[Example] Qwen3.5 DSpark · E2E Training Example - #2340
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.

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_layerscaptured nothing because states were recorded before each layer; the largest valid ID wasnum_layers - 1. - It migrates
DeepseekV2ModeltoEagleModelMixin._maybe_add_hidden_state. - New indexing captures embedding output as ID
0and each layer’s output asidx + 1, enabling final-layer capture withid == 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]
🌐 Web query:
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 --sampling-params into two args items. common/vllm/query.sh forwards each item as one argv element, so query.py receives the option and JSON as one argument. argparse rejects this combined argument, and every synthesis task fails.

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.
