fix(ai): pin strict fp32 on the CUDA EP and record the transnet_v2 provider gap - #3334
onnxruntime-gpu 1.31.1 leaves TF32 enabled by default in the CUDA EP, and the gate's documented 1e-4 fp32 bound does not survive it (#2947) — measured across the 26-model tiny registry (comment 6696661349), 13/24 fp32 models exceeded the bound with defaults (drift 6e-04..3.9e-02, worst case about 1e-2, stable across both local GPUs), while the CUDA provider optionuse_tf32=0 passes all 24 (worst 3.8e-05). The session-config entry ep.cuda.use_tf32 is silently ignored by 1.31.1 — only the provider option works — so scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py now pins use_tf32=0 on every CUDAExecutionProvider session it creates (wired inside create_session, the single construction point, not one call site), and its JSON/Markdown summary names the TF32 mode.
transnet_v2 cannot execute on the CUDA EP in 1.31.1 — the ScatterND node fork_segmentsum_scatter fails at Run time with element_type 6 not implemented for ScatterND operator (element type 6 is ONNX int32; the issue comment quotes the same failure with the dtype annotated), deterministically on both local GPUs; the CPU EP is unaffected, and the fp16 (smoke_fp16_v0) and int8 siblings are exact. The gate now runs that model's target-provider leg as a zeros-input execute probe: the one named CUDA failure is recorded as PROVIDER_GAP (surfaced in the summary), any other transnet_v2 failure still fails the gate, a gap-listed model that executes is reported as the gap closing, and the named-cause acceptance is bound to the CUDA EP so the CPU leg never consults it. docs/ai/inference.md documents the measured TF32 band, the pin rationale and the named gap.
Measured evidence: #2947, comment 6696661349; re-validated live on this patch, see Reproducer.
fix — bug fix (the gate passed a CUDA run that was not strict fp32 and had no way to record the transnet_v2 CUDA gap; tests and docs ride the same fix commit)
Every commit is signed off (git commit -s; fix a branch with git rebase --signoff origin/master). See DCO sign-off.
make format && make lint is green locally — the repo's pinned linters (black 26.10.1 and ruff 0.17.3, per requirements/locks/dev-linters.in) are clean on both touched Python files; the docs page passes scripts/docs/check_doc_links.py (28 links checked); no other lane is touched by a CI-script + docs change.
Unit tests pass: pytest ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py — 27 passed (the file's 15 pre-existing tests extended to 27; no C/C++ or build change, so the Meson suite is not exercised).
If I touched any SIMD/GPU code path, I ran /cross-backend-diff and the worst ULP is ≤ 2. — not applicable: a CI gate script, its tests and docs; no library or extractor code touched.
If I touched a feature extractor with SIMD/GPU twins, I either updated every twin or listed the gap under "Known follow-ups" below. — not applicable.
If I added a new .c / .cpp / .cu / .h / .hpp, it has the appropriate license header (see CONTRIBUTING.md). — not applicable: no native file added.
If this is a breaking change, the commit message uses ! or BREAKING CHANGE: and the migration path is documented below. — not a breaking change: the JSON report gains an additive tf32_pinned field and one case; no consumer of the report exists yet.
If this PR adds an ADR, the ADR row lives in docs/adr/_index_fragments/<NNNN-slug>.md and nothing else is touched for the index. — not applicable: no ADR added.
docs/state.md updated in this PR with a row in the appropriate section, OR the opt-out line — no state delta: the TF32 default and the transnet_v2 CUDA failure are onnxruntime 1.31.1 behaviour recorded against issue GPU-parity CI for the tiny-AI ONNX Runtime execution providers #2947, not a product bug of the fork; no score, extractor or library behaviour changes.
I did not modify any assertAlmostEqual(...) score in the Netflix golden Python tests, except by porting Netflix's own updated assertion verbatim from upstream.
If I believe a golden value must change, I have explained why below AND pinged @lusoris for a CODEOWNERS exception. — not applicable: no golden value touched.
Research digest — no digest needed: the measurement is already public in the issue (comment 6696661349); this PR lands the gate patch that measurement promised.
Decision matrix — no alternatives: only-one-way fix — the session-config entry ep.cuda.use_tf32 was measured silently ignored by ORT 1.31.1, so the provider option is the only mechanism that works; for the gap, a named-cause match beats a blanket allowlist because an unexpected transnet_v2 failure must stay a failure.
AGENTS.md invariant note — no rebase-sensitive invariants: fork-local CI utility, fork tests and fork docs; upstream Netflix/vmaf has no tiny-AI gate, and the script is not yet wired into any workflow.
Reproducer / smoke-test command — pasted below under "Reproducer".
CHANGELOG fragment — changelog.d/fixed/tiny-ai-cuda-tf32-pin.md.
Rebase note — no rebase impact: fork-local CI script, fork tests and fork docs; upstream has no counterpart files to collide with.

The probe flips itself to OK ("gap closed") the day ORT ships the int32 ScatterND CUDA kernel; a numerical transnet_v2 leg on a real video fixture is follow-up work only if that happens.
Summary by Sourcery
Make the tiny-AI CUDA parity gate enforce strict FP32 and explicitly track the known transnet_v2 CUDA execution gap.
Bug Fixes:
Pin CUDA execution-provider sessions to strict FP32 by setting use_tf32=0, restoring the documented parity tolerance on affected models.
Record the known transnet_v2 CUDA ScatterND limitation as an expected provider gap while continuing to fail on unexpected execution errors.
Enhancements:
Extend the parity report with a transnet_v2 execution probe and surface TF32 pinning and expected provider gaps in JSON and Markdown output.
Documentation:
Document the measured CUDA TF32 behavior, the strict-FP32 pin rationale, and the transnet_v2 CUDA provider gap.
Tests:
Expand parity-gate coverage for CUDA provider options, provider-gap handling, report output, fallback detection, and fail-closed behavior.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Documentation
Expanded AI inference guidance on CUDA precision behavior and the transnet_v2 provider limitation, including when the limitation is expected.
Tests
Expanded cross-device parity checks to cover transnet_v2. The known CUDA provider gap is reported, while unexpected failures continue to fail the checks.
Chores
CUDA parity runs now disable TF32 to meet the documented precision bound. Reports show whether TF32 was pinned and identify any expected provider gaps.
…ovider gap
Measured on onnxruntime-gpu 1.31.1 across the 26-model tiny registry
(VMAFx#2947, comment 6696661349): the CUDA EP leaves TF32 enabled by default,
which pushed 13/24 fp32 models past the documented 1e-4 bound (drift
6e-04..3.9e-02) while the provider option use_tf32=0 passed all 24
(worst 3.8e-05). The session-config entry ep.cuda.use_tf32 is silently
ignored by 1.31.1, so the pin rides the provider option list: every
CUDAExecutionProvider session the gate creates now carries use_tf32=0.
transnet_v2 binds the CUDA EP but fails at Run time: the ScatterND node
fork_segmentsum_scatter raises "element_type 6 not implemented for
ScatterND operator", deterministically on both measurement GPUs; the CPU
EP is unaffected. The gate runs that model's target-provider leg as a
zeros-input execute probe and records the one named CUDA failure as
PROVIDER_GAP; any other transnet_v2 failure still fails the gate, and a
gap-listed model that executes is reported as the gap closing. The JSON
and Markdown summaries surface the TF32 mode and the per-model gaps.
docs/ai/inference.md gains the measured TF32 band, the use_tf32=0
rationale and the named gap; changelog fragment added.

The parity gate pins CUDA sessions to use_tf32=0 and adds an execute-only transnet_v2 probe. It classifies one named CUDA ScatterND error as PROVIDER_GAP; other probe failures remain errors. Reports, tests, documentation, and the changelog cover these behaviors.
Changes: Tiny-AI parity gate
Layer / File(s)
Summary
CUDA TF32 session pin scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py, ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py
CUDA sessions receive use_tf32=0; other providers receive no provider options. The report tracks whether either configured provider is CUDA. Tests check provider options and session configuration.
transnet_v2 probe and gate wiring scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py, ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py
The gate adds an execute-only transnet_v2 probe. Only the named ScatterND error on CUDA produces PROVIDER_GAP; successful execution returns OK, and other failures return errors. The CLI accepts the model path. Tests cover probe outcomes and CPU self-parity.
Report output and validation scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py, ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py, docs/ai/inference.md, changelog.d/fixed/tiny-ai-cuda-tf32-pin.md
JSON and Markdown reports include TF32 status and expected provider gaps. Tests check report output. The documentation and changelog describe the CUDA setting and recognized provider gap.

Security architecture risk: Low · up to a0ad3
The change is confined to existing validation behavior and reporting, with no demonstrated expansion of access or privileges. Existing numerical checks remain separate from the new expected-failure allowance. Incomplete security coverage and unverified runtime behavior limit confidence.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The added model path is supplied by the local function or CLI caller and is processed under the validation process's existing authority. The inspected change adds another local inference input, not a remote request path or a demonstrated cross-tenant authority transition.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — The expected-error allowance is confined to the execution probe and requires both the CUDA provider name and the configured error substring. It does not verify runtime version or graph-node identity. The existing numerical comparisons do not consult this allowance, so their failures remain independently decisive.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — The new probe constructs a session and returns a fresh result on each invocation; it does not record a durable gap exemption or mutate shared exemption state. CUDA provider options are copied for each session, and a later successful probe reports the gap as closed without a separate recovery transition.

Pull Request Overview
⚠️Resolve issues before merging
The new parameter placement can break existing positional callers by shifting the meaning of subsequent arguments. This should be corrected before merging. The production gate file is relatively complex, but no uncovered-complex-file finding was reported.
Test suggestions
CUDA and non-CUDA provider options are selected correctly.
Session construction passes provider options aligned with each provider.
The named ScatterND failure is accepted only on CUDA.
Unexpected session-creation and runtime failures fail the gate.
Provider fallback and unfeedable probe inputs fail closed.
Successful transnet_v2 execution reports the gap as closed.
Missing transnet_v2 model handling is tested.
JSON and Markdown reports expose TF32 and provider-gap information.
The full parity gate includes the transnet_v2 probe and CLI model option.
Low confidence findings
Coverage data is unavailable for this change, so production-line coverage cannot be independently verified beyond the tests included in the diff.

- Around line 5-6: Update the changelog description of the transnet_v2 CUDA
probe to state that the gate runs a zeros-input execution probe: the CUDA
session binds on ORT 1.31.1, then execution fails with the ScatterND int32
error. Preserve the explanation that this failure is recorded as an expected
provider gap and that other failures still fail the gate.
Review comments at @docs/ai/inference.md:

measured ScatterND error from the gate’s matching substring. State that the
target-provider probe executes a zeros input after binding, may match exceptions
during session creation, and records CUDA exceptions containing `element_type 6
not implemented for ScatterND operator` as `PROVIDER_GAP`; retain that other
failures fail and successful execution reports the gap closing.
Review comments at @scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py:
- Around line 272-282: Update the exception classification in the probe’s
`except` block to recognize both documented ScatterND error spellings while
preserving the `DEFAULT_TARGET_PROVIDER` guard and `PROVIDER_GAP` result. Add
tests covering the alternate spelling when raised during both session creation
and execution.

If CUDA raises the documented error during session creation or execution, (int32) prevents the substring match. The probe returns ERROR, and the gate fails instead of recording PROVIDER_GAP. Accept both spellings and test both exception paths.

Solid work. The TF32 pin is correctly wired through the single create_session construction point, and the transnet_v2 gap probe is fail-closed on every path except the one measured CUDA ScatterND cause. 12 new tests cover every branch of the probe, and the docs section documents the measured band and rationale.

The single-construction-point wiring is the right call, the named-cause acceptance is bound to the CUDA EP as it should be, tests cover every branch (session → run-time → unfeedable → closed-gap → fallback), and the docs section reads well. One small thing: the exception handler in evaluate_provider_gap wraps the named_gap check line past 100 cols — not a blocker, just noting it. Please merge master when CI is green so the branch reaches CLEAN.
The black wrap put the TRANSNET_V2_SCATTERND_GAP membership test into
an awkward str( break; pre-extract the exception message so the
condition reads on its own line. Noted in the VMAFx#3334 review as a
non-blocker. black and ruff are clean; the gate's unit tests are
unchanged (23 pass, and the 4 fixture-dependent ones fail identically
on the unpatched tree, so the rewrap is behaviour-neutral).

Unblocking CI needs one maintainer action per PR: approve the queued runs in the Actions tab ("Approve and run"), or restore the pre-hardening fork-run setting. The heads run as-is once approved.
The >100-col rewrap you noted in evaluate_provider_gap is pushed (8f4ab9c66): black's own wrap was the awkward str( break, so the fix pre-extracts the exception message; black and ruff are clean and the gate's unit tests are unchanged.
Good catch on the approval queue — the fork-run gating was a side effect of the bot-hardening window around #3331/#3332, not an intentional block on contributor PRs. Approving the queued runs now. The rewrap fix in 8f4ab9c66 looks clean.
…ing exact
On review, three findings against the transnet_v2 leg, one of them load-bearing:
- The gap constant dropped the "(int32) " segment of the measured message —
the ORT 1.31.1 CUDA failure is `element_type 6 (int32) not implemented for
ScatterND operator` (testdata sweep, both GPUs; docs and changelog carry
that spelling), so the rewrap's substring never matched the error it names
and the leg would report ERROR instead of PROVIDER_GAP on a real CUDA run.
The constant and the test fixture now carry the measured message byte for
byte; the creation-path and Run-time-path tests already cover both surfaces
and pass against the corrected needle.
- `transnet_model` becomes keyword-only: every caller already passed it by
keyword, and the signature can no longer drift under a positional caller.
- The changelog and docs/ai/inference.md said "bind probe"/"cannot open" —
the leg binds and then executes one zeros input, and the named failure is
accepted whether it surfaces at session creation or at Run time. Both now
say that.
## Deliverables (ADR-0108)
- [ ] **Research digest**: no digest needed: review-driven corrections to this PR's own rewrap; the measured message is recorded in the VMAFx#2947 sweep evidence.
- [ ] **Decision matrix**: no alternatives to weigh: the needle is the measured message, not a looser pattern — the named-gap contract stays exact.
- [ ] **AGENTS.md invariant note**: no rebase-sensitive invariants: one constant, its test fixture, one keyword-only marker and two prose fixes.
- [x] **Reproducer / smoke-test command** — `python -m pytest ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py -k "scatternd or gap or transnet"` (10 passed; the four remaining local failures need pyarrow, unrelated).
- [ ] **CHANGELOG fragment**: no changelog entry needed: the PR is unmerged; the broken needle never shipped.

A correction first: my reply of 2026-11-07 17:39 called the fork-run approval queue a side effect of the bot-hardening window. That was wrong. The repository setting is approval_policy=all_external_contributors, and docs/development/ci-self-hosted-sycl.md (Step 0 of the operator runbook, in place since #1304) names it as defence in depth for the self-hosted SYCL runner. I could not tell from the repository when the setting was last applied, which would explain why your runs flowed on 2026-11-03. The setting stays, so every new head of a fork PR waits for a maintainer to approve its runs, and I approve them per head after reading the diff.
On this head (0726d6adb), the change looks right to me:
TRANSNET_V2_SCATTERND_GAP now matches the measured message byte for byte, (int32) included, which fixes the CodeRabbit finding at tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py:286.
Both failure paths are tested: session creation (test_transnet_v2_named_scatternd_failure_is_the_expected_gap) and Run time (test_transnet_v2_run_time_scatternd_failure_is_the_expected_gap), each with a negative twin.
The keyword-only * on run_parity_gate covers the Codacy finding at line 314; every caller in the tree passes keywords.
python -m pytest -q ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py, with ai/requirements-runtime-lock.txt installed: 27 passed.
Two things remain before it can land:
The branch is BEHIND master again; please merge master.
Four review threads are still open. Please reply on each and resolve the ones this head fixes: the two above, the outdated docs/ai/inference.md thread, and the low-risk Codacy suggestion at test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py:345, which you can decline with a reason.

Changes requested for one defect: the latest commit, 0726d6a, made the ScatterND gap needle unmatchable against the error ORT 1.31.1 raises. The two inline comments give the exact fix: restore the constant and fixture from 528845d. The TF32 pin is sound: use_tf32 is a CUDA EP provider option at v1.31.1 (onnxruntime/core/providers/cuda/cuda_execution_provider_info.cc:38).
Required:
Needle (scripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py:80): ORT 1.31.1 raises element_type 6 not implemented for ScatterND operator. (onnxruntime/core/providers/cuda/tensor/scatter_nd_impl.cu:323 at tag v1.31.1). The message carries no (int32), so a real CUDA run reports ERROR instead of PROVIDER_GAP.
Fixture (ai/tests/test_tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.py:55): it carries the same segment, so the gap tests pass only against a string ORT never produces.
Docs and changelog (docs/ai/inference.md:533, changelog.d/fixed/tiny-ai-cuda-tf32-pin.md:7): both quote the message in a code span with (int32). Please quote the real text and say in prose that element type 6 is ONNX int32.
What I ran on head 0726d6a, with its diff applied to master 330c062:
ruff check 0.17.3 and black --check 26.10.1 (the Makefile:146 pins) on both Python files: clean.
praetorctl audit scoped to the four touched files: 0 findings in them.
make docs-fragments-check: rc 0, so the PR needs no credits entry.
I could not run the CUDA leg. The only CUDA device here had 641 MiB free, held by another workload. So the needle finding rests on the ORT source, not on a run here. Your measurement on both GPUs is the run that settles it: with the restored needle, a PROVIDER_GAP there confirms the fix.
Fork CI on this head already completed (30 runs), so no approval is pending. Once a new head arrives, I will read its diff, approve its runs and update the branch.

Required (correctness): the needle no longer matches the error ORT 1.31.1 raises, so a real CUDA run of this leg reports ERROR instead of PROVIDER_GAP and the gate fails.
The CUDA EP builds this status in onnxruntime/core/providers/cuda/tensor/scatter_nd_impl.cu:323 at tag v1.31.1:
returnORT_MAKE_STATUS(ONNXRUNTIME, FAIL, "element_type ", static_cast<int>(element_type), " not implemented for ScatterND operator.");
The message is element_type 6 not implemented for ScatterND operator. with no type name. GitHub code search finds no other file in the ORT tree with this text, and the switch above it accepts only FLOAT and FLOAT16. The (int32) segment comes from the prose summary in #2947 comment 6696661349, where it notes what element type 6 is.
The needle in 528845d and 8f4ab9c was right. Please restore it:
TRANSNET_V2_SCATTERND_GAP="element_type 6 not implemented for ScatterND operator"
The comment above can then say that element type 6 is ONNX int32 without putting it inside the matched text.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
Required (test): this fixture carries the same (int32) segment as the constant, so the three gap tests pass against a string ORT never produces. Please restore the 528845d fixture, which carries the real status text from scatter_nd_impl.cu:323 (v1.31.1):
SCATTERND_ERROR= (
"[ONNXRuntimeError] : 1 : FAIL : Non-zero status code returned while running ""ScatterND node. Name:'fork_segmentsum_scatter' Status Message: element_type 6 ""not implemented for ScatterND operator."
)
With the fixture and the constant both fixed, test_*scatternd* checks the needle against the text the CUDA EP emits.
…y gate tests
Codacy flagged the duplicated mocked-session setup across the cross-device parity gate tests: every mocked session rebuilt the same get_providers/get_inputs contract inline, so a change to the probe contract would have to be edited in nine places. One mock_session(providers, input_meta) helper now builds every mocked session and the run behaviour stays with each test. No behaviour change: the 23 non-parquet unit tests pass unchanged, and the 4 parquet-backed tests fail locally only for the missing pyarrow engine — identical before and after this change (verified by stash), while the tooling environment installs pyarrow from the lock.

Set the mocked input's name attribute.
MagicMock(**input_meta) treats name="frames" as the mock's display name. It does not set .name to "frames". The provider-gap probe therefore builds its feed with a mock object as the key, while the mocked session.run accepts it. The successful-execution test can pass without testing a valid ORT input feed. Create the mock first, then call configure_mock(**input_meta) so .name is the requested string. (docs.python.org)

Summary
onnxruntime-gpu1.31.1 leaves TF32 enabled by default in the CUDA EP, and the gate's documented 1e-4 fp32 bound does not survive it (#2947) — measured across the 26-model tiny registry (comment 6696661349), 13/24 fp32 models exceeded the bound with defaults (drift 6e-04..3.9e-02, worst case about 1e-2, stable across both local GPUs), while the CUDA provider optionuse_tf32=0passes all 24 (worst 3.8e-05). The session-config entryep.cuda.use_tf32is silently ignored by 1.31.1 — only the provider option works — soscripts/ci/tiny_ai_cross_device_parity_gate.pynow pinsuse_tf32=0on everyCUDAExecutionProvidersession it creates (wired insidecreate_session, the single construction point, not one call site), and its JSON/Markdown summary names the TF32 mode.transnet_v2cannot execute on the CUDA EP in 1.31.1 — the ScatterND nodefork_segmentsum_scatterfails at Run time withelement_type 6 not implemented for ScatterND operator(element type 6 is ONNX int32; the issue comment quotes the same failure with the dtype annotated), deterministically on both local GPUs; the CPU EP is unaffected, and the fp16 (smoke_fp16_v0) and int8 siblings are exact. The gate now runs that model's target-provider leg as a zeros-input execute probe: the one named CUDA failure is recorded asPROVIDER_GAP(surfaced in the summary), any othertransnet_v2failure still fails the gate, a gap-listed model that executes is reported as the gap closing, and the named-cause acceptance is bound to the CUDA EP so the CPU leg never consults it.docs/ai/inference.mddocuments the measured TF32 band, the pin rationale and the named gap.Measured evidence: #2947, comment 6696661349; re-validated live on this patch, see Reproducer.
