Summary

  • Reduce MiniMax-H3 attention peak memory by processing heads in groups while preserving full-sequence attention.
  • Add minimax_h3_attn_chunk_budget through --model-args, defaulting to 2 GiB; 0 disables grouping.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • MiniMax H3 attention can process heads in groups to reduce peak activation memory. The default budget is 2 GiB; setting it to 0 disables grouping. Each head still attends to the full sequence.
    • Added documentation on configuring the attention budget, its memory trade-offs, and how it differs from total VRAM usage and weight residency.

Walkthrough

MiniMax H3 attention now supports configurable head grouping based on an activation-memory budget. The runner accepts the setting through model arguments, and the runtime documentation describes its behavior. Several CUDA files also contain alignment-only formatting changes.

Changes: MiniMax H3 attention budget

Layer / File(s) Summary
Attention head grouping
src/model/diffusion/minimax_h3.hpp, docs/minimax_h3.md
Attention groups heads according to the configured budget, processes each group, and concatenates the outputs. The documentation describes the 2 GiB default, grouping behavior, and budget limits.
Budget configuration and graph setup
src/model/diffusion/minimax_h3.hpp, src/model/integrations/minimax_h3.cpp
The runner parses and logs the optional model argument, assigns the selected budget to attention blocks, and creates the custom graph before obtaining the runner context.

CUDA declaration alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
CUDA formatting alignment
src/core/cuda/i8_gated_residual.cu, src/core/cuda/i8_gemm.cu, src/core/cuda/int8.cu, src/core/cuda/rope.cu
Whitespace alignment changed in declarations and assignments. The described behavior remains unchanged.

Explanation

The title "feat: add configurable attention chunk budget for MiniMax-H3" names the main change: a new configurable attention chunk budget for MiniMax-H3. The changeset adds the minimax_h3_attn_chunk_budget model argument, the head-grouping logic in Attention::attend, and the 2 GiB default. The title is specific and follows a conventional commit style. It is 60 characters and 8 words, which is concise.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the repository template. It has the Summary section, which describes the memory reduction through head grouping and the new minimax_h3_attn_chunk_budget option with its 2 GiB default and the value 0 that disables grouping. It has the Related Issue / Discussion section, filled with N/A. It has the Additional Information section, filled with N/A, and the Checklist section, which is checked. The Additional Information section gives no verification notes, such as test results or memory measurements, but the template marks that section as applicable only when relevant, so this gap is not critical.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 7 functions across 6 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.
