  • The purpose of the PR, such as "Fix some issue (link existing issues this PR will resolve)".
  • The test plan, such as providing test command.
  • The test results, such as pasting the results comparison before and after, or e2e results
  • (Optional) The necessary documentation update, such as updating supported_models.md and examples for a new model.

👋 Hi! Thank you for contributing to the vLLM project.

💬 Join our developer Slack at https://slack.vllm.ai to discuss your PR in #pr-reviews, coordinate on features in #feat- channels, or join special interest groups in #sig- channels.

Just a reminder: PRs would not trigger full CI run by default. Instead, it would only run fastcheck CI which starts running only a small and essential subset of CI tests to quickly catch errors. You can run other CI tests on top of those by going to your fastcheck build on Buildkite UI (linked in the PR checks section) and unblock them. If you do not have permission to unblock, ping simon-mo or khluu to add you in our Buildkite org.

Once the PR is approved and ready to go, your PR reviewer(s) can run CI to test the changes comprehensively before merging.

To run CI, PR reviewers can either: Add ready label to the PR or enable auto-merge.

🚀

Summary of Changes

Hello @jatery55555, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces the capability to integrate and serve a reward model within the vLLM framework. It primarily focuses on adding a new API endpoint (/v1/score) that enables users to query a loaded reward model for scoring prompt-response pairs. This involves creating a dedicated model class for QWen-based reward models and registering the new API route, enhancing vLLM's utility for reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) applications.

Highlights

  • New API Endpoint for Reward Scoring: I've added a new /v1/score API endpoint to the vLLM API server. This endpoint allows external clients to submit a prompt and response pair and receive a scalar reward score from a loaded reward model. This is particularly useful for applications requiring programmatic access to reward model evaluations.
  • QWen Reward Model Integration: I've introduced a new QWenRewardModel class, which extends the existing QWen model. This class is specifically designed to load a pre-trained reward head (a small neural network) and compute a reward score. The scoring mechanism involves extracting the hidden state corresponding to the eos_token from the base QWen model and passing it through the loaded reward head.
  • Robust Tokenizer Separator Handling: I've improved the logic for constructing prompt strings in cross-encoding scoring within serving_score.py. The change ensures that the separator token (tokenizer.sep_token) is handled gracefully, defaulting to an empty string if tokenizer.sep_token is None. This makes the system more robust to different tokenizer configurations.

Code Review

The pull request introduces a reward model and speculative decoding functionality. It adds a new QWenRewardModel class, a /v1/score API endpoint, and related utilities. The code appears well-structured and addresses the intended functionality. However, some improvements can be made regarding error handling, logging, and potential edge cases.

Returning a score of -1.0 when the model doesn't have a 'score' attribute might be misleading. Consider raising an exception with a more informative error message, or providing a configuration option to disable the /v1/score endpoint if the model doesn't support it.

        if not hasattr(model, "score"): 
            raise AttributeError("The model does not have a 'score' attribute.")

It's good to handle the case where tokenizer.sep_token might be None. However, consider logging a warning if tokenizer.sep_token is indeed None, as it might indicate an unexpected tokenizer configuration.

Suggested change
sep_token = tokenizer.sep_token if tokenizer.sep_token else ''
request_prompt = f"{t1}{sep_token}{t2}"
sep_token = tokenizer.sep_token if tokenizer.sep_token else ''
if not tokenizer.sep_token:
logger.warning("tokenizer.sep_token is None, using empty string as separator.")
request_prompt = f"{t1}{sep_token}{t2}"

Consider logging a warning instead of raising a FileNotFoundError if the reward head parameters are not found. This would allow the model to run without the reward head, potentially in a different mode. Also, provide instructions on how to obtain or train the reward head.

Suggested change
if not os.path.exists(reward_head_path):
raise FileNotFoundError(f"未找到 reward_head.pt: {reward_head_path}")
if not os.path.exists(reward_head_path):
logger.warning(f"Reward head not found at {reward_head_path}. Functionality depending on reward model will be disabled.")
self.reward_head = None # Or some other appropriate default

Consider adding a check to ensure that eos_index is not equal to the length of the input IDs. If it is, it means that the EOS token was not found in the input, and taking the hidden state at eos_index will result in accessing the last token's hidden state, which might not be what's intended.

Suggested change
eos_index = eos_mask.int().argmax(dim=1) # [B]
eos_hidden = hidden[torch.arange(input_ids.size(0)), eos_index] # [B, H]
eos_index = eos_mask.int().argmax(dim=1) # [B]
if torch.any(eos_index == input_ids.size(1)):
logger.warning("EOS token not found in input, using last token's hidden state.")
eos_hidden = hidden[torch.arange(input_ids.size(0)), eos_index] # [B, H]
