Bases: BaseSparseAttentionConfig

Configuration for MiniMax-M3 block-sparse attention.

Drives the two-step sparse attention used by MiniMax-M3 layers 3..N:

  1. An index attention branch projects a per-head Q vector and a single replicated K vector, scores main K/V cache blocks, and selects the top-k blocks per (num_kv_heads, q_token) pair, with init_blocks forced at the head and local_blocks forced at the tail.

  2. A sparse GQA attention runs only over the selected blocks.

At runtime one of the MiniMax-M3 sparse attention backends under tensorrt_llm._torch.attention_backend.sparse.minimax_m3 is selected. The chosen backend runs on top of a MiniMaxM3KVCacheManagerV2 that allocates a paged side index-K cache of shape [num_slots, 1, sparse_index_dim] parallel to the main K/V cache. The M3 checkpoint sets disable_index_value=True on every sparse layer, so no index V cache is allocated.

field algorithm: Literal['minimax_m3'] = 'minimax_m3'#
field implementation: Literal['triton', 'msa'] = 'triton'#

Sparse attention implementation: ‘triton’ reference (default) or ‘msa’ (fmha_sm100 kernels). The ‘msa’ implementation requires an SM100 GPU, the fmha_sm100 package, and sparse_block_size == 128.

field indexer_kv_dtype: Literal['bf16', 'fp8'] = 'bf16'#

Storage and score-compute dtype for normalized index Q/K. ‘fp8’ uses unscaled E4M3 values with FP32 score accumulation and is supported only by the MSA implementation.

field num_attention_heads: int | None = None#

Global number of attention (query) heads. When unset, it falls back to pretrained_config.num_attention_heads.

field num_key_value_heads: int | None = None#

Global number of key/value heads. When unset, it falls back to pretrained_config.num_key_value_heads, then to num_attention_heads.

field sparse_block_size: int = 128#

Block size used by per-block scoring + top-k selection.

field sparse_disable_index_value: bool = True#

If True, skip the index V branch (M3 checkpoint default).

field sparse_index_dim: int = 128#

Per-head index Q/K dimension.

Constraints:
  • gt = 0

field sparse_init_blocks: int = 0#

Number of leading blocks forced into the top-k regardless of score.

field sparse_local_blocks: int = 1#

Number of trailing blocks forced into the top-k regardless of score.

field sparse_num_index_heads: Annotated[int, Gt(gt=0)] = 4#

Number of index-attention heads (per TP rank’s view).

Constraints:
  • gt = 0

field sparse_score_type: Literal['max'] = 'max'#

Per-block score reduction; the M3 checkpoint sets ‘max’.

field sparse_topk_blocks: int = 16#

Number of top-k blocks per (kv_head, q_token).

`python {test="skip" lint="skip"} data = self.model_dump(include=include, exclude=exclude, round_trip=True) data = {**data, **(update or {})} copied = self.model_validate(data) `

Parameters:
  • include – Optional set or mapping specifying which fields to include in the copied model.

  • exclude – Optional set or mapping specifying which fields to exclude in the copied model.

  • update – Optional dictionary of field-value pairs to override field values in the copied model.

  • deep – If True, the values of fields that are Pydantic models will be deep-copied.

Returns:

A copy of the model with included, excluded and updated fields as specified.

classmethod model_construct(
_fields_set: set[str] | None = None,
**values: Any,
) Self#

Creates a new instance of the Model class with validated data.

Creates a new model setting __dict__ and __pydantic_fields_set__ from trusted or pre-validated data. Default values are respected, but no other validation is performed.

!!! note

model_construct() generally respects the model_config.extra setting on the provided model. That is, if model_config.extra == ‘allow’, then all extra passed values are added to the model instance’s __dict__ and __pydantic_extra__ fields. If model_config.extra == ‘ignore’ (the default), then all extra passed values are ignored. Because no validation is performed with a call to model_construct(), having model_config.extra == ‘forbid’ does not result in an error if extra values are passed, but they will be ignored.

Parameters:
  • _fields_set – A set of field names that were originally explicitly set during instantiation. If provided, this is directly used for the [model_fields_set][pydantic.BaseModel.model_fields_set] attribute. Otherwise, the field names from the values argument will be used.

  • values – Trusted or pre-validated data dictionary.

Returns:

A new instance of the Model class with validated data.

model_copy(

!!! abstract “Usage Documentation”

[model_copy](../concepts/models.md#model-copy)

Returns a copy of the model.

!!! note

The underlying instance’s [__dict__][object.__dict__] attribute is copied. This might have unexpected side effects if you store anything in it, on top of the model fields (e.g. the value of [cached properties][functools.cached_property]).

Parameters:
  • update – Values to change/add in the new model. Note: the data is not validated before creating the new model. You should trust this data.

  • deep – Set to True to make a deep copy of the model.

Returns:

New model instance.

[model_dump](../concepts/serialization.md#python-mode)

Generate a dictionary representation of the model, optionally specifying which fields to include or exclude.

Parameters:
  • mode – The mode in which to_python should run. If mode is ‘json’, the output will only contain JSON serializable types. If mode is ‘python’, the output may contain non-JSON-serializable Python objects.

  • include – A set of fields to include in the output.

  • exclude – A set of fields to exclude from the output.

  • context – Additional context to pass to the serializer.

  • by_alias – Whether to use the field’s alias in the dictionary key if defined.

  • exclude_unset – Whether to exclude fields that have not been explicitly set.

  • exclude_defaults – Whether to exclude fields that are set to their default value.

  • exclude_none – Whether to exclude fields that have a value of None.

  • exclude_computed_fields – Whether to exclude computed fields. While this can be useful for round-tripping, it is usually recommended to use the dedicated round_trip parameter instead.

  • round_trip – If True, dumped values should be valid as input for non-idempotent types such as Json[T].

  • warnings – How to handle serialization errors. False/”none” ignores them, True/”warn” logs errors, “error” raises a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError].

  • fallback – A function to call when an unknown value is encountered. If not provided, a [PydanticSerializationError][pydantic_core.PydanticSerializationError] error is raised.

  • serialize_as_any – Whether to serialize fields with duck-typing serialization behavior.

  • ref_template – The reference template.

  • union_format

    The format to use when combining schemas from unions together. Can be one of:

    keyword to combine schemas (the default). - ‘primitive_type_array’: Use the [type](https://json-schema.org/understanding-json-schema/reference/type) keyword as an array of strings, containing each type of the combination. If any of the schemas is not a primitive type (string, boolean, null, integer or number) or contains constraints/metadata, falls back to any_of.

String representing the new class where params are passed to cls as type variables.

Raises:

TypeError – Raised when trying to generate concrete names for non-generic models.

model_post_init(
context: Any,
/,

raise_errors: bool = True,
_parent_namespace_depth: int = 2,
_types_namespace: MappingNamespace | None = None,
