From db5bcde28b87d0043ee72bd2da8076a58768adc9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: gilbert-barajas Date: Sat, 13 Jun 2026 18:06:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] WIP diffusion_gemma: ModelArgs + slice 1 building blocks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit First Apple-repo contribution (ml-explore/mlx-lm #1391, lane confirmed open 2026-06-13). Text-only port of DiffusionGemma, mirroring mlx-vlm's working DiffusionGemma4Backbone (credit @Blaizzy) 1:1 so wire weights load directly. - ModelArgs (mirrors HF DiffusionGemmaTextConfig) + the 5-step build map. - Slice 1 building blocks: MLP, Router (scale + per_expert_scale), Experts (SwitchLinear), Attention (v_norm, k==v on full layers, global wide heads, per-layer-type RoPE, decoder cache-concat), SelfConditioning, DecoderLayer (4-norm summed MLP+MoE FF × layer_scalar). - Smoke-green (sliding+full forward). Next: encoder/decoder models, the encoder-decoder cache, Model+sanitize, diffusion_generate sampler. Logits parity vs transformers pending (torch env).

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Slices 2-3: DecoderModel (canvas denoiser + self-conditioning + per-layer-type decoder masks), text-only EncoderModel (prompt prefill via the decoder's tied layers in encoder mode + encoder layer-scalars), DiffusionGemma4Backbone, and the top-level Model (mlx-lm conventions: __call__→softcapped logits, make_cache, layers, sanitize, quant_predicate). KEY RESULT: the encoder→decoder cache-concat works with STANDARD mlx-lm KVCache/RotatingKVCache (StaticPrefixKVCache only needed for the static fast-path) — Fable's 'encoder-decoder breaks mlx-lm make_prompt_cache' risk resolved. Smoke-green: prompt -> prefill -> canvas denoise -> logits, softcap respected, all finite. Remaining: diffusion_generate sampler (slice 5), logits parity vs transformers (torch env), and the encoder-bidirectional-'all' parity item (flagged in code). Mirrors mlx-vlm (credit @Blaizzy).

Now returns the per-position argmax canvas. - HIGH: self-conditioning carried RAW logits; HF carries the temperature-SCALED (processed) logits (softmax differs under temperature), perturbing every step. Now carries the scaled logits. - MEDIUM: the encoder silently dropped the padding attention_mask (PAD tokens attended + cached). Threaded attention_mask through Model->backbone->encoder, with an explicit causal+sliding mask AND key-mask when one is supplied (mirrors mlx-vlm); fast no-mask path kept. - LOW: per-step renoise reused a fixed key (degenerate on the seeded path) — now splits the key each step. Deferred LOW (documented in-file): sliding-window decode for >512 prompts (inherited from mlx-vlm), no per-row B>1 freeze, the all sliding_window halve (verify vs real config).

With this + the existing sanitize, the real mlx-community diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it conversions load with ZERO key/shape mismatches. PROVEN ON THE REAL MODEL: mlx-community/diffusiongemma-26B-A4B-it-4bit loads (hidden=2816, 30 layers, 128 experts) and generates coherent text via diffusion_generate — 'Why is the sky blue?' -> a correct one-sentence answer, 256-token canvas in ~1.0s = ~250 tok/s on an M5 Max. First DiffusionGemma text port running the real 26B on Apple Silicon.
