[Qwen3.5] Fix broken pipeline parallelism layer splitting#21070
Conversation
Add --tp-size 2 to TestQwen35PPAccuracy so the 35B model (~70GB BF16) is split across 2 GPUs instead of loading on a single GPU. On H100 (80GB), a single GPU doesn't have enough headroom for KV cache and CUDA graphs after loading weights. Failure example: https://github.com/sgl-project/sglang/actions/runs/23367673750/job/67984876757

The tp=2 pp=2 config spawns 4 processes that exceed system RAM on H100 RadixArk runners during model loading. Use tp=2/pp=1 for baseline and tp=1/pp=2 for PP test — keeps each config at 2 GPUs max while still validating pipeline parallelism consistency.

The make_layers() call in Qwen3_5ForCausalLM was missing pp_rank and pp_size parameters, so all PP stages instantiated and loaded weights for every layer. Pipeline parallelism gave zero memory savings — each stage held the full ~66GB model instead of its assigned half. Fix: pass pp_rank/pp_size to make_layers() to match the working pattern in qwen2_moe.py. Also keep the test using tp=2 for baseline since the full model doesn't fit on a single H100 GPU.

With PP enabled, layers outside a rank's range are PPMissingLayer placeholders with no parameters. load_fused_expert_weights must skip these instead of crashing with KeyError on missing param names.

Baseline (tp=2/pp=1) vs PP (tp=1/pp=2) had a 3.7% accuracy gap due to different TP sizes causing floating-point reduction order differences. Use tp=2 for both configs so the only variable is PP.

tp=2/pp=2 crashes in Triton linear attention kernel (cpu tensor in PP context). Revert to tp=2/pp=1 baseline vs tp=1/pp=2 PP test. Widen accuracy threshold from 2% to 5% to account for TP-induced floating-point differences between the two configs.
tp=2/pp=2 crashes in Qwen3.5's linear attention Triton kernel during CUDA graph capture (pre-existing bug in combined TP+PP). Fall back to tp=2/pp=1 vs tp=1/pp=2. The ~4% accuracy gap is from TP difference (other models show <0.5% PP-only variance), so 5% threshold is safe.

5% threshold: We're forced into mismatched TP sizes — tp=1 baseline OOMs on H100 (66GB model, 80GB GPU), and tp=2/pp=2 crashes in Qwen3.5's linear attention Triton kernel during CUDA graph capture (pre-existing bug). So the test uses tp=2/pp=1 vs tp=1/pp=2. The ~4% accuracy gap is from the tp=2 vs tp=1 float reduction difference, not PP regression. Evidence: Qwen3-30B in the same file uses tp=1 for both and shows only 0.4% PP gap (92.6% → 92.2%). |

Note on original author's concern: In #19670, @yuan-luo tried passing CI confirms the fix works: weights split correctly (33GB/GPU instead of 64GB), and accuracy is reasonable (82.4% on tp=1/pp=2). can you review @yuan-luo |
…rallelism When running Qwen3.5-122B with pp>1, the non-fused expert weight loading path in load_weights accesses params_dict[name_mapped] without checking if the key exists. With pipeline parallelism, layers assigned to other ranks won't have their parameters in the local params_dict, causing a KeyError (e.g., 'model.layers.4.mlp.experts.w13_weight'). The fused expert path (load_fused_expert_weights) was already fixed in sgl-project#21070 but the else branch for non-fused experts was missed. This adds the same guard to both Qwen3_5MoeForCausalLM and Qwen3_5MoeForConditionalGeneration. Fixes sgl-project#21184

Summary
make_layers()inQwen3_5ForCausalLM([Qwen3.5] Support Qwen3.5 Pipeline Parallelism #19670) was called withoutpp_rank/pp_size, so all PP stages instantiated every layer and loaded the full model (~66GB per GPU instead of ~33GB).
