vllm.models.qwen4_exp.nvidia.hyperconnection ¶
HyperConnection (Gated Residual) utilities — NVIDIA model variant.
Implements the HyperConnection residual scheme proposed in "HyperConnections" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.19606). This NVIDIA variant delays each HC combine to the following HC mix boundary. HC glue kernels, including fused combine+RMSNorm, live in ops/hc.py; projections remain standard vLLM Linear modules.
Hidden states between layers have shape [..., HC*HS] with HS inner (HC outer, HS inner — checkpoint-native layout).
Typical usage inside a transformer decoder layer::
self.attn_hc = GatedResidual(hc_config)
hidden_states, block_input, injection = self.attn_hc.mix(hidden_states)
attention_output = attention(block_input)
hidden_states, block_input, injection = self.mlp_hc.combine_and_mix(
hidden_states, attention_output, injection
)
Classes:
-
GatedResidual–Gated HyperConnection with learnable low-rank mixing and injection.
-
HyperConnectionConfig–Configuration shared by all HyperConnection variants.
GatedResidual ¶
Bases: Module
Gated HyperConnection with learnable low-rank mixing and injection.
combine_and_mix() runs the pre pipeline (grouped GemmaRMSNorm -> merged low-rank down+inject GEMM -> silu -> up GEMM -> sigmoid -> gated mean over the HC streams). When passed a pending block output, it fuses its residual combine with the RMSNorm. A missing injection selects unit-weight combine. Final mixers use use_combine=False and do not produce a new injection.
Weights: the norm owns the grouped GemmaRMSNorm affine; the projections are vLLM Linear modules (merged replicated linear for down+inject), so GEMM dispatch (e.g. the low-latency skinny GEMM) applies through the standard quant_method mechanism.
Methods:
-
combine_and_mix–Consume a pending combine, then prepare the next block input.

combine_and_mix(hidden_states, prev_block_output, prev_injection) ¶
Consume a pending combine, then prepare the next block input.
hidden_states is the multi-stream state from before the pending block's mix. Its combine with block_output is fused with this module's input RMSNorm. A missing injection applies the block output to every stream with unit weight.
