From 686c8b6cb09db75f9b6b5b7e5915508bf62b1616 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Your Name Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 14:58:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat: FSM-based tool call constrained decoding via outlines-core MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Core infrastructure for replacing 18 string-based tool parsers with a finite state machine that guarantees valid JSON tool calls. Architecture: - FSMToolCallCache: compiles tool schemas → outlines Index, cached by schema hash. Precompile at server startup (2-8s one-time cost). - FSMToolCallProcessor: two-mode logits processor — free mode (all tokens allowed) → constrained mode (only FSM-valid tokens) when model outputs a tool call trigger (e.g., \n). - TOOL_CALL_TRIGGERS: per-parser trigger/closing patterns for all 18 parser formats. Performance: - Per-token FSM overhead: 0.9 µs (0.004% of 20ms decode step) - Cache hit: instant (same tools → same compiled FSM) - Compile: ~2.3s for generic schema, cached permanently 12 tests covering cache, processor, factory, and performance.

Now the trigger sets a pending flag, and activation only happens on the next token if it starts with '{'. Also: doctor check/full/benchmark tiers now pass --enable-auto-tool-choice --tool-call-parser hermes --enable-tool-logits-bias so tool calling + FSM are exercised in all tiers. 13 tests pass including new XML-skip test. Benchmark: qwopus-27b-8bit 22.4 tok/s, 508ms TTFT, PASS.
