Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Fixed vision encoder weight loading for Qwen2VL on older GPUs (SM < 100) in tensor-parallel setups by sharding attention projections per rank, improving compatibility and preventing initialization failures.
    • Reduced memory spikes during model initialization for Qwen2VL with tensor parallelism, leading to more reliable and efficient startup.

Description

This PR fixes an issue where, during tensor parallel deployment of Qwen2.5-VL(sm < 100), each rank incorrectly received the full, un-split visual encoder attention weights instead of their respective shards.

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.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds tensor-parallel sharding for Qwen2VL vision encoder QKV and output projection weights when running on SM < 100. Computes TP rank/size, head counts, shards qkv weights/biases and o_proj weights per rank, then loads the sharded state dict. Default loading remains unchanged otherwise.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Qwen2VL vision encoder TP sharding
tensorrt_llm/_torch/models/modeling_qwen2vl.py
Introduces conditional TP-aware loading for SM < 100: computes tp_rank/tp_size/num_vision_heads; adds helper to shard attn.qkv_proj weights/biases across TP ranks; shards attn.o_proj.weight by output chunks; loads per-TP shards into state dict; preserves existing load_state_dict and subsequent LLM loading flow.

**/*.py: Python code must target Python 3.8+.
Indent Python code with 4 spaces; do not use tabs.
Maintain module namespace when importing; prefer 'from package.subpackage import foo' then 'foo.SomeClass()' instead of importing the class directly.
Python filenames should be snake_case (e.g., some_file.py).
Python classes use PascalCase names.
Functions and methods use snake_case names.
Local variables use snake_case; prefix 'k' for variables that start with a number (e.g., k_99th_percentile).
Global variables use upper SNAKE_CASE prefixed with 'G' (e.g., G_MY_GLOBAL).
Constants use upper SNAKE_CASE (e.g., MY_CONSTANT).
Avoid shadowing variables from an outer scope.
Initialize all externally visible members of a class in the constructor.
Prefer docstrings for interfaces that may be used outside a file; comments for in-function or file-local interfaces.
Use Google-style docstrings for classes and functions (Sphinx-parsable).
Document attributes and variables inline so they render under the class/function docstring.
Avoid reflection when a simpler, explicit approach suffices (e.g., avoid dict(**locals()) patterns).
In try/except, catch the most specific exceptions possible.
For duck-typing try/except, keep the try body minimal and use else for the main logic.

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/lora_manager.py, when calculating part_sizes for attn_qkv fused LoRA modules, the sizes are correctly multiplied by tp_size because model_config.num_heads and model_config.num_kv_heads are already divided by tp_size (per-TP-rank values), so multiplication is needed to get the original full concatenated dimension size. The interleave_fused_lora_weights_for_tp function provides proper validation.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Add explicit head-count divisibility checks

heads_per_tp = num_vision_heads // tp_size silently floors. If someone configures TP with a head-count that isn’t cleanly divisible, we’ll reshape/slice to the wrong size and load_state_dict will fail (or worse, we’d drop heads). Please reject misconfigured checkpoints up front and validate that each per-projection slice splits cleanly across heads before reshaping.

@Nekofish-L I see. Then, I will not merge this PR but rather trying to come-up with the proper fix. In the meantime, I will leave this PR as a reference for others who is facing weight-loading issue for Qwen2.5-VL weight loading when TP > 1.
