Qwen3.5 / Qwen3.6 系列#

一种混合架构,将 Mamba / Gated-DeltaNet (GDN) linear-attention 层与 full-attention 层交错,供 Qwen3.5 和 Qwen3.6 系列共享。LMCache 在注册时将递归状态缓存重新解释为不透明页面;有关 Mamba / linear-attention 模型的一般处理,请参见 Hybrid Attention 模型

验证过的模型#

引擎文档: vLLM 支持的模型中的 Qwen3.5(架构 Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration)。

状态: 已通过 LMCache 验证。

该系列中的每个模型都需要相同的三项设置:align Mamba 缓存模式、前缀缓存,以及与 vLLM 的统一块大小匹配的分块大小。该块大小因模型而异——vLLM 在启动时会输出 Setting attention block size to N tokens

Set the LMCache server's --chunk-size to that N (or a multiple of it) and enable --separate-object-groups, then set vLLM's --max-num-batched-tokens to at least N. Keeping it below 2N (e.g. 2N-1) snapshots the Mamba state at every block boundary for the finest cache reuse; larger values raise prefill throughput at coarser reuse — see the note below.

Qwen3.6-27B (1 GPU, N = 7842N-1 = 1567):

lmcache server --chunk-size 784 --separate-object-groups \
    --l1-size-gb 100 --eviction-policy LRU
vllm serve Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B \
    --enable-prefix-caching \
    --mamba-cache-mode align \
    --max-num-batched-tokens 1567 \
    --kv-transfer-config \
    '{"kv_connector":"LMCacheMPConnector", "kv_role":"kv_both"}'

Qwen3.5-0.8B (1 GPU, N = 5442N-1 = 1087): 与上述相同,使用 --chunk-size 544--max-num-batched-tokens 1087

--mamba-cache-mode align is required (GDN does not support the all mode). --separate-object-groups (server) is required for hybrid models so the Mamba layers get their own cache objects; it is also what lets --max-num-batched-tokens exceed 2N. --max-num-batched-tokens must be at least N: align snapshots the Mamba state at scheduler-step ends on a block boundary, and the scheduler splits prefills into whole N-token blocks. Within [N, 2N) every step advances exactly one block, so LMCache snapshots every block boundary (finest reuse); prefer ``2N-1``, whose spare N-1 budget lets decodes co-schedule with a prefill block. Setting it to exactly N makes the per-step budget one block, so once any request is decoding (consuming ≥1 token of the budget) no new request can start prefill — execution serializes to one request at a time. (Benchmarked on Qwen3.6-27B: at N a cold / low-hit run ran ~7× slower with GPU batch stuck at 1; 2N-1 restored full batching. With a warm LMCache cache (~97 % hit) the gap is small since little prefill remains, but 2N-1 is the safe default.) Values 2N raise prefill throughput with larger steps but snapshot only the last block of each step, so cached prefixes align to step boundaries rather than every block. If vLLM reports "max_num_seqs exceeds available Mamba cache blocks", lower --max-num-seqs to ≤ that count (each decode sequence needs one Mamba block) or raise --gpu-memory-utilization.

CacheGen

不支持

混合组的缓存页面是字节不透明的。

注意事项#

  • 缓存运行与全新运行的生成结果不保证逐位一致:GDN 后端不支持 vLLM 的批不变模式。预期结果在得分层面等价,而非 token 层面严格一致(CI 验证门为 hma_lm_eval_qwen3_5 gsm8k 存储与检索对比)。

  • Mamba 和 full-attention 组的缓存页面是字节不透明视图,因此不适用内容感知处理,缓存条目不得在具有不同注意力后端或内核块大小的引擎之间共享。

  • vLLM 的 Mamba 前缀缓存在 align 模式下属于实验性功能。

  • Qwen/Qwen3.6-27B 是一个视觉语言模型(它加载一个视觉塔);LMCache 验证涵盖 文本 生成(hma_lm_eval_qwen3_5 gsm8k 存取门)。图像/视频 KV 的缓存未经过验证。
