appropriate, a
+broader category. Model-specific roles permit precise overrides; categories
+preserve common `self` or `cross` policies. A model also decides whether its
+path is compatible with automatic TRTLLM selection, because only the model
+knows whether masking and packing satisfy the kernel contract.
+
+## Adding or changing a backend
+
+An implementation change is complete only when it:
+
+1. implements the `AttentionBackend` interface and exposes a stable enum name;
+2. adds platform validation and default routing where appropriate;
+3. defines and validates any typed configuration;
+4. tests explicit selection, default selection, and incompatible paths;
+5. documents installation, fallback behavior, and quality implications in the
+   corresponding user guide; and
+6. updates the overview matrix without moving algorithm details back into the
+   landing page.

+# CPU Offloading
+
+This document defines the shared architecture for diffusion CPU offloading.
+The three strategies have separate user and design pages:
+
+| Strategy | User guide | Design contract |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Model-level | [Guide](../../../user_guide/diffusion/offloader/cpu_offload.md) | [Design](cpu_offload.md) |
+| Layerwise | [Guide](../../../user_guide/diffusion/offloader/layerwise_offload.md) | [Design](layerwise_offload.md) |
+| Distributed layerwise | [Guide](../../../user_guide/diffusion/offloader/distributed_layerwise_offload.md) | [Design](distributed_layerwise_offload.md) |
+
+## Strategy selection
+
+`OffloadConfig.from_od_config()` converts diffusion configuration into one
+`OffloadStrategy`. If callers set multiple flags, selection is deterministic:
+
+1. `DISTRIBUTED_LAYERWISE`;
+2. `LAYERWISE`;
+3. `MODEL_LEVEL`; and
+4. `NONE`.
+
+The factory logs when a higher-priority strategy disables another. It derives
+parallel and HSDP state from `DiffusionParallelConfig`; callers do not provide
+a separate offload group size.
+
+`get_offload_backend()` then validates platform offload support, resolves the
+device, and creates exactly one backend. Returning `None` means offloading is
+disabled or unsupported and must not leave partially installed hooks.
+
+## Shared lifecycle
+
+Every backend implements `OffloadBackend`:
+
+- `enable(pipeline)` discovers modules, establishes initial residency, and
+  installs hooks;
+- `disable()` removes owned hooks and resources; and
+- `is_enabled()` reports lifecycle state.
+
+`disable()` does not promise to restore the pipeline's original device
+placement. The caller owns any subsequent rematerialization.
+
+Hooks are registered through `HookRegistry` and `ModelHook`; offload backends
+must use distinct hook names and remove only hooks they own.
+
+## Discovery and topology
+
+Pipeline component discovery prefers `SupportsComponentDiscovery` declarations:
+
+- `_dit_modules`;
+- `_encoder_modules`;
+- `_vae_modules`; and
+- `_resident_modules`.
+
+Dotted paths are supported. Legacy pipelines may use the fallback scan of
+well-known attribute names, but new integrations should declare components
+explicitly.
+
+Ordinary layerwise offload obtains topology from declared
+`_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs` (with a deprecated singular-name
+compatibility path). Distributed layerwise offload may instead use a pipeline
+`OffloadPlan`, then falls back to declared block attributes and its documented
+compatibility discovery. Discovery metadata describes structure only; the
+backend remains responsible for transfer, synchronization, and storage
+ownership.
+
+## Cross-strategy invariants
+
+- At most one strategy owns offload hooks for a pipeline.
+- A parameter has one authoritative host representation while offloaded.
+- Device storage is not freed until dependent compute or transfer work is
+  complete.
+- Non-persistent and model-specific buffers remain correct after movement or
+  checkpoint rematerialization.
+- Unsupported parallel or loading combinations fail before hooks mutate the
+  model.
+- Platform streams, events, synchronization, and cache management go through
+  the vLLM-Omni platform abstraction.
+
+The diffusion [Offloader module design](../../module/diffusion/offloader.md)
+describes how these feature contracts fit into the larger diffusion runtime.

+# Model-Level Offload
+
+Model-level offload enforces mutual exclusion between pipeline component
+groups. For commands and model support, see the
+[model-level user guide](../../../user_guide/diffusion/offloader/cpu_offload.md).
+
+## Generic hook path
+
+`ModelLevelOffloadBackend.enable()` discovers DiTs, encoders, and VAEs. It
+makes encoders and VAEs device resident for initialization, then installs
+`SequentialOffloadHook` instances:
+
+- each DiT hook offloads all encoders and other DiTs before loading itself;
+- each encoder hook offloads every DiT before loading itself; and
+- VAEs are not part of the mutual-exclusion hook set.
+
+The hook moves parameters and buffers without recursively calling
+`module.to()`. This avoids recursion through modules that retain references to
+other transformer blocks. Host tensors are pinned when configured; DTensors
+are not pinned through the ordinary tensor path.
+
+Before forward returns control to the model, the hook synchronizes the active
+platform so compute cannot race the transfer. XPU uses blocking device-to-host
+copies because its allocator cannot safely evict storage while an asynchronous
+copy is pending.
+
+## Split-model delegation
+
+If a pipeline provides callable `enable_omni_model_cpu_offload`, the backend
+delegates instead of installing generic encoder/DiT hooks. This supports models
+whose mutually exclusive components are nested inside one transformer, such
+as a reasoner and generator.
+
+The delegated pipeline owns its internal contexts, but must preserve the same
+contract:
+
+- only the executing component is device resident;
+- enable and disable are idempotent;
+- transfers use the supplied device, pinning, and HSDP settings; and
+- disabling removes all model-local offload hooks or contexts.
+
+The delegation is currently duck typed. If another independent implementation
+is added, formalize the enable/disable pair as a protocol rather than expanding
+attribute-name heuristics.
+
+## Extension invariants
+
+- New ordinary pipelines declare both DiT and encoder groups through
+  `SupportsComponentDiscovery`.
+- Models with multiple DiTs offload the inactive DiTs as well as encoders.
+- Empty or parameterless modules do not trigger transfers.
+- Hook removal does not move modules; callers must not assume original
+  residency is restored.

+Shared selection and lifecycle behavior is defined in the
+[CPU Offloading design](README.md).

+
+## Hook ring
+
+`LayerWiseOffloadBackend` discovers every streamable block and registers one
+`LayerwiseOffloadHook` per block. Hooks form a ring: each hook owns the pinned
+host representation of its registered block and a reference to the next block
+it must prefetch; the final hook prefetches the first block for the next
+denoising iteration.
+
+During initialization, parameters and buffers are grouped by dtype and copied
+into contiguous pinned CPU tensors. Original tensor storage is replaced with
+an empty or meta placeholder while identity and module structure are retained.
+Metadata records names, offsets, shapes, and dtypes for rematerialization.
+
+## Forward lifecycle
+
+For each block:
+
+1. the previous hook's completion event ensures this block is materialized;
+2. the copy stream asynchronously allocates and fills the next block's device
+   tensors;
+3. parameter and buffer storage is rebound to views of those tensors;
+4. the current block computes on the normal stream; and
+5. its post-forward hook replaces device storage with placeholders after all
+   dependent work is safe.
+
+The copy stream waits on the compute stream before reusing storage, and the
+compute stream waits on the per-block prefetch event before forward. These
+dependencies, not incidental global synchronization, define correctness.
+
+## Topology contract
+
+A DiT declares ordered block-container attributes using
+`_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs` or an `OffloadPlan`. Each resolved item must
+be an executable `nn.Module`; ordering must match forward execution. Multiple
+containers are concatenated in execution order.
+
+Non-block DiT modules, encoders, VAEs, and declared resident modules are not
+streamed by this backend.
+
+## Invariants and limitations
+
+- Each offloaded tensor has one pinned host backing store.
+- Parameter identity is preserved when storage is rebound.

 # Diffusion Attention Backends

-This document describes the diffusion attention backends available in vLLM-Omni, how to select them globally and per-role, the per-platform defaults, and how to use SageAttention.
+Use this page to select and configure a diffusion attention backend. Backend-
+specific installation, tuning, and compatibility details live in separate
+guides so that the selection contract stays easy to scan.

-## Overview
+Diffusion attention backend selection applies to DiT attention in image and
+video generation models. It does **not** change autoregressive LLM attention,
+which uses vLLM's attention selector.

-Diffusion attention backend selection is resolved in `vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.selector`. It looks up the backend from a structured `AttentionConfig` carried on `OmniDiffusionConfig` and falls back to the platform default when nothing is configured.
+For the internal selector, registry, and platform contract, see
+[Attention Backend Selection](../../design/feature/attention_backend_selection.md).

-This backend is used by diffusion attention layers such as the DiT attention in video and image generation models. It does **not** affect autoregressive (LLM) attention paths — those go through vLLM's own attention backend selector.
+## Choose a guide

-The full set of backends and their platform defaults is in the **Backend Options** and **Platform Defaults** sections below. If no attention backend is configured, vLLM-Omni asks the current platform to choose the default.
+| Need | Guide |
+| --- | --- |
+| Select a conservative or platform-native dense kernel | [Dense Backends](attention_backends/dense_backends.md) |
+| Use FlashInfer trtllm-gen FMHA, Skip-Softmax, or TRTLLM SAGE quantization | [TRTLLM Attention](attention_backends/trtllm.md) |
+| Install and use SageAttention 2.2 or SageAttention3 | [SageAttention](attention_backends/sage.md) |
+| Match training or rollout kernels loaded from Hugging Face | [Hugging Face Hub Backends](attention_backends/huggingface_hub.md) |
+| Use block-sparse video attention on Ascend NPU | [RainFusion](attention_backends/rainfusion.md) |

-## Backend Options
-
-| Value | Notes |
-|---|---|
-| `TRTLLM_ATTN` | FlashInfer's trtllm-gen FMHA (TensorRT-LLM's generated kernels, vendored by FlashInfer). Dense BF16, GQA native, `head_dim=128`. Datacenter Blackwell only (sm_100 / sm_103). Packed paths can provide `cu_seqlens` directly. Supports optional **Skip-Softmax** sparse attention — see below. Requires `flashinfer`. |
-| `FLASH_ATTN` | Wraps FlashAttention 4 on Blackwell when `flash-attn-4` is installed, then falls back to FlashAttention 3/2. Default on Hopper / Ada / Ampere when a compatible FlashAttention package is installed. |
-| `CUDNN_ATTN` | Pins `sdpa_kernel([CUDNN_ATTENTION])`. Default on Blackwell (sm_10x / sm_12x) with cuDNN ≥ 9.5. Wins on mask-heavy DiTs (HunyuanVideo-1.5: 2× e2e vs SDPA). |
-| `FLASHINFER_ATTN` | Uses FlashInfer's batch-prefill wrapper and supports mixed Q/K and V input dtypes through backend-specific configuration. Used as Blackwell fallback when cuDNN is unavailable. Requires `flashinfer` >= 0.6.16rc1 for mixed-dtype configurations. |
-| `TORCH_SDPA` | PyTorch `scaled_dot_product_attention` with the default backend dispatcher. Most conservative; always available. |
-| `SAGE_ATTN` | SageAttention 2.2 — INT8-quantized attention with FP16 accumulation. Lossy but typically visually indistinguishable on diffusion outputs. Requires `sageattention`. |
-| `SAGE_ATTN_3` | Requires `sageattn3` from `SageAttention/sageattention3_blackwell`. CUDA only, intended for Blackwell GPUs, with GQA/MQA requests falling back to PyTorch SDPA. |
-| `FLASH_ATTN_HUB` | FlashAttention 2 from HuggingFace `kernels` library. Useful for train/rollout alignment. |
-| `FLASH_ATTN_3_HUB` | FlashAttention 3 from HuggingFace `kernels` library. CUDA Hopper (sm_90+) only; falls back to `FLASH_ATTN_HUB` on older GPUs. |
-| `RAINFUSION_ATTN` | MindIE-SD **RainFusion** block-sparse video attention — see [below](#rainfusion_attn-backend-and-block-sparse-video-attention). Ascend NPU only; requires `mindiesd`. Delegates to `FLASH_ATTN` for anything that is not a packed video sequence. |

 ## Configuration

-Diffusion attention backends can be configured three ways, in priority order:
+Backend selection is resolved in this order:

-1. **`--diffusion-attention-config`** — structured per-role config (highest priority).
-2. **`--diffusion-attention-backend` / `DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND` env var** — global shorthand that sets the default backend.
-3. **Platform default** — used when nothing is configured.
+1. `--diffusion-attention-config` per-role configuration.
+2. `--diffusion-attention-backend` or `DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND` as a
+   global default.
+3. The current platform's default.

-`--diffusion-attention-backend` is shorthand for `--diffusion-attention-config.default.backend`. It may be combined with `--diffusion-attention-config.per_role.*` overrides, but is mutually exclusive with `--diffusion-attention-config.default.backend`.
+`--diffusion-attention-backend` is shorthand for
+`--diffusion-attention-config.default.backend`. Do not pass it together with an
+explicit `default.backend` in the structured configuration.

 ### Global default

-Set the default backend for every diffusion attention layer:
-
 ```bash
-# CLI flag
-vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend SAGE_ATTN
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend FLASH_ATTN

-# Environment variable (also recognized for backwards compatibility)
-export DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SAGE_ATTN
+# Backwards-compatible environment variable
+export DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN
 ```

 ### Per-role configuration

-Roles are free-form strings declared by each diffusion model. The two common categories are `"self"` and `"cross"`; model-specific roles (e.g. `"ltx2.audio_to_video"`) may also be declared. A role string is matched in this order:
+Roles are declared by each diffusion model. Common categories are `self` and
+`cross`; a model may also use a more specific role such as
+`ltx2.audio_to_video`. Resolution order is:

-1. Exact `per_role[role]` match
-2. `per_role[role_category]` fallback (e.g. `"ltx2.audio_to_video"` → `"cross"`)
-3. `default`
-4. Platform default
-
-Use vLLM-style dotted flags or one JSON blob:
+1. Exact `per_role[role]` match.
+2. Category `per_role[role_category]` match.
+3. `default`.
+4. Platform default.

 ```bash
 # Dotted flags
 vllm-omni serve <model> \
-    --diffusion-attention-config.default.backend FLASH_ATTN \
-    --diffusion-attention-config.per_role.cross.backend TORCH_SDPA
+  --diffusion-attention-config.default.backend FLASH_ATTN \
+  --diffusion-attention-config.per_role.cross.backend TORCH_SDPA

-# JSON
+# Equivalent JSON
 vllm-omni serve <model> \
-    --diffusion-attention-config '{"default":{"backend":"FLASH_ATTN"},"per_role":{"cross":{"backend":"TORCH_SDPA"}}}'
+  --diffusion-attention-config \
+  '{"default":{"backend":"FLASH_ATTN"},"per_role":{"cross":{"backend":"TORCH_SDPA"}}}'
 ```

-A backend that needs configuration exposes it as a typed field on the spec:
-`TRTLLM_ATTN`'s Skip-Softmax (see [below](#trtllm_attn-backend-and-skip-softmax)) and
-`RAINFUSION_ATTN`'s RainFusion block (see [below](#rainfusion_attn-backend-and-block-sparse-video-attention)):
-
-```bash
--diffusion-attention-config.default.backend TRTLLM_ATTN \
--diffusion-attention-config.default.skip_softmax.target_sparsity 0.5
-```
-
-### Programmatic API
-
-When constructing `OmniDiffusionConfig` directly:
+### Python API

 ```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import AttentionConfig, AttentionSpec, AttnQuantSpec, OmniDiffusionConfig
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import (
+    AttentionConfig,
+    AttentionSpec,
+    OmniDiffusionConfig,
+)

 config = OmniDiffusionConfig(
    diffusion_attention_config=AttentionConfig(
        default=AttentionSpec(backend="FLASH_ATTN"),
-        per_role={
-            "cross": AttentionSpec(backend="TORCH_SDPA"),
-        },
+        per_role={"cross": AttentionSpec(backend="TORCH_SDPA")},
    ),
    ...,
 )
 ```

-A plain dict is also accepted and normalized to `AttentionConfig`.
+Backend-specific typed blocks are documented with their consumers:

-#### FlashInfer QK16/V8 quantized attention
+- `quant`: [FlashInfer](attention_backends/dense_backends.md#flashinfer-quantized-attention)
+  and [TRTLLM SAGE](attention_backends/trtllm.md#sage-quantization).
+- `skip_softmax`: [TRTLLM Skip-Softmax](attention_backends/trtllm.md#skip-softmax).
+- `block_sparse`: [RainFusion](attention_backends/rainfusion.md#configuration).

-`FLASHINFER_ATTN` accepts quantization options through `AttentionSpec.quant`. For QK16/V8:
-
-```python
-config = OmniDiffusionConfig(
-    diffusion_attention_config=AttentionConfig(
-        default=AttentionSpec(
-            backend="FLASHINFER_ATTN",
-            quant=AttnQuantSpec(
-                dtype_qk="bfloat16",
-                dtype_vo="fp8_e4m3",
-            ),
-        ),
-    ),
-    ...,
-)
-```
-
-`dtype_qk` configures the Q and K input dtypes. `dtype_vo` configures the V input dtype.

-## Platform Defaults
+## Platform defaults

 ### Blackwell (sm_100 / sm_103 / sm_120 / sm_121)

-Auto-route preference, in order:
+The CUDA auto-route preference is:

-1. `TRTLLM_ATTN` — on **datacenter** Blackwell (sm_100 / sm_103) when `flashinfer` is installed, the model's `head_dim` is 128, **and the model declares a compatible packed/mask-free path**
-2. `CUDNN_ATTN` — when cuDNN ≥ 9.5 is available (ships in PyTorch 2.5+ wheels)
-3. `FLASHINFER_ATTN` — when `flashinfer` is installed but cuDNN < 9.5
-4. `FLASH_ATTN` — when `flash-attn` is installed with the Blackwell CUTE kernel
-5. `TORCH_SDPA` — last resort
+1. `TRTLLM_ATTN` on datacenter Blackwell (sm_100/sm_103) when FlashInfer is
+   available, `head_dim=128`, and the model declares a compatible packed or
+   mask-free path.
+2. `CUDNN_ATTN` when cuDNN 9.5 or newer is available.
+3. `FLASHINFER_ATTN` when FlashInfer is available but cuDNN is too old.
+4. `FLASH_ATTN` when a compatible package is installed.
+5. `TORCH_SDPA`.

-`TRTLLM_ATTN` is skipped on workstation Blackwell (sm_120 / sm_121) and for any `head_dim != 128`, so those GPUs keep the `CUDNN_ATTN` route described below.
+`TRTLLM_ATTN` is not auto-selected on workstation Blackwell
+(sm_120/sm_121), for other head dimensions, or for paths that require an
+unsupported mask.

-`TRTLLM_ATTN` outranks `CUDNN_ATTN` on datacenter Blackwell for compatible packed/mask-free pipelines. Workstation Blackwell (sm_120 / sm_121) and pipelines that require attention masks retain their normal fallback.
+### Hopper, Ada, and Ampere

-The startup log line `Defaulting to diffusion attention backend CUDNN_ATTN (Blackwell sm_120, cuDNN 91002)` confirms the route.
+The CUDA auto-route uses `FLASH_ATTN` when available and otherwise falls back
+to `TORCH_SDPA`. `CUDNN_ATTN` and `FLASHINFER_ATTN` remain explicit options.

-**Why CUDNN_ATTN by default**: on mask-heavy diffusion models (HunyuanVideo-1.5, Qwen-Image), cuDNN's pinned FMHA kernel sidesteps a PyTorch SDPA dispatch quirk where the unpinned dispatcher picks `EFFICIENT_ATTENTION` (~25 ms) for masked calls instead of cuDNN (~11 ms). The pin gives 2× e2e on HV-1.5 with no regression on lighter models.
+Other platforms validate an explicit backend and choose their own default
+through the platform implementation. Check the startup log to confirm the
+resolved backend.

-### Hopper (sm_90) / Ada (sm_89) / Ampere (sm_80–sm_86)
+## Choosing a backend manually

-Auto-route preference:
+Override the platform default when you need:

-1. `FLASH_ATTN` — when `flash-attn` is installed
-2. `TORCH_SDPA` — fallback
+- a correctness reference (`TORCH_SDPA`);
+- a backend-specific workaround;
+- training/rollout kernel alignment (Hub backends); or
+- an explicitly validated sparse or quantized speedup.

-`CUDNN_ATTN` and `FLASHINFER_ATTN` are still selectable via env var on these GPUs but are not in the auto-route — FlashAttention 2 is the well-tuned path on pre-Blackwell hardware.
+The startup log prints the resolved backend and whether it came from explicit
+configuration or platform defaulting. If no resolution message appears, check
+earlier logs for diffusion-stage initialization failures.

-## TRTLLM_ATTN Backend and Skip-Softmax
+## Reference benchmark

-`TRTLLM_ATTN` runs FlashInfer's trtllm-gen FMHA. Dense it is a BF16 backend like the others; on top of
-that it can enable **Skip-Softmax**, a sparse-attention mode that trades a little fidelity for speed
-(algorithm: [design doc](../../design/feature/skip_softmax.md)).
+The following BF16 results were measured on an sm_120 RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell
+with the same prompt and seed across runs. Treat them as reference results, not
+portable guarantees.

-Enable it through the typed `skip_softmax` block on the attention spec:
-
-| Key | Valid values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `target_sparsity` | finite, `[0, 1]` | Operating point on a calibrated curve. Needs a calibration for the model. |
-| `threshold` | finite, `≥ 0` | Direct threshold, no calibration needed. Mutually exclusive with `target_sparsity`. |
-| `disabled_until_timestep` | finite, `[0, 1]` | Holds early, high-noise steps dense; skip turns on once the normalized timestep `t ≤ D`. |
-
-```bash
-vllm-omni serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
-  --diffusion-attention-config '{"default": {"backend": "TRTLLM_ATTN",
-      "skip_softmax": {"target_sparsity": 0.65, "disabled_until_timestep": 0.86}}}'
-```
-
-Programmatically the same block is a typed `SkipSoftmaxSpec` (values validated at construction):
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import AttentionConfig, AttentionSpec, SkipSoftmaxSpec
-
-AttentionConfig(
-    default=AttentionSpec(
-        backend="TRTLLM_ATTN",
-        skip_softmax=SkipSoftmaxSpec(target_sparsity=0.65, disabled_until_timestep=0.86),
-    ),
-)
-```
-
-**Start at `target_sparsity=0.65, disabled_until_timestep=0.86`** and raise `target_sparsity` only
-as far as your quality bar allows — the output diverges from dense as it climbs. The gain grows with
-sequence length, since Skip-Softmax only accelerates attention. Dense BF16 is `TRTLLM_ATTN` with no
-`skip_softmax` block.
-
-Requires datacenter Blackwell with `head_dim == 128`; elsewhere, or without FlashInfer, selecting
-`TRTLLM_ATTN` raises rather than silently degrading.
-
-## TRTLLM_ATTN SAGE Quantization
-
-On top of dense/Skip-Softmax, `TRTLLM_ATTN` can run **SAGE** (SageAttention) — the trtllm-gen
-FMHA kernel with per-block quantized Q/K and per-channel fp8 V, so the two attention matmuls run
-in low precision. Enable it through the typed `quant` block on the attention spec:
-
-| Key | Valid values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `dtype_qk` | `int8`, `fp8_e4m3` | Quantization dtype for Q and K. Absent ⇒ dense (SAGE off). |
-| `q_block_size` | `1`, `4`, `16` | Per-token block size for Q scales (default `1`). |
-| `k_block_size` | `1`, `4`, `16` | Per-token block size for K scales (default `16`). |
-
-V is always quantized per-channel to fp8_e4m3 and K-smoothing is applied inside the routine, so
-neither is a user knob. Only block sizes `1`, `4`, `16` have compiled kernels.
-
-The `quant` block is a shared `AttnQuantSpec` consumed by more than one backend; each reads the
-fields that apply and rejects the rest. `TRTLLM_ATTN` (SAGE) reads `dtype_qk` (`int8` / `fp8_e4m3`),
-`q_block_size`, and `k_block_size`; `FLASHINFER_ATTN` reads `dtype_qk` (`float16` / `bfloat16`),
-`dtype_vo`, and `flashinfer_backend` (see its section). A `dtype_qk` from the wrong set raises.
-
-```bash
-vllm-omni serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
-  --diffusion-attention-config '{"default": {"backend": "TRTLLM_ATTN",
-      "quant": {"dtype_qk": "fp8_e4m3", "q_block_size": 1, "k_block_size": 16}}}'
-```
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import AttentionConfig, AttentionSpec, AttnQuantSpec
-
-AttentionConfig(
-    default=AttentionSpec(
-        backend="TRTLLM_ATTN",
-        quant=AttnQuantSpec(dtype_qk="fp8_e4m3", q_block_size=1, k_block_size=16),
-    ),
-)
-```
-
-**Requirements.** Needs FlashInfer ≥ 0.6.16rc1. Kernel
-availability is arch-dependent: `fp8_e4m3` QK has kernels on both **SM100** (B200) and **SM103**
-(B300); `int8` QK kernels are compiled for **SM100 only**.
-
-## RAINFUSION_ATTN Backend and Block-Sparse Video Attention
-
-`RAINFUSION_ATTN` runs MindIE-SD's RainFusion (`rf_v2`) kernel on Ascend NPU. It pools each
-128-token block of keys, ranks them per query block, and computes attention against only the
-top-scoring ones. Video tokens are rearranged into `(t, h, w)` order first, so the kept blocks are
-spatiotemporal neighbours rather than arbitrary rows of the packed sequence.
-
-Only the video segment is sparsified. The prefix rows (text, visual conditions, audio) and the
-first-frame blocks are always kept dense, which is why the realized sparsity is lower than the
-nominal `sparsity` you configure. Anything the kernel cannot handle — a warmup denoise step, an
-exempt layer, a sequence with no published video geometry, a video segment under 32 blocks —
-delegates to `FLASH_ATTN`, so a model can select this backend unconditionally.
-
-Enable it through the typed `block_sparse` block on the attention spec, shared by every
-block-sparse backend:
-
-| Key | Valid values | Meaning |
-|---|---|---|
-| `sparsity` | finite, `[0, 1]` | Nominal fraction of key blocks dropped per query block. `0` disables sparsity. Defaults to `0.8`. |
-| `start_step` | `≥ 0` | Keep the first N denoise steps dense. Layout is decided early, so these steps dominate structural fidelity. |
-| `skip_layers` | index selector, e.g. `"0-3,38"` | DiT blocks that always stay dense. |
-
-```bash
-vllm-omni serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 \
-  --diffusion-attention-config '{"default": {"backend": "RAINFUSION_ATTN",
-      "block_sparse": {"sparsity": 0.8, "start_step": 0}}}'
-```
-
-Programmatically the same block is a typed `BlockSparseSpec` (values validated at construction):
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import AttentionConfig, AttentionSpec, BlockSparseSpec
-
-AttentionConfig(
-    default=AttentionSpec(
-        backend="RAINFUSION_ATTN",
-        block_sparse=BlockSparseSpec(sparsity=0.8, start_step=0, skip_layers="0-1"),
-    ),
-)
-```
-
-**Tune in the order `start_step` → `sparsity` → `skip_layers`.** Raise `start_step` first: it is the
-cheapest way to recover structure, because the early high-noise steps decide global layout while the
-later steps only refine texture. Then walk `sparsity` up to your quality bar. Reach for
-`skip_layers` last, once an A/B against dense at the same seed points at specific blocks.
-
-Requires Ascend NPU with `mindiesd`; selecting it on any other platform raises. It is also
-incompatible with ring sequence parallelism, since `rf_v2` needs the whole key sequence to rank
-blocks — use Ulysses SP (`ring_degree=1`).
-
-### Which geometries run sparse
-
-MindIE-SD rf_v2 handles arbitrary video grids by spatially rearranging video first and, when
-necessary, promoting a real-video suffix to its always-kept prefix segment. It never pads: rf_v2
-does not consume an attention mask for padded keys. The remaining video rows stay sparse, while the
-promoted rows remain visible to every query and key.
-
-For example, MiniMax-H3 at 1344x768 has grid `(62, 24, 42)`: its 62496 video rows leave a 32-row
-128-block residue, and its two non-8-wide latent columns form a 2928-row rearranged suffix.
-MindIE-SD promotes 2976 rows, leaving 59520 sparse rows (`465 × 128`). This keeps the block mask
-and kernel tiling aligned, at the cost of retaining more blocks.
-
-8x8-aligned spatial grids remain preferable for performance. A latent `h` or `w` not divisible by 8
-creates an always-kept residual suffix and lowers realized sparsity. "Multiple of 8" on the latent
-grid means **width and height that are multiples of 256**. This path requires a MindIE-SD release
-that implements protected video tails for rf_v2.
-
-## End-to-End Benchmark (BF16, sm_120 RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell)

-## Known Limitations
+## Compatibility anchors

-### LTX-2.0: `CUDNN_ATTN` crashes under torch.compile
+The following headings preserve links to sections that moved into dedicated
+guides.

-LTX-2's audio attention has a symbolic head_dim under torch.compile tracing. cuDNN's SDPA backend selector rejects symbolic dims and Dynamo aborts compilation. Tracked in [#3121](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/3121).
+## TRTLLM_ATTN Backend and Skip-Softmax

-**Workaround**: explicitly select `FLASHINFER_ATTN` or `TORCH_SDPA` for LTX-2.0:
+See [TRTLLM Attention](attention_backends/trtllm.md#skip-softmax).

-```bash
-DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASHINFER_ATTN python examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video.py \
-    --model Lightricks/LTX-2 ...
-```
+## TRTLLM_ATTN SAGE Quantization

-### FlashAttention-4 on Blackwell
+See [TRTLLM Attention](attention_backends/trtllm.md#sage-quantization).

-Install the optional CUDA 13 extra to use the CuTe-based FA4 path:
+## RAINFUSION_ATTN Backend and Block-Sparse Video Attention

-```bash
-pip install 'vllm-omni[fa4]'
-```
-
-`FLASH_ATTN` prefers `flash_attn.cute` on Blackwell and falls back to FA3/FA2
-when it is unavailable. Version `4.0.0b18` is required; earlier beta
-wheels had known JIT failures on Blackwell.
-
-## Choosing a Backend Manually
-
-### When to override the default
-
- **Quality validation**: compare a new backend against `TORCH_SDPA` as the reference, since SDPA's default dispatcher is the most extensively tested.
- **Lossy speedup hunting**: try `SAGE_ATTN` (INT8 quantized) on diffusion outputs — typically indistinguishable visually but always validate.
- **Workaround for known issues**: see Known Limitations above.
-
-### Verifying which backend is in use
-
-The startup log prints one of:
-
-```
-Using diffusion attention backend 'CUDNN_ATTN'           # explicit override
-Defaulting to diffusion attention backend CUDNN_ATTN ... # auto-route
-Defaulting to diffusion attention backend SDPA           # nothing else available
-```
-
-If you don't see one of these, the model didn't reach diffusion stage init — check earlier logs for failures.
+See [RainFusion](attention_backends/rainfusion.md).

 ## SageAttention Installation

-vLLM-Omni expects SageAttention to be installed into the same Python environment as vLLM-Omni.
-
-Build from source:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/thu-ml/SageAttention.git
-cd SageAttention
-
-export EXT_PARALLEL=4 NVCC_APPEND_FLAGS="--threads 8" MAX_JOBS=32
-pip install . --no-build-isolation
-```
-
-Quick check:
-
-```bash
-python -c "import sageattention; print(sageattention.__file__)"
-```
+See [SageAttention](attention_backends/sage.md#installation).

 ## SageAttention3 Installation

-vLLM-Omni expects SageAttention3 to be installed into the same Python environment as vLLM-Omni.
-
-Build from source:
-
-```bash
-git clone https://github.com/thu-ml/SageAttention.git
-cd SageAttention/sageattention3_blackwell
-python setup.py install
-```
-
-Quick check:
-
-```bash
-python -c "import sageattn3; print(sageattn3.__file__)"
-```
-
-Notes:
-
- `SAGE_ATTN_3` is only selected on CUDA when `sageattn3` is importable and the GPU is Blackwell-class.
- SageAttention3's Blackwell kernel assumes `Hq == Hkv`. In vLLM-Omni, GQA/MQA diffusion requests fall back to PyTorch SDPA for correctness.
+See [SageAttention](attention_backends/sage.md#sageattention3-installation).

 ## HuggingFace Kernels Hub Backends

-To achieve perfect numerical consistency between **training** (typically using HuggingFace Diffusers with Hub kernels) and **serving/rollout** (using vLLM-Omni), you can use the Hub-based attention backends. This eliminates numerical drift / sampling divergence caused by executing different local kernel versions during rollout.
-
-The following backend options are supported:
- `FLASH_ATTN_HUB` (HuggingFace `kernels-community/flash-attn2`)
- `FLASH_ATTN_3_HUB` (HuggingFace `kernels-community/flash-attn3`, Hopper sm_90+ only)
-
-### Installation
-
-To use these backends, you must install the `kernels` library:
-
-```bash
-pip install kernels==0.14.1
-```
-
-If the `kernels` library is not available in the environment, vLLM-Omni will log a warning and fall back gracefully to the corresponding local backend implementations (`FLASH_ATTN`). On CUDA GPUs below Hopper (compute capability < 9.0), `FLASH_ATTN_3_HUB` falls back to `FLASH_ATTN_HUB`.
-
-### Usage
-
-Select a Hub backend using the global CLI flag or environment variables:
-
-```bash
-# Environment variable
-export DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN_HUB
-
-# CLI flag
-vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend FLASH_ATTN_HUB
-```
-
-## Usage Examples
-
-### Default (auto-route)
-
-```bash
-python examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video.py \
-    --model hunyuanvideo-community/HunyuanVideo-1.5-Diffusers-480p_t2v \
-    --prompt "A dog running across a field of golden wheat." \
-    --height 480 --width 832 --num-frames 33 \
-    --num-inference-steps 50 --seed 42 --guidance-scale 6.0 \
-    --output hv15.mp4
-```
-
-On Blackwell this picks `CUDNN_ATTN` automatically. Check the log for the `Defaulting to ...` line.
-
-### Explicit backend selection

+# Dense Attention Backends
+
+Use these backends when you want dense attention without backend-specific
+sparsity. Start with `TORCH_SDPA` for correctness comparisons, then benchmark
+the fastest compatible kernel for your model, shape, and hardware.
+
+For selection precedence and per-role configuration, see the
+[attention backend overview](../attention_backends.md).
+
+## `TORCH_SDPA`
+
+`TORCH_SDPA` calls PyTorch `scaled_dot_product_attention` and lets PyTorch's
+dispatcher choose the implementation. It is always available and is the most
+conservative reference when validating another backend.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend TORCH_SDPA
+```
+
+## `FLASH_ATTN`
+
+`FLASH_ATTN` uses the installed FlashAttention implementation. On Blackwell it
+prefers the CuTe-based FlashAttention 4 path and falls back to
+FlashAttention 3 or 2 when that path is unavailable. On Hopper, Ada, and
+Ampere it is the preferred automatic route when a compatible package is
+installed.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend FLASH_ATTN
+```
+
+### FlashAttention 4 on Blackwell
+
+Install the optional CUDA 13 extra:
+
+```bash
+pip install 'vllm-omni[fa4]'
+```
+
+Version `4.0.0b18` is required; earlier beta wheels had known JIT failures on
+Blackwell. If the CuTe path is unavailable, the backend falls back to the
+compatible FlashAttention 3 or 2 path.
+
+## `CUDNN_ATTN`
+
+`CUDNN_ATTN` pins PyTorch SDPA to `CUDNN_ATTENTION`. It is particularly useful
+for mask-heavy DiTs and is automatically preferred on Blackwell when cuDNN
+9.5 or newer is available and the higher-priority TRTLLM route is not
+compatible.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend CUDNN_ATTN
+```
+
+### LTX-2.0 limitation
+
+LTX-2 audio attention has a symbolic head dimension during `torch.compile`
+tracing. The cuDNN SDPA selector rejects that symbolic dimension and Dynamo
+aborts compilation. This is tracked in
+[issue #3121](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/issues/3121).
+
+Use `FLASHINFER_ATTN` or `TORCH_SDPA` as a workaround:
+
+```bash
+DIFFUSION_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASHINFER_ATTN \
+  python examples/offline_inference/text_to_video/text_to_video.py \
+  --model Lightricks/LTX-2 ...
+```
+
+## `FLASHINFER_ATTN`
+
+`FLASHINFER_ATTN` uses FlashInfer's batch-prefill wrapper. It is an explicit
+option on CUDA platforms and an automatic Blackwell fallback when FlashInfer
+is installed but cuDNN is too old for `CUDNN_ATTN`.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend FLASHINFER_ATTN
+```
+
+### FlashInfer quantized attention
+
+The backend accepts an `AttentionSpec.quant` block. For QK16/V8, keep Q and K
+in FP16 or BF16 and use FP8 E4M3 for V:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import (
+    AttentionConfig,
+    AttentionSpec,
+    AttnQuantSpec,
+    OmniDiffusionConfig,
+)
+
+config = OmniDiffusionConfig(
+    diffusion_attention_config=AttentionConfig(
+        default=AttentionSpec(
+            backend="FLASHINFER_ATTN",
+            quant=AttnQuantSpec(

+            ),
+        ),
+    ),
+    ...,
+)
+```
+
+`dtype_qk` controls Q and K; `dtype_vo` controls V. Mixed-dtype
+configurations require FlashInfer 0.6.16rc1 or newer. The shared quantization
+schema is also consumed by TRTLLM, but each backend validates its own allowed
+fields and values; see [TRTLLM SAGE quantization](trtllm.md#sage-quantization).

+# RainFusion Attention
+
+`RAINFUSION_ATTN` runs MindIE-SD RainFusion (`rf_v2`) block-sparse video
+attention on Ascend NPU. It pools 128-token key blocks, ranks them per query
+block, and attends to the highest-scoring blocks after arranging video tokens
+in `(t, h, w)` order.
+
+Only the video segment is sparse. Prefix rows such as text, visual conditions,
+and audio, plus first-frame blocks, remain dense. Unsupported calls—including
+warmup steps, skipped layers, missing video geometry, and video segments below
+32 blocks—delegate to `FLASH_ATTN`, so compatible models can select RainFusion
+globally.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Key | Valid values | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `sparsity` | finite, `[0, 1]` | Nominal dropped-key-block fraction; default `0.8`; `0` disables sparsity |
+| `start_step` | integer, `>= 0` | Number of early denoise steps kept dense |
+| `skip_layers` | selector such as `"0-3,38"` | DiT blocks kept dense |
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-H3 \
+  --diffusion-attention-config '{"default":{"backend":"RAINFUSION_ATTN",\
+    "block_sparse":{"sparsity":0.8,"start_step":0}}}'
+```
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import AttentionConfig, AttentionSpec, BlockSparseSpec
+
+config = AttentionConfig(
+    default=AttentionSpec(
+        backend="RAINFUSION_ATTN",
+        block_sparse=BlockSparseSpec(
+            sparsity=0.8,
+            start_step=0,
+            skip_layers="0-1",
+        ),
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+Tune `start_step`, then `sparsity`, then `skip_layers`. Increasing the dense
+early-step window is usually the cheapest way to recover global structure;
+use layer exclusions only after a same-seed dense comparison identifies
+sensitive blocks.
+
+## Requirements and compatibility
+
+RainFusion requires Ascend NPU and `mindiesd`. Selecting it on another
+platform raises. It is incompatible with ring sequence parallelism because
+the kernel needs the complete key sequence for ranking; use Ulysses sequence
+parallelism with `ring_degree=1`.
+
+## Geometry handling
+
+RainFusion handles arbitrary video grids by rearranging video spatially and,
+when necessary, promoting a real-video suffix to the always-kept prefix. It
+does not pad because `rf_v2` does not consume a padding attention mask.
+
+For MiniMax-H3 at 1344x768, grid `(62, 24, 42)` produces 62,496 video rows.
+The implementation promotes 2,976 rows and leaves 59,520 sparse rows
+(`465 x 128`) so the mask and kernel tiling remain aligned.
+
+Spatial grids aligned to 8x8 are still preferable. A latent height or width
+not divisible by 8 creates an always-kept suffix and reduces realized
+sparsity. At the image level, that means width and height divisible by 256.
+Protected video tails require a compatible MindIE-SD release.

+BF16 attention plus optional Skip-Softmax sparsity or SAGE quantization.
+
+For common selection and per-role configuration, see the
+[attention backend overview](../attention_backends.md).
+
+## Requirements
+
+Selecting `TRTLLM_ATTN` requires:
+
+- datacenter Blackwell, sm_100 or sm_103;
+- `head_dim=128`;
+- FlashInfer; and
+- a model-declared packed or mask-free compatible path.
+
+It is not supported on workstation Blackwell (sm_120/sm_121). An incompatible
+explicit selection raises instead of silently changing the backend.
+
+## Dense mode
+
+Select `TRTLLM_ATTN` without `skip_softmax` or `quant` to run dense BF16:
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve <model> --diffusion-attention-backend TRTLLM_ATTN

+## Skip-Softmax
+
+Skip-Softmax trades some fidelity for speed by skipping low-contribution
+attention work. See the [feature design](../../../design/feature/skip_softmax.md)
+for the algorithm and implementation contract.

+| `threshold` | finite, `>= 0` | Direct threshold; mutually exclusive with `target_sparsity` |

+```
+
+Start with `target_sparsity=0.65` and `disabled_until_timestep=0.86`. Increase
+sparsity only after comparing quality against dense output at the same seed.
+The benefit grows with sequence length because only attention is accelerated.
+
+## SAGE quantization
+
+TRTLLM SAGE quantizes Q/K per block and V per channel so both attention
+matrix multiplications use low precision.
+
+| Key | Valid values | Meaning |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `dtype_qk` | `int8`, `fp8_e4m3` | Q/K quantization dtype; absent means dense |
+| `q_block_size` | `1`, `4`, `16` | Q scale block size; default `1` |
+| `k_block_size` | `1`, `4`, `16` | K scale block size; default `16` |
+
+V is always quantized per channel to FP8 E4M3 and K-smoothing is internal.
+Only block sizes with compiled kernels are accepted.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \

 # CPU Offloading for Diffusion Models

-## Overview
+vLLM-Omni provides three CPU-offload strategies for diffusion models. Choose
+the coarsest strategy that meets your memory target: finer-grained streaming
+saves more device memory but adds more transfer and setup overhead.

-vLLM-Omni provides two offloading strategies to reduce GPU memory usage for diffusion models:
+For the shared factory, discovery, and lifecycle contract, see the
+[CPU Offloading design](../../design/feature/offloader/README.md).

-1. **Model-level (Sequential) Offloading**: Mutual exclusion between DiT model and encoder - only one is on GPU at a time.
-2. **Layerwise (Blockwise) Offloading**: Keeps only one transformer block on GPU at a time with compute-memory overlap.
+## Choose a strategy

-Both strategies use pinned memory for faster CPU-GPU transfers. The strategies are **mutually exclusive** for now - if both are enabled, layerwise takes priority.
+| Strategy | Device residency | Parallel scope | Guide |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| Model-level (sequential) | One pipeline component group at a time | Single device | [Model-Level Offloading](offloader/cpu_offload.md) |
+| Layerwise (blockwise) | One transformer block, with next-block prefetch | Single device | [Layerwise Offloading](offloader/layerwise_offload.md) |
+| Distributed layerwise | Fixed two-block device buffer; optional host-weight sharding and AllGather | Multiple GPU/NPU ranks | [Distributed Layerwise Offloading](offloader/distributed_layerwise_offload.md) |

+All strategies use pinned host memory for faster transfers where applicable.
+Configuration priority is:
+
+1. Distributed layerwise offloading.
+2. Layerwise offloading.
+3. Model-level offloading.
+
+Treat the flags as mutually exclusive. If more than one is enabled, the
+higher-priority strategy is selected.
+
+## Quick selection
+
+- Use [model-level offloading](offloader/cpu_offload.md) when swapping whole
+  encoders and DiTs is enough to fit and phase-boundary transfers are

 ## Model-level (Sequential) Offloading

-### How It Works
-
-Model-level offloading implements mutual exclusion between DiT transformer and encoder modules using pre forward hooks:
-
- **When encoders run**: DiT transformer is offloaded to CPU
- **When DiT runs**: Encoders are offloaded to CPU, if more than one dit models, only one loaded on GPU, others get offloaded to CPU.
- **VAE**: Stays resident on GPU
-
-Before each module's forward pass, the hook automatically moves it to GPU while offloading the other module group to CPU. Transfers use pinned memory for speed.
-
-### Usage
-
-**Python API:**
-```python
-from vllm_omni import Omni
-
-m = Omni(model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers", enable_cpu_offload=True)
-```
-
-**CLI:**
-```bash
-vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers --omni --enable-cpu-offload
-```
-
-### To Support a Model
-
-Implement the `SupportsComponentDiscovery` protocol to declare which
-submodules serve as pipeline components (used by offloading, HSDP
-sharding, and other framework features):
-
-```python
-from typing import ClassVar
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportsComponentDiscovery
-
-class MyPipeline(nn.Module, SupportsComponentDiscovery):
-    _dit_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["transformer"]
-    _encoder_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["text_encoder", "vision_model"]
-    _vae_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["vae"]
-    _resident_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = []  # optional
-
-    def __init__(self):
-        super().__init__()
-        self.transformer = ...     # DiT — stays on GPU during denoising
-        self.text_encoder = ...    # Encoder — offloaded to CPU during denoising
-        self.vision_model = ...    # Encoder — offloaded to CPU during denoising
-        self.vae = ...             # VAE — always on GPU
-```
-
- `_dit_modules`: attribute names of denoising submodules (kept on GPU
-  during the diffusion loop).
- `_encoder_modules`: attribute names of encoder/vision submodules
-  (offloaded to CPU during the diffusion loop).
- `_vae_modules`: attribute names of VAE(s) (always kept on GPU, not
-  part of the mutual exclusion hooks).
- `_resident_modules`: attribute names of small submodules that must
-  stay on GPU during layerwise offloading (e.g. embedders, connectors).
-  Optional — defaults to `[]`.
-
-All attribute names support dotted paths for nested submodules
-(e.g. `"pipe.transformer"`, `"bagel.time_embedder"`).
-
-Both DiT and encoder lists are needed because the offload hooks use
-mutual exclusion: when one group runs, the other moves to CPU.
-
-### Limitations
- Cold start latency increases
- Adds overhead from CPU-GPU transfers between encoder and denoising phases
- Support single GPU only for now
-
-
-### Component offloading for split models (e.g. Cosmos3)
-
-Some models split their transformer into mutually-exclusive *components* that run
-in different phases of a single forward pass rather than as separate pipeline
-components -- e.g. Cosmos3's understanding (reasoner) component runs once per
-generation while the generation (generator) component runs every denoising step.
-Such models have no separate text encoder to swap against, so the transformer
-owns a small model-local offload path and wraps each phase with
-`with self._offload_context(name):`
-
-```python
-class Cosmos3VFMTransformer(nn.Module):
-    def forward(self, ...):
-        with self._offload_context("reasoner"):
-            ...  # understanding pass, runs once
-        with self._offload_context("generator"):
-            ...  # denoising pass, runs every step
-```
-
-Model-level offloading then keeps exactly one component GPU-resident at a time
-(the other on CPU), reusing the same `SequentialOffloadHook` `.to()` movers. The
-pipeline opts in by exposing `enable_omni_model_cpu_offload` (which drives the
-transformer's `enable_model_cpu_offload` and pins the VAE). Layerwise offloading
-works for these models too -- each component declares its own block container via
-`_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs`.
-
+See [Model-Level Offloading](offloader/cpu_offload.md).

 ## Layerwise (Blockwise) Offloading

-### How It Works
-
-Layerwise offloading keeps only one transformer block on GPU at a time.
-
-As each block completes, the next block is prefetched to GPU while the current block is freed. The pre and forward hooks utilized by layerwise offloading apply a separate CUDA stream (`copy_stream`) to overlap weight transfer with computation, and retain flattened tensors in pinned CPU memory for block parameters re-materialization. Encoders, VAE, and non-block DiT modules (embeddings, norms) always stay on GPU.
-
-**Execution Flow:**
-
-| Block | Pre-forward Hook | Forward | Post-forward Hook |
-|-------|------------------|---------|-------------------|
-| block-0 | Prefetch block-1 (async) | Compute block-0 | Free block-0 |
-| block-1 | Prefetch block-2 (async) | Compute block-1 | Free block-1 |
-| ... | ... | ... | ... |
-| block-(n-1) | **Prefetch block-0** (async) | Compute block-(n-1) | Free block-(n-1) |
-
-Each transformer block has a `LayerwiseOffloadHook` that prefetches the next block before forward and frees the current block after forward.
-
-Layerwise offloading is primarily recommended for large **video generation models** where the compute cost per block is high enough to effectively overlap with memory prefetch operations. For example, Wan2.2 T2V and I2V pipelines.
-
-### Usage
-
-**Python API:**
-```python
-from vllm_omni import Omni
-
-# Text-to-video
-m = Omni(model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers", enable_layerwise_offload=True)
-
-# Or image-to-video
-m = Omni(model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers", enable_layerwise_offload=True)
-```
-
-**CLI:**
-```bash
-# Text-to-video
-vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers --omni --enable-layerwise-offload
-
-# Or image-to-video
-vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-I2V-A14B-Diffusers --omni --enable-layerwise-offload
-```
-
-### To Support a Model
-
-Models must define the blocks attribute name for layerwise offloading:
-
-```python
-class WanTransformer3DModel(nn.Module):
-    _layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs = ["blocks"]  # Attribute names containing transformer blocks
-
-    def __init__(self):
-        self.blocks = nn.ModuleList([...])  # Transformer blocks
-```
-
-For models with multiple block types:
-
-```python
-class Flux2Transformer2DModel(nn.Module):
-    _layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs = ["transformer_blocks", "single_transformer_blocks"]
-```
-
-### Limitations
- Cold start latency increases because offloaded components must be moved to CPU
-  during setup; layerwise offload may add extra weight consolidation and pinning
-  work.
- Performance depends on compute cost and H2D bandwidth as well
- Support single GPU only for now
-
+See [Layerwise Offloading](offloader/layerwise_offload.md).

 ## Distributed Layerwise Offloading

-### How It Works
-
-Distributed layerwise offloading extends single-GPU layerwise offloading to
-multi-device deployments. In the default mode, each rank stores only
-**1/dp_size** of the model weights in host memory; full layer weights are
-reconstructed at runtime via **AllGather** on a dedicated communication stream,
-overlapped with computation via a fixed double-buffer scheme. The
-`--dlo-no-use-allgather` mode instead streams standard-loader rank-local
-weights independently and does not shard weights across ranks.
-
-For the implementation design and compatibility matrix, see
-[Distributed Layerwise Offload](../../design/feature/distributed_layerwise_offload.md).
-
-**Key features:**
- **Weight sharding + AllGather**: each rank stores 1/dp_size of weights,
-  reconstructed per-layer via `all_gather_into_tensor`
- **Fixed double-buffer**: exactly 2 transformer blocks on each device at any
-  time, regardless of model size
- **DP multi-concurrency**: N concurrent requests processed in parallel
-  (AllGather only gathers weight shards, which are request-independent)
- **mmap weight loading**: weights loaded as mmap views pointing to shared OS
-  page cache, eliminating O(dp_size × model_size) RSS during model creation
- **Platform-agnostic**: works on NVIDIA GPU (CUDA/NCCL) and Ascend NPU
-  (CANN/HCCL) via vLLM-Omni's platform abstraction
-
-**Execution Flow (per device):**
-
-```
-Compute Stream:  [Layer N]          [Layer N+1]          [Layer N+2]
-H2D Stream:      [H2D Shard N+1]   [H2D Shard N+2]
-AllGather:       [AG N+1]          [AG N+2]
-Slot Usage:      Slot0: Layer N    Slot1: Layer N+1
-```
-
-### Usage
-
-**CLI:**
-```bash
-# 4× GPU/NPU with AllGather (recommended)
-vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \
-  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
-  --data-parallel-size 4
-
-# Without DLO AllGather (each rank streams standard-loader rank-local weights)
-vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \
-  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
-  --data-parallel-size 4 \
-  --dlo-no-use-allgather
-
-# With SP instead of DP (long sequences)
-vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \
-  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
-  --usp 4
-```
-
-**Python API:**
-```python
-from vllm_omni import Omni
-
-m = Omni(
-    model="/path/to/model",
-    enable_distributed_layerwise_offload=True,
-    dlo_use_allgather=True,  # default
-)
-```
-
-### CLI Flags
-
-| Flag | Description | Default |
-|------|-------------|---------|
-| `--enable-distributed-layerwise-offload` | Enable DLO | `false` |
-| `--data-parallel-size N` | Number of DP ranks; DLO weight-sharding group when AllGather is enabled | `1` |
-| `--dlo-use-allgather` | Shard + AllGather (saves CPU, requires concurrent requests) | `true` |
-| `--dlo-no-use-allgather` | Use standard-loader rank-local weights; no DLO sharding or AllGather | `false` |
-
-### How model weights are loaded (mmap path)
-
-When DLO + AllGather is active, the offloader:
-
-1. **Saves non-persistent buffers** (e.g. RoPE `inv_freq`, timestep `freqs`)
-   from the normally-created transformer
-2. **Converts to meta device** via `to_empty(device="meta")`, releasing random
-   initialization weights
-3. **Loads checkpoint weights as mmap views** via `safe_open().get_tensor()`,
-   which return views into the OS page cache (shared across all ranks, 0 RSS)
-4. **Calls `post_load_weights()`** to apply model-specific dtype conversions
-   (e.g. Cosmos3's `time_embedder` → FP32)
-5. **Restores non-persistent buffers** from saved copies
-
-This approach requires **zero model-specific code changes** — no pipeline or
-transformer modifications are needed.
-
-### OffloadPlan (declarative topology metadata)
-
-Models can optionally declare an `OffloadPlan` class variable to provide
-topology metadata (block attribute names, submodules to offload) without
-any offload-specific logic:
-
-```python
-from vllm_omni.diffusion.offloader import OffloadPlan
-
-class MyPipeline(nn.Module):
-    _dit_modules = ["transformer"]
-    _offload_plan = OffloadPlan(
-        block_attrs={"transformer": ("blocks",)},
-        offload_submodules={"context_encoder": "layers"},
-    )
-```
-
-When not declared, the offloader falls back to `_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs`
-and heuristic attribute search.  This is backward-compatible — existing models
-work without any changes.
-
-### DP Multi-concurrency
-
-When `--data-parallel-size > 1` and AllGather is enabled, the scheduler batches
-up to `dp_size` requests per denoise step.  Each DP rank processes a different
-request while AllGather synchronizes only weight shards (request-independent).
-
-**Requirements for concurrent requests:**
- `num_inference_steps` must be specified explicitly (None is not allowed)
- All concurrent requests must have the same `num_inference_steps` value
- These constraints exist because AllGather is a collective that requires
-  every rank to participate at each denoise step
-
-### Limitations
- Online quantization (FP8) is incompatible with mmap loading — falls back to
-  regular loading only when the model is outside the DLO+AllGather mmap path;
-  online quantization with DLO+AllGather is rejected. Use
-  `--dlo-no-use-allgather` or disable online quantization.
- Tensor Parallel > 1 is rejected in the DLO+AllGather mmap path because TP-aware
-  weight-loader callbacks are bypassed. The no-AllGather path retains the
-  standard TP loader and is experimental.
- HSDP + AllGather is rejected because it would double-shard parameters. HSDP
-  with no-AllGather is accepted at configuration level, but has limited
-  end-to-end validation.
- `num_inference_steps=None` is not allowed in DP multi-concurrency mode
-
-**Module Discovery**
-
-The offloader discovers pipeline components in two ways:
-
-1. **Protocol-based** (preferred): If the pipeline implements
-    `SupportsComponentDiscovery`, its `_dit_modules`, `_encoder_modules`,
-    `_vae_modules`, and `_resident_modules` class variables are used
-    directly.  All attribute names support dotted paths (e.g.
-    `"pipe.transformer"`, `"bagel.time_embedder"`) for nested submodules.
-
-2. **Fallback attribute scan**: Otherwise, the offloader scans for
-    well-known attribute names:
-    - **DiT modules**: `transformer`, `transformer_2`, `dit`, `sr_dit`, `language_model`, `transformer_blocks`, `model`
-    - **Encoders**: `text_encoder`, `text_encoder_2`, `text_encoder_3`, `image_encoder`
-    - **VAE**: `vae`, `audio_vae`
-
-**Hook System**
-
-Both strategies use vLLM-Omni's hook registry system (`HookRegistry` and `ModelHook`) to register pre/post forward callbacks on modules, enabling automatic swapping without modifying model code.
-
-**Backend Architecture**
-
-```
-OffloadBackend (base class)
-├── ModelLevelOffloadBackend → uses SequentialOffloadHook (.to() swap)
-│                              (delegates to a pipeline's enable_omni_model_cpu_offload
-│                               for split models like Cosmos3)
-├── LayerWiseOffloadBackend → uses LayerwiseOffloadHook
-│                          (single-GPU, full weights on host)
-└── DistributedLayerwiseOffloadBackend → uses DistributedLayerwiseOffloadHook
-                                         (multi-GPU, sharded AllGather or rank-local mode)
-```
-
-Factory function `get_offload_backend()` selects the appropriate backend based on
-configuration.
-
-For split models, `ModelLevelOffloadBackend.enable()` detects a pipeline's
-`enable_omni_model_cpu_offload` hook and delegates to it; Cosmos3 then swaps its
-reasoner/generator components inside the model forward pass.

+# Model-Level Offloading
+
+Model-level, or sequential, offloading keeps only the pipeline component group
+currently executing on the accelerator. It is the simplest offload strategy
+and is selected with `--enable-cpu-offload`.
+
+## How it works
+
+Pre-forward hooks enforce mutual exclusion between DiT and encoder modules:
+
+- before an encoder runs, the DiT moves to CPU;
+- before a DiT runs, encoders and other DiTs move to CPU; and
+- VAE modules remain on the accelerator.
+
+Pinned host memory reduces transfer overhead. Transfers occur at phase
+boundaries, so cold-start and encoder-to-denoiser transitions become slower.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers",
+    enable_cpu_offload=True,
+)
+```
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
+  --omni --enable-cpu-offload
+```
+
+## Model integration
+
+Pipelines should implement `SupportsComponentDiscovery`:
+
+```python
+from typing import ClassVar
+
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.models.interface import SupportsComponentDiscovery
+
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module, SupportsComponentDiscovery):
+    _dit_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["transformer"]
+    _encoder_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["text_encoder", "vision_model"]
+    _vae_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = ["vae"]
+    _resident_modules: ClassVar[list[str]] = []
+```
+
+All entries may be dotted paths. DiT and encoder lists are both required for
+mutual exclusion. VAE modules are pinned but not swapped; resident modules are
+small modules that must stay on the accelerator for layerwise paths.
+
+## Split-model components
+
+Some models, such as Cosmos3, split one transformer into mutually exclusive
+components that run in different phases. The pipeline exposes
+`enable_omni_model_cpu_offload`, and the backend delegates to the model-local
+contexts:
+
+```python
+class Cosmos3VFMTransformer(nn.Module):
+    def forward(self, ...):
+        with self._offload_context("reasoner"):
+            ...
+        with self._offload_context("generator"):
+            ...
+```
+
+This preserves the same invariant—exactly one component is device resident—
+while reusing sequential `.to()` movers.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Single device only.
+- Higher cold-start latency.
+- Transfers between encoder and denoising phases add latency.
+

+# Distributed Layerwise Offloading
+
+Distributed layerwise offloading (DLO) extends block streaming to multi-device
+deployments. With AllGather enabled, each rank stores roughly `1 / dp_size` of
+the host weights and reconstructs each layer at runtime. Without AllGather,
+each rank streams its standard-loader rank-local weights independently.
+
+See the [DLO feature design](../../../design/feature/offloader/distributed_layerwise_offload.md)
+for the implementation contract and compatibility matrix.
+
+## Execution model
+
+DLO overlaps three operations with a fixed two-block device buffer:
+
+```text
+Compute stream:  [Layer N]          [Layer N+1]        [Layer N+2]
+H2D stream:      [H2D shard N+1]    [H2D shard N+2]
+AllGather:       [AG N+1]           [AG N+2]
+Slots:           slot 0: Layer N    slot 1: Layer N+1
+```
+
+AllGather communicates only request-independent weight shards, so data-
+parallel ranks may process different requests concurrently.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Four ranks with sharded host weights and AllGather
+vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
+  --data-parallel-size 4
+
+# Standard-loader rank-local weights, without DLO AllGather
+vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \
+  --enable-distributed-layerwise-offload \
+  --data-parallel-size 4 \
+  --dlo-no-use-allgather
+
+# Sequence parallel deployment
+vllm serve /path/to/model --omni \

+
+## mmap weight loading
+
+The DLO plus AllGather path:
+
+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;
+4. calls model-specific `post_load_weights()` conversions; and
+5. restores the saved non-persistent buffers.
+
+This avoids one full checkpoint RSS copy per rank and does not require
+model-specific loading code.
+
+## Declarative topology
+
+Models may declare an `OffloadPlan` instead of embedding offload logic:
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.offloader import OffloadPlan
+
+
+class MyPipeline(nn.Module):
+    _dit_modules = ["transformer"]
+    _offload_plan = OffloadPlan(
+        block_attrs={"transformer": ("blocks",)},
+        offload_submodules={"context_encoder": "layers"},
+    )
+```
+
+When no plan exists, discovery falls back to
+`_layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs` and then heuristic attribute lookup.
+
+## Data-parallel concurrency
+
+With `data_parallel_size > 1` and AllGather enabled, the scheduler can process
+up to `dp_size` requests per denoising step. Every concurrent request must set
+the same explicit `num_inference_steps`; `None` is rejected because every rank
+must enter each collective.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Online FP8 quantization is rejected with the DLO plus AllGather mmap path.
+  Use `--dlo-no-use-allgather` or disable online quantization.
+- Tensor parallel size greater than one is rejected in the mmap path because
+  it bypasses TP-aware loader callbacks. The no-AllGather path retains the
+  standard loader and remains experimental with TP.
+- HSDP plus AllGather is rejected to avoid double sharding. HSDP without
+  AllGather has limited end-to-end validation.
+- Resident leading layers require `--dlo-no-use-allgather` and a model
+  `OffloadPlan` that declares eligible `resident_dit_paths`.
+- DP concurrency requires an explicit, identical inference-step count.
+

+# Layerwise Offloading
+
+Layerwise, or blockwise, offloading keeps one transformer block on the
+accelerator and prefetches the next block while the current block computes.
+It is best suited to compute-heavy video DiTs whose block execution can hide
+host-to-device transfers.
+
+## Execution flow
+
+Each block has a pre-forward and post-forward hook. Parameters are consolidated
+in pinned host tensors and rematerialized for execution on a dedicated copy
+stream.
+
+| Block | Pre-forward hook | Forward | Post-forward hook |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| block 0 | Prefetch block 1 | Compute block 0 | Free block 0 |
+| block 1 | Prefetch block 2 | Compute block 1 | Free block 1 |
+| ... | ... | ... | ... |
+| last block | Prefetch block 0 | Compute last block | Free last block |
+
+Encoders, VAE modules, and non-block DiT modules such as embeddings and norms
+remain device resident.
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers",
+    enable_layerwise_offload=True,
+)
+```
+
+```bash
+vllm serve Wan-AI/Wan2.2-T2V-A14B-Diffusers \
+  --omni --enable-layerwise-offload
+```
+
+## Model integration
+
+Transformer classes declare containers of executable blocks:
+
+```python
+class WanTransformer3DModel(nn.Module):
+    _layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs = ["blocks"]
+
+
+class Flux2Transformer2DModel(nn.Module):
+    _layerwise_offload_blocks_attrs = [
+        "transformer_blocks",
+        "single_transformer_blocks",
+    ]
+```
+
+See the [layerwise design](../../../design/feature/offloader/layerwise_offload.md) for
+the discovery and hook invariants. `OffloadPlan` is a separate declarative
+topology path for distributed layerwise offload.
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Single device only.
+- Setup consolidates and pins block parameters, increasing cold-start time.
+- Performance depends on block compute time and host-to-device bandwidth;
+  lightweight blocks may not hide transfers.

+### Combined with Online FP8 Quantization
+
+HSDP can be combined with online FP8 quantization for diffusion models that
+support both features. HSDP shards the quantized weights across GPUs to reduce
+the per-GPU weight memory footprint.
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni import Omni
+from vllm_omni.diffusion.data import DiffusionParallelConfig
+
+omni = Omni(
+    model="<your-model>",
+    quantization="fp8",
+    parallel_config=DiffusionParallelConfig(

+        hsdp_shard_size=2,
+    ),
+)
+```
+
+For online serving:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve <your-model> \
+    --omni \
+    --quantization fp8 \
+    --use-hsdp \
+    --hsdp-shard-size 2
+```
+
+The model must support both HSDP and online FP8 quantization. HSDP remains
+incompatible with Tensor Parallelism. See the
+[FP8 Quantization Guide](../../quantization/fp8.md) for supported models and

+Single-stage native AR TTS at 48 kHz (rednote-hilab). Pipeline: `Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM → DiT (10-step Euler flow matching) → patch_encoder AR loopback → AudioVAE (streaming decode)`. Same "vLLM-native base LM + side-path computation" pattern as VoxCPM2, with a plain Qwen2 backbone instead of MiniCPM4 and no FSQ / residual LM stage.

+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+### Voice cloning
+Not wired in this release — generation is zero-shot only. The CAM++ x-vector speaker encoder weights load, but `end2end.py` has no `--ref-audio`/`--ref-text` flags yet.
+
+### Streaming
+The AudioVAE decoder has an internal streaming path (`init_stream_state` / `stream_step` / `stream_flush`) used to avoid boundary artifacts between 160 ms patches, but it is not yet exposed through an online serving endpoint or example.
+
+### Notes
+- Output: 48 kHz mono WAV.
+- Deploy config: `vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml` (auto-loaded by HF `model_type`).
+- Checkpoints: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` is the validated default. `dots.tts-base` shares the same architecture but is unvalidated in this repo. `dots.tts-mf` (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) is not supported yet.
+- Known limitation: no CUDA graph capture and no batched side-path computation yet, so concurrent requests do not currently scale (each request's DiT Euler steps run serially). See `recipes/rednote-hilab/dots.tts.md` for details and the roadmap.

 ## IndexTTS-2 and IndexTTS-2.5

 Both versions use a 2-stage TTS pipeline and produce 22.05 kHz mono audio. Stage 0 is a GPT AR talker. IndexTTS-2 Stage 1 uses RepCodec semantic embeddings, GPT latent, S2Mel CFM/DiT, and BigVGAN. IndexTTS-2.5 replaces RepCodec with EnhancedCodec and uses the official code-only path (`use_gpt_latent=false`). Every request requires reference audio for zero-shot voice cloning.

+
+## Summary
+
+- Vendor: rednote-hilab
+- Model: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar`
+- Task: Text-to-speech, zero-shot synthesis only
+- Mode: Offline end-to-end example only (not yet wired for online serving —
+  see [Known limitations](#known-limitations))
+- Maintainer: Community
+
+## When to use this recipe
+
+Use this recipe as a known-good starting point for running
+`rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` offline on vLLM-Omni on consumer-class GPUs.
+dots.tts is a ~1.7B-parameter continuous-AR TTS model (Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM
+ 344M DiT flow-matching head + 180M AudioVAE) that emits 48 kHz mono audio.
+It follows the same "vLLM-native base LM + side-path computation" pattern as
+VoxCPM2 — single-stage pipeline
+`Qwen2.5-1.5B base LM → DiT (10-step Euler flow matching) → patch_encoder AR
+loopback → AudioVAE (streaming decode)` — with a plain Qwen2 backbone
+instead of MiniCPM4, and no FSQ / residual-LM stage.
+
+This is an early integration (see [Known limitations](#known-limitations)
+below before depending on it for anything beyond offline experimentation).

+dots.tts (~1.7B params across the base LM + DiT + AudioVAE + CAM++
+speaker encoder, bfloat16) fits comfortably on a single 16 GB GPU. The
+bundled default config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml)
+(`gpu_memory_utilization: 0.8`, `max_num_seqs: 4`, `enforce_eager: true`,
+`enable_prefix_caching: false`) loads cleanly with ~5.1 GiB for model
+weights and ~0.3 GiB peak activation; the remainder of the configured
+budget is available for KV cache. Total resident footprint at idle is
+roughly **7-8 GiB / 16 GB** — the only tight spot in the full CUDA-Graph
+roadmap would be step 8's graph capture (not implemented yet; this
+release runs `enforce_eager: true`, so it doesn't apply today).

+- torch: 2.11.0+cu130
+- vLLM: 0.26.0
+- vLLM-Omni: 0.22.1.dev (current `main`)
+
+#### Command
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/dots_tts/end2end.py \
+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+The deploy config at
+[`vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml`](../../vllm_omni/deploy/dots_tts.yaml)
+is loaded automatically by the model registry (HF `model_type=dots_tts`).
+Pass `--deploy-config <path>` to override.
+
+#### Verification
+
+**T1 — offline zero-shot synthesis**:
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/text_to_speech/dots_tts/end2end.py \
+    --model rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar \
+    --text "Hello, this is a test of dots TTS running on vLLM Omni."
+```
+
+Observed: `output_audio/output.wav`, 3.52 s @ 48 kHz mono. Single
+one-shot process (init → one `generate()` → exit), so the reported
+numbers include engine init and first-request warmup, not just steady-state
+per-step throughput — same caveat as VoxCPM2's recipe. `Inference: 5.52s`,
+`RTF: 1.569`.
+
+Weight-loading breakdown from the same run (all tensors matched, no
+missing/extra keys): 951/951 AudioVAE, 244/244 DiT, 270/270
+patch_encoder, 198 Qwen2, 938/938 CAM++ speaker encoder.
+
+Whisper transcription of the output matched the input text with no
+dropped leading word (confirms the streaming-vocoder patch-boundary fix
+described in [Known limitations](#known-limitations)).
+
+#### Notes
+
+- Output: 48 kHz mono WAV.
+- Checkpoints: `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar` is the validated default
+  used throughout this recipe. `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-base` shares the
+  same architecture but is unvalidated in this repo. `rednote-hilab/dots.tts-mf`
+  (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) is not supported — see below.
+- `enforce_eager: true` and `enable_prefix_caching: false` in the deploy
+  config are load-bearing, not just conservative defaults: with prefix
+  caching enabled, vLLM-Omni's prefix-cache multimodal-output merge path
+  does not preserve the `sparse_audio` marker this model relies on to
+  route audio output correctly, and generation silently truncates to a
+  single ~160 ms patch. Do not override `enable_prefix_caching` for this
+  model until that framework-level gap is fixed.
+
+## Known limitations
+
+- **No online serving yet.** dots.tts is not registered in
+  `vllm_omni/entrypoints/openai/tts_adapters/` (the framework other TTS
+  models in this repo use for `/v1/audio/speech`), so `vllm serve
+  rednote-hilab/dots.tts-soar --omni` will start but the OpenAI-compatible
+  speech endpoint does not know how to build request params for it yet.
+  Offline `Omni()` (as used in `end2end.py`) is the only supported path
+  today.
+- **Voice cloning is not wired.** The CAM++ x-vector speaker encoder
+  weights load and are exercised by `load_weights()`, but nothing in the
+  prompt builder consumes a reference audio yet — generation is zero-shot
+  only. `end2end.py` has no `--ref-audio`/`--ref-text` flags.
+- **`dots.tts-mf` (MeanFlow, 2-4 step) checkpoint is not supported.** Only
+  the fixed 10-step Euler DiT sampler used by `dots.tts-soar` /
+  `dots.tts-base` is implemented.
+- **No CUDA graph capture.** The talker runs fully eager. voxcpm2's three
+  captured graphs (base LM decode, CFM solver, VAE decode) have no
+  dots.tts equivalent yet.
+- **Concurrent requests do not scale.** Each request's 10-step DiT Euler
+  integration runs serially in the side path (no cross-request batching,
+  unlike voxcpm2's `enable_batched_cfm`). A community review of this
+  integration measured no throughput gain at `c=4` concurrent requests
+  versus `c=1`.
+- **`SamplingParams.seed` does not control audio-generation randomness.**
+  The DiT's flow-matching noise is deterministically derived per-request
+  from a fixed internal seed (reproducible run-to-run, matching
+  voxcpm2's `deterministic_cfm_seed` convention) rather than from the
+  caller-supplied `seed` field — the same limitation voxcpm2 has today.
