調査の方向性

modelopt/deploy/llm/generate.py の 122 行目付近と examples/llm_eval/lm_eval_tensorrt_llm.py から始め、特に parse_logprobs を確認してください。提供されている lm-eval の MMLU コマンドで問題を再現し、prefix caching を有効にした状態で繰り返しリクエストを調べてください。prefix-cache の再利用を有効にしたまま、全長の logits と正しい loglikelihood 評価が復元され、結果が HF ベースラインに近くなれば完了です。

説明

bug

Before submitting an issue, please make sure it hasn't been already addressed by searching through the existing and past issues.

Describe the bug

  • modelopt.deploy.llm.LLM.generate_context_logits() is built on top of TensorRT-LLM's return_context_logits=True. When KV cache prefix reuse is active (which is the default), TensorRT-LLM skips the forward pass for cached prefix tokens and returns only the logits for the un-cached tail of the prompt — without any error or warning. This silently breaks every downstream loglikelihood-style evaluation (lm-eval-harness MMLU etc.) that uses generate_context_logits, because parse_logprobs slices into a logits tensor that is much shorter than the prompt and produces meaningless logprobs.

  • The TRT-LLM result is below the 25% random baseline because every prompt after the first one returns truncated logits → parse_logprobs ends up summing to ~0.0 for every candidate → lm-eval picks option A by stable-sort tie-breaking, and accuracy collapses to "% of questions where A is the gold answer".
Root cause
  • Adding debug prints to parse_logprobs shows the smoking gun:
 # request 1 (cold)
 ctxlen=469, logits_len=470, tokens_len=470   ← OK

 # request 2+ (prefix cache hit)
 [TensorRT-LLM][WARNING] [kv cache manager] storeContextBlocks: Can not find sequence for request 2048
 ctxlen=469, logits_len=1, tokens_len=470     ← BROKEN: only 1 logit returned
  • The first request does a full prefill and returns 470 logits as expected. Subsequent requests in the same MMLU subtask share the 5-shot demo prefix → KV cache prefix reuse hits → the forward pass is skipped for the cached portion → TensorRT-LLM returns only the logits for the un-cached tail (often just 1 token, the last differing token of the question).

  • parse_logprobs in examples/llm_eval/lm_eval_tensorrt_llm.py then does:

 logits_single_batch[(ctxlen_single_batch - 1) : -1]   # slice [468:-1] on a length-1 tensor

which yields an empty tensor → logprob_sum=0.0 for every continuation candidate → lm-eval cannot distinguish A/B/C/D.

Confirmed fix
  • Setting enable_block_reuse=False in the KV cache config restores correctness. Verified locally: mmlu_philosophy 5-shot recovers from 0.1865 to 0.3151, matching the HF golden baseline.
# In modelopt/deploy/llm/generate.py, line ~122:

Things tried that did NOT fix it
  • Switching to TensorRT-LLM's prompt_logprobs API (SamplingParams(prompt_logprobs=k)): on the tested TRT-LLM version, prompt_logprobs shares the same forward-output path as1 return_context_logits and is also truncated when prefix cache hits. The hope that prompt_logprobs would semantically guarantee full-length output (as it does in vLLM) does not hold for TensorRT-LLM in this version.
