Dev Engineer Review

  • Adds functional, accuracy, serving, and performance coverage for Nemotron 3.5 Lightning 30B NVFP4 and BF16.
  • Separates NVFP4 accuracy coverage between Marlin on Hopper and CuTeDSL on Blackwell.
  • Adds MTP, chunked-prefill, Mamba cache, CUDA graph, and sampling configurations. Verify these settings on each target GPU.
  • Removes the --use_kv_cache_manager_v2=false quickstart override. Verify default behavior.
  • Review finding counts: unavailable.

QA Engineer Review

  • Adds Marlin and CuTeDSL MTP-3 chunked-prefill accuracy tests.
  • Adds mixed-prompt serving tests for NVFP4 and BF16.
  • Adds NVFP4 and BF16 MTP performance tests and checkpoint mappings.
  • Adds three functional and two performance entries to the Spark qa/ lists.
  • Coverage verdict: needs follow-up because CI reported instability and test results were not supplied.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch.py: Covers backend-specific NVFP4 accuracy paths. Verify GPU restrictions and accuracy results.

Walkthrough

The PR expands Nemotron 3.5 Lightning accuracy, serving, performance, and Spark test coverage. It also removes one Nemotron-Nano quickstart argument.

Changes

Nemotron 3.5 Lightning coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Accuracy backend coverage
tests/integration/defs/accuracy/test_llm_api_pytorch.py
The shared MTP-3 chunked-prefill setup now accepts the MoE backend and optional NVFP4 GEMM configuration. Marlin and Blackwell-only CuTeDSL tests use the helper.
Serving configuration and validation
tests/integration/defs/examples/serve/test_configs/Nemotron35_Lightning_30B.yml, tests/integration/defs/examples/serve/test_serve.py
The serving configuration adds caching, CUDA graphs, MTP, chunked prefill, logging, streaming, and overlap scheduling. Shared mixed-prompt validation covers Nemotron 3 Super and NVFP4/BF16 Lightning variants.
Performance benchmark registration
tests/integration/defs/perf/*, tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_spark_*.yml
NVFP4 and BF16 MTP paths, serving settings, model classifications, dataset mappings, and Spark test cases are added.

Quickstart command update

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0faff

The remaining issues affect QA reliability rather than production behavior: unavailable checkpoints can fail the test job, while scheduler regressions may go undetected. The PR is low risk to merge, but these test fixes should be addressed.

🟡 Minor · Skip only when the precision-specific model directory is unavailable. · test_serve.py:418-419

tests/integration/defs/examples/serve/test_serve.py:418-419
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Skip only when the precision-specific model directory is unavailable.

model_path comes from the external llm_models_root(), while common_config comes from the repository through serve_test_root. A missing model can be a valid unavailable-capability condition, but a missing repository config must fail.

    assert os.path.exists(common_config), f"Config not found: {common_config}"
    if not os.path.exists(model_path):
        pytest.skip(f"Model not available for {precision}: {model_path}")

The repository uses this model-availability skip pattern, and both [nvfp4] and [bf16] cases are listed in tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_spark_func.yml. Coverage is sufficient.

tests/integration/defs/examples/serve/test_serve.py:187-190
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Synchronize all request threads before checking mixed batching.

check_mixed_prompt_batch starts long_0 before the other workers, and each worker then calls client.chat.completions.create. The long request can finish before the short requests are submitted. The current assertions only verify four successful responses. They do not prove mixed batching or the intended chunked-prefill/MTP scheduler overlap. Add a barrier that all workers reach immediately before the API call, or assert an observable scheduler signal.

Coverage summary: test_nemotron3_super_120b_nvfp4 and test_nemotron35_lightning_30b[nvfp4/bf16] cover response completion and are listed in tests/integration/test_lists/qa/llm_spark_func.yml; scheduler-overlap coverage is insufficient.

GitHub Bot Help

/bot [-h] ['run', 'kill', 'skip', 'reuse-pipeline'] ...

Provide a user friendly way for developers to interact with a Jenkins server.

Run /bot [-h|--help] to print this help message.

See details below for each supported subcommand.

Details

run [--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id --disable-fail-fast --skip-test --stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" --gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" --test-backend "pytorch, cpp" --add-multi-gpu-test --only-multi-gpu-test --disable-multi-gpu-test --post-merge --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" --detailed-log --debug(experimental) --high-priority]

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Supports wildcard * for pattern matching (e.g., "*PerfSanity*" matches all stages containing PerfSanity). Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx", "PerfSanity". The patterns "*", "*Post-Merge*", and "*PerfSanity*", including equivalent escaped or repeated-star forms and their use in comma-separated lists, require the ci: post-merge approved PR label. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Requires the ci: full pre-merge approved label on the PR (ask a member of NVIDIA/trt-llm-ci-approvers). Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline. Requires the ci: full pre-merge approved label on the PR (ask a member of NVIDIA/trt-llm-ci-approvers).

--post-merge (OPTIONAL) : Run the L0 post-merge pipeline instead of the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline. Requires the ci: post-merge approved PR label applied by an active member of NVIDIA/trt-llm-ci-approvers. The approval label remains in place when new commits are pushed.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Supports wildcard * for pattern matching. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx", --extra-stage "Post-Merge". The patterns "*", "*Post-Merge*", and "*PerfSanity*", including equivalent escaped or repeated-star forms and their use in comma-separated lists, require the ci: post-merge approved PR label.

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--high-priority (OPTIONAL) : Run the pipeline with high priority. This option is restricted to authorized users only and will route the job to a high-priority queue.

kill

kill

Kill all running builds associated with pull request.

skip

skip --comment COMMENT

Skip testing for latest commit on pull request. --comment "Reason for skipping build/test" is required. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.

reuse-pipeline

reuse-pipeline

Reuse a previous pipeline to validate current commit. This action will also kill all currently running builds associated with the pull request. IMPORTANT NOTE: This is dangerous since lack of user care and validation can cause top of tree to break.
