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.

323-335: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the original YAML task slot.

SandboxPipeline compresses populated slots into self.tasks, but this loop uses the compressed index as the YAML key. With task_0 and task_10, the second task reads task_1, so explicit Slurm fields from task_10 are missed. Keep (slot_index, task) pairs during collection and use the original slot index here. Add a regression test for a non-sequential slot with an explicit field equal to its factory default.

Suggested fix direction
-            for _task_index, _task in enumerate(self.tasks):
+            for _task_index, _task in slot_tasks:

Build slot_tasks from the original task_0 through task_10 fields before flattening them into self.tasks.

116-119: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Remove the staging directory when conversion fails.

The handler closes the open shard file but leaves staging on disk. Every raise inside the try block — the missing traces.jsonl at Line 59, a duplicate trace id at Line 70, or invalid token/mask data at Line 77 — leaves a hidden .<name>.tmp-<pid> directory that holds partial shards. The directory name includes the pid, so each retry creates a new one and the partial data accumulates next to output_dir.

♻️ Proposed cleanup on the failure path
     except BaseException:
         if shard is not None:
             shard.close()
+        shutil.rmtree(staging, ignore_errors=True)
         raise

Add the import at the top of the file:

- Line 64: Update _aggregate_accuracy_counts and EagleTrainingPlot.on_log so
normalized accuracy values remain on the device during aggregation and
non-master ranks do not call .cpu(), .numpy(), .item(), or float(step_acc). Move
host conversion and formatting after the master-rank guard, preserving the
existing output values and logging behavior on the master rank.

In `@tools/launcher/common/query.py`:
- Line 346: Update the cache path construction in the Dataset.map synthesis flow
so shard cache entries are keyed by the input rows and generation settings, or

interrupted runs without a .done marker cannot reuse stale synthesize output,
while preserving reuse for matching inputs and settings.

Avoid host synchronization on every rank.

EagleTrainingPlot.on_log() calls _aggregate_accuracy_counts() before its master-rank guards. For CUDA tensors, .cpu().numpy(), .item(), and the later float(step_acc) each force host synchronization on every rank. Keep normalized values on the device until host formatting is required on the master rank.

Hugging Face Datasets Dataset.map cache_file_name load_from_cache_file explicit cache file reuse documentation

💡 Result:

In the Hugging Face datasets library, Dataset.map manages cache usage through the cache_file_name (or cache_file_names for DatasetDict) and load_from_cache_file parameters [1][2]. Key mechanisms for cache control: 1. load_from_cache_file: This boolean parameter (defaulting to True) controls whether the library attempts to load a precomputed result from the cache if one exists [3][1]. Setting this to False forces the library to recompute the transformation and write a new cache file, ignoring any existing compatible cache [4][5]. 2. cache_file_name: This argument allows you to specify a custom path for the resulting cache file [6][7]. When provided, the library will attempt to store the output of the .map() operation at that exact location [1][6]. Reuse Considerations: To explicitly reuse a specific cache file, you must ensure that the dataset's state—often defined by its "fingerprint"—matches the cache file you are attempting to load [8][9]. The library identifies compatible cache files by hashing the transformation function and the parameters passed to .map() [8][9]. If you provide a cache_file_name, the library uses it to store the output, but successful loading during a subsequent call depends on whether the system can correctly identify that the existing file matches the current computation's requirements [10][1]. Users have reported that simply providing the path is sometimes insufficient if the internal fingerprinting mechanism does not align with the provided file, often requiring the use of new_fingerprint to force the library to associate the computation with a specific state [10]. Important distinctions: - Dataset vs. DatasetDict: If you are calling .map() on a DatasetDict, you must use cache_file_names (plural), which expects a dictionary mapping split names to their respective cache file paths [1][2][11]. - Automatic Cache: By default, the library automatically manages cache files in the directory defined by HF_DATASETS_CACHE (or ~/.cache/huggingface/datasets) using automatically generated hashes [12][5][8]. Manual control via cache_file_name bypasses this automatic generation [1][6].

site:github.com/huggingface/datasets/blob datasets 3.0.0 arrow_dataset.py map cache_file_name load_from_cache_file os.path.exists

💡 Result:

In the Hugging Face Datasets library (including version 3.0.0), the map method uses cache_file_name and load_from_cache_file to manage how transformation results are stored and retrieved [1][2]. When you call map, the library automatically generates a cache file path using a dataset fingerprint [3][4]. The cache_file_name argument allows you to override this by specifying a custom path for the resulting Arrow file [1][2]. If you provide a custom cache_file_name, the library will save the result of the transformation to that specific location [1][2]. The load_from_cache_file parameter controls whether the library attempts to reuse existing computation results [2][5]: - If True (default), the library checks if a cache file for the current transformation already exists and, if so, reloads it instead of re-executing the transformation [6][2]. - If False, the transformation is re-executed, even if a cache file exists [6]. Regarding os.path.exists and the library's internal behavior: The library handles file existence checks internally when determining whether to use an existing cache file [2][4]. While you can verify if a file exists at your specified cache_file_name using os.path.exists in your own code, the Datasets library logic manages the association between the dataset state (fingerprint) and the storage location [3][4]. If you explicitly provide a cache_file_name, the library will use it to store the output, and subsequent calls with the same cache_file_name (depending on the load_from_cache_file setting) will access that file [1][2].

Prevent stale synthesis cache reuse after interrupted runs.

Dataset.map() writes synthesize output to the fixed shard_{shard_id}.arrow path and reuses it by default. The output also depends on the input rows and generation settings. If processing stops before the .done marker is created, a later run can reuse stale output. Include these values in the cache key, or validate a persisted run manifest before reuse.

Which released or nightly vllm/vllm-openaiimage tag or digest includes vLLM PR#46788, the aux hidden-state capture fix required by this Qwen3-8B DSpark configuration?

💡 Result:

The fix for auxiliary hidden-state capture—which addresses the issue where final-layer hidden states were silently dropped in models using the deepseek_v2 backbone (including Qwen3-8B configurations using DSpark)—was implemented in vLLM PR #46973 [1][2]. PR #46788, as referenced in your query, does not correspond to the aux hidden-state capture fix. The fix is explicitly identified in PR #46973 [1][3][2]. Because vLLM nightly images are built automatically from the main branch, any nightly tag (vllm/vllm-openai:nightly or specific architecture/CUDA variants) created after the merge date of PR #46973 (which was merged on June 29, 2026) [3] includes this fix. Since today is September 5, 2026, all current nightly image builds contain this fix [4]. To ensure you have the fix, you should pull the latest vllm/vllm-openai:nightly image. You can verify the inclusion of the fix in a specific image by checking the VLLM_BUILD_COMMIT environment variable [5] against the merge commit of PR #46973, which is 0ca39c4f1fc450339f57ceca6bddc2af1abe84a5 [3].

site:github.com/vllm-project/vllm PR 46973 aux hidden state capture merged commit vllm-openai Docker nightly tag

💡 Result:

Pull Request #46973, titled "[Bugfix] Capture final-layer aux hidden state in deepseek_v2 backbone," was merged into the vLLM repository on June 29, 2026 [1][2]. The PR fixed an issue where the deepseek_v2 backbone model family (including DeepSeek V2/V3, GLM-MoE, and Kimi) failed to capture the final-layer auxiliary hidden state when specifically requested [1]. Prior to this fix, requesting the aux hidden state for the final layer (id equal to num_hidden_layers) resulted in the state being silently dropped, causing a mismatch in the number of returned states [1]. The fix ensures that the final layer's output is captured, consistent with the behavior of the Llama backbone, and is included in the v0.25.0 release of vLLM [3][4]. Regarding the vllm-openai Docker nightly tag, vLLM maintains automated CI workflows to publish nightly multi-arch images to Docker Hub [5]. While the availability and update frequency of the vllm/vllm-openai:nightly tag have historically been discussed in community issues, the nightly build process is designed to track the main branch [5][6][7]. Users can pull the latest available nightly image from the official repository to ensure they have the most recent features and fixes, such as those included in PR #46973, immediately following their merge into the main branch [6].

site:github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/46788 vLLM auxiliary hidden state final layer capture

💡 Result:

PR #46788 addresses a DeepSeek/vLLM hidden-state capture bug:

  • Previously, eagle_aux_hidden_state_layer_ids=num_layers captured nothing because states were recorded before each layer; the largest valid ID was num_layers - 1.
  • It migrates DeepseekV2Model to EagleModelMixin._maybe_add_hidden_state.
  • New indexing captures embedding output as ID 0 and each layer’s output as idx + 1, enabling final-layer capture with id == num_layers.
  • Existing valid IDs remain compatible for non-pipeline-parallel execution.
  • The PR was closed on August 3, 2026, with the work completed in PR #46973. [1]

The current vLLM documentation likewise states that passing num_hidden_layers can save the final layer’s output, though it is not output-normalized. [2]

vllm PR 46788 final layer aux hidden state capture

💡 Result:

The request “vllm PR 46788 final layer aux hidden state capture” appears to be referencing PR #46788, but the specific “final-layer aux hidden state capture” bugfix is documented in a different vLLM PR: #46973 (deepseek_v2 backbone) and also a separate follow-up for Kimi-K3 (#50815). I could not find evidence in the sources you provided that PR #46788 is the one that fixes final-layer auxiliary hidden-state capture. What is fixed (final-layer aux hidden state capture) 1) deepseek_v2-family backbones (DeepSeek V2/V3, GLM-MoE, etc.) - PR #46973 states that deepseek_v2 captures extract_hidden_states auxiliary hidden states only at decoder-layer inputs (ids 0..num_hidden_layers-1), so requesting an aux id equal to num_hidden_layers (the final layer output) was silently dropped, returning one fewer hidden state than configured; it fixes this by capturing the final layer’s output, “mirroring the llama backbone,” and returns all N requested aux hidden states. [1] 2) Kimi-K3 block-residual backbone final-layer aux capture placement - PR #50815 states that for Kimi-K3, the auxiliary hidden-state output produced at the end of the layer loop is not prefix_sum + hidden_states; it’s produced after the layer loop via attn_res (folding the block-residual bank through output_attn_res_norm/output_attn_res_proj). Therefore, when requesting aux layer id == num_hidden_layers, capturing “inside the loop” produced the wrong tensor; the fix captures the post-attn_res hidden state for the final aux id by moving capture placement to after attn_res (on the last PP rank), preserving correct ordering and matching the model’s output. [2] Authoritative feature behavior (how to request last-layer) - vLLM’s “Hidden State Extraction” docs note that you can save the last-layer’s output hidden states by passing num_hidden_layers as a layer id, and that these last-layer outputs “are not normalized using the output norm.” [3][4] How this relates to PR #46788 - In the search results I have, PR #46788 is only mentioned as being about “DeepSeek auxiliary-layer indexing” in the context of other work (specifically, #46399 and #46788 are contrasted with neither implementing Model Runner V2 support for extract_hidden_states at that point). However, the concrete final-layer capture bugfix details are explicitly described in PR #46973 (deepseek_v2) and PR #50815 (Kimi-K3), not PR #46788. [5][1][2] If you want, paste the exact PR #46788 description/commit text or the filenames/changed code you mean, and I can re-check whether #46788 contains (or precedes) the specific final-layer capture change, versus the later/related bugfixes above.

Pin a vLLM image that contains PR #46973.

This configuration requests the final hidden state, which PR #46973 fixes for the deepseek_v2 backbone. The mutable vllm/vllm-openai:latest tag does not guarantee that fix or a reproducible build. A pre-fix image silently drops the final capture and caps acceptance length. Use an immutable digest for a build that contains PR #46973.

Split each sampling option from its JSON value. common/vllm/query.sh forwards each args item as one argv element, while query.py expects the JSON value after --non-thinking-sampling-params as a separate element. The combined item is rejected by argparse before synthesis starts. Apply the same split to --sampling-params.
