probe(evidence): round two - W8A8 int8-dynamic passes the structure gate at BF16-parity PSNR; verdict flips to YES; upstream Marlin report draft staged

The diffusion loader treated any quant config without the MXFP8/
is_checkpoint_quantized markers as online quantization: it loaded every
component on the accelerator before offloading, so serving the int8
weight-only compressed-tensors artifact OOM'd at model construction
(encoder 17 GiB + VAE + packed DiT skeleton > 24 GiB). compressed-tensors
is always a serialized format with no on-load quantization pass — detect
it (through component wrappers too) and load on the host, round-tripping
each quantized module through the accelerator only for the post-load
Marlin repack, which has no CPU path.

For continuation and extension, set MiniMax-H3 Temporal Mask's mode and duration; continuation also uses `preserve_fraction`.

+2. Adjust the case's mask. For removal and inpainting, set Mask Canvas to the video dimensions, Mask Rectangle to the region size, and Combine Masks x/y to its position, or replace that chain with Load Image (as Mask) for an arbitrary-shape mask. For continuation and extension, set MiniMax-H3 Temporal Mask's mode and duration; continuation also uses `preserve_fraction`. Match the duration in Generate Video, and use a duration longer than the source for extension. Mask values are `0` to preserve and `1` to regenerate.
 3. Adjust the prompt to describe the desired content. Set the output dimensions and duration in Generate Video. If editing audio, update the sound description and audio mask (`0` preserves, `1` regenerates the whole clip).
 4. Select the case's Mask Preview Save Video node and choose **Execute to selected output nodes** to preview the mask as a red overlay without inference, or select its Result Save Video node to generate the edited video. Running the entire workflow generates all four cases.

+# MammothModa2-Preview Serving Performance Dashboard
+
+This document describes how to deploy and benchmark **bytedance-research/MammothModa2-Preview** (T2I) using vLLM-Omni. It includes service startup configuration, benchmark methodology, dataset settings, and performance results.
+
+MammothModa2 is a two-stage AR→DiT text-to-image pipeline: stage 0 is an autoregressive LLM that encodes the prompt into a visual-token grid, and stage 1 is a generation-LLM DiT that renders the final image (`final_output_type: image`). Unlike single-stage diffusion pipelines, `/v1/images/generations` requests traverse both stages, and the DiT stage ran with `max_num_seqs: 1` in the then-default deploy config, so concurrent requests serialized on the DiT stage while the AR stage batched (request-level DiT batching landed later in #7476).
+
+> **Legacy-topology baseline**: all numbers in this dashboard were measured on the legacy topology, where the MammothModa2 DiT stage runs as an LLM-generation stage (`stage_type: llm`) built from `VllmConfig`, served through the LLM-typed image-stage compatibility path. #7134 migrates this pipeline to the shared diffusion runtime (DiT registered as a standard `DIFFUSION` stage built from `OmniDiffusionConfig`). These results should be treated as the pre-migration baseline and are expected to be rerun after #7134 lands; they are not directly comparable with post-migration numbers.
+
+---
+
+# 1. Overview
+
+This document covers:
+
+* Service launch configuration
+* Benchmark scripts and usage
+* Dataset and workload settings
+* Performance measurement results
+* Reproducibility guidelines
+
+---
+
+# 2. Test Environment
+
+| Component | Specification |
+|------------|----------------|
+| GPU | NVIDIA A800-SXM4-80GB (1x) |
+| CPU | 18 cores |
+| Model weights | `bytedance-research/MammothModa2-Preview` |
+| Deploy config | `vllm_omni/deploy/mammoth_moda2.yaml` (bundled) |
+| Stage 0 (AR) | `gpu_memory_utilization: 0.5`, `enforce_eager: true`, `max_num_seqs: 100` |
+| Stage 1 (DiT) | `gpu_memory_utilization: 0.3`, `enforce_eager: true`, `max_num_seqs: 1` |
+| Sampling params (per request) | `text_guidance_scale: 9.0`, `cfg_range: [0.0, 1.0]`, `num_inference_steps: 50` sent via `--extra-body` / `--num-inference-steps` |
+
+---
+
+# 3. Service Launch Configuration
+
+## 3.1 Basic Serving Command
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve bytedance-research/MammothModa2-Preview --omni \
+    --port 8091 \
+    --trust-remote-code
+```
+
+When serving from a local weights directory (no `model_index.json`), pass the bundled deploy config explicitly so the `mammoth_moda2` pipeline is selected:
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve /path/to/MammothModa2-Preview --omni \
+    --port 8091 \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/mammoth_moda2.yaml
+```
+
+## 3.2 Key Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Description |
+|-----------|-------------|
+| `--deploy-config` | Path to the deploy YAML; defaults to the bundled `mammoth_moda2.yaml` for the HF checkpoint |
+| `size` (request) | `WxH`, e.g. `1024x1024`; routed to the AR grid and the DiT `target_w/target_h` |
+| `num_inference_steps` (request) | DiT sampling steps (default 50) |
+| `guidance_scale` (request) | Text guidance scale (default 9.0) |
+
+Note: the benchmark script's `--warmup-num-inference-steps` shortcut is not usable for this pipeline — a reduced step count truncates the AR stage's visual-token output and crashes the DiT stage. Use `--warmup-requests 0` and warm up with a real request instead.
+
+---
+
+# 4. Benchmark Script
+
+## 4.1 Benchmark Entry
+
+```bash
+python benchmarks/diffusion/diffusion_benchmark_serving.py \
+    --base-url http://localhost:8091 \
+    --model bytedance-research/MammothModa2-Preview \
+    --endpoint /v1/images/generations \
+    --task t2i \
+    --dataset random \
+    --num-prompts 8 \
+    --width <W> --height <H> \
+    --num-inference-steps <S> \
+    --extra-body '{"text_guidance_scale": 9.0, "cfg_range": [0.0, 1.0]}' \
+    --max-concurrency <C> \
+    --warmup-requests 0 \
+    --seed 142 \
+    --output-file <OUT>.json
+```
+
+## 4.2 Dataset
+
+`random` synthetic T2I prompts, fixed seed 142, 8 prompts per configuration (4 for 2048x2048 due to per-request latency).
+
+---
+
+# 5. Performance Results
+
+All requests succeeded (0 failures across the sweep). Latency is end-to-end per request (AR + DiT + VAE decode + base64 response).
+
+> Note: these are legacy-topology baseline results (see the callout in the overview); rerun after the #7134 diffusion-runtime migration before comparing across topologies.

+
+## 5.3 Stage Breakdown (concurrency 1, from server logs)
+
+Per-stage wall time from the server's `[OmniTiming]` records across the §5.1/§5.4/§5.5 sweeps (n = 18/9/5 per row; at concurrency 1 stage wall time equals `stage_gen_time_ms` in the engine stats table):
+
+| Resolution | Steps | AR stage (s) | DiT stage (s) | E2E (s) | AR share | AR output tokens | AR ms/token |
+|------------|-------|--------------|---------------|---------|----------|------------------|-------------|
+| 512x512    | 20    | 20.3         | 1.7           | 22.0    | 92%      | 1,057            | 19.2        |
+| 1024x1024  | 50    | 78.9         | 17.2          | 96.1    | 82%      | 4,161            | 19.0        |
+| 2048x2048  | 50    | 156.3        | 114.8         | 271.2   | 58%      | 8,154            | 19.2        |
+
+Stage 0 is the AR prompt encoder (TTFT 82 ms at 1024x1024); stage 1 is the DiT renderer. Three observations:
+
+1. **AR per-token cost is constant (~19 ms/token) across resolutions**, so AR time is fully predictable: the AR stage decodes a fixed visual grid whose length scales with resolution (1,057 → 4,161 → 8,154 tokens), giving `AR ≈ tokens × 19 ms`. This is also why §5.4's step sweep is sub-linear — the AR token count is step-invariant.
+2. **DiT time scales super-linearly with pixels**: a 16x pixel increase (512 → 2048) multiplies DiT time by 67 (1.7 → 114.8 s).
+3. **The dominant stage flips with resolution**: AR is 92% of E2E at 512x512 (DiT optimization is nearly pointless there) but 58% at 2048x2048, where both stages matter.
+
+At concurrency > 1, per-stage wall times additionally include intra-stage queueing (each stage serializes at `max_num_seqs: 1`), so the c2/c4 rows in §5.1 cannot be decomposed additively from this table.
+
+## 5.4 Inference-Step Sensitivity (1024x1024 / 512x512, concurrency 1)
+
+Steps 25 at 1024x1024 (half the default 50) and steps 25 at 512x512, same protocol as §5.1:
+
+| Resolution | Steps | Concurrency | Mean (s) | P50 (s) | P95 (s) | P99 (s) |
+|------------|-------|-------------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
+| 1024x1024  | 25    | 1           | 85.2     | 85.3    | 87.8    | 88.7    |
+| 1024x1024  | 25    | 4           | 113.7    | 115.8   | 126.1   | 129.4   |
+| 512x512    | 25    | 1           | 21.9     | 21.8    | 22.2    | 22.3    |
+
+Halving DiT steps does not halve end-to-end latency (96.3 → 85.2 s at 1024): the AR stage emits a fixed count of visual tokens (4,161 at 1024x1024) regardless of step count, so its ~79 s contribution (§5.3) is step-invariant; only the DiT sampling time scales with steps. At 512x512, steps 20 → 25 adds ~0.1 s per step (21.8 → 21.9 s).
+
+## 5.5 Prompt-Length Sensitivity (long vs short prompts)
+
+A ~430-word long prompt (repeated via `--random-request-config '[{"weight":1,"prompt":"..."}]'`) against the default short synthetic prompt, same seed and settings:
+
+| Resolution | Steps | Concurrency | Prompt | Mean (s) | P99 (s) | Throughput (img/s) |
+|------------|-------|-------------|--------|----------|---------|---------------------|
+| 1024x1024  | 50    | 1           | short  | 96.3     | 100.8   | 0.0104              |
+| 1024x1024  | 50    | 1           | long   | 93.6     | 94.4    | 0.0107              |
+| 1024x1024  | 50    | 4           | short  | 150.9    | 186.3   | 0.0238              |
+| 1024x1024  | 50    | 4           | long   | 141.7    | 174.2   | 0.0255              |
+| 512x512    | 20    | 1           | short  | 21.8     | 22.2    | 0.0459              |
+| 512x512    | 20    | 1           | long   | 22.2     | 22.5    | 0.0450              |
+
+Prompt length has no material effect on latency (the long-prompt rows are within run-to-run variance and even slightly faster with tighter P99 tails). This confirms the AR stage's cost is dominated by decoding the fixed 4,161-token visual grid, not by prompt encoding: the KV prefill of a few hundred extra text tokens is negligible against 4,161 decode steps.
+
+## 5.6 Peak GPU Memory (per-stage process, nvidia-smi polling at 1 Hz)
+
+Sampled during the §5.4/§5.5 sweeps (stage processes identified by PID; both stages share the single A800):
+
+| Configuration (worst case) | stage0_ar (MB) | stage1_dit (MB) |
+|----------------------------|----------------|-----------------|
+| 1024x1024, 50 steps, c4    | 39,290         | 11,104          |
+| all other configs          | 39,194         | 11,102–11,104   |
+
+Memory is essentially flat across the sweep: the AR stage grows by only ~96 MB at concurrency 4 and the DiT stage by 2 MB, because both stages pre-allocate from `gpu_memory_utilization` budgets (0.5 / 0.3) at startup. Combined steady-state usage ≈ 50.4 GiB of the 80 GiB device.
+
+## 5.7 DiT-Stage Component Attribution (pipeline profiler)
+
+With `enable_diffusion_pipeline_profiler: true` in the stage-1 deploy config (`MammothModa2DiTPipeline` targets: `gen_transformer.forward`, `gen_vae.decode`, `gen_image_condition_refiner.forward`), three warm 1024x1024 / 50-step requests (profiler adds a `synchronize` per call, so timings are indicative, not throughput-grade):
+
+| Component | Per request (s) | Share of DiT pipeline |
+|-----------|-----------------|-----------------------|
+| `gen_transformer.forward` (100 calls: 50 steps x 2 passes) | 14.01–14.07 | 98.6% |
+| `gen_vae.decode` (1 call) | 0.148 | 1.0% |
+| `gen_image_condition_refiner.forward` (1 call) | 0.005 | 0.03% |
+| whole `MammothModa2DiTPipeline.forward` | 14.18–14.27 | — |
+
+The DiT latency is ~99% transformer sampling; VAE decode costs only ~0.15 s per image at 1024x1024 and is not a bottleneck. Per-step transformer time is ~140 ms (two forward passes per step: ~2.8 s nominal x CFG), consistent with §5.3's 17.2 s image-TTFT figure once base64 encoding and stage handoff are included.
+
+## 5.8 Endpoint Fix Verification
+
+Before the serving fix, `/v1/images/generations` returned HTTP 503 ("No diffusion stage found in multi-stage pipeline") because the pipeline's image-output stage is a generation-LLM DiT rather than a `diffusion`-typed stage. After the fix all requests return HTTP 200 with a valid base64 image (verified across every sweep configuration above).
+
+---
+
+# 6. Reproducibility
+
+1. Start the server as in §3.1 and wait for `Application startup complete`.
+2. Warm up with one real request (any size) — do not use reduced-step warmups.
+3. Run the sweep commands from §4.1 for each row in §5.
+4. Server-side per-stage timings are printed in the engine stats table (`stage_gen_time_ms`, `output_unit_count`) at `--log-stats` level info.
+5. New rows use the same seed (`--seed 142`), `--num-prompts 8`, and `--warmup-requests 0` protocol as §4.1; when saving results with `--output-file`, name them `<res>_s<steps>_c<conc>[_long].json` to keep runs comparable (steps-25, long-prompt, peak-memory and profiler runs).
+6. To reproduce §5.6 peak-memory numbers, poll `nvidia-smi --query-gpu=memory.used --format=csv -l 1` per stage PID while a sweep is in flight (e.g. `nvidia-smi pmon` / `--query-compute-apps`).
+7. To reproduce §5.7, copy the bundled deploy config, set `enable_diffusion_pipeline_profiler: true` on the stage-1 entry, restart, and grep `[DiffusionPipelineProfiler]` lines from the server log; timings include a `torch.cuda.synchronize` per call.

+### Engine output types
+
+`engine_output_type` is parsed when the LLM stage's output processor is built
+during service initialization. Invalid values fail startup before requests
+are accepted; engine replicas may already have been initialized at that point
+and are cleaned up on failure.
+
+Use the exact lowercase names listed above. Combinations such as `text+audio`
+or `text,audio` remain supported, with every component canonical. Omitted or
+`None` values retain the default behavior (`TEXT` in the output processor).
+Empty strings, whitespace, case variants, and aliases are rejected.
+
+For existing custom pipelines or direct callers, replace old aliases explicitly:
+
+| Old value | Canonical value |
+| ------- | ------- |
+| `speech`, `wav`, `waveform` | `audio` |
+| `images`, `pixel_values`, `pixels` | `image` |
+| `latents` | `latent` |
+| `tokens` | `text` for text output, or `token_ids` for discrete IDs |
+
+`token_ids` is a separate type, not a `text` alias. It describes discrete
+vocabulary or codebook indices, distinct from continuous latent representations.
+Existing models using `latent` retain their historical payload contracts.
+GLM-Image's AR stage keeps `engine_output_type="token_ids"`; generated IDs still
+travel through `cumulative_token_ids`, and source-image IDs through
+`ids.prior_image`.
+
+Bare primary tensors and generic producer keys (`model_outputs` or `hidden`)
+use the declared type as their default output key, including `token_ids`.
+The normalizer does not inspect or convert their dtype. Distinct auxiliary
+outputs must use explicit field names: `model_outputs` and `hidden` both map
+to the same default key and must not represent two independent outputs.
+GLM-Image disables auxiliary hidden output for its default GPU execution.
+Some runner paths still attach it; that field is then named `token_ids` even
+though it contains hidden states. The GLM-Image bridge ignores this auxiliary
+field and reads generated IDs from `cumulative_token_ids` instead.
+
+Token-ID tensors use the existing dimension-0 accumulation default, subject to
+registered per-key overrides, and remain available after DELTA emissions.
+This is separate from the existing accumulation of `cumulative_token_ids`.

+of short-lived shapes. Admission history is bounded to four times `max_graphs`,
+so an evicted history entry must accumulate its calls again. Increasing the
+graph cap can improve coverage but retains more GPU memory. Existing graphs
+are not replaced, avoiding repeated capture costs when traffic changes.
+
+By default, graphs in the same encoder on the same device and replay stream
+share a memory pool and capture stream. Different encoders and replay streams
+remain isolated. Graph inputs and output buffers are allocated outside capture;
+only transient capture allocations share the pool. Returned outputs remain
+cloned. A late capture waits for earlier replay work and output clones before
+reusing the pool. Set `encoder_cuda_graph_share_pools` to `false` for an A/B
+comparison with a separate pool and capture stream per graph.
+
+The graph count is **not a byte limit**. Sharing pools reuses intermediate
+storage but does not eliminate per-shape static input and output buffers.
+Before a new capture, the adapter checks device-free memory against
+`min_free_bytes`, a nonnegative integer (default: 1 GiB; zero disables the check).
+Below this floor the call runs eagerly, and a later call may try admission
+again. Existing graphs can still replay. This check is conservative about
+reusable allocator memory and does not predict capture allocations, reserve
+memory, or guarantee that capture fits. Size the floor for the deployment;
+disable encoder graphs when their additional memory cannot be accommodated.
+
+Each adapter exposes `get_cumulative_stats()`: graph hits, total misses, hit
+rate, graph count, and separate ineligible, capacity, warmup and memory misses.
+These include calls rejected before the upstream manager, so a full cache's
+lost coverage is visible. Vision uses `vpm._encoder_graph`; audio uses
+`_audio_encoder_graph` on the model. The counters are per adapter, not global.
+
+Capture failures propagate the original exception and make that adapter
+unusable. Subsequent calls raise without retrying capture or running CUDA eager
+work. Restart the worker, optionally with encoder graphs disabled. This is a
+fatal contract, not automatic recovery: a failed CUDA capture can leave the
+device context unusable. `capture_failures` records this terminal state.
+
+`--enforce-eager` always disables these graphs. CPU, grad/autocast, stateful
+streaming audio and the other model-specific eager fallbacks remain unchanged.
+The adapter clones graph outputs through upstream postprocessing so retained
+embeddings survive later replays.

+
+An AR stage whose downstream decoder consumes sampled tokens rather than
+hidden states can set `omni_pooler_payload_include_hidden = False`. Hidden
+states remain available for logits and sampling; prefill conditioning and
+other required multimodal outputs still cross the stage boundary.
+
+A chunk processor that needs IDs on steps without a tensor payload declares
+`requires_token_updates = True`. The scheduler then enqueues nonempty sampled
+IDs while preserving final-stage exclusions and the processor's EOF handling.
+Processors without this declaration retain their tensor-payload trigger.
+
+When hidden and multimodal payloads are absent, the shared runner skips empty
+per-request payload construction. Prefix-cache merges and pending model
+postprocess retain the normal path. This policy is independent of whether
+output materialization runs inline or in the background.
+
+Inline construction consumes query offsets, scheduled-token counts and
+scheduler metadata before the next execution can reuse them. Background
+construction snapshots those inputs. Both paths reuse the request IDs already
+copied by upstream bookkeeping; connector collection stays on the main thread
+because it can run a tensor-parallel collective.

 ## Overview
 
-VAE parallelism distributes VAE (Variational AutoEncoder) decode/encode work across multiple GPUs. This guide covers VAE patch/tile parallelism, which splits latent space into spatial tiles or patches, and Wan spatial-shard decode, which shards decoder feature maps along height or width.
+VAE parallelism distributes VAE (Variational AutoEncoder) decode/encode work across multiple GPUs. This guide covers patch/tile parallelism, batch parallel decode for image VAEs, and Wan spatial-shard decode. Patch/tile parallelism divides images into spatial regions; batch parallel decode assigns complete images to ranks.
 
 This is particularly useful for:
+
 - **High-resolution image generation** where VAE decode can become a memory bottleneck
 - **Memory-constrained environments** where the VAE decode activation peak exceeds available VRAM
 - **Multi-GPU setups** where you want to leverage distributed resources for the VAE stage
 
 See supported models list in [Supported Models](../../diffusion_features.md#supported-models).

 VAE patch parallelism uses two strategies based on image size:
 
-| Strategy | Use Case | How It Works | Overlap Handling | Output Quality |
-|----------|----------|--------------|------------------|----------------|
-| **Tiled Decode** | Large images (triggers VAE tiling) | Distributes existing VAE tiling computation across ranks. Each rank decodes a subset of overlapping tiles. | Uses VAE's native `blend_v` and `blend_h` functions to seamlessly merge overlapping regions | Bit-identical (same logic as single-GPU tiling) |
-| **Patch Decode** | Small images (no VAE tiling) | Splits latent into spatial patches with halos. Each rank decodes one patch with boundary context. | Halo regions provide edge context; core regions are directly stitched without blending | Near-identical (diff < 0.5%, visually imperceptible) |

+

+
+## Batch Parallel Decode
+
+Set `vae_parallel_mode="batch"` to distribute complete images across ranks during
+VAE decode. This mode supports pipelines that load `DistributedAutoencoderKL`
+or `DistributedAutoencoderKLFlux2`, including FLUX.2-dev and FLUX.2 Klein. Klein
+selects the distributed VAE only for batch mode; its default path is unchanged.
+Selecting this mode for an
+unsupported VAE, including Wan, raises an error at model initialization.
+
+For a pipeline already using two tensor-parallel workers, select batch decode
+with these Python settings:
+
+```python
+parallel_config = DiffusionParallelConfig(
+    tensor_parallel_size=2,
+    vae_patch_parallel_size=2,
+    vae_parallel_mode="batch",
+)
+sampling_params = OmniDiffusionSamplingParams(num_outputs_per_prompt=2)
+```
+
+The corresponding serving flags are `--vae-patch-parallel-size 2
+--vae-parallel-mode batch`. Keep the existing DiT parallelism configuration;
+the VAE degree does not allocate extra workers. Send a request for multiple
+images to use the batch split.
+
+Each rank decodes a contiguous part of the image batch through its native VAE
+decoder. Results are reassembled in the original image order and made available
+on every worker. With two images and four workers, two workers decode one image
+each. With five images and four workers, the assigned batch sizes are 2, 1, 1,
+and 1. Workers without images still participate in the required communication.
+
+**Constraints and behavior:**
+
+- Batch mode and distributed tile/patch mode are mutually exclusive. Encoding
+  uses the native local path, including native tiling when enabled, rather than
+  distributing spatial tiles across workers.
+- Batch size one, VAE degree one, or a single worker uses native decode on each
+  worker. Batch mode does not automatically switch to distributed tile/patch
+  decode for a single image, even with `vae_use_tiling=True`. To distribute a
+  single image across workers, select `vae_parallel_mode="tile"` on a pipeline
+  that supports distributed tile/patch decoding.
+- Data parallelism, pipeline parallelism, and CFG parallelism must each have
+  degree one because this implementation communicates over the worker WORLD
+  group. Tensor and sequence parallelism may supply the shared workers.
+- Batch mode does not force tiling. Explicit native VAE tiling and slicing
+  settings remain in effect within each rank's assigned batch and on the
+  single-image fallback. Native tiling splits an image locally on one worker;
+  it does not add cross-worker tile parallelism to batch mode.
+- It does not merge independent serving requests. The VAE must receive a batch
+  containing multiple images, for example through `num_outputs_per_prompt`.
+
+Splitting the batch can reduce per-rank decoder work and activation memory, but
+collecting decoded images adds communication and buffers. Measure complete
+request latency and memory for the intended model, image count, and resolution.
+This feature has no universal speedup or memory-saving guarantee. Changing the
+decoder batch shape can also change floating-point rounding; validate generated
+outputs when selecting a deployment configuration.

+Streaming is on by default. On CUDA Hopper GPUs with at least 140 GiB of device memory (H200), serving automatically selects `cosyvoice3_packed_streaming_optimized_standard.yaml` when `nvidia-cuda-mps-control` is available on `PATH`: AR32 / codec32, standard sampling, packed Flow, cached ISTFT, HiFT decode graphs, and local CUDA MPS. No `--hf-overrides` is needed. Other devices and environments without the MPS control tool use `cosyvoice3.yaml` with RAS sampling and AR8 / codec8.
 
-Cross-request Stage-1 flow batching is opt-in. Enable it in the server environment when concurrent requests should share a flow-estimator call:
+The optimized profile is not a universal hardware configuration. Its packed kernels are Hopper-only; the talker's Model Runner V2 is unsupported on NPU/XPU, and CUDA MPS requires a local NVIDIA GPU and its control tool. Larger batches, 25-frame chunks, and graph allocations also require per-device validation on smaller or slower GPUs. Automatic selection retains the generic profile outside the validated device class; an explicit deploy configuration takes precedence.
+
+The H200 default targets streaming throughput at C32/C64. It changes sampling from RAS to standard (temperature 0.7, top-p 0.8, top-k 20, repetition penalty 1.21); output lengths and quality can differ. HiFT captures a recurring exact shape on its third use, which adds latency to that request, and its graph pool needs memory headroom beyond the engine reservations. This profile is not a claim of optimal first-audio latency at low concurrency. Pass `--deploy-config cosyvoice3.yaml` to retain the previous configuration, or `--deploy-config <path>` to select another profile.
+
+Pass `--no-async-chunk` (or `NO_ASYNC_CHUNK=1 ./cosyvoice3/run_server.sh`) for the legacy synchronous path; use `--deploy-config cosyvoice3.yaml` alongside it when selecting that path on H200.
+
+Cross-request Stage-1 flow batching is enabled in the H200 profile. For the generic configuration, enable it in the server environment when concurrent requests should share a flow-estimator call:
 
 ```bash
 export COSYVOICE3_BATCH_FLOW=1
 vllm serve FunAudioLLM/Fun-CosyVoice3-0.5B-2512 --omni --port 8091 --trust-remote-code
 ```
 
-Batching preserves output lengths and streaming cache alignment, but the different GEMM shapes can produce small waveform differences compared with processing each request separately. Leave `COSYVOICE3_BATCH_FLOW` unset (or set it to `0`) when request-independent numerical behavior is required. Set `COSYVOICE3_BATCH_FLOW_DEBUG=1` to log the observed group-size distribution and enable detailed Stage-1 profiler scopes; diagnostics are disabled by default to avoid per-step profiling overhead.

-#### Realtime WebSocket client (`openai_realtime_client.py`)
-
-[`openai_realtime_client.py`](./openai_realtime_client.py) connects to **`ws://<host>:<port>/v1/realtime`**, streams a local WAV as **PCM16 mono @ 16 kHz** in fixed-size chunks, and receives **`response.output_audio.*`**, **`response.output_text.*`**, and transcript events. By default it uses explicit `input_audio_buffer.commit`; pass **`--server-vad`** to let the server detect speech endpoints and commit the turn automatically. The client concatenates audio deltas and writes **`--output-wav`** (model output is typically **24 kHz**). Optional **`--delta-dump-dir`** saves each delta as `delta_000001.wav`, … for debugging.
-
-Streaming input works well for translation-style use cases; if the Thinker runs while input is still incomplete, consider limiting **`max_tokens`** in your session / server defaults to avoid over-generation.

-**Dependencies:**
-
-```bash
-pip install websockets
-```
-
-**From this directory** (`examples/online_serving/qwen3_omni`):

+# Issue 5 probe: int8 quantized DiT serve paths on the RTX 3090 (24 GB)
+
+## Round two (owner directive + amendment): W8A8 int8-dynamic — the capacity route is YES
+
+The 08:37 amendment narrowed the remaining work to one decisive experiment:
+a compressed-tensors **W8A8 int8-dynamic** artifact (int8 weights + dynamic
+per-token symmetric int8 activations, int-quantized format) whose kernel on
+sm_86 is the cutlass int8 scaled-MM — no Marlin anywhere in the path.
+
+**Result: the non-Marlin int8 path works end-to-end.** The artifact serves,
+passes the structure gate on all 16 matrix requests with healthy numbers,
+and lands at BF16-parity PSNR — including the first usable four-reference
+quality comparison this card has ever produced:
+
+| Refs | Wall (mean, s) | Peak VRAM | Opacity / alpha | PSNR vs sealed Diffusers (dB) |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | 20.5 | 23,879 MiB (run max) | 0.984–0.986 / 255.0 | 33.72 |
+| 2 | 25.1 | ” | 0.947–0.966 / 254.9–255.0 | 28.34 |
+| 3 | 29.4 | ” | 0.965–0.988 / 255.0 | (no sealed row; derived fixture) |
+| 4 | 34.0 | ” | 0.967–0.976 / 255.0 | **27.50** |
+
+Comparison rows: BF16 served 1–2 refs at 34.2/36.7 s and OOMs at 4;
+online-FP8 and int8-wo-Marlin run 29.9–46.4 s but produce collapsed output;
+**W8A8-dynamic is both the fastest row measured (4-ref 34.0 s ≈ 4.3× the
+sealed Diffusers nocache baseline's 145.8 s) and the only structurally sound
+quantized row.** 3–4 references at cached speed on one 3090: delivered.
+
+Gate calibration note: round one's pass rule (`opaque ≥ 0.99`) was an
+instrument calibration derived from the broken (0.008–0.20) vs BF16 (1.0)
+contrast. The W8A8 outputs sit at 0.95–0.99 opaque with alpha mean ≈255 and
+healthy RGB spread — soft-edge alpha, not the broken signature — so the
+recorded verdict rests on the raw numbers, visual inspection (four-character
+apothecary scene and the 1-ref portrait both render faithfully), and PSNR in
+the 26–29 dB BF16 band. The raw per-request structure metrics are in
+`evidence/rtx3090-round2/` unedited.
+
+Kernel-path verification for this round (`w8a8_isolate.py`,
+`cutlass_ops_probe.py`): the raw ops (`scaled_int8_quant` +
+`cutlass_scaled_mm`) match a float32 reference at 0.17% rel-L2 across
+(64,256,128) / (512,4096,4096) / (512,4096,12288), and the full layer path
+(load → transpose-repack → apply, fused QKV and row-parallel, synthetic
+weights, loaded bitwise-verified) matches at 0.17% too. (Round-two lesson
+recorded for the instrument: an intermediate 97%-error scare in
+`w8a8_isolate.py` was a missing ×act_scale factor in the probe's own
+reference, not a kernel defect — the out/ref norm ratio equaled E[act_scale]
+exactly, which is what gave it away.)
+
+Artifacts (outside Git): `…/artifacts/qwen-image-2.1-dit-w8a8dyn/` (int8
+weights unpacked + fp32 per-channel scales, 224 tensors, 7.26 GiB, manifest
+with digests). The round-one int8-wo artifact stays for the Marlin evidence.
+
+The upstream Marlin report is drafted and ready to file in the #3 lane on
+the owner's call: `UPSTREAM-REPORT-DRAFT.md` (capability-query overclaim +
+NaN kernel + synthetic repro + the PR #4 FP8 convergence). The hard-stop
+branch did not trigger.
+
+Helper-system follow-through for multi-model-helper-server #27 (input only):
+the 3090's serving-profile candidacy now extends to 3–4-reference profiles
+via the W8A8-dynamic artifact — 4-ref at 34.0 s/image, peak 23.9 GiB,
+BF16-parity PSNR (27.5 dB 4-ref vs the sealed int8-DiT Diffusers baseline),
+provided serving ships the artifact and the branch's two loader/factory
+fixes. This supersedes round one's "blocked on Marlin" conclusion.
+
+## Round one: int8 weight-only via compressed-tensors — capacity yes, Marlin W8A16 collapses
+
+Probed 2026-10-08 on `cachyos-alexander` (RTX 3090, sm_86, driver 615.71.09,
+CUDA 13.4), at upstream main `8484d85d1` plus this branch's two loader/factory
+fixes, vLLM-Omni 0.31.0 recipe (Python 3.13 venv, torch 2.13.0+cu130,
+transformers 5.14.1, diffusers git `122b1e11`, compressed-tensors 0.17.0).
+The DiT was quantized **offline** from the sealed snapshot
+`Qwen/Qwen-Image-2.1@790c9263` to int8 weight-only (W8A16), per-output-channel
+symmetric, stored as a compressed-tensors pack-quantized checkpoint; encoder
+and VAE stay BF16 on disk via the artifact's per-component config wrapper.
+The probe mirrors the sealed Diffusers attempt `2026-10-07T170729Z-q3-4r`
+fixture-for-fixture (same frozen references-suite-2 images, same rendered
+prompts, seeds 2301–2304, 20 steps, `true_cfg_scale 1.0`).
+
+## Verdict (superseded by round two above — kept as the round-one record)
+
+**Capacity: delivered. Quality: collapsed in the serve kernel — the int8
+sidestep does not rescue 3–4 references on this card with this stack, and the
+blocker is now sharply isolated: the 8-bit Marlin W8A16 path itself.**
+
+- Every step of the artifact chain is verified correct: the quantizer's
+  round-trip reproduces the sealed BF16 weights at ~1.1% rel-L2
+  (`evidence/rtx3090/artifact-verify.txt`), and the serve path loads the
+  packed tensors **bitwise-identically** — including the fused q/k/v stacked
+  shards — with finite scales before and after the Marlin repack.
+- Serving works mechanically: init ~40 s, all 16 capacity-matrix requests
+  (1/2/3/4 references × seeds 2301–2304) complete at BF16-comparable speed
+  (4-ref 46.4 s; BF16 OOMs at 4 refs, online-FP8 was 44.3 s), peak 23,935 MiB.
+- But the output is structurally broken on **every** counted run (gate FAIL
+  16/16: opaque 0.0–0.20 vs 1.0 at BF16; PSNR vs the sealed baseline
+  7.1–7.5 dB — the same collapsed band as online FP8). The images are
+  horizontal-stripe noise.
+- A one-layer offline isolation (`marlin_isolate.py`) pins it: vLLM parallel
+  linears built exactly as the qwen_image_21 transformer builds them, loaded
+  with the artifact's verified tensors, emit **NaN** for all four layer
+  geometries (fused QKV, to_out, img_mlp proj/out), for both bf16 and fp16
+  activations — and do the same for **synthetic random int8 weights**, so the
+  checkpoint and its quantization are exonerated. The 8-bit Marlin W8A16 path
+  on this stack (sm_86, vllm 0.31.0, torch 2.13.0+cu130) is broken even though
+  `query_marlin_supported_quant_types` accepts `uint8b128` on the card, and
+  `choose_mp_linear_kernel` offers no non-Marlin W8A16 fallback on sm_86
+  (Machete is sm90+, ExLlama int4-only).
+
+The torchao-int8-in-Diffusers prior (multi-model-helper-server #160, blinded
+review within label noise of BF16) stands unchallenged: int8 quantization is
+fine; the serve-path kernel is not. The online-FP8 collapse from PR #4 and
+this int8 collapse now share one root suspect — the Marlin mixed-precision
+path on this fork/card — with the fp8 case previously isolated to the
+Marlin-quantized DiT and this run extending it to int8 with a fully verified
+checkpoint on the far side of the kernel.
+
+## Two serve-path fixes this issue required (in this PR)
+
+1. **Quant factory could not build compressed-tensors at all.**
+   `_normalize_method_name` canonicalizes `compressed-tensors` to
+   `compressed_tensors`, which then missed vLLM's hyphenated registry — so
+   both `--quantization compressed-tensors` and checkpoint auto-detection
+   raised "Unknown quantization method". The registry lookup now resolves
+   both spellings, and registry configs whose `__init__` does not take the
+   serialized schema fall back to `from_config` (`vllm_omni/quantization/factory.py`,
+   tests in `tests/quantization/test_quant_factory.py`).
+2. **The diffusion loader misclassified pre-quantized checkpoints as online
+   quantization under CPU offload.** With `--enable-cpu-offload` it loaded
+   every component on the GPU before offloading (encoder 17 GiB + VAE + the
+   packed DiT skeleton > 24 GiB → init OOM). Serialized formats are now
+   detected (`is_prequantized_config`, component-wrapper aware) and load
+   directly on the host, with each quantized module round-tripped through the
+   accelerator only for the post-load Marlin repack
+   (`vllm_omni/diffusion/model_loader/diffusers_loader.py`). With these two
+   fixes the artifact serves: init healthy in ~40 s, logs
+   `Per-component quantization: {'transformer': 'compressed-tensors'}`.
+
+## Artifact (outside Git, under the helper state root)
+
+`~/.local/state/multi-model-helper-server/state/image-service/artifacts/qwen-image-2.1-dit-int8wo/`
+— quantized `transformer/` (6.76 GiB packed int8 + BF16 boundary layers;
+224 tensors = 32 blocks × {to_q,to_k,to_v,to_out.0,proj,gate_layer,out};
+6.98 B params quantized, 0.14 B BF16), `model_index.json`/`scheduler`/
+`text_encoder`/`vae`/`processor` symlinked to the sealed snapshot, and
+`MANIFEST.json` with inputs (snapshot path, revision, tree digest), versions,
+per-file sha256, and quantization stats (mean rel-L2 1.10%, max 1.73%).
+Built by `quantize_dit_int8wo.py` using compressed-tensors' own
+`pack_to_int32` (uint8 biased by 128, 4 per int32) and `QuantizationConfig`
+serialization, so the storage convention matches llm-compressor bit-for-bit.
+`transformer/config.json` carries the quantization metadata wrapped
+per-component (`{"transformer": {...}}`) so auto-detection quantizes the DiT
+only — the encoder and VAE resolve to None and stay BF16
+(the plain global form would hand the encoder a compressed-tensors config
+it has no scales for).
+
+## Run matrix — RTX 3090
+
+Single run `int8wo`: `vllm serve <artifact> --omni --port 8091
+--served-model-name Qwen/Qwen-Image-2.1 --enforce-eager
+--enable-cpu-offload`, readiness via `/health`, VRAM via the 1 Hz
+`nvidia-smi` series (issue 2's instrument). Two precursor runs OOM'd at init
+for reasons fixed on this branch (see Verdict item 2); their logs survive
+under `runs/int8wo-expandable/` on the host (the first attempt's log was
+overwritten by the successful rerun in the same label).
+
+| Refs | Fixture | Wall (mean, s) | Peak (MiB) | Gate | PSNR vs Diffusers (dB) |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | edit-expression-ysolde | 31.0 | 23,935 (run max) | FAIL 4/4 | 7.14 |
+| 2 | edit-compose-pair | 36.6 | ” | FAIL 4/4 | 7.46 |
+| 3 | edit-compose-three | 41.4 | ” | FAIL 4/4 | no sealed row (derived fixture) |
+| 4 | edit-compose-four | 46.4 | ” | FAIL 4/4 | 7.11 |
+
+BF16 comparison rows (issue 2): 1-ref 34.2 s, 2-ref 36.7 s, 4-ref OOM.
+Online-fp8 (broken output, capacity reference): 29.9 / 34.1 / 38.9 / 44.3 s.
+So the int8 artifact matches the fp8 capacity/speed profile exactly —
+including its broken-output signature (PSNR band 7.0–7.5 dB) — while the
+checkpoint side is proven numerically sound, moving the defect wholly into
+the kernel.
+
+## Structure gate and quality read
+
+- Gate rule (issue 1's lesson): `opaque_fraction ≥ 0.99` and `mean(rgb_std)
+  ≥ 10`; BF16 outputs measure 1.0 opaque, 26–29 dB. Every int8-artifact run
+  fails (opaque 0.0–0.20, alpha mean 114–137; rgb_std spans 3–93 — several
+  outputs have healthy RGB spread yet near-total transparency, and one
+  (seed 2302) is near-flat grey like the fp8 signature). Outputs are
+  horizontal-stripe noise on visual inspection.
+- PSNR vs the sealed 4-reference Diffusers baseline (RGBA-on-RGBA,
+  #1's comparator): 7.14 / 7.46 / 7.11 dB mean for 1/2/4 refs — the
+  collapsed band, not the 26–29 dB BF16-row parity the issue hoped for.
+
+## Kernel isolation (the issue's "different kernels" prior, answered)
+
+`marlin_isolate.py` builds vLLM `QKVParallelLinear` / `RowParallelLinear` /
+`ColumnParallelLinear` exactly as `qwen_image_21_transformer.py` does, loads
+the artifact tensors through the production weight-loader machinery
+(bitwise-verified after load, fused q/k/v shards included), runs
+`process_weights_after_loading` (the Marlin repack) on the GPU, and compares
+`layer(x)` against `float32 x @ dequant(W)ᵀ` computed from the artifact's own
+unpacked weights:
+
+| Layer | bf16 acts | fp16 acts | packed bitwise | scales post-repack |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| attn.to_qkv (fused) | NaN | NaN | equal | finite (6.6e-4…1.2e-2) |
+| attn.to_out.0 (row) | NaN | NaN | equal | finite |
+| img_mlp.proj (column) | NaN | NaN | equal | finite |
+| img_mlp.out (row, wide-in) | NaN | NaN | equal | finite |
+
+Synthetic random int8 weights reproduce the NaN identically, and the runtime
+capability query accepts `uint8b128` on this card — so this is a defect of
+the 8-bit Marlin W8A16 path on this stack (repack or kernel; sm_86,
+vllm 0.31.0, torch 2.13.0+cu130), not of the checkpoint, the quantizer, the
+loader, or the fused-QKV stacking. No alternative W8A16 kernel exists on
+sm_86 in this build to switch to.
+
+## Reproducibility
+
+Scripts in this directory: `quantize_dit_int8wo.py` (artifact + manifest),
+`verify_artifact.py` (round-trip check), `serve.sh` / `probe.py` (adapted
+issue-2 kit; probe records the structure gate inline per request), `gate.py`
+(gate + capacity summarizer), `psnr.py`, `marlin_isolate.py` (kernel
+isolation, `--synthetic` for the stack-only variant). All were pushed
+verbatim to `~/Projects/vllm-omni-val/issue5/` on the host and run from the
+validation clone checked out on this branch. Per-run serve/vram logs and all
+output PNGs live under `~/Projects/vllm-omni-val/issue5/runs/int8wo/`;
+condensed evidence in `evidence/rtx3090/`.
+
+## Helper-system follow-through (input to multi-model-helper-server #27 — not implemented here)
+
+- The 3090's 3–4 reference serving path remains blocked, now with a single
+  named suspect: the 8-bit Marlin W8A16 kernel path on sm_86 (this fork's
+  vllm 0.31.0 / torch 2.13.0 stack). Both quantized routes (online FP8,
+  offline int8 compressed-tensors with a verified checkpoint) collapse at the
+  same place. The unlock order for #27 candidacy is now: upstream Marlin

+synthetic + bitwise-load isolation). The only code changes are the two
+serve-path fixes required to make the issue's plan steps executable at all.

+# Upstream report draft: Marlin 8-bit W8A16 yields NaN on sm_86 while the capability query accepts it
+
+Status: DRAFT — prepared for the #3 upstream lane; file when the owner calls it.
+Evidence: issue 5 round one (this directory) + PR #4's online-FP8 isolation.
+Reproduction: `probe/issue-5/marlin_isolate.py --synthetic` (no checkpoint needed).
+
+## Summary
+
+On vLLM 0.31.0 (torch 2.13.0+cu130, CUDA 13.4, RTX 3090 / sm_86, driver
+615.71.09), the 8-bit Marlin W8A16 path selected for compressed-tensors
+int8 weight-only checkpoints produces NaN outputs for every tested layer
+geometry, activation dtype, and input distribution — including synthetic
+random weights — even though `query_marlin_supported_quant_types` accepts
+`uint8b128` on the device and `choose_mp_linear_kernel` has no other W8A16
+candidate on sm_86 (Machete is sm90+, ExLlama int4-only).
+
+## Isolation chain (each step independently verified)
+
+1. **Checkpoint exonerated.** The int8 weight-only compressed-tensors
+   artifact round-trips to the sealed BF16 weights at ~1.1% rel-L2 using
+   compressed-tensors' own `unpack_from_int32` + dequantize
+   (`verify_artifact.py`, output in `evidence/rtx3090/artifact-verify.txt`).
+2. **Loading exonerated.** `marlin_isolate.py` loads the artifact's
+   `weight_packed` tensors through the production vLLM weight-loader
+   machinery into `QKVParallelLinear` / `RowParallelLinear` /
+   `ColumnParallelLinear` built exactly as the qwen_image_21 transformer
+   builds them; after loading, the parameters are **bitwise-equal** to the
+   checkpoint (including the fused q/k/v stacked shards), and scales are
+   finite before and after `process_weights_after_loading`.
+3. **Kernel indicted.** `layer(x)` is NaN for all four layer geometries
+   (fused 12288-out QKV, 4096-out row, 12288-out column, wide-in row), for
+   both bf16 and fp16 activations, at M=512.
+4. **Checkpoint-independence.** `--synthetic` (random int8 weights + random
+   per-channel scales, quantized and packed in-memory) reproduces the NaN
+   identically — no checkpoint, quantizer, or scale file involved.
+5. **Same-family serve evidence.** PR #4's online-FP8 path (also Marlin
+   W8A16 on sm_86) produces structurally broken output (≈97% transparent
+   RGBA, PSNR 7 dB vs BF16) across every reference count; transformer-only
+   FP8 isolates the collapse to the Marlin-quantized DiT. Two independent
+   quantizers, one kernel family.
+
+## Suspicion boundary (what is and is not pinned)
+
+The NaN arises between `gptq_marlin_repack`/`marlin_permute_scales` and
+`torch.ops.vllm.marlin_gemm` — the isolate stops at that boundary. Not yet
+dissected: whether the repacked weight bytes are wrong (repack/layout bug
+for 8-bit on sm_86) or the kernel itself miscomputes from correct bytes.
+The 4-bit Marlin path was not tested (out of scope for issue 5).
+
+## Minimal reproduction (from this repo)
+
+```sh
+python probe/issue-5/marlin_isolate.py --synthetic   # NaN, all geometries
+```
+
+Requires: vLLM 0.31.0 importable with CUDA visible; ~2 GiB GPU memory.
+Expected on an unaffected stack: rel-L2 ≈ 0.01 per layer.
+Observed on the affected stack: NaN for every layer, both activation dtypes
+(`evidence/rtx3090/marlin-isolate-synthetic.json`).
+
+## Context that may matter upstream
+
+- torch 2.13.0+cu130 / CUDA 13.4 is a bleeding-edge combination; if CI
+  covers Marlin int8 on sm_80/86 with an older stack, a torch/CUDA 13
+  interaction is a candidate.
+- The 4-bit Marlin path is heavily exercised by CI; the 8-bit
+  (`uint8b128`) path is comparatively new. If 8-bit Marlin support was
+  validated only on sm_80/sm_90, sm_86 may be untested.
+- The capability query accepting `uint8b128` on sm_86 while the kernel
+  yields NaN is the dispatch-overclaim angle: either the query or the
+  kernel is wrong for this cell.

+"""Issue 5: quantize the Qwen-Image-2.1 DiT to int8 weight-only (W8A16) and
+save it as a compressed-tensors pack-quantized checkpoint.
+
+Quantizes exactly the linears the vllm-omni transformer constructs with
+``quant_config`` — per-block attention (to_q/to_k/to_v/to_out.0) and
+img_mlp (proj/gate_layer/out) — and copies every boundary layer (img_in,
+txt_in, time_text_embed, modulation, norm_out, proj_out) plus the RMSNorm
+q/k scales through in BF16. Per-output-channel symmetric int8, scales in
+fp32, weights packed 4x uint8 (biased by 128) per int32 via
+compressed-tensors' own ``pack_to_int32`` so the artifact matches the
+llm-compressor storage convention bit for bit.
+
+The artifact is a full diffusers-layout model directory: the quantized
+``transformer/`` is real, the remaining components are symlinks into the
+sealed snapshot. ``transformer/config.json`` carries the quantization
+metadata wrapped per-component (``{"transformer": {...}}``) so vLLM-Omni's
+auto-detection quantizes the DiT only — the text encoder and VAE stay BF16.
+
+A MANIFEST.json (inputs, versions, per-file sha256, quantization stats) is
+written beside the weights. Nothing here enters Git; the artifact lives
+under the helper-system state root.
