From d6d11572ba77c44d69b7093bb613f02f524ea4d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rongzhi Gu <51925155+Adiactive@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Tue, 26 May 2026 21:12:00 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/9] feat(engine): delegate megatron live weight sync to bridge.export_hf_weights Add use_bridge_for_update_weights flag that routes the live weight update path through megatron-bridge.export_hf_weights instead of the hand-rolled convert_to_hf registry. Required for new model families (e.g. Qwen3.5) that don't have a registry entry. The bridge handles TP/EP/PP gather and HF layout transformation internally; AReaL keeps the bucketed broadcast loop unchanged. FP8 and LoRA paths fall back to the registry automatically. Also fix a latent device-context bug in _load_model_from_hf: megatron-bridge builds shard-index tensors via torch.arange() under the caller's `with self.device:` context, putting them on CUDA while HF weights are loaded on CPU. The resulting indexing error trips ChunkedMapping for any model with GDN/Mamba conv1d weights (e.g. Qwen3.5). Force CPU as the factory-op default just around the bridge.load_hf_weights call. Key changes: - New MegatronEngineConfig.use_bridge_for_update_weights flag - Refactor _update_weights_from_distributed into dispatch + _update_weights_via_registry helper - New _update_weights_via_bridge streams from bridge.export_hf_weights and reuses the bucket broadcast loop - Wrap bridge.load_hf_weights in `with torch.device("cpu"):` to prevent CUDA index / CPU tensor mismatch in ChunkedMapping --- areal/api/cli_args.py | 10 +++++ areal/engine/megatron_engine.py | 74 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- docs/en/cli_reference.md | 1 + docs/zh/cli_reference.md | 1 + 4 files changed, 82 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/areal/api/cli_args.py b/areal/api/cli_args.py index 7c5344572..5757cbfb3 100644 --- a/areal/api/cli_args.py +++ b/areal/api/cli_args.py @@ -940,6 +940,16 @@ class MegatronEngineConfig: }, ) + use_bridge_for_update_weights: bool = field( + default=False, + metadata={ + "help": "When True and bridge_type='megatron-bridge', delegate live " + "weight sync to bridge.export_hf_weights instead of the hand-rolled " + "convert_to_hf registry.

All Qwen3.5 tests route through bridge_type=megatron-bridge because its GDN hybrid attention is only handled by megatron-bridge's model definitions (mbridge would substring-match qwen3 and emit wrong shapes). NOTE: these tests currently fail at engine.forward because megatron-core's GDN layer raises NotImplementedError on packed (THD) sequences.

Exposing it as the `use_padded_seq` config field let it be mis-set and risked silent correctness or crash issues. Derive it from `model_type` instead so the layout can never disagree with the architecture. Also surface a startup warning when `use_bridge_for_update_weights=True` but a fallback condition (non-megatron-bridge, FP8/quantized, or LoRA) silently routes live weight sync through the registry path, so the effective behavior is visible in logs. Key changes: - Add requires_padded_seq(model_type) helper in engine/core/model.py - Derive self.use_padded_seq from model_type in MegatronEngine.initialize - Remove use_padded_seq from MegatronEngineConfig and regenerate CLI docs - Warn once when bridge weight-sync falls back to the registry path - Drop the test-runner override map and example yaml flag Refs: #1384 --- areal/api/cli_args.py | 12 ---- areal/engine/core/model.py | 10 +++ areal/engine/megatron_engine.py | 37 ++++++++--- docs/en/cli_reference.md | 61 +++++++++---------- docs/zh/cli_reference.md | 61 +++++++++---------- .../qwen3_5_2b_megatron_geometry3k_grpo.yaml | 1 - tests/test_megatron_engine_distributed.py | 7 ++- .../run_megatron_engine_distributed.py | 8 --- 8 files changed, 103 insertions(+), 94 deletions(-) diff --git a/areal/api/cli_args.py b/areal/api/cli_args.py index b3df4982b..983bd933f 100644 --- a/areal/api/cli_args.py +++ b/areal/api/cli_args.py @@ -950,18 +950,6 @@ class MegatronEngineConfig: }, ) - use_padded_seq: bool = field( - default=False, - metadata={ - "help": "Force padded (BSHD) input layout instead of packed (THD) for " - "forward / train_batch.
