[Example] [Frozen] Qwen3.5 DSpark · E2E Training Example - #2338
Conversation
Adds the missing Qwen3-8B streaming DSpark pipeline. DSpark examples so far covered only large MoE targets (Kimi-K2.6, MiniMax-M3, both multi-node); this is the small-scale entry point that runs on 2 nodes x 1 GPU, so the pipeline can be exercised end-to-end before scaling up. - tools/launcher/examples/Qwen/Qwen3-8B/hf_streaming_dspark.yaml Combines the MiniMax-M3 DSpark streaming settings with the Qwen3-8B DFlash streaming topology. Keeps batch size and LR at the dspark.yaml defaults rather than the M3 warm-start values, which assume 8 GPUs/node. - examples/speculative_decoding/QWEN3_8B_DSPARK_WALKTHROUGH.md End-to-end handoff doc: data synthesis (hf_synth.yaml) -> streaming training -> evaluation, plus the failure modes that are silent (capture-id off-by-one, non-inherited draft dims, synthesis yield loss). Pre-commit hooks applicable to these two files were run and pass (yamlfmt, check-launcher-yaml, markdownlint-cli2, insert-license). Signed-off-by: h-guo18 <67671475+h-guo18@users.noreply.github.com>
Validated the walkthrough end-to-end on a Slurm cluster (build -> streaming
train -> export). Training and export work as described; the corrections below
are things that only surface when you actually follow the doc.
Blocking setup gaps:
- HF_TOKEN was unlisted, but the prompt corpus is gated; without it Step 1 dies
as DatasetNotFoundError, which reads like a wrong dataset name.
- SLURM_HOST=localhost does not work: the launcher stages artifacts over SSH
even when submitting locally, so sbatch reads from a path nothing populated.
- SLURM_JOB_DIR must pre-exist, and launch.py needs 'uv pip install -e .'
first; both fail with errors that name neither cause.
- Note the identity=<ssh_key> argument, and the nvcr.io pull failure mode.
Content corrections:
- Synthesis writes shard_{id}.jsonl + a .done sentinel; resume needs both and
is whole-shard only, so an interrupted shard restarts from zero.
- Added a runtime estimate (hours per shard) - the most useful thing to know
before launching Step 1.
- The shipped --max-model-len leaves no headroom for this corpus, the exact
failure the doc warns about; say so and give the grep to size it.
- Capture ids are tied to dflash_architecture_config.num_hidden_layers, not a
fixed count of 5.
- Dropped dflash_loss_decay_factor: dflash_loss_objective defaults to 'dpace',
which ignores it outright (the trainer logs a warning saying so).
- data.mode= is inert; streaming is selected by data.streaming_server_url,
injected at runtime by the launcher script.
- On an older vLLM, task_2 fails as AttributeError on 'hc_mult' from the
DeepSeek-V4 DSpark loader, not as a clean method-name rejection.
- Corrected the stale prompt-only-messages hang entry: hf_streaming_dataset
now prefers 'conversations' and skips bad entries rather than stalling.
- Point at /scratchspace/vllm_serve.<n>.log, where serve errors actually land.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Reject non-mapping runtime parameters. When --runtime_params points to a YAML file whose top-level value is a list or scalar, parse_runtime_params returns that value. run_simple then calls .get() and the CLI raises AttributeError. Require a dict after parsing and raise argparse.ArgumentTypeError otherwise.

Hugging Face datasets Dataset.map cache_file_name existing cache file behavior source documentation
💡 Result:
When using the cache_file_name parameter in the Hugging Face datasets Dataset.map method, the library attempts to reuse the existing cache file if it can identify that the file stores the current computation [1][2]. By default, load_from_cache_file is set to True, which triggers this behavior [1][2]. Key aspects of how this works and potential pitfalls include: 1. Identification and Reuse: The library uses a fingerprint system to track transforms [3]. If you specify a cache_file_name and the associated transformation (including function, batching, and other parameters) matches the previously cached data, the existing file is loaded instead of recomputing [3][1][2]. 2. Multiprocessing Mismatch: A known issue occurs when using different num_proc values. Even if you point to an existing cache_file_name, changing the number of processes (num_proc) can cause the library to ignore the existing cache and re-map the dataset, as the internal file naming scheme for multiprocessed cache files often includes the process count [4]. 3. Requirement for Directory Existence: The library does not automatically create parent directories for the specified cache_file_name. If the directory path provided does not exist, the operation will raise a FileNotFoundError [5][6]. 4. Fingerprint Consistency: In some cases, simply providing the correct path is insufficient if the computed fingerprint of the current map operation does not perfectly align with the one stored. Users sometimes find they must explicitly pass the new_fingerprint that corresponds to the intended cache file to force the library to recognize and load it successfully [7]. 5. Disabling Caching: You can force the library to ignore existing caches and recompute by setting load_from_cache_file=False in the map method [1][8]. For best practices, ensure the target directory exists before running the map operation and be aware that changes to parameters like num_proc or the processing function itself will generally invalidate existing cache files and trigger recomputation [4][3].

huggingface datasets v5.0.1 arrow_dataset.py Dataset.map cache_file_name load_from_cache_file source
💡 Result:
In the Hugging Face datasets library, the Dataset.map method uses cache_file_name to specify a path where the resulting mapped dataset is saved [1][2]. This is useful for persisting transformed data and avoiding re-computation across sessions [2]. Key details regarding cache_file_name include: 1. Functionality: When you provide a cache_file_name, the library writes the mapped dataset (as an Arrow file) to the specified location [1]. If load_from_cache_file is set to True (the default), and the file already exists, the library will reload the dataset from that file instead of re-executing the mapping function [3]. 2. Limitations: The provided path must have a pre-existing directory structure; the library does not automatically create parent directories for the cache_file_name path [1][4]. If the parent directory does not exist, a FileNotFoundError will occur [1][4]. 3. Dataset vs. DatasetDict: The cache_file_name parameter is available on the Dataset class [2]. If you are working with a DatasetDict (e.g., a dataset with multiple splits), you must use the cache_file_names argument (plural), which accepts a dictionary mapping split names to their respective file paths [2]. 4. Source Code Location: The logic for Dataset.map and its handling of caching is implemented in src/datasets/arrow_dataset.py within the datasets repository [5][6]. To ensure efficient caching, you can manage the general cache directory using the HF_HOME or HF_DATASETS_CACHE environment variables, or specify individual cache locations using cache_file_name within the .map() call [3]. If you want to force re-computation regardless of cached files, set load_from_cache_file=False [3].

Include the effective synthesis inputs in the map cache key.
datasets==5.0.1 loads an existing explicit cache_file_name by default without comparing it with the current map fingerprint. Since synthesize reads model, endpoint, response mode, and sampling settings from globals, reruns with changed settings or source data can return prior rows without calling synthesize. Include the dataset/configuration fingerprint in the cache filename, or set load_from_cache_file=False when regeneration is required.

Remove staging after conversion failure.
If conversion fails after shard output is written, close shard and remove staging. No repository cleanup path removes the PID-based directory, so repeated failures can accumulate token dumps and consume disk space. Add shutil.rmtree(staging, ignore_errors=True) to the exception handler.

NVIDIA NeMo-Run v0.8.0 SlurmExecutor additional_parameters dependency sbatch implementation
💡 Result:
In NVIDIA NeMo-Run v0.8.0, the SlurmExecutor provides the additional_parameters argument to allow users to pass arbitrary flags to the underlying sbatch command [1][2]. This is specifically designed for Slurm parameters that are not explicitly modeled as arguments in the SlurmExecutor class [1]. Implementation Details: 1. Parameter Type: The additional_parameters argument accepts a dictionary where the keys and values correspond to sbatch flags [1]. For example, {"mail-user": "user@example.com", "mail-type": "BEGIN"} will be rendered as --mail-user=user@example.com --mail-type=BEGIN in the generated sbatch submission script [1]. 2. Usage: You can include this parameter directly in the SlurmExecutor configuration [1][2]: python executor = run.SlurmExecutor( account="your-account", partition="your-partition", additional_parameters={"mail-user": "user@example.com", "mail-type": "END"}, # ... other arguments ) 3. Internal Handling: During the execution flow, NeMo-Run's SlurmExecutor processes your provided additional_parameters dictionary and updates the internal mapping of parameters before generating the final sbatch command [1][3]. It is important to note that these values are applied to the sbatch submission and are distinct from srun arguments [1][4]. Regarding job dependencies, SlurmExecutor manages job scheduling through its own dependency mechanisms (such as dependency_type to control afterok, afterany, etc.), rather than by manually passing --dependency via additional_parameters [5]. Manually overriding dependency flags in additional_parameters is generally discouraged if the built-in workflow management features of NeMo-Run are intended to be used, as they may conflict with the tool's internal job orchestration [5][1].

site:slurm.schedmd.com sbatch duplicate --dependency directive multiple dependency options
💡 Result:
In Slurm, you can specify multiple dependencies in an sbatch command using the --dependency (or -d) option. You must use a single --dependency flag followed by a list of dependencies that are grouped using specific separators [1][2][3]. The dependency list must use either a comma (,) or a question mark (?) as a separator; you cannot mix both types in a single dependency string [1][2][4]. 1. AND condition (Comma,): When you use a comma, all specified dependencies must be satisfied for the job to start [1][2][3]. Example: sbatch --dependency=afterok:123,afterok:124 my_script.sh (This job will only start if both job 123 and job 124 complete successfully.) 2. OR condition (Question mark?): When you use a question mark, the job will start if any one of the specified dependencies is satisfied [1][2][3]. Example: sbatch --dependency=afterok:123?afternotok:124 my_script.sh (This job will start if either job 123 completes successfully OR job 124 fails.) Each dependency type (e.g., afterok, afterany, afternotok) can be followed by one or more job IDs separated by colons [1][5][6]. Important notes: - You must use exactly one --dependency flag per command [1]. - Dependencies can be managed after job submission using the scontrol update command [1][7]. - Once a dependency fails (e.g., a preceding job fails when an afterok dependency was required), the dependent job will typically never run, even if the failed job is requeued [1][2][3].

[IMPORTANT ModeState] resume_model_only silently discards the recipe's dflash.* overrides.
Issue. When resume_model_only=true and this is the first run, model_only_init=True, and the new guard at line 224 requires checkpoint_is_hf to be true. So the if checkpoint_is_hf: branch is taken by construction — the model is built by load_vlm_or_llm(checkpoint) + modelopt_state restore. Every mtsp.convert(model, [(..., cfg)]) call lives inside the else: branch (lines 262–281), so the recipe's DFlash config is never applied on this path. The restored DFlashConfig from modelopt_state.pth wins for every field.
Why it matters. The finetuning recipe added in this PR depends on exactly that override. tools/launcher/examples/Qwen/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B/hf_streaming_dspark_finetuning_multi_node.yaml differs from the pretraining YAML in a single dflash.* value — dflash.dflash_num_anchors=4096 (vs. 512) — alongside training.training_seq_len=32768 and training.resume_model_only=true. That anchor count is the knob the long-context finetune stage exists to change, and it is dropped: self._num_anchors = self.dflash_num_anchors (hf_dflash.py:493) is only assigned in modify(), which does not re-run on the restore path. The finetune job runs at 32768 tokens with 512 anchors and no warning — a config that looks correct in the YAML, in the launcher logs, and in pprint(recipe), but not in the model.
Fix. After the modelopt_state restore on the checkpoint_is_hf path, either (a) re-apply the recipe's mutable DFlash fields to the restored model and re-derive the dependent attributes, or (b) compare the recipe's dflash block against the restored config and raise on any difference so the mismatch cannot pass silently. (b) is the smaller change and matches the "fail loud" style used elsewhere in this file; (a) is what the finetuning YAML actually needs. Structural sketch posted as a top-level comment.

[IMPORTANT Compatibility] This membership test resurrects inheritance that was previously dead code, silently changing draft-model shapes for existing recipes.
Issue. The old condition was if not hasattr(self.dflash_config, attr) or getattr(self.dflash_config, attr) is None. Because self.dflash_config is a _Qwen3Config (line 393), all five _setdefault_attrs are always populated with Qwen3 defaults, so the condition was never true and nothing was ever inherited from the base. The new attr not in config.dflash_architecture_config test makes inheritance actually fire.
Why it matters. Two distinct consequences:
-
Shape/config change for unpinned recipes. Any DFlash/DSpark recipe that does not explicitly pin
num_attention_heads/num_key_value_heads/intermediate_sizenow builds a differently shaped draft — base-model values instead of the Qwen3Config defaults (32 / 8 / 22016) it got before. Previously trained draft checkpoints will fail to load into the newly built module.max_position_embeddingsalso changes and is written into the exportedconfig.json. The recipes in this repo pin the attention dims, so in-tree tests won't catch it, but any user recipe that relied on the defaults breaks. This isn't called out in the PR description. -
rms_norm_epsis now permanently unreachable.conversion.py:48doesconfig.dflash_architecture_config = {**default_dflash_config, **custom_config}, anddefault_dflash_confighardcodesrms_norm_eps: 1e-06. So"rms_norm_eps" in config.dflash_architecture_configis always true and the base value is never inherited — a draft for a base model with a different eps silently keeps 1e-6, which is exactly the case this list was meant to cover.
Fix. For (2), either drop rms_norm_eps from default_dflash_config so the setdefault can reach it, or drop it from _setdefault_attrs and document that it is a static default — the current state claims to inherit and does not. For (1), state the behavior change in the PR description / release notes; the stale comment in modelopt_recipes/general/speculative_decoding/dspark.yaml:85-86 ("the draft is an independent Qwen3 model and does NOT inherit these from the base") is now false and should be updated too.

[IMPORTANT Export] This reverses a deliberate export choice about draft attention causality, and the new comment asserts the opposite of what the removed one did.
Issue. The previous code left layer_types at all-full_attention for SWA drafts, and its comment explained why: with layer_types all full_attention plus the nested dflash_config.{use_swa, swa_window_size, causal: False}, vLLM applies a non-causal sliding window (MiMo-style) to every draft layer. This hunk now writes layer_types = ["sliding_attention"] * n and top-level sliding_window, while keeping causal: False nested — and the new comment claims this is merely "making layer_types explicit."
Why it matters. sliding_attention in layer_types is the standard HF/vLLM signal for a causal sliding window; it's the same field Gemma-2/Qwen3 use for ordinary causal SWA layers. Unless vLLM's DFlash path unconditionally lets dflash_config.use_swa / causal: False override layer_types in _resolve_layer_attention, this changes the draft's inference-time attention mask from non-causal to causal. That is a silent acceptance-rate regression — the draft still runs, still produces plausible tokens, just accepts fewer — and it applies to every SWA draft, including both Qwen3.5 recipes added in this PR (dflash_swa_window_size=4096). Mask-causality mismatches between training and inference are precisely the class of bug that doesn't surface in unit tests: the updated test_export_swa_fields only asserts the field is written, not what it means downstream.
Fix. Please state in the PR description which vLLM revision resolves this, and which field wins there when layer_types[i] == "sliding_attention" and dflash_config.causal is False disagree. If layer_types wins, revert to all-full_attention. If dflash_config wins, the comment should say so explicitly (it's load-bearing, not cosmetic) rather than describing the change as clarification. Either way DFlashConfig.dflash_swa_window_size's docstring at modelopt/torch/speculative/config.py:152-163 is now stale — it documents only the nested use_swa/swa_window_size plus top-level sliding_window, not layer_types.

[SUGGESTION] The nested-rope_parameters fallback only covers rope_theta, so rope_type is not enforced on a Transformers-5 base config.
Issue. The attr == "rope_theta" guards on lines 423 and 430/443 mean that for rope_type (and rope_interleaved) the code still reads the flat getattr(base_config, attr). On Transformers 5 those keys live inside base_config.rope_parameters, so base_val is None → continue, and the draft keeps whatever rope_type _Qwen3Config defaulted to.
Why it matters. The surrounding comment states these are "ENFORCED to match the base model" because a draft/target RoPE mismatch makes training and inference disagree. The fallback added here restores that guarantee for rope_theta on TF5 bases but leaves rope_type unenforced — so a base with e.g. rope_type: "yarn" or a non-default variant silently trains a "default"-RoPE draft, with no warning. The new test_fakebase_reads_transformers5_rope_theta covers the theta path only.
Fix. Route all three keys through the same nested lookup and write-back instead of special-casing rope_theta — e.g. resolve base_rope = getattr(base_config, "rope_parameters", None) or {} once and read getattr(base_config, attr, None) or base_rope.get(attr), and mirror that on the draft side with the existing draft_rope_parameters dict. That also removes the three attr == "rope_theta" branches.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
[SUGGESTION] This guard misreports "no checkpoint at all" as "checkpoint is not HF format."
Issue. _is_hf_format_checkpoint returns False for None (lines 154-168). So with resume_model_only=true, an empty output_dir, and no resume_from_checkpoint, we get checkpoint = None, model_only_init = True, checkpoint_is_hf = False → this raises "resume_model_only requires a consolidated Hugging Face checkpoint."
Why it matters. Minor, but the message points at the wrong problem: the user's checkpoint isn't the wrong format, there isn't one. Debugging a launcher YAML where <<global_vars.draft_model>> interpolated to an empty/typo'd path will send them looking at safetensors layout rather than at the path.
Fix. Distinguish the two cases:

[SUGGESTION] The - 1 shifts existing vLLM DFLASH benchmark numbers by one token, and diverges from the SGLang DFLASH path.
Issue. num_speculative_tokens for DFLASH was previously speculative_num_draft_tokens (i.e. --block_size) and is now block_size - 1. Two follow-on concerns:
- Any previously recorded vLLM DFLASH acceptance-length / throughput numbers are no longer comparable to new runs at the same
--block_size, with nothing in the output flagging the reinterpretation. - The SGLang DFLASH branch still forwards
speculative_num_draft_tokensunmodified, so the same--block_size Nnow means different draft lengths on the two backends — which makes cross-backend comparisons in this harness misleading. --block_size 1yieldsnum_speculative_tokens: 0, which vLLM will reject with an opaque error rather than a harness-level message.
Why it matters. This is a benchmark harness; the value of the numbers is that they're comparable across runs and backends. A silent off-by-one in the meaning of a CLI flag is the kind of thing that gets discovered after a results table has already been shared.
Fix. If the anchor-token convention is correct for vLLM, apply the same - 1 in the SGLang DFLASH branch (or explain in the comment why SGLang's block accounting differs), and guard the degenerate case — max(1, (kwargs.get("speculative_num_draft_tokens") or 8) - 1) or an explicit parser.error for --block_size < 2 with DFLASH. Worth a note in the specdec_bench README/changelog that the flag's meaning changed.
