feat(gemma4): complete Gemma 4 rewrite — Chapters 1-7#14
Conversation
Remove convert.py (Orbax→safetensors converter), orbax_loader.py, tensorstore dependency, all Orbax code paths from loader.py and hub.py, parity_config.py, and all 21 legacy test files that tested Gemma 2/3/3n behavior. Loader now supports safetensors only.
Replace ModelVariant (STANDARD/NANO) with Gemma4Variant enum supporting four Gemma 4 architectures: DENSE_31B, DENSE_E2B, DENSE_E4B, MOE_26B_A4B. Detection parses HuggingFace config.json instead of tensor name inspection.
Update GenerationConfig/EmbeddingConfig defaults to google/gemma-4-31B-it, top_k=64, top_p=0.95. Update hub tokenizer path for gemma4 family, update class docstrings and error messages from Gemma 3 to Gemma 4.
Replace _format_instruction_prompt with _format_gemma4_prompt supporting plain strings, system prompts, and multi-turn message lists. Thread system_prompt parameter through SyncGemmaModel and AsyncGemmaModel generate/generate_stream methods.
Update model.py docstrings and pyproject.toml description from Gemma 3 to Gemma 4. Verification: grep finds zero legacy references in src/py/.
Add test_config.py (11 tests), test_variant_detection.py (12 tests), test_chat_template.py (7 tests), test_loader.py (5 tests), and test_hub.py (10 tests). Total 45 tests covering all Ch1 deliverables.
Replace obstore GCSStore with HTTPStore for downloading Gemma 4 models from HuggingFace. Shard discovery via model.safetensors.index.json parsing instead of GCS bucket listing. Support HF_TOKEN env var for gated model access. Delete GCS-specific code paths.
Add _bf16_to_f32() utility that converts bfloat16 raw bytes to float32 via uint16→uint32 left-shift. SafetensorsLoader.get_tensor_metadata() now detects BF16 dtype from safetensors headers and converts in-memory, reporting F32 to Mojo. f32 and i8 tensors pass through unchanged.
Add resolve_tokenizer() with priority: explicit path > HF-downloaded tokenizer.model in model dir. Add validate_config_json() to verify Gemma 4 model_type and required fields from HuggingFace config.
Add test_hf_token.py (HF_TOKEN env var detection, Bearer header injection, token passthrough to download_sync) and test_config_json_download.py (config.json validation, variant detection integration). Full suite: 96 tests passing.
KVCache with per-layer ring buffer (sliding) and linear (full) allocation in a single contiguous arena. Dual RoPE frequency tables (theta=10K for sliding, theta=1M with partial rotation for full). Layer type dispatch in forward_gemma4_layer/forward_gemma4_step. compute_kv_cache_memory() Python utility with 9 tests. Deleted ~1,800 lines of Nano/GPU/Vision dead code.
Rewrite core.mojo to use forward_gemma4_step with hybrid KVCache and dual-theta RoPETables. Delete all Nano/Vision/GPU runtime code (~3,200 lines removed). Wire Python config.json parsing (layer_types, window_size, partial_rotary_factor, k_eq_v) through to Mojo init. - core.mojo: new init creates KVCache + RoPETables on heap, step_mojo calls forward_gemma4_step, reset_cache zeros hybrid KVCache, free_arena cleans up all heap objects - layers.mojo: remove legacy forward_attention, forward_layer, forward_step, forward_sequence (replaced by Gemma 4 functions in Ch3) - model.py: add _parse_gemma4_architecture(), pass layer_types as native Python list to Mojo, simplify _reset_llm_session_state - Delete 5 dead Mojo test files, rewrite 3 for Gemma 4 - 119 Python tests passing, zero dead code references
test_altup_contract.mojo and test_nano_layers.mojo were deleted in Ch3 (Nano cleanup) but remained in the parametrize list. The former caused a hard failure; the latter was masked by the unstable-skip list.
123 tests passing, 1 skipped (known unstable test_layers.mojo). All Nano/Vision/GPU dead code removed from core.mojo (~3,200 lines net). FFI boundary rewritten for Gemma 4 forward path.
…5 Task 5.1) Vision encoder weight structs for SigLIP ViT: VisionLayerWeights holds q/k/v/o_proj + fc1/fc2 MLP + layer_norm1/2 per layer. VisionModelWeights holds patch/position embeddings, post-norm, projection, and layer list.
…Task 5.5) Standalone GELU activation (SigLIP uses standard GELU, not GEGLU). Non-overlapping average_pool_2d reduces vision tokens by kernel^2 (9x for 3x3).
… Task 5.3) Rewrite ImageHydrator with token budget selection, SigLIP normalization ((pixel/255 - 0.5) / 0.5), and 16x16 patch extraction. Returns ImageInput dataclass with patches, grid dims, and token count.
…5.4) Extract video frames at 1 FPS, max 32 frames/60s, using lowest token budget (70). No new Python deps — ffmpeg subprocess only.
… 5.6) Batched multi-head attention for SigLIP vision encoder. All patches attend to all patches — no causal mask, no KV cache, no RoPE. Uses mat_mat_mul for batched Q/K/V projections.
…Ch5 Task 5.7) Full SigLIP encoder pipeline: patch embed → position embed → N vision transformer layers (LayerNorm + bidirectional attn + GELU MLP) → post-LayerNorm → 3×3 average pooling → decoder projection.
Add _build_vision_runtime/_build_vision_from_runtime to extract vision_tower.* tensors. Extend _init_model_impl_mojo to load vision weights when num_vision_layers > 0. Flatten/hydrate via Appender/Hydrator.
…5 Task 5.8) process_image_mojo runs vision encoder on patches, stores embeddings. step_with_embedding_mojo feeds pre-computed vision embeddings through decoder layers, bypassing token embedding lookup. Both registered in PyInit__core.
Parse vision_config section: num_hidden_layers, hidden_size, num_attention_heads, intermediate_size. Parse image_token_index. Add max_image_tokens to GenerationConfig (default 560).
… (Ch5 Task 5.9) During prefill, replace <image> placeholder tokens with vision embeddings via step_with_embedding. CoreBackend.process_images now passes ImageInput attributes (patches, grid_h, grid_w) to the FFI layer.
Remove hasattr guard on process_image — it's now registered in PyInit__core. All 117 Python tests + 4 Mojo test files pass. No legacy 384/patch_size=14 references remain.
Full multimodal vision pipeline: - VisionLayerWeights/VisionModelWeights structs - gelu + average_pool_2d ops - Bidirectional vision attention (no causal mask) - Full SigLIP encoder: patch embed → position embed → N layers → pooling → projection - Variable-resolution preprocessing: token budgets, SigLIP normalization, 16×16 patches - Video frame extraction via ffmpeg - process_image + step_with_embedding FFI - Token merging: replace <image> placeholders with vision embeddings - Vision config wiring from config.json 117 Python tests + 4 Mojo test files passing.
…/config Chapter 6 (E2B/E4B): - PLELayerWeights struct with per-layer embedding/projection/norm - forward_ple_input: embed → project → norm → add to hidden state - forward_gemma4_ple_step: E2B/E4B forward with PLE + shared-KV dispatch - Shared-KV config parsing (kv_sharing_layer_map) - Double-wide MLP flag parsing (use_double_wide_mlp) - ModelWeights extended with ple_layers + has_ple Chapter 7 (MoE 26B): - MoEExpertWeights, MoELayerWeights, MoEModelWeights structs - top_k op in ops.mojo (Int32 indices) - forward_moe_router: logits → softmax → top_k → renormalize - forward_moe_experts: sparse GEGLU expert dispatch + weighted sum - forward_moe_layer: attention (K=V) + MoE block - forward_gemma4_moe_step: full 26B forward path - MoE config parsing: num_experts, moe_top_k, moe_intermediate_size - Variant detection fix for num_local_experts 129 Python tests + 4 Mojo test files passing.
Chapter 5 — Vision Pipeline: VisionLayerWeights/VisionModelWeights, gelu + average_pool_2d ops, bidirectional vision attention, SigLIP encoder, variable-resolution preprocessing, video frame extraction, process_image + step_with_embedding FFI, token merging, vision config wiring. Chapter 6 — E2B/E4B: PLELayerWeights, forward_ple_input, forward_gemma4_ple_step, shared-KV attention dispatch, double-wide MLP config, PLE/KV config parsing. Chapter 7 — MoE 26B: MoEExpertWeights/MoELayerWeights/MoEModelWeights, top_k op, forward_moe_router, forward_moe_experts, forward_moe_layer, forward_gemma4_moe_step, MoE config parsing. 129 Python tests + 4 Mojo test files passing. Zero legacy vision references (384/patch_size=14). Zero unauthorized dependencies (scipy/librosa/torchaudio).
upload_layer_weights packs all 13 dense layer tensors into staging buffer. upload_expert_weights uploads a single MoE expert (gate/up/down_proj). upload_vision_layer_weights uploads 8 vision encoder tensors. Each function does one host→device copy and returns new weight struct with device pointers, preserving original shapes.
All 10 tasks: GPUContext, WeightStage, PersistentBuffers, GPUKVCache, GPUScratch, GPU init/cleanup paths, dense/MoE/vision upload functions.
Widen ops.mojo pointer types from MutExternalOrigin to MutAnyOrigin so both CPU heap pointers and GPU DeviceBuffer pointers work without casts. Define ComputeBackend trait with @staticmethod methods for all 9 ops. CPUBackend delegates to the existing @always_inline free functions with zero overhead. Chapter 2, Tasks 2.1-2.2.
New file ops_gpu.mojo with thread-per-element GPU kernels: - gelu_kernel: standard GELU activation using erf() - geglu_kernel: fused gate-GELU-up for MLP layers - rope_rotate_kernel: RoPE rotation, one thread per dim pair Also adds launch config utilities (ceildiv, optimal_block_size) and comptime constants (BLOCK_1D=256, TILE_BK=64, TILE_BM/BN=16). Chapter 2, Tasks 2.3-2.4, 2.13 (partial).
- softmax_kernel[BLOCK_SIZE]: single-block softmax using block_max and block_sum reductions for vectors up to BLOCK_SIZE - softmax_strided_kernel[BLOCK_SIZE]: strided variant for vectors larger than BLOCK_SIZE (multi-element per thread) - rms_norm_kernel[BLOCK_SIZE]: RMS normalization with Gemma's (1+w) scaling using block_sum for sum-of-squares All kernels use std.gpu.primitives.block for reductions, with BLOCK_SIZE as a comptime parameter for compile-time specialization. Chapter 2, Tasks 2.5-2.6.
Three tiled matmul kernels using shared memory: - vec_mat_mul_kernel: 1D tiled with shared x vector, BK=64 tile, each thread computes one output element - mat_mat_mul_kernel: 2D tiled (BM=16, BN=16, BK=16), two shared tiles for x and w, classic 2D matmul for batched vision ops - vec_mat_mul_i8_kernel: same tiling as vec_mat_mul but loads int8 weights with float32 cast and per-tensor scale Chapter 2, Tasks 2.7-2.9.
- average_pool_2d_kernel: one block per output spatial position, threads parallelize across hidden dimension, averages kernel×kernel input blocks (SigLIP vision encoder pooling) - top_k_kernel: single-warp kernel for MoE expert selection (k=8, n=128), uses warp_max for distributed max finding across lanes Chapter 2, Tasks 2.10-2.11.
GPUBackend provides convenience methods that handle grid/block sizing and shared memory allocation for each kernel. Cannot implement the ComputeBackend trait directly (GPU launches need DeviceContext), so layers use comptime if has_accelerator() to dispatch. Methods: launch_gelu, launch_geglu, launch_rope_rotate, launch_softmax, launch_rms_norm, launch_vec_mat_mul, launch_mat_mat_mul, launch_vec_mat_mul_i8, launch_average_pool_2d, launch_top_k. Chapter 2, Tasks 2.12-2.13.
- Replace deprecated 'alias' with 'comptime' for constants in model.mojo. - Transition from verbose 'List[T]()' to bracket literals '[]' for empty list initialization. - Audit 'raises' consistency across all 'def' functions for future Mojo compatibility. - Ensure all tests pass with updated syntax.
…backend-agnostic PersistentBuffers struct
… dispatch Wire GPU weight streaming through all Gemma 4 step functions (dense, PLE, MoE, vision/audio encoders). Key changes: - Add 2-phase MoE weight streaming: attention+router uploaded via new upload_moe_attention_weights, then each selected expert streamed on-demand - Add persistent GPU buffer support to step_with_embedding and MoE step - Replace scalar residual loops in MoE layer with backend.vector_add - Fix GPUBackend: move 7 misplaced trait methods from kernel functions back into the struct (vector_add, average_pool_2d, top_k, kv_write, attention) - Fix module-level comptime-if scoping: use unconditional GPU type imports - Fix Mojo keyword conflicts (out -> dst) and DevicePassable (Bool -> Int) - Remove raises from upload functions, use abort-on-error pattern - Remove duplicate get_attention_range and except block
…te utility Complete remaining gpu-forward-paths tasks: - Task 4.9: Parameterize forward_vision_encoder with S/C type params for GPU weight streaming via upload_vision_layer_weights per layer - Task 4.10: Same pattern for forward_audio_encoder - Task 4.12: Add copy_state kernel+function to gpu_context.mojo for device-to-device state copy without host involvement - Replace scalar state-swap loops with backend.copy() in both encoders - Fix test_vision_encoder.mojo to pass CPUBackend and new params - Add test_gpu_forward.mojo with CPU regression and GPU integration tests

Adds a GitHub Actions workflow that runs `make benchmark` on every push to main and on pull requests. Results are uploaded as artifacts for 90-day retention. Purely informational — does not gate PRs.
Standardizes dictionary keys for GPU resources ('_gpu_context_ptr' and
'_gpu_weight_stage_ptr') to ensure consistent lookup across FFI entry
points. This fixes runtime lookups and ensures template instantiation
gating works as intended during build on CPU-only CI environments.
