From b06fa03ac23a4b586ea597433492649bb3ba3437 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: anupsv <6407789+anupsv@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 20 May 2026 22:21:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Add LlamaModelTP: tensor-parallel variant of LlamaModel MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit LlamaModelTP mirrors LlamaModel but uses sharded linear layers from mlx-swift's AllToShardedLinear / ShardedToAllLinear so two (or more) ranks can split each layer's compute and weight memory: - Q/K/V projections + gate/up are AllToShardedLinear (column-parallel): each rank holds outDim/world_size rows; output is sharded across heads. No collective op in forward. - O projection + down are ShardedToAllLinear (row-parallel): each rank holds inDim/world_size cols; allSum in forward to combine partial contributions across ranks. - Embedding, layernorms, and the (optional, non-tied) LM head stay replicated — LM head sharding is a future optimization. Per-rank: attentionHeads/world_size local Q heads and kvHeads/world_size local KV heads. The KV cache is sized to the local KV head count so each rank only stores its shard. Weight loading: LlamaModelTP.sanitize(weights:) slices column-parallel weights along axis 0 (output dim) and row-parallel weights along axis 1 (input dim) into each rank's shard before module assignment. Singleton group (world=1) is a pass-through. Quantized weights (.scales/.biases) are passed through unmodified — quantized TP support is a follow-up that needs packed-uint32-aware slicing. The exposed shardWeightIfNeeded static helper centralizes the key-pattern → axis decision so tests can validate the sharding logic without spinning up a real distributed group. Tests/MLXLMTests/LlamaTPTests.swift covers: - Parameter shape parity between LlamaModel and LlamaModelTP(world=1) - Forward-pass output shape with singleton group - Numerical equivalence: with identical weights, LlamaModelTP(world=1) matches LlamaModel logits to within 1e-3 (float-accumulation noise) - Static shardWeightIfNeeded behavior for column-parallel, row-parallel, embedding, and layernorm key patterns Stacked on feat/llama-pipeline-parallel (PR #24) for callPartial; that remains the fallback path for non-Llama models. Requires Cmlx + the sharded linear primitives from Layr-Labs/mlx-swift#3. --- Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift | 340 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Tests/MLXLMTests/LlamaTPTests.swift | 175 +++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 515 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift create mode 100644 Tests/MLXLMTests/LlamaTPTests.swift diff --git a/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift new file mode 100644 index 000000000..3b4e06456 --- /dev/null +++ b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift @@ -0,0 +1,340 @@ +// Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.

This commit adds a parallel quantized class hierarchy: - LlamaAttentionTPQ, LlamaMLPTPQ, LlamaTransformerBlockTPQ, LlamaModelInnerTPQ, LlamaModelTPQ - Uses QuantizedAllToShardedLinear / QuantizedShardedToAllLinear for the Q/K/V/gate/up and O/down projections respectively - LM head stays replicated + quantized (QuantizedLinear) — same memory trade-off as the fp16 path, just with quantized weights - sanitize() / shardQuantizedWeightIfNeeded handle .weight (uint32 packed shape [outDim, inDim/8]) plus .scales / .biases (fp16 shape [outDim, inDim/groupSize]) along the right axes. Row-parallel biases pass through unsliced (added once after the allSum). - A `makeLlamaTP(args:quantization:group:)` factory picks the right variant from a BaseConfiguration.Quantization value. Also tightens shardWeightIfNeeded on the fp16 LlamaModelTP: - "norm" substring check replaced with explicit isLayerNormKey() that matches input_layernorm / post_attention_layernorm / model.norm only — future TP variants with q_norm / k_norm per-head norms (Qwen3, Gemma) won't accidentally skip sharding for those. - Projection name matches use path-segment boundaries via isProjectionKey (e.g. ".q_proj.weight" not "q_proj.weight") so a "q_proj_extra" never matches. - Loading a quantized blob into LlamaModelTP now precondition-fails with a clear message pointing at LlamaModelTPQ — silent corruption replaced with a loud routing error. - Row-parallel biases are now also passed through unsliced in the fp16 path (was an open TODO comment before). High: the previous numerical-equivalence test on a singleton group (world=1) didn't exercise any actual sharding — sharded layers degenerate to regular Linear. To actually validate the sharding math without needing a multi-process distributed backend, this commit adds three matrix-level tests that: - Slice weights with the SAME shardWeightIfNeeded function the production sanitize path uses - Manually run the per-rank matmuls and (for row-parallel) simulate the allSum by summing partial outputs - Compare against the unsharded reference to within 1e-4 Covered patterns: column-parallel (concat), row-parallel (allSum), column-then-row pipeline (the typical attention / MLP shape). Real multi-rank DistributedGroup tests still need spawned subprocesses (jaccl or ring backend) — the 2-Mac Thunderbolt 5 smoke test in d-inference remains the final validation. But the in-process math checks catch axis confusion and slicing bugs that would have shipped silently before. Plus 5 unit tests for the quantized weight slicing helper and a small test that q_norm / k_norm aren't tripped by the layernorm gate. Net: 18 tests pass, up from 8. No regression to existing LlamaModel / LlamaModelInner consumers; LlamaModelTP behavior unchanged for fp16 checkpoints (only the diagnostic precondition is new). LlamaModelTPQ is additive. --- Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift | 432 +++++++++++++++++++++++++- Package.swift | 1 + Tests/MLXLMTests/LlamaTPTests.swift | 233 ++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 652 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) diff --git a/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift index 3b4e06456..d264c16c5 100644 --- a/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift +++ b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift @@ -272,27 +272,36 @@ public class LlamaModelTP: Module, LLMModel, KVCacheDimensionProvider { public static func shardWeightIfNeeded( key: String, value: MLXArray, rank: Int, world: Int ) -> MLXArray { - // Embedding and layernorms stay full on every rank. - if key.contains("embed_tokens") || key.contains("norm") || key.contains("lm_head") { + // Embedding, layernorms, and the replicated LM head stay full on + // every rank.

MLXLLM's LoRA training code walks loraLayers looking for Linear sub-modules to wrap with adapters; our sharded variants (AllToShardedLinear, QuantizedAllToShardedLinear, etc.) are NOT Linear subclasses so adapter insertion either no-ops silently or hits surprising shape errors at train time. Both LlamaModelTP and LlamaModelTPQ now return `[]` from loraLayers with a docstring pointing at LlamaModel (single-rank) for LoRA workflows. Sharded LoRA is its own research problem. Test: testLlamaTPRejectsNonDivisibleHeads was misleading — it actually asserted XCTAssertNoThrow because 7 % 1 == 0 on a singleton group. Renamed to testLlamaTPAcceptsAnyHeadCountOnSingletonGroup so the name matches what's tested. Real world>=2 rejection paths are exercised end-to-end by the 2-Mac smoke test in d-inference, not here. --- Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift | 19 +++++++++++++++---- Tests/MLXLMTests/LlamaTPTests.swift | 20 ++++++++------------ 2 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 16 deletions(-) diff --git a/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift index d264c16c5..ee797a0bc 100644 --- a/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift +++ b/Libraries/MLXLLM/Models/LlamaTP.swift @@ -347,10 +347,19 @@ public class LlamaModelTP: Module, LLMModel, KVCacheDimensionProvider { // MARK: - LoRA +// LoRAModel conformance is required by LLMModel but TP+LoRA isn't actually +// supported.
