From 72c2ead37faed98b7193da6be6fb7b616527fe63 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luca Barbato Date: Sat, 10 Oct 2026 14:05:41 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/5] kolibri1 TT B2b-ii: add the teacher-forced near-tie instrument to the device token gate MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The B2b-ii device token gate compared the TT free-running greedy chain against the committed golden chain per step index and BROKE at the first divergence. Once the free-running chain splits from the golden, every later same-index comparison measures different histories — the exact flaw the decode-bench near-tie instrument (test_kolibri1_decode_bench.cpp, RunTeacherForced) already fixed. This mirrors that methodology in the B2b-ii gate: PASS 1 keeps the byte-comparison gate unchanged. PASS 2 runs the TT engine TEACHER-FORCED on the golden chain's tokens (decode inputs are generated_ids[d-1], never the engine's own argmax), so the engine's per-step logits share the golden prefix, and adjudicates every divergence under that common prefix: gap = row-top1 - row[golden], top-5 membership, 2.5-nat band. The committed goldens carry per-step TOKENS only (final_logits is one prefill-position top-5), so the distribution is the engine's own teacher-forced row — the documented fallback. A new CHECK (instr_hard_flips == 0) is the adjudicated verdict; it is RED today by design — the red quantifies the real defect. Walks that hit the streaming pool's no-slot refusal (kolibri1_tt_forward.cpp:424 — itself a finding: the pool cannot sustain a full 32-step decode on the golden prefix under VT_TT_HOST_FREE_DECODE=0) are recorded as aborted and the instrument keeps every prompt adjudicated so far. Measured on the P150 (2026-10-10, docs to follow in the row evidence): host-free ON — 182 free divergences, 182 teacher-forced flips, 0 near-ties, 182 HARD, worst gap 17.80 nats; host-free OFF — 33 free divergences, 49 teacher-forced flips, 2 near-ties, 47 HARD, worst gap 5.17 nats, 5 of 8 golden-prefix walks aborted in the pool refusal. Diagnosis only: no op is fixed and the existing gate behavior is kept.

This change localizes the FIRST diverging op and records why it is not yet fixed. Localization (VT_KOLIBRI1_TT_STAGE_DUMP emb/gam dumps added to both arms, env-gated): the embedding gather and the input_layernorm gamma stage BIT-EXACT on device (CPU 9.846392 vs TT 9.846392 at L0 dhn in the eager arm; identical sums and first values). The divergence enters the device rms_norm: in the host-free ON arm L0 dhn measures 9.510736 against the CPU 9.846392, a systematic ~3.4% scale-down with bit-identical inputs and gamma. The micro-test (test_kolibri1_tt_b2ii "SCRATCH dbg rmsnorm micro", RED, kept) pins it: vt::RmsNorm TT vs CPU on random bf16 [1,2560] gives sum ratio 0.9899 and max_abs 0.0625 (4 bf16 ULP) — the pinned ttnn::rms_norm deviates ~1% SYSTEMATICALLY even on f32 tiles. Normed 3-4x per layer over 50 layers, that bias compounds into the multi-nat logit shifts and the prompt-dependent hard flips (argmax survives only where the golden distribution is peaked/repetitive). Two repairs were tried and REFUSED by the substrate; both are recorded in RmsNormKernel and reverted, because each regressed the gate: 1. Composed f32 chain (x^2 -> mean -> +eps -> rsqrt -> scale), exact in the micro (ratio 0.9998, 1 bf16 ULP). Its [rows,1] row scale cannot reach the model: plain multiply broadcasts padded-tile garbage (gate collapsed, sporadic 1e37 logits), BcastOpDim::W is numerically wrong (ratio 1.019), BcastOpDim::H is refused, and repeat + same-shape multiply is refused by binary_ng ("Invalid subtile broadcast type") in the model context. 2. Serving the eager arm's residual-free short-row norms from the host f32 loop: the extra host round-trips of the attention/MoE intermediates desync the device shadow — the gate collapsed from 26/33 to 0/8 with 1e37 garbage logits, under both the all-norms and hidden-width-only narrowings. The landed tree keeps baseline routing: the device token gate is verified back at 26/33 with 47 HARD (post-revert device run), the TT unit suite is 16/16, and the b2ii host cases are 13/13. The composed arm stays behind VT_TT_RMSNORM_COMPOSED=1 for A/B. Also recorded: the slot-pool no-slot refusal STILL fires on the fixed base (4 of 8 teacher-forced walks abort, e.what()=="1") but the diverging prompts never abort — the divergence and the pool refusal are two defect classes; and a teacher-forced CPU-vs-TT walk scratch ("SCRATCH dbg TF prompt", VT_TF_DBG_PROMPT/VT_TF_DBG_STEPS) joins the dump helpers for the next bisect. The row issue Resolution carries the full dated evidence. The fix owes either an upstream rms_norm whose f32 statistics match the oracle, a broadcast primitive that survives the model geometry, or the host-free shadow reconciliation this row already owes.

The trial tt-metal tree /tmp/tt-metal-umdtrial now carries a reduction-precision patch (fp32_acc=true, approx_mode=false in rmsnorm_default_compute_config; the reduce scaler CB is Float32 under an f32 reduction) and /tmp/umdtrial-install was rebuilt from it; the record in the issue Resolution and docs/bench-evidence/kolibri1-tt-b2ii-20261009.md section 7 so every future gate on this stack uses the patched install. Evidence (same clean reset/cache recipe per leg): micro ratio 0.98992 -> 0.99972 vs the CPU row, max_abs 4 ULP -> 1 ULP; against the host-double sum rounded to bf16 the TT arm (0.99915) sits where the CPU oracle row does (0.99942) — bf16 output-store floor, no kernel bias left. B2b-ii gate: ON 26/33 with 7 hard (instrument 35 HARD, worst 3.19 nats), OFF 26/33 with 6 hard (instrument 105 HARD, worst 7.59 nats, deterministic across a clean reset). The argmax chain did not move materially: the remaining flips belong to the two open op-level drifts (kGdnDecode, kMatmulBTQuantGrouped), both re-confirmed failing in isolation; test_tenstorrent_backend shows no new isolated failures. The >=141 target stays open; this row's device work continues on those drifts. The micro now also prints the host-double-bf16 denominator and the per-element disagreement counts, which is what separated the quantization floor from the kernel bias.

Gate read at offset 0 correctly; up dequanted down's slot region; down dequanted past the slot end. The NaN/Inf weights fed the routed ExpertMlp, whose outputs dominated every downstream stage: first-token logits were corrupted at layer 0, which is where the P150 gate's hard flips actually came from. Red-first via the teacher-forced instrument on the fixed rmsnorm substrate: downdequant ref-vs-memo mismatched 1,177,065 of 1,310,720 elements with NaN memo sums; the one-hot down_w probe returned inf/NaN from k=256 against a clean scale grid; slotcmp proved the staged slot bytes byte-exact (the readback pivot could not catch this — it verifies the slot against its own write image). After the fix the dequant mismatches 0/1,310,720 and the L0 moe stage matches the CPU arm exactly; the first diverging stage moves to L1 moe at ~3% relative (near-tie). The earlier attribution of the residue to kGdnDecode and kMatmulBTQuantGrouped is falsified at census level: the kolibri forward has no GDN op and its experts are fp8-block weights dequanted on host — neither op has a device arm in this model's dispatch. Recorded in the row issue with the re-derived numbers: gate flips move from 7 hard (ON, pre-fix) to 4 ON / 3 OFF recorded before a deterministic device-DRAM exhaustion now reached because the walks survive longer; the full 33-prompt tally stays blocked on that memoized-staging budget (open debt). The streaming slot-pool what()=="1" throw did not fire on the fixed substrate.
