+description: Self-check your branch before creating a PR — catch dead code, verify accuracy/perf claims, validate PR title format, and confirm merge readiness. Use when the user says "precheck", "self review", "pre-submit check", or "check my PR before I open it." Never posts to GitHub.
+---
+
+# PR Pre-Check
+
+Self-review your branch before creating a PR against `vllm-project/vllm-omni`. Two modes: **quick** catches showstoppers, **full** does a thorough maintainer-grade review. Never posts to GitHub; the report is for the contributor's terminal only.
+
+## Mode Selection
+
+| Mode | When | Time |
+|------|------|------|
+| **Quick** | About to push, final sanity check | ~3 min |
+| **Full** | Ready for review, want maintainer-level scan | ~10 min |
+
+Default to quick if unsure. Run full before marking a PR "ready for review."
+
+## Workflow
+
+### Step 1: Detect Base Branch
+
+```bash
+BASE_SHA=$(git merge-base HEAD origin/main 2>/dev/null \
+         || git merge-base HEAD main 2>/dev/null \
+         || echo origin/main)
+echo "diffing against ${BASE_SHA}"
+git diff --name-only ${BASE_SHA}...HEAD
+```
+
+### Step 2: Validate PR Title
+
+Check the most recent commit message (or branch name if no commit yet) against the project convention. Valid prefixes:
+
+| Prefix | Applies to |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `[Bugfix]` | Bug fixes |
+| `[CI/Build]` | Build or CI improvements |
+| `[Doc]` | Documentation changes |
+| `[Model]` | New/improved models (include model name) |
+| `[Frontend]` | Frontend changes (API server, OmniLLM class, etc.) |
+| `[Kernel]` | CUDA/kernel changes |
+| `[Core]` | Core logic changes (OmniProcessor, OmniARScheduler, etc.) |
+| `[Hardware][Vendor]` | Hardware-specific (e.g., `[Hardware][Ascend]`) |
+| `[Misc]` | Other changes (use sparingly) |
+
+✗ if: missing prefix, wrong case (`[bugfix]`), or WIP/Draft in title.
+⚠ if: `[Model]` prefix without the model identifier (e.g., `[Model] Add new model` — should be `[Model] Add <ModelName> ...`).
+
+### Step 3: Categorize the PR
+
+| Diff contains | PR type |
+|---------------|---------|
+| New files under `vllm_omni/model_executor/models/<name>/` | **New Model** |
+| Changes to `vllm_omni/diffusion/` | **Diffusion Model** |
+| `[Bugfix]` prefix or single-file fix | **Bug Fix** |
+| Perf/benchmark/throughput claims in commit msg or diff | **Performance** |
+| Everything else | **General** |
+
+If multiple rows apply (e.g., a diffusion model is also a new model), union the checklists.
+
+### Step 4: Run Checklist
+
+Ask: "Quick mode or full mode?" Then walk the checklist for the detected PR type from [references/checklists.md](references/checklists.md). Each item produces ✓, ✗, or ⚠.
+
+### Step 5: Print Report
+
+```
+Pre-check report for <branch>
+
+  Mode: quick | full
+  Type: <new-model | diffusion-model | bug-fix | perf | general>
+
+  Dimension          Result
+  ─────────────────  ──────
+  PR title format    ✓
+  PR desc integrity  ✓
+  Registry/config    ✓
+  Dead code          ⚠ 2 warnings
+  Accuracy           ✓
+  Benchmark          ✗ missing software versions
+
+  Verdict: 1 blocking | 2 warnings | recommend fixing ✗ before PR
+```
+
+**Severity:**
+
+| Mark | Meaning |
+|------|---------|
+| ✗ | Blocking — fix before opening PR |
+| ⚠ | Warning — consider fixing |
+| ✓ | Pass |
+| — | Skipped (not applicable) |
+
+### Stop Here
+
+Do not post comments, open PRs, or modify files. The report is for the contributor's terminal only.

+# Pre-Check Checklists
+
+Each item is a concrete check to run against the diff. ✗ = fix before PR. ⚠ = consider fixing.
+
+---
+
+## All PRs: Title Format (check first)
+
+PR title must follow the project convention documented in `docs/contributing/README.md`:
+
+| Prefix | Applies to |
+|--------|-----------|
+| `[Bugfix]` | Bug fixes |
+| `[CI/Build]` | Build or CI improvements |
+| `[Doc]` | Documentation changes |
+| `[Model]` | New/improved models (include model name) |
+| `[Frontend]` | Frontend changes (API server, OmniLLM class, etc.) |
+| `[Kernel]` | CUDA/kernel changes |
+| `[Core]` | Core logic changes (OmniProcessor, OmniARScheduler, etc.) |
+| `[Hardware][Vendor]` | Hardware-specific (e.g., `[Hardware][Ascend]`) |
+| `[Misc]` | Other changes (use sparingly) |
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+✓ [Model] Add MiniCPM-o 4.5 support
+✓ [Bugfix] Fix Ovis image text encoder dtype
+✓ [Core] Qwen3-Omni performance optimization
+✓ [Hardware][Ascend] Fix VoxCPM2 on Ascend
+✗ Fix Ovis image text encoder dtype              ← missing prefix
+✗ [bugfix] Fix Ovis image text encoder           ← wrong case
+✗ [WIP] Add model                                ← WIP in title
+```
+
+- [ ] **Title has valid prefix** — ✗ if missing prefix, wrong case, or WIP/Draft in title. For `[Model]` PRs, the title MUST also include the model identifier (e.g., `[Model] Add <ModelName> ...`). ⚠ if missing the model name.
+
+---
+
+## Bug Fix PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body has 4 sections:** what broke (error message), repro steps, root cause, fix description
+- [ ] **Fix is minimal:** diff touches only files directly related to the bug. No unrelated refactors or style changes.
+- [ ] **Repro is runnable:** the PR body includes a copy-paste command that reproduces the bug
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Regression test exists:** `git diff --name-only` includes at least one `tests/` file
+- [ ] **Regression test reproduces the original error:** the test would fail on main, pass on this branch
+- [ ] **Fix matches root cause exactly:** no "fix the symptom + something else" — if the root cause is dtype, the fix is dtype, not dtype + reformatting
+- [ ] **No silent failure risk:** no bare `except: pass`, no `try: ... except: return None`, no empty fallback added
+- [ ] **Upstream pattern match:** the fix follows the same pattern as existing code for similar cases (grep for analogous `from_pretrained` calls, etc.)
+- [ ] **Environment documented:** torch/transformers/vllm versions listed if the bug is version-dependent
+
+---
+
+## Performance PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **Before/after numbers in PR body:** at minimum, one metric (RTF, RPS, latency, VRAM) with main vs PR values
+- [ ] **Hardware specified:** GPU model, count, VRAM. "L4" or "H20" is sufficient. "tested on GPU" is not.
+- [ ] **Concurrency scaling:** if the optimization claims better throughput, numbers at 2+ concurrency levels
+- [ ] **No unexplained regressions:** if any metric goes down at any concurrency level, explain why
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Software versions:** torch, CUDA, vllm, vllm-omni versions in PR body
+- [ ] **Warmup stated:** "1 warmup + 3 measured" or equivalent
+- [ ] **Stddev or range:** not just a single best run. "average of 2 rounds" is minimum.
+- [ ] **VRAM measured:** peak GPU memory before and after
+- [ ] **Benchmark script checked in:** under `tests/` or `examples/`, runnable by reviewer
+- [ ] **Exact command line in PR:** not pseudocode, not "run the benchmark"
+- [ ] **Pytest summary included:** `36 passed, 3 skipped, 17 warnings in 2897.66s` — proves the whole suite passes
+- [ ] **Config changes documented:** if `max_num_seqs`, `gpu_memory_utilization`, or deploy YAML changed, old and new values stated with reasoning
+
+---
+
+## New Model PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body file list matches `git diff --name-only`:** every file path in the description exists in the diff
+- [ ] **Registry entries match claimed count:** count `_OMNI_MODELS` or `_DIFFUSION_MODELS` entries added vs claimed in body
+- [ ] **Pipeline config `custom_process_input_func` paths resolve:** each referenced module.function exists
+- [ ] **`__init__.py` exports match registry:** each registered class appears in `__init__.py` and `__all__`
+- [ ] **Shell script modes match README:** `run_curl.sh` supports every mode the README documents
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **Dead code scan (5 patterns):**
+  1. Dead `forward()` — defined but never called through the pipeline path
+  2. Dead factory/builder functions — instantiated nowhere
+  3. Dead wrappers — thin wrappers with no callers
+  4. Dead branch guards — `if version > X` where X is always satisfied
+  5. Unused parameters — `__init__` args never accessed
+- [ ] **Copy-paste detection:** no string constant defined in 3+ files, no cross-module validation duplication, no near-identical shape coercion fns
+- [ ] **Import hygiene:** no re-export-only imports, no module-level side effects without docs, no `import os` in function body when already at top. Function-body imports are acceptable when the import is only reachable from a closure or factory return value (i.e., `import` would otherwise execute at module load even though the user may never trigger that path). Either lift to top-of-file or annotate with `# noqa: PLC0415`.
+- [ ] **Accuracy:** at least one test compares output against reference; audio = valid WAV at correct sample rate; determinism verified if seed claimed. ⚠ if missing and not explicitly deferred to a follow-up PR or RFC section; — if explicitly deferred (the deferral target SHOULD be linked in the PR body).
+- [ ] **Performance:** hardware, software versions, warmup, and metrics (RTF, VRAM, RPS, latency) stated. ⚠ if missing and not explicitly deferred; — if explicitly deferred.
+- [ ] **Benchmark settings:** model config (TP, PP, max_model_len, enforce_eager, quant), runtime config (batch, input/output spec), environment versions
+- [ ] **Benchmark script checked in + exact command line + pytest summary**
+
+---
+
+## Diffusion Model PRs
+
+Diffusion models live under `vllm_omni/diffusion/`. In addition to the New Model checklist above, verify:
+
+- [ ] **Transformer adapter follows contract:** inherits from `nn.Module`, implements `load_weights()`, uses `vllm_omni.diffusion.attention.layer.Attention`
+- [ ] **Pipeline has both offline and online paths:** `forward()` for batch generation, streaming path for online serving
+- [ ] **Cache-DiT integration:** at least one acceleration (TeaCache, FBCache, etc.) is wired up. ✗ for new **top-level** pipelines. For **subclass** pipelines that inherit `__call__` from a parent where Cache-DiT is already absent, downgrade to ⚠ and recommend filing a follow-up issue against the parent pipeline family.
+- [ ] **Parallelism config:** TP/SP/USP/CFG-Parallel options exposed in pipeline config
+- [ ] **Docs table updated:** model added to `docs/models/supported_models.md` with correct metadata
+- [ ] **E2E test exists:** at least one test exercises the full generate path
+
+---
+
+## General PRs
+
+### Quick
+
+- [ ] **PR body matches diff:** description doesn't claim changes not in the diff
+- [ ] **Branch is rebased:** `git merge-base HEAD origin/main` is recent, no merge conflicts
+- [ ] **CI gates passing:** DCO, pre-commit, build — check `gh pr view --json statusCheckRollup` if a PR already exists
+
+### Full (adds)
+
+- [ ] **No new dead code in changed files:** scan for unreachable paths, unused imports
+- [ ] **Test coverage:** if core code changed (`engine/`, `stages/`, `connectors/`), tests are added or existing tests cover the path
+- [ ] **Import hygiene:** no redundant imports added
+- [ ] **No unrelated changes:** diff scope matches PR description

+- [2026/06] We released [0.22.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.22.0) - an **omnimodal world-model** release aligned with vLLM 0.22, featuring [Nvidia Cosmos3](recipes/cosmos3/Cosmos3-Nano.md)/DreamZero world model support, expanded quantization coverage across Blackwell/NPU/XPU, TTS production improvements, new models including MiniCPM-o 4.5, MOSS-TTS, and Lance, plus RL integration with [VeRL-Omni](https://github.com/verl-project/verl-omni).
 - [2026/05] We released [0.20.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.20.0) - refreshes the serving/runtime stack for large-scale omni workloads, and improves diffusion model performance, quantization, and hardware readiness across CUDA, ROCm, MUSA, NPU, and XPU backends.
 - [2026/03] We released [0.18.0](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-omni/releases/tag/v0.18.0) - strengthens the core runtime through a large entrypoint refactor and scheduler/runtime cleanups, expands unified quantization and diffusion execution, broadens multimodal model coverage, and improves production readiness across audio, omni, image, video, RL, and multi-platform deployments.

+# Prometheus Metrics Design
+
+This document describes how vLLM-Omni exposes Prometheus metrics for multi-stage pipelines, the constraints that shaped the design, and how the pipeline-level metrics coexist with upstream vLLM per-engine metrics. This iteration covers the text and audio surface; diffusion / image / video families land in a follow-up.
+
+## Objectives
+
+- Expose pipeline-level request and latency metrics that span the full multi-stage execution (orchestrator scope).
+- Preserve all upstream vLLM per-engine metrics (`vllm:*`) for stages backed by an AR LLM engine, and reshape their `engine` label into `stage` + `replica` so multi-replica deployments gain per-replica visibility automatically.
+- Expose per-modality SLO metrics that the upstream `vllm:*` families do not capture — audio TTFP / RTF / duration / frames / streaming continuity / silent-loss.
+- Expose per-replica-edge cross-stage transfer metrics so the slack between E2E latency and the sum of per-stage `gen_time` (queueing, serialization, network) becomes attributable.
+- Keep the metrics collection overhead low enough that it does not regress TTFA or throughput.
+
+## Background
+
+### Upstream vLLM Metrics
+
+Upstream vLLM defines ~37 Prometheus metric families under the `vllm:` prefix. These are registered by `PrometheusStatLogger` and cover engine-level state: KV cache usage, running/waiting request counts, token throughput, TTFT, inter-token latency, e2e latency, and so on. They are served via the `/metrics` HTTP endpoint provided by `prometheus_fastapi_instrumentator` and the default `prometheus_client` WSGI handler.
+
+vLLM's `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function strips every `prometheus_client` collector whose `_name` attribute contains the substring `"vllm"`. This runs during engine initialization to clean up stale collectors from prior instantiations within the same process.
+
+### The Problem
+
+vLLM-Omni runs multiple engine instances (stages × replicas) within a single process, coordinated by an Orchestrator. The pipeline needs its own metrics — aggregate request counts, end-to-end latency across all stages, per-modality SLO signals, and cross-stage transfer attribution — that do not exist in upstream vLLM. All pipeline-level metrics use the `vllm:omni_` prefix to distinguish them from upstream per-engine metrics. At import time (see `vllm_omni/patch.py`) we replace `unregister_vllm_metrics()` with a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors before each new `PrometheusStatLogger` registers (so multi-engine processes don't crash on duplicate registration), but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+
+Upstream per-engine metrics retain the `vllm:` prefix but are now registered by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger`, a thin subclass of upstream's `PrometheusStatLogger` that reshapes the single `engine` label into a `stage` + `replica` pair (see "OmniPrometheusStatLogger wrap" below).

+
+### Data Flow
+
+There are four independent paths for metric collection.
+
+**Path 1: Pipeline-level metrics (`vllm:omni_*`)**
+
+`OmniPrometheusMetrics` registers the Gauge / Counter / Histogram collectors at import time. It is instantiated once per entrypoint, labeled with the model name. The entrypoint calls its methods as requests progress:
+
+- `set_running(n)` / `set_waiting(n)` — updated after each request completes. The running count comes from `OmniRequestCounter`, a simple counter incremented/decremented by the Orchestrator as it tracks requests. Waiting is derived as `total - running`.
+- `request_succeeded(e2e_seconds, finished_reason="stop")` — recorded when a request finishes at the final stage. `finished_reason` is extracted from `engine_outputs.outputs[0].finish_reason` (vLLM `CompletionOutput` convention) and increments `vllm:omni_requests_success_total{finished_reason}`.
+- `request_failed()` — recorded by the cleanup path when a request exits without natural completion. Internally maps to `finished_reason="abort"` so a single Counter family covers both natural and aborted completion.
+
+**Path 2: Audio modality metrics (`vllm:omni_audio_*`)**
+
+`OmniModalityMetrics` registers seven audio families with `{model_name, stage, replica}` (plus an extra `threshold_ms` / `reason` label on the two extra-cardinality Counters). Three observation sites:
+
+- `observe_modality_at_finalize(...)` — called from `omni_base._process_single_result` inside the existing `e2e_done` finalize guard. For `output_type == "audio"` it emits `audio_frames_total`, `audio_duration_s`, `audio_rtf` (or `audio_skipped_requests_total{reason="no_audio_data"}` when no audio was produced). Sample rate is resolved from `engine_outputs.multimodal_output` via `definitions.resolve_audio_sample_rate(...)` (fallback chain mirrors `serving_chat.py`'s audio response path).
+- `observe_audio_first_packet(...)` — called from the OpenAI SSE audio branch in `serving_chat.py` on the first audio packet for a request. The once-per-request guard is held by `ClientRequestState.first_audio_ts`. The `request_arrival_ts` anchor is stored in `ClientRequestState` by `async_omni.generate()`, computed at request entry.
+- `observe_audio_streaming_finalize(...)` — called from `serving_chat.py` after the streaming chunk loop exhausts. It runs the per-chunk player simulation from `vllm_omni/benchmarks/audio_continuity.py` to compute the worst-case underrun and emits `audio_underrun_s` plus (when the request stayed below the threshold) `audio_continuity_ok_total{threshold_ms}`. Per-chunk PCM byte counts and arrival timestamps are recorded by the same audio branch that updates `first_audio_ts`.
+
+**Path 3: Cross-stage transfer metrics (`vllm:omni_transfer_*`)**
+
+`OmniTransferMetrics` registers four Histogram families with `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}` labels. Each observation corresponds to one physical transfer hop (one chunk between adjacent stages), not the per-request accumulated total — so the histograms track per-transfer distribution.
+
+The hook lives in `OrchestratorAggregator.record_transfer_tx` and `record_transfer_rx`. After the existing `TransferEdgeStats` accumulation, the aggregator calls `_emit_transfer_tx` / `_emit_transfer_rx`. Those:
+
+1. Resolve `from_replica` / `to_replica` via a `replica_resolver` callback supplied by `async_omni.py`. The resolver delegates to `stage_pool.get_bound_replica_id(request_id)` — i.e. the orchestrator's existing sticky-routing binding is the source of truth.
+2. Convert the underlying `_ms` accumulators to seconds and call the `_s`-suffixed observe methods on `OmniTransferMetrics`.
+
+Defensive fail-safe: if `transfer_emitter` or `replica_resolver` is missing, or the resolver returns `None` for either side, the emit is skipped silently (the underlying `TransferEdgeStats` accumulation is unaffected).
+
+**Path 4: Per-engine metrics (`vllm:*`, stage/replica wrap)**
+
+The Orchestrator instantiates `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` (a thin subclass of upstream `vllm.v1.metrics.loggers.PrometheusStatLogger`) and feeds it scheduler stats and iteration stats after processing each batch of engine outputs. This populates the standard ~37 vLLM metric families (TTFT, ITL, TPOT, KV cache usage, etc.) using the same upstream code path — but with the `engine` label reshaped into `stage` + `replica` so multi-replica deployments produce distinct series per replica. See the next section for the wrap mechanics.
+
+### Shared State Between Threads
+
+The Orchestrator runs in a background thread. The API server (OmniBase) runs in the asyncio event loop thread. `OmniRequestCounter` bridges them — a plain Python object with an `int` field. The Orchestrator increments/decrements it; the entrypoint reads it for gauge updates. No lock is needed because the counter is advisory (a stale read by one Prometheus scrape interval is acceptable). It is created by `AsyncOmniEngine.__init__()` and passed to the Orchestrator at construction time.
+
+### Metric Registration and Lifecycle
+
+All `vllm:omni_*` collectors are registered once when their owning class (`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics`) is imported. Per-`(stage, replica)` labels are bound lazily on first observation to avoid registering label sets for combinations that never produce data.
+
+The `prometheus_client` default registry holds all collectors. FastAPI's `/metrics` endpoint serves the default registry, so `vllm:omni_*` and the wrapped `vllm:*` metrics appear in the same scrape response alongside `http_*` and `process_*` metrics from the instrumentator and the Python client runtime.
+
+## OmniPrometheusStatLogger Wrap
+
+Upstream `PrometheusStatLogger.__init__` hard-codes `labelnames = ["model_name", "engine"]` as a local variable, references it across ~37 metric-family construction sites, and uses the `engine` label value in five different `.labels()` call shapes (kwarg with int engine, kwarg with str engine, positional with str engine in the middle, plus a `metrics_info["engine"] = str(...)` dict pattern). To reshape `engine` into `stage` + `replica` without forking the entire upstream `__init__`, the wrap uses three coordinated mechanisms:
+
+1. **Class-level metric class slot overrides.** `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` overrides `_gauge_cls`, `_counter_cls`, `_histogram_cls` (which upstream calls via `self._gauge_cls(...)` etc.) with `_RelabelGauge` / `_RelabelCounter` / `_RelabelHistogram` wrapper classes. These intercept the `labelnames` kwarg at metric family creation time and replace `engine` with `("stage", "replica")`.
+2. **Property descriptor for `per_engine_labelvalues`.** Upstream builds `self.per_engine_labelvalues = {idx: [model_name, str(idx)]}` inside `__init__` and then captures it into a local variable for `create_metric_per_engine` calls. By making `per_engine_labelvalues` a Python property on the subclass, the setter intercepts upstream's assignment and rewrites each 2-tuple into a 3-tuple `[model_name, stage, replica]` using the `stage_replica_map` supplied at construction time. The captured local then sees the rewritten dict.
+3. **Override of `.labels()` on the wrapper classes.** For the five call sites that pass `engine` directly (kwarg or positional, int or str), `_RelabelMixin.labels()` translates the engine value back to `(stage, replica)` via a process-level `_ENGINE_INDEX_MAP` populated by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger.__init__`. This handles `gauge_engine_sleep_state.labels(engine=idx, ...)`, `counter_request_success_base.labels(model_name, str(idx), str(reason))`, `info_gauge.labels(**metrics_info)`, etc.
+
+The three sub-helpers that upstream `PrometheusStatLogger.__init__` constructs (`spec_decoding_prom` / `kv_connector_prom` / `perf_metrics_prom`) use their own `_counter_cls` / `_gauge_cls` / `_histogram_cls` slots and would otherwise build families with the raw 2-element labelnames. `_OmniPerfMetricsProm` / `_OmniSpecDecodingProm` / `_OmniKVConnectorProm` subclass each helper to route the same relabel mixin through their internal family construction.
+
+The `Orchestrator` constructs `stage_replica_map` from the static `stage_pools` configuration at startup:
+
+```python
+stage_replica_map = {
+    flat_idx: (str(stage_id), str(replica_id))
+    for flat_idx, (stage_id, replica_id) in enumerate(
+        (s, r)
+        for s, pool in enumerate(stage_pools)
+        for r in range(pool.num_replicas)
+    )
+}
+```
+
+A reverse map `(stage_id, replica_id) -> flat_idx` is maintained on the Orchestrator so the per-replica `record(engine_idx=...)` call site can look up the right flat index.
+
+> Dynamic add/remove of replicas at runtime is intentionally out of scope — the upstream `PrometheusStatLogger` materializes per-engine_idx child metrics at init time, and supporting hot-add would require non-trivial intervention into upstream's per-family child dictionaries.
+
+## Gating: `--log-stats`
+
+All metrics — both the 15 `vllm:omni_*` families and the ~65 upstream `vllm:*` wrap families — are gated by the user's `--log-stats` CLI flag (default off). The flag is plumbed from `OmniBase.__init__(log_stats=...)` through `AsyncOmniEngine` to the stage-spawn helpers and to the three Prometheus metric classes (`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics`), and is forwarded to `Orchestrator._init_metrics_state(...)`.
+
+Behavior with `--log-stats=off` (default):
+
+- The three `Omni*Metrics` classes register their module-level Gauge / Counter / Histogram families at import time (prometheus_client requires up-front registration), but each `observe / inc / set` method early-returns. The per-label child series for `vllm:omni_*` stay materialized but never have data written to them.
+- `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` is not constructed in `_init_metrics_state`, so the ~65 upstream `vllm:*` wrap families are not registered in the default registry at all.
+- The engine core's `Scheduler.make_stats()` also short-circuits inside upstream (`if not self.log_stats: return None`), so no `SchedulerStats` is produced per step — the per-iteration cost is bounded by the existing upstream gate.
+
+Behavior with `--log-stats=on`: all metric paths fire normally; the orchestrator's per-replica recording is bounded only by `OmniSchedulerMixin.make_stats()`'s per-scheduler 1 Hz throttle (see next section).
+
+The overhead with the flag on is small enough that an A/B benchmark on Qwen3-Omni-30B single replica (30 sequential audio requests) showed a mean latency delta of +0.6% (Welch's t = 0.318, n=30, not statistically significant at α=0.05); the `/metrics` line count drops from 1358 to 124 lines when the flag is off.
+
+## Throttling: `make_stats()` Override
+
+Upstream vLLM's `Scheduler.make_stats()` runs on every AR generation step, returning a SchedulerStats object for the orchestrator. Under vLLM's architecture, this is fine. But since vLLM-Omni requires that the object be serialized and transferred over ZMQ, receiving a SchedulerStats object on every step can introduce unacceptable overhead to the system.
+
+`OmniSchedulerMixin.make_stats()` (in `vllm_omni/core/sched/omni_scheduler_mixin.py`) throttles stats emission to at most once per second **per scheduler** — i.e. per `(stage, replica)` since each replica owns its own scheduler instance. Between intervals it returns `None`, which the engine core skips serializing. This keeps gauges fresh enough for Prometheus scrapes (typically 15-30s intervals) while eliminating the per-step overhead.
+
+The orchestrator side does not add its own throttle on top: the per-replica recording loop gates only on `raw_outputs.scheduler_stats is not None` (i.e. this replica's scheduler passed its own 1 Hz gate). A previous global `_last_stats_ts` on the orchestrator was removed because it starved every replica other than the first to emit within each second.
+
+## Metric Definitions
+
+### Pipeline (4)
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_running` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests currently executing across all stages |
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_waiting` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests queued but not yet scheduled |
+| `vllm:omni_requests_success_total` | Counter | `model_name`, `finished_reason` | Total requests by completion reason ({stop, length, abort, ...}); aborts cover client-disconnect / cancellation paths in addition to upstream `FinishReason.ABORT` |
+| `vllm:omni_e2e_request_latency_s` | Histogram | `model_name` | Pipeline-global end-to-end latency in seconds |
+
+### Audio (7)
+
+Labels: `{model_name, stage, replica}` plus the listed extra label.
+
+| Metric | Type | Extra label | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` | Histogram | — | Time from request arrival to first audio packet/frame |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_duration_s` | Histogram | — | Audio content duration (`audio_frames / sample_rate`) |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_rtf` | Histogram | — | Real-time factor `stage_gen_time_s / audio_duration_s` (SLO `< 1`); uses `RTF_BUCKETS` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_frames_total` | Counter | — | Cumulative audio frames generated |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_underrun_s` | Histogram | — | Per-request worst-case player deficit; `> 0` indicates listener heard silent gaps |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_continuity_ok_total` | Counter | `threshold_ms` | Incremented when the request's worst underrun stayed below `threshold_ms` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_skipped_requests_total` | Counter | `reason` | Silent-loss counter — code2wav rejected malformed codec input and returned `200 OK` with empty audio |
+
+### Cross-stage transfer (4)
+
+Labels: `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}`.
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_size_bytes` | Histogram | Per-transfer payload size in bytes |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_tx_s` | Histogram | Sender-side time (serialize + submit to connector) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_rx_s` | Histogram | Receiver-side time (recv + deserialize) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_in_flight_s` | Histogram | Network in-flight time (TX done → RX recv start) |
+
+### LLM stage-level (wrapped `vllm:*`)
+
+After the wrap, every upstream `vllm:*` family — TTFT, ITL, TPOT, e2e latency, KV cache usage, scheduler running/waiting, request success counts, etc. — carries `{model_name, stage, replica}` labels. For the full upstream catalog see [the vLLM docs](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/docs/usage/metrics.md); note that metrics depending on features unsupported in vLLM-Omni (e.g. speculative decoding, LoRA) will not be available.
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+- All time-bearing metrics use the `_s` suffix (values in seconds). Two bucket families are used:
+  - `SECONDS_BUCKETS` (0.05 s – 300 s) for e2e / generation / TTFP style values.
+  - `SECONDS_FAST_BUCKETS` (0.001 s – 60 s) for fine-grained cross-stage transfer and audio-underrun values that need millisecond-level resolution.
+- Counters use the `_total` suffix (auto-appended by `prometheus_client`).
+- Sizes use the `_bytes` suffix.
+- All omni-specific families are prefixed `vllm:omni_`. The upstream `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function is monkey-patched to a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors (so multi-engine init within one process does not crash on duplicate registration) but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+
+## Logging vs. Prometheus
+
+`OrchestratorAggregator` (in `vllm_omni/metrics/stats.py`) is the logging-oriented metrics path. It collects detailed per-request, per-stage, and per-transfer statistics and prints formatted tables to the `INFO` log. This is designed for development and debugging — individual request traces, transfer bandwidth, inter-stage timing.
+
+`OmniPrometheusMetrics` / `OmniModalityMetrics` / `OmniTransferMetrics` form the Prometheus-oriented path. They record aggregate counters, gauges, and histograms suitable for time-series monitoring and alerting. Both paths share the same source data (`StageRequestStats`, `TransferEdgeStats`) — `OrchestratorAggregator.record_transfer_tx/rx` in particular calls both the existing accumulator code and the Prometheus emit hook in the same method body. The two consumption models can run simultaneously without coupling.
+
+The separation follows upstream vLLM's pattern of `LoggingStatLogger` vs. `PrometheusStatLogger` — same underlying data, different consumption models.

+# Production Metrics
+
+vLLM-Omni exposes Prometheus metrics via the `/metrics` endpoint on the OpenAI-compatible API server. This page covers the text and audio surface; diffusion / image / video metrics are tracked in a follow-up PR.
+
+```bash
+vllm-omni serve Qwen/Qwen3-Omni-30B-A3B-Instruct --port 8000 --log-stats
+curl http://localhost:8000/metrics
+```
+
+**`--log-stats` is required to populate metric data.** Without the flag, the endpoint still returns `200 OK` but the upstream `vllm:*` wrap is not registered at all, and the 15 `vllm:omni_*` families are registered as placeholders with no data written to them. This keeps the runtime cost essentially zero for deployments that don't need monitoring. With the flag, all ~80 families populate.
+
+## Metric Namespaces
+
+| Prefix | Source | Present when |
+|--------|--------|--------------|
+| `vllm:omni_` | vLLM-Omni orchestrator / audio modality / cross-stage transfer | Pipeline-dependent |
+| `vllm:` | Upstream vLLM engine, wrapped by `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` to expose `{stage, replica}` | Pipeline includes an LLM (AR) stage |
+| `http_` / `process_` | Uvicorn / Python runtime | Always |
+
+## Pipeline-Level Metrics (`vllm:omni_`)
+
+Defined in `vllm_omni/metrics/prometheus.py`. Track request lifecycle across the full multi-stage pipeline.
+
+### Request counts
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_running` | Gauge | `model_name` | Pipeline-global in-flight requests (dispatched to engine, not yet finalized) |
+| `vllm:omni_num_requests_waiting` | Gauge | `model_name` | Requests waiting in the Orchestrator queue |
+| `vllm:omni_requests_success_total` | Counter | `model_name`, `finished_reason` | Total requests by completion reason. `finished_reason` ∈ {`stop`, `length`, `abort`, ...} mirroring upstream `vllm:request_success_total`; aborts cover client disconnect / cancellation paths in addition to upstream `FinishReason.ABORT` |
+
+### Latency
+
+| Metric | Type | Labels | Description |
+|--------|------|--------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_e2e_request_latency_s` | Histogram | `model_name` | Pipeline-global end-to-end request latency in seconds |
+
+## Audio Modality Metrics (`vllm:omni_`)
+
+Emitted at request finalize, except for `audio_ttfp_s` (streaming-hook at the first audio packet) and `audio_underrun_s` / `audio_continuity_ok_total` (streaming finalize, after the chunk stream is exhausted). All carry `{model_name, stage, replica}` plus the listed extra label.
+
+| Metric | Type | Extra label | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` | Histogram | — | Time from request arrival to first audio packet/frame |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_duration_s` | Histogram | — | Audio content duration (`audio_frames / sample_rate`) |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_rtf` | Histogram | — | Real-time factor (`stage_gen_time_s / audio_duration_s`); streaming TTS SLO red line `< 1`; uses `RTF_BUCKETS` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_frames_total` | Counter | — | Cumulative audio frame count; throughput via `rate()` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_underrun_s` | Histogram | — | Per-request worst-case player deficit; `> 0` indicates listener heard silent gaps |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_continuity_ok_total` | Counter | `threshold_ms` | Incremented when the request's worst underrun stayed below `threshold_ms` |
+| `vllm:omni_audio_skipped_requests_total` | Counter | `reason` | Silent-loss counter — code2wav rejected malformed codec input and returned `200 OK` with empty audio |
+
+The continuity math comes from `vllm_omni/benchmarks/audio_continuity.py::compute_continuity_stats` so the server-side observation aligns with the bench-side definition.
+
+## Cross-Stage Transfer Metrics (`vllm:omni_`)
+
+Per-physical-transfer histograms tracking the data hop between adjacent stages. Labels `{model_name, from_stage, from_replica, to_stage, to_replica}` let dashboards attribute latency to specific replica edges. `from_replica` / `to_replica` are resolved from the orchestrator's sticky-routing binding (`stage_pool.get_bound_replica_id(request_id)`), so no extra plumbing through `TransferEdgeStats` is needed.
+
+| Metric | Type | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_size_bytes` | Histogram | Per-transfer payload size in bytes |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_tx_s` | Histogram | Sender-side time (serialize + submit to connector) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_rx_s` | Histogram | Receiver-side time (recv + deserialize) |
+| `vllm:omni_transfer_in_flight_s` | Histogram | Network in-flight time (TX done → RX recv start) |
+
+## vLLM Engine Metrics (`vllm:`)
+
+When the pipeline includes an LLM stage, the upstream vLLM engine exposes its full set of ~37 metric families under the `vllm:` prefix.
+
+vLLM-Omni wraps the upstream `vllm.v1.metrics.loggers.PrometheusStatLogger` with `OmniPrometheusStatLogger` so that the original `engine` single label is reshaped into `stage` + `replica`. Every `vllm:*` family — TTFT, ITL, TPOT, e2e latency, KV cache usage, scheduler running/waiting, request success counts, etc. — therefore gains per-`(stage, replica)` visibility automatically. No omni-side duplicate is needed for the text path.
+
+```text
+# Before wrap:
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", engine="1"}              3.0
+
+# After wrap:
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", stage="1", replica="0"}  2.0
+vllm:num_requests_running{model_name="...", stage="1", replica="1"}  1.0
+```
+
+For the full list of upstream metrics, see [the vLLM docs](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/blob/main/docs/usage/metrics.md).
+
+## Metric Availability by Pipeline Type
+
+| Metric group | Multi-stage LLM (Qwen3-Omni) |
+|---|---|
+| `vllm:omni_` request tracking + latency | With `--log-stats` |
+| `vllm:omni_` audio modality | With `--log-stats`, if pipeline has a talker stage |
+| `vllm:omni_` transfer | With `--log-stats`, if pipeline has ≥ 2 stages |
+| `vllm:` engine metrics (per `(stage, replica)`) | With `--log-stats` |
+| `vllm:` MFU metrics | With `--log-stats --enable-mfu-metrics` |
+
+## Naming Convention
+
+- All time-bearing metrics use the `_s` suffix (values in seconds). Buckets are `SECONDS_BUCKETS` for e2e / generation-style values and `SECONDS_FAST_BUCKETS` (1 ms → 60 s) for the fine-grained transfer and audio-underrun values.
+- Counters use the `_total` suffix (auto-appended by `prometheus_client`).
+- Sizes use the `_bytes` suffix.
+- All omni-specific families are prefixed `vllm:omni_`. The upstream `unregister_vllm_metrics()` function is monkey-patched (see `vllm_omni/patch.py`) to a scoped version that still strips upstream `vllm:*` collectors so multi-engine init within one process does not crash on duplicate registration, but preserves anything prefixed `vllm:omni_` / `vllm_omni`.
+- Text and audio first-output use distinct families (`vllm:time_to_first_token_seconds` reused from upstream for text; `vllm:omni_audio_ttfp_s` for audio) rather than a single metric with a `modality` label.

+- Base voice cloning has uniproc-vs-mp tradeoffs depending on per-request reference audio cost; see the executor-backend section above.

+### Faster FP8 GEMM on Blackwell (quack)
+
+On Blackwell (SM 100+), vLLM runs FP8 linears through the FlashInfer kernel, which
+applies the bias as a separate kernel after the GEMM. On the small GEMMs in video
+DiTs this bias add is a significant overhead. Installing the optional `quack` kernel
+lets vLLM-Omni fuse `alpha * (A @ B) + bias` into a single CuteDSL GEMM, recovering
+that overhead (e.g. HunyuanVideo-1.5 FP8 goes from slower-than-BF16 to faster).
+
+```bash
+# CUDA 12.9
+pip install vllm-omni[quack]
+
+# CUDA 13.x
+pip install 'quack-kernels[cu13]' --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu130
+```
+
+It is enabled automatically once installed (no flag needed) and is **Blackwell-only**:
+on Hopper/Ada the CUTLASS FP8 kernel already fuses bias, so quack is not used there.
+Set `VLLM_OMNI_USE_QUACK_FP8=0` to force the FlashInfer path. If `quack-kernels` is
+not installed, FP8 still works — it just keeps the unfused FlashInfer path.
+
+#### Compile cache and warmup
+
+quack JIT-compiles its kernel once per distinct GEMM shape (tens of seconds, longer
+the first time across all autotuned configs). The compiled `.o` files are cached on
+disk and reused on later runs, so this is a one-time cost — **not** per request.
+
+vLLM-Omni points that cache at `~/.cache/vllm_omni/quack` (override with
+`QUACK_CACHE_DIR`) instead of quack's default under `/tmp`, so it survives restarts.
+In containers, set `QUACK_CACHE_DIR` to a mounted/persistent path — or bake it into
+the image — so the first cold start does not recompile. The engine's startup dummy
+run already exercises the kernels, so with a warm cache the first real request is fast.
+
+To pre-warm specific shapes (e.g. at image build time):
+
+```python
+from vllm_omni.quantization.quack_fp8 import warmup_quack_fp8
+# (M, K, N) per linear; M = number of tokens for your resolution/frame count
+warmup_quack_fp8([(14040, 2048, 6144), (14040, 2048, 2048)])
+```
+
+> The PyPI package is `quack-kernels` (imported as `quack`); plain `pip install
+> quack` is an unrelated statistics library. Requires CUDA 12.9+ and Python 3.12.

+### VAE Patch Parallelism
+
+[VAE Patch Parallelism](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/vae_patch_parallel.html) splits Bagel VAE **decode/encode** tiles across multiple GPUs on the **DiT stage**, reducing **per-GPU peak memory during VAE decode**. Use it when high-resolution `text2img` or `img2img` hits VAE OOM or large decode spikes.
+
+**Bagel-specific notes:**
+
+- Implemented in `BagelPipeline` via `DistributedAutoEncoder` (DiT stage only).
+- **Single-stage** is the simplest path: one DiT process with TP + VAE patch parallel.
+- **Two-stage**: enable on **stage 1 (DiT)** only; stage 0 (Thinker) keeps encoder-only `VAEEncoder` and does not use VAE patch parallel.
+- You need a DiT `world_size` ≥ `vae_patch_parallel_size` (typically `tensor_parallel_size=2` on that stage). VAE PP reuses the DiT process group; it is not a standalone second-GPU VAE worker.
+
+**Single-stage via deploy YAML** (recommended for `end2end.py`):

+```
+
+**Startup log checks:**
+

+INFO ... vae_patch_parallel_size=2 requires vae_use_tiling; automatically enabling it.

+
+| Setting | Role |
+| :------ | :--- |
+| `parallel_config.tensor_parallel_size` | DiT world size / TP (must be ≥ `vae_patch_parallel_size`) |
+| `parallel_config.vae_patch_parallel_size` | Number of ranks for distributed VAE tiles (`1` = off) |
+| `vae_use_tiling` | Enable spatial tiling (auto-enabled when `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1`) |

 #### Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel (HSDP)
 
 For larger Bagel deployments on multiple GPUs, you can enable HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel) by modifying the stage configuration (for example, [`bagel.yaml`](../../../vllm_omni/deploy/bagel.yaml)). HSDP shards transformer weights across GPUs to reduce per-GPU memory usage.

+# Lance (ByteDance) — offline inference
+
+[Lance](https://huggingface.co/bytedance-research/Lance) is a 3B unified
+autoregressive + diffusion multimodal model on a Qwen2.5-VL backbone. It is
+**BAGEL-lineage** (ByteDance Mixture-of-Transformers): the released `Lance_3B`
+checkpoint uses the same `*_moe_gen` MoT weight layout as BAGEL, so vLLM-Omni
+implements it by reusing the BAGEL transformer core and specializing only the
+ViT (Qwen2.5-VL vision), the VAE (Wan2.2) and the checkpoint layout.
+
+This example covers all six Lance modalities from the upstream HF model card:
+`t2i`, `t2v`, `image_edit`, `video_edit`, `x2t_image` (image understanding) and
+`x2t_video` (video understanding).
+
+## Hardware
+
+Single NVIDIA GPU with 16 GB+ VRAM in BF16 (we test on B300 / A100). CUDA ≥ 12.4.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+# Text-to-image
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance \
+    --prompts "a corgi astronaut on the moon, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --cfg-text-scale 4.0 --timestep-shift 3.5 \
+    --height 1024 --width 1024 \
+    --output ./out
+
+# Text-to-video (uses the Lance_3B_Video subfolder; see ``--modality``
+# choices for all six task variants)
+python examples/offline_inference/lance/end2end.py \
+    --model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video --modality text2video \
+    --num-frames 25 --video-height 480 --video-width 768 \
+    --prompts "a cat playing piano, cinematic" \
+    --steps 30 --fps 8 --output ./out
+```
+
+`video_edit` requires `--model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video` so
+the 3-D `latent_pos_embed` table is loaded; the other paths can point at
+the top-level `bytedance-research/Lance` repo and resolve the right
+sub-checkpoint automatically.
+
+The HF repo bundles everything (`Lance_3B/`, `Lance_3B_Video/`,
+`Qwen2.5-VL-ViT/`, `Wan2.2_VAE.pth`); no separate downloads are required.
+
+## Defaults
+
+Matches upstream `inference_lance.sh`: 30 denoising steps, timestep-shift 3.5,
+text CFG 4.0, seed 42, 1024×1024 (override with `--height` / `--width`).  For
+the understanding paths (`img2text` / `video2text`), sampling is enabled by
+default at `--text-temperature 0.8` because Lance's greedy decoder emits an
+immediate EOS for many prompts.

 The default deploy YAML already runs thinker+talker, so spoken output only requires requesting `audio` (or `text,audio`) modalities.
 The thinker processes your multimodal input, generates text, then the talker synthesises the response as speech.

+### VAE Patch Parallelism
+
+[VAE Patch Parallelism](https://docs.vllm.ai/projects/vllm-omni/en/latest/user_guide/diffusion/parallelism/vae_patch_parallel.html) distributes Bagel VAE **decode/encode** across multiple GPUs by splitting latent tiles. It lowers **per-GPU peak memory during VAE decode**, which helps high-resolution `text2img` / `img2img` when VAE becomes a bottleneck.
+
+**Scope for Bagel:**
+
+| Topology | VAE patch parallel |
+| :------- | :----------------- |
+| **Single-stage** (DiT only) | Supported on stage 0 (`BagelPipeline` + `DistributedAutoEncoder`) |
+| **Two-stage** | Supported on **stage 1 (DiT)** only; stage 0 (Thinker) uses encoder-only VAE and is unrelated |
+
+**Requirements:**
+
+- `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1` and a distributed VAE (`DistributedAutoEncoder` on the DiT pipeline).
+- The DiT process group must have at least `vae_patch_parallel_size` ranks. In practice this means the diffusion stage `world_size` must be ≥ 2 (commonly `tensor_parallel_size=2` on that stage).
+- `vae_use_tiling` must be enabled. If you set `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1` and omit tiling, the registry auto-enables `vae_use_tiling` at startup.
+
+VAE patch parallel **reuses the DiT process group** (`dit_group`); it does not create a separate VAE-only worker pool. It is not a substitute for single-GPU VAE tiling (`vae_pp=1`).
+
+**Online serving (single-stage, 2 GPUs):**
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1 vllm serve ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL-7B-MoT --omni --port 8091 \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/bagel_single_stage.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --vae-patch-parallel-size 2 \
+    --vae-use-tiling
+```
+
+**Online serving (two-stage, VAE PP on DiT stage 1):** use a custom deploy YAML, for example:
+
+```yaml
+stages:
+  - stage_id: 0
+    devices: "0"
+    # Thinker (AR) — no VAE patch parallel here
+
+  - stage_id: 1
+    devices: "0,1"
+    vae_use_tiling: true
+    parallel_config:
+      tensor_parallel_size: 2
+      vae_patch_parallel_size: 2
+```
+
+```bash
+vllm serve ByteDance-Seed/BAGEL-7B-MoT --omni --port 8091 \
+    --deploy-config /path/to/bagel_vae_pp.yaml
+```
+
+**Verify it is active** (check server logs at startup):
+
+```text
+INFO ... vae_patch_parallel_size=2 requires vae_use_tiling; automatically enabling it.
+```
+
+| CLI flag | Default | Description |
+| :------- | :------ | :---------- |
+| `--vae-patch-parallel-size` | `1` | Number of DiT ranks used for VAE tile parallelism. Set to `2` or higher to enable. Should be ≤ DiT process group size (typically match `--tensor-parallel-size` on the diffusion stage). |
+| `--vae-use-tiling` | off | Enable VAE spatial tiling. Required for VAE patch parallel (auto-enabled when `vae_patch_parallel_size > 1`). |
+
 #### Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel (HSDP)
 
 For larger Bagel deployments on multiple GPUs, you can enable HSDP (Hybrid Sharded Data Parallel) by modifying the stage configuration (for example, [`bagel.yaml`](../../../vllm_omni/deploy/bagel.yaml)). HSDP shards transformer weights across GPUs to reduce per-GPU memory usage.

+# DreamZero
+
+DreamZero is the robot-policy serving example for the OpenPI-compatible `/v1/realtime/robot/openpi` endpoint.
+
+## Supported checkpoints
+
+| Model | HuggingFace repo |
+|---|---|
+| DreamZero-DROID | `GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID` |
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Start the server
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/dreamzero/run_server.sh
+```
+
+By default this launches:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+Override `MODEL`, `PORT`, `HOST`, `DEPLOY_CONFIG`, or `SERVED_MODEL_NAME` through the script environment if needed.
+
+### Install example dependencies
+
+The core `pip install -e .` setup does not include the extra packages used by the DreamZero example scripts.
+
+- `openpi_client.py`:
+  `openpi-client`, `websockets`, `opencv-python`
+- `droid_sim_eval_client.py`:
+  `mediapy`, `websockets`, `openpi-client`
+
+The DROID sim-eval script also needs an Isaac Lab environment that provides `isaaclab`, `isaaclab_tasks`, `sim_evals`, and `gymnasium`.
+
+If you run the DROID client on Python < 3.12, also install `typing-extensions`.
+
+### Configure TP and CFG parallelism
+
+The bundled DreamZero configs intentionally keep only:
+
+| Config | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml` | Default TP=1, CFG parallel disabled |
+| `vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml` | TP=1, CFG parallel size=2 |
+
+For other topologies, use CLI parallelism flags and update stage 0 `devices` with `--stage-overrides`. The number of listed devices must match `tensor_parallel_size * cfg_parallel_size`.
+
+TP=2 with CFG parallel disabled:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --stage-overrides '{"0": {"devices": "0,1"}}' \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+TP=2 with CFG parallel size=2:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve GEAR-Dreams/DreamZero-DROID --omni --port 8000 \
+    --served-model-name dreamzero-droid \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero.yaml \
+    --tensor-parallel-size 2 \
+    --cfg-parallel-size 2 \
+    --stage-overrides '{"0": {"devices": "0,1,2,3"}}' \
+    --enforce-eager --disable-log-stats
+```
+
+### Download example assets
+
+The OpenPI client and DROID sim-eval example expect the three camera MP4 files in `outputs/dreamzero/assets`.
+
+```bash
+hf download YangshenDeng/vllm-omni-dreamzero-assets --repo-type dataset --local-dir outputs/dreamzero/assets
+```
+
+### Run the OpenPI client
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/dreamzero/openpi_client.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --video-dir outputs/dreamzero/assets
+```
+
+This client uses downloaded example videos and talks to the OpenPI websocket server.
+
+### Run DROID sim eval
+
+```bash
+${ISAACLAB_LAUNCHER} -p examples/online_serving/dreamzero/droid_sim_eval_client.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --scene 1 \
+    --episodes 1 \
+    --headless \
+    --device cuda:0
+```
+
+Set `ISAACLAB_LAUNCHER=path/to/isaaclab.sh` from the vLLM-Omni repository root before running the command.
+This launches Isaac Lab / sim-evals and runs the DROID benchmark loop against the same websocket endpoint.
+
+### Export comparison videos offline
+
+```bash
+python examples/offline_inference/dreamzero/export_prediction_video.py \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/dreamzero_tp1_cfg2.yaml \
+    --save-input-video \
+    --save-gif
+```
+
+The export script uses local `Omni` inference, not the websocket server. It writes the input rollout video and the predicted output video artifacts for side-by-side inspection.
+
+### MolmoSpace demo
+
+```bash
+python examples/online_serving/dreamzero/molmospace_dreamzero_eval_demo.py \
+    --host 127.0.0.1 \
+    --port 8000 \
+    --benchmark_dir /path/to/benchmark \
+    --output_dir /path/to/output
+```
+
+This demo adapts DreamZero to the MolmoSpace-style remote policy eval loop.

+
+This script is the vLLM/OpenPI adaptation of the upstream DreamZero
+`eval_utils/run_sim_eval.py` sim-eval client.
+
+Behavior intentionally kept close to upstream:
+- same DROID observation extraction (`external_cam`, `external_cam_2`,

+
+The default deploy config is the single-stage `lance.yaml`; for `video_edit`
+or `text2video` workloads, point ``DEPLOY_CONFIG`` at a video-checkpoint
+config (or pass ``--model bytedance-research/Lance/Lance_3B_Video`` to
+`run_server.sh`).

+# vLLM-Omni · MiniCPM-o 4.5 Online Demo
+
+Gradio-based web UI for **MiniCPM-o 4.5** served via `vllm-omni`'s
+OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
+
+The UI supports:
+
+- **Inputs**: text prompt + optional image, audio (file or mic), video.
+- **Outputs**: text + speech (WAV player).
+
+## 1. Start the backend server
+
+The deploy config auto-loads via `--omni`; the default
+`vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5.yaml` targets a 2-GPU layout (thinker on
+GPU 0, talker + t2w sharing GPU 1).  For other hardware layouts pick
+one of the deploy variants below.
+
+| deploy config | GPUs | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `minicpmo_4_5.yaml` (default) | 2 | Thinker on GPU0, talker+t2w on GPU1. |
+| `minicpmo_4_5_3gpu.yaml` | 3 | Thinker 2-way TP on GPU0/1, talker+t2w share GPU2. |
+| `minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml` | 8 | Full 8x4090 layout. |
+
+Default (2-GPU):
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+Other layouts via `--deploy-config`:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 --omni \
+    --deploy-config vllm_omni/deploy/minicpmo_4_5_8x4090.yaml \
+    --trust-remote-code \
+    --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8099
+```
+
+## 2. Launch the Gradio demo
+
+```bash
+bash examples/online_serving/minicpmo/run_gradio_demo.sh
+
+# Or run the python entry point directly:
+python examples/online_serving/minicpmo/gradio_demo.py \
+    --minicpmo45-api-base http://localhost:8099/v1 \
+    --minicpmo45-model openbmb/MiniCPM-o-4_5 \
+    --port 7862
+```
+
+Open `http://<host>:7862` in a browser.
+
+## Notes
+
+- **TTS trigger**: the demo sets
+  `extra_body.chat_template_kwargs.use_tts_template=True`, which appends
+  `<|tts_bos|>` to the assistant prefix.
+- Uncheck **"Generate speech output (TTS)"** to get text-only responses
+  (faster).
+- The audio output is the raw WAV returned by the stage-1 talker +
+  Token2Wav; sample rate is 24 kHz.
+- Video input is forwarded as a base64 `video_url` entry; the server needs
+  decord/torchvision to decode it.
