Megatron-Bridge distillation: packed chat-SFT data prep and per-document attention - #2912
Conversation
…on-Bridge distillation - chat_jsonl blends: tokenizer/max_length/loss_mode drop rows with no trained token; pack_max_tokens pairs rows for --sft_in_batch_packing --mbs 2. - distill.py --document_boundaries: per-document THD segments for pre-tokenized data. - examples/megatron_bridge/requirements.txt: flash-linear-attention>=0.5.2, since earlier versions compute packed Gated DeltaNet wrongly (nemo:26.08 ships 0.4.2).

Explanation
No stated security anti-pattern was introduced. The changed Python code adds no
torch.load(..., weights_only=False),numpy.load(..., allow_pickle=True), external-inputeval/exec, or# nosec. New tokenizer loads do not hardcodetrust_remote_code=True; the distillation path passes the caller-controlled flag, and the blend-preparation path uses Transformers' default. The newflash-linear-attention>=0.5.2example dependency is identified in the supplied PR context as MIT-licensed, so the non-permissive-license condition does not apply.

mp.Pooluses the platform default start method. Withfork, workers inherit the parent process state, and the parent may already hold CUDA or tokenizer thread state. Hugging Face tokenizers can warn or deadlock after a fork when the parent has used them in parallel. In this flow the parent has not yet loaded a tokenizer, so the risk is low.

Pass the student tokenizer's EOS (what --append_eod writes) and fail on data whose first document does not end with it.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
Nudge: the code looks correct and it is within budget (~160 core lines). But no test checks the cu_seqlens that --document_boundaries produces. The e2e run only shows that training completes.
Needs action:
- Add a CPU unit test for
getitem_with_boundariesindistill.py. Cover EOD mid-window, EOD as the last token, EOD as the first token, and no EOD at all. Assertcu_seqlens_q/max_seqlen_q(see inline). - Fix the PR body's Testing section. It names
test_distill_llm_document_boundaries, but the diff adds--document_boundariesto the existingtest_distill_llm_hf_exportinstead. The 32–34 segments per window also don't fit the comment that mock documents are 1–4095 tokens. - Confirm that adding
flash-linear-attention>=0.5.2(MIT) to the newexamples/megatron_bridge/requirements.txtfollows the CONTRIBUTING.md guidance for new pip dependencies.
No action needed:
- Design check: this extends
prepare_chat_data_blendanddistill.pyand adds no new subsystem. The PR body explains why theGPTDataset.__getitem__wrapper is used instead of Megatron-Core'sinter_document_masking. - The edit to
test_distill_llm_hf_exportis justified. Its assertions are unchanged, and the plain--use_mock_datapath is still covered bytest_distill_validate_only,test_distill_vlmand the puzzletron test. - I traced
_pair_rowsand it is correct;test_pair_rows_pairs_long_with_short_under_the_capmatches the greedy rule. - The imports inside functions in
prepare_megatron_data_blend.pyare justified: they load optional Megatron-Bridge dependencies and initialise the pool workers.

Bot review (bedrock-claude-opus-5-5) — DM the bot to share feedback.
LGTM: every concern from the last review is fixed in the diff. A human still has to sign off on the changed existing test and the new example dependency.
Needs action:
- Sign off on two things. First, the justified edit to
test_distill_llm_hf_export: it now runs--document_boundariesat seq 2048 and its assertions are unchanged. Second, the new example-onlyflash-linear-attention>=0.5.2(MIT) requirement inexamples/megatron_bridge/requirements.txt.
No action needed:
- ✔️ Resolved since the last review:
- The new CPU test
test_document_boundaries_cu_seqlenscovers the boundary math. It checks EOD mid-window, EOD as the last token, EOD as the first token, and no EOD. I traced all four expectedcu_seqlensand they are correct. - The PR body's Testing section and the test comment now say 17–18 segments per window, because the mock EOD id recurs every 128 tokens.
- The FLA license question: the author confirmed it is MIT and an example-only requirement.
- The new CPU test
- The EOD-id mismatch CodeRabbit flagged is fixed.
null_tokenizer_eod_idnow comes from the student EOS, andtest_document_eod_idcovers it. - The design is unchanged from the last review: it extends the existing scripts and adds no new subsystem. The idea of upstreaming into Megatron's tokenization script is future work.
- Core logic is about 160 lines, well under the 500-line budget. I read the tests but did not run them.

retain the assistant-turn requirement for "assistant" and "last_turn" modes so
valid system/user-only rows are not discarded before tokenization.
- Around line 355-356: In tokenize_chat_example, narrow the ValueError handler
to suppress only Bridge’s specific no-loss-span error and return 0 for that
case; re-raise other ValueError instances, including configuration errors.

…setup errors With loss_mode: full, Megatron-Bridge trains rows without an assistant turn, so the chat blend keeps them. Only Bridge's no-loss-span error marks a row as untrainable; other ValueErrors (e.g. a tokenizer without a chat template) would have dropped every row and are raised.

Makes the packed chat-SFT and per-document-attention distillation setups from the Qwen3.6-35B-A3B and GLM-5.3-Flash QAD studies usable for experiments on other models. In a controlled rerun on Qwen3.6-35B-A3B (50 QAD iterations, 6 benchmarks), they scored within noise of the plain pre-tokenized blend: mean delta vs BF16 −1.30 pre-tokenized, −0.85 with per-document attention, −1.02 chat SFT with assistant-only loss. The study used out-of-tree scripts; this upstreams what they needed.
chat_jsonlblends can prepare data for--sft_in_batch_packing(prepare_megatron_data_blend). New optional keys:tokenizer+max_length(=--seq_length): tokenize every row with Megatron-Bridge's own chat path (tokenize_chat_example, same boundary config and skipped tokens as training), innum_workersprocesses. Rows with no trained token left after truncation are dropped: Bridge raises on them from a dataloader worker, mid-run.loss_mode: matches--sft_loss_mode.pack_max_tokens: write each split as pairs of at most that many tokens (two-pointer, longest with shortest; pairs shuffled withseed). With--mbs 2, Bridge's in-order sampler packs rows(2k, 2k+1)into one micro-batch at any DP size. Without pairing, two random 32K rows make a 64K pack, whose fp32 logits OOM on large-vocab models.distill.py --document_boundaries(pre-tokenized or mock data,--mbs 1,--cp_size 1): gives each EOD-separated document of a window its own THD segment, so attention, positions and linear-attention state restart per document. It wrapsGPTDataset.__getitem__to addcu_seqlens_q/max_seqlen_q, which Bridge's GPT step turns intopacked_seq_params. Megatron-Core's newerinter_document_maskingemits a paddedcu_seqlensthat Bridge's step does not trim, so it is not used here.examples/megatron_bridge/requirements.txtpinsflash-linear-attention>=0.5.2. On packed (cu_seqlens) input, FLA's Gated DeltaNetchunk_gated_delta_ruledisagrees with running each sequence alone and is not reproducible run to run, for teacher and student alike. Random-input check, packed vs per-document:nemo:26.08)KDA (
chunk_kda) is correct on all of them, within bf16 rounding. Unpacked training is exact on every version. The requirements file carries a TODO to remove it once the examples move tonemo:26.10(which ships 0.5.2).Docs: packing guidance and the FLA note in the Megatron-Bridge README, the new keys in

Megatron-LM main also pinsflash-linear-attention==0.5.1.DirectSFTDatasetkeeps every row as a Python dict on every rank (~150 GB RSS per rank for 4 GB of jsonl), so large chat-SFT runs still need per-job row windows. The fix belongs in Megatron-Bridge (feat(data): load direct-HF SFT rows lazily from the memory-mapped dataset NVIDIA-NeMo/Megatron-Bridge#6590 adds a lazy, memory-mapped row option).Before your PR is "Ready for review"
