New types: GGML_TYPE_TURBO3_0 (3-bit) and GGML_TYPE_TURBO4_0 (4-bit) Implements PolarQuant + QJL compression per the ICLR 2026 paper. Block size = 128 (matching head_dim for optimal rotation Gaussianization) turbo3: 52 bytes per 128 values = 3.25 bits/value (4.9× vs fp16) turbo4: 68 bytes per 128 values = 4.25 bits/value (3.8× vs fp16) Status: - ✅ Type definitions in ggml.h - ✅ Block structures in ggml-common.h - ✅ Quantize/dequantize C implementation in ggml-turbo-quant.c - ✅ Registered in ggml.c type traits - ✅ Added to kv_cache_types in arg.cpp - ✅ Builds successfully - ✅ Shows in --help output - ❌ Metal SET_ROWS kernel not implemented (blocks GPU inference) - ❌ Needs Metal dequantize kernels for attention computation Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Added Metal shader implementations: - quantize_turbo3_0 / quantize_turbo4_0 (per-block quantization) - dequantize_turbo3_0 / dequantize_turbo4_0 (type4x4 and type4 variants) - kernel_set_rows_turbo template (128-element block size) - Flash attention instantiations for all dk/dv variants Added TURBO3_0/TURBO4_0 to Metal device SET_ROWS validation. Builds successfully. Testing with Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B MoE on M5 Max. Note: Initial version uses simplified quantization (no rotation matrix) for Metal compatibility. Full rotation requires custom kernel with extra buffer bindings — tracked for follow-up. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…g#21 Embedded pre-computed 128×128 rotation and QJL matrices (256KB constant memory) directly in the Metal shader. Both quantize and dequantize now perform the full TurboQuant algorithm: Quantize: normalize → rotate → codebook → inverse rotate → residual → QJL Dequantize: codebook → inverse rotate → QJL correction → rescale Previous version (no rotation) produced garbage. This should produce meaningful output since the rotation Gaussianizes the KV distribution. Note: dequantize does full 128-element rotation per chunk (8× work). Optimization possible with caching or restructured kernel in follow-up. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…ml-org#21 - Inlined turbo-matrices.h directly into ggml-metal.metal (256KB) to fix JIT compilation failure with #include - Added C round-trip test (test-turbo-quant.c): turbo3 cosine=0.906, turbo4 cosine=0.966 — matches Python prototype - Metal library loads successfully ("loaded in 5.9 sec") - Model runs on Metal but output quality needs debugging (Metal quantize/dequantize may have a bug vs the working C version) C round-trip PROVES the algorithm works in C. Metal shader needs debugging — likely an issue with the dequantize chunk addressing or the large constant arrays in thread-local memory.

…org#23 Codex review found: 1. Stale duplicate code in dequantize_turbo3_0_t4 (compile would fail) 2. thread static is risky/non-portable in MSL Fixed: removed thread static caching, using plain thread locals. Speed unchanged (2.4 tok/s) — the static caching wasn't actually working on Metal. True optimization needs architectural change in flash attention kernel to dequantize once per block, not per chunk.

…gml-org#26 Massive reduction in constant memory and compute: - 256KB of dense matrices → 512 bytes of sign arrays - O(d²) = 16,384 ops → O(d log d) = 896 ops per rotation - Metal shader file: 1.5MB → 432KB Speed: still 2.4 tok/s. WHT reduced per-rotation cost but the bottleneck is redundant calls (8-32× per block from flash attention). The dequantize function is called per 4/16-element chunk, each time doing the full 128-element WHT. Need to modify the flash attention kernel to dequantize once per block. Quality: WHT+signs gives BETTER quality than dense QR on real KV tensors (cosine 0.94 vs 0.79 at 2-bit). Sub-Gaussian distribution (kurtosis 1.53) means fewer outliers hitting extreme centroids. Reviewed by Codex: WHT butterfly correct, inverse order verified, QJL correction matches reference C implementation.

…gml-org#23 Root cause analysis: 8-32× redundant full-block dequantize per block from flash attention template. Four approaches documented with expected speedups and risk levels.

…gml-org#23 No-op dequant test: even returning all zeros from dequantize, turbo3 runs at 2.4 tok/s (same as with full WHT rotation). The bottleneck is NOT in the attention dequantize path. New hypothesis: the SET_ROWS (quantize) path is the bottleneck. The Metal quantize_turbo3_0 function does 3 WHT rotations per KV write, totaling ~3200 ops per block × 224 blocks per token.

…rg#23 CRITICAL BUG: The #include "turbo-wht.h" caused Metal JIT compilation to fail at runtime. The model silently fell back to CPU for ALL ops. ALL previous benchmarks (2.4 tok/s) were measuring CPU, not Metal GPU. After inlining the header: - MoE gen: 2.4 → 10.7 tok/s (4.5× improvement, now actually on Metal) - MoE prompt: 4.2 → 60.9 tok/s (14.5× improvement) Remaining gap vs q8_0: 85 → 10.7 tok/s (8× slower, down from 35×) This is the SAME bug we hit with turbo-matrices.h earlier. Rule: NEVER use #include in ggml-metal.metal — always inline. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…org#23 Previous 2.4 tok/s was CPU fallback. Real Metal numbers: MoE: 10.7 tok/s gen (8× slower than q8_0, was thought to be 35×) Qwopus: 5.3 tok/s gen (3.3× slower than q8_0) Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>

…-org#28 Key findings from Dejan.ai, unixsysdev, and mudler: 1. QJL naively added back destroys quality (cosine 0.69) 2. Pre-rotate queries eliminates rotation from dequant path 3. WHT abandoned by everyone — dense QR or no rotation preferred 4. unixsysdev gets -0.8% speed loss with fused CUDA kernel 5.

…in) ggml-org#23 Removing WHT rotation from dequant (quality broken, speed test only): gen: 10.7 → 49.1 tok/s (4.6× improvement, 57% of q8_0) prompt: 67.3 → 162.6 tok/s Confirms pre-rotate-queries would deliver ~49 tok/s. Remaining gap (49 vs 85) is block size + QJL overhead. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Speed ceiling confirmed: stripping rotation from dequant gives 49.1 tok/s (vs 10.7 with rotation, vs 85.5 q8_0 baseline). Implementation plan: store rotation matrix in KV cache, apply to Q in graph builder, strip from Metal dequant. 6 files to modify. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…org#23 Instead of inverse-rotating every K during dequant, rotate Q once before attention. Math: <q, R^T*c[idx]> = <R*q, c[idx]>. Changes: - Store rotation matrix (R^T) in KV cache, filled after buffer clear - Apply ggml_mul_mat(R_T, q) in build_attn_mha after permute - Strip turbo_rotate_inverse from Metal dequant - Dynamic cast to access rotation from mctx Results: - MoE gen: 10.7 → 51.4 tok/s (4.8× speedup) - MoE prompt: 67.3 → 160.3 tok/s (2.4× speedup) - Now at 60% of q8_0 speed with 4.9× compression - Model produces coherent output Codex review: fixed buffer clear ordering (was zeroing rotation after init). Verified: rotation point is correct (after 4d reshape + permute, ne[0]=128). Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…gml-org#23 Full investigation log documenting every test, every dead end, and every breakthrough. 21× total improvement from CPU fallback to pre-rotate-queries. Key lessons: no #include in Metal, no-op testing, pre-rotate-queries, buffer clear ordering, codex+roast catch real bugs.

Validated on real Qwen3 KV tensors: cosine sim 0.9508 → 0.9831 (+3.2%) MSE-only better on 99.3% of vectors including p1 tails. 3-bit index split: lower 2 bits in qs[], upper 1 bit in signs[]. No QJL stage in quantize or dequant. Results: - MoE gen: 51.4 → 62.2 tok/s (73% of q8_0, was 60%) - MoE prompt: 160 → 200 tok/s (90% of q8_0) - Qwopus gen: 14.6 → 15.5 tok/s (88% of q8_0, was 83%) - Qwopus prompt: 67 → 83 tok/s (100% of q8_0!)

Speed ceiling without Q rotation: 61.3 tok/s (vs 62.2 with it). The 128×128 ggml_mul_mat adds <1% overhead on Metal. Remaining gap is structural (block size + dequant complexity). Final: MoE 62.2 tok/s (73%), Qwopus 15.5 tok/s (88%). Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Diagnostic benchmark proves the 26% gap is entirely from block size 128. q4_0 (block 32, 4-bit quantization) runs at 84.2 tok/s = identical to q8_0. Next: turbo3 with block size 32. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Changed QK_TURBO3 from 128 to 32 (storage block size). Rotation still operates on 128-element groups (QK_TURBO3_GROUP=128). SET_ROWS kernel processes 4 blocks per rotation group. Flash attention nl_k changed from 32 to 8 (matching q4_0). Block struct: 14 bytes per 32 values = 3.5 bits/val → 4.6× compression. Results: - MoE gen: 62.2 → 77.7 tok/s (91% of q8_0 at 85.5) - MoE prompt: 200 → 218.5 tok/s (98% of q8_0) - Qwopus gen: 15.5 → 17.0 tok/s (97% of q8_0 at 17.6) - Qwopus prompt: 83 → 89.5 tok/s (108% of q8_0 — FASTER) Target was 75+ tok/s. Exceeded. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Codex post-commit review found: 1. TURBO_D was QK_TURBO3 (now 32) — broke turbo4 C array sizes 2. SET_ROWS kernel turbo3-specific but instantiated for turbo4 3.

…l-org#30 Perplexity benchmarking reveals catastrophic quality failure: - f16: 6.121, q8_0: 6.111, q4_0: 6.142 - turbo3: 165.6 (27× worse) Speed benchmarks were meaningless — fast garbage.

1. V cache returns rotated-space values (cosine=0.02 vs correct 0.987) 2. dynamic_cast to llama_kv_cache_context fails for MoE models (uses llama_memory_hybrid_context, not kv_cache_context) → Q rotation and V inverse rotation NEVER executed Fix: store rotation tensors in llm_graph_context, not KV cache. Or access through hybrid memory interface. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…gml-org#31 Block 128: PPL=165.6 (same as block 32) Disabled Q rotation: PPL=165.6 (same) Root cause: dynamic_cast fails for MoE hybrid memory context. Q rotation and V inverse rotation never execute. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
…ml-org#31 ggml-org#30 ROOT CAUSE: pre-rotate-queries never executed because: 1. Q ne[0]=256 (GQA concatenated heads), rotation matrix ne[0]=128 2. mctx dynamic_cast failed for MoE hybrid memory FIX: put inverse WHT rotation back in dequantize_full_block. This is slower (10.7 tok/s vs 77.7) but produces CORRECT results. PERPLEXITY RESULTS: - f16: 6.121 - q8_0: 6.111 - q4_0: 6.142 - turbo3: 6.194 (+1.2% vs q8_0) ✅ The speed optimization (pre-rotate-queries) needs to be reimplemented to work with GQA head layout and hybrid memory types.

Quality confirmed: PPL 6.194 (+1.4% of q8_0) Speed: 10.7 tok/s (inverse rotation in dequant, no pre-rotate-queries) Previous speed claims (51-77 tok/s) were invalid — measured garbage output speed. Key lessons documented for future reference. Co-Authored-By: [email protected] Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]>
Prefill speed: 739 → 1074 tok/s (0.40x q8_0, was 0.27x) Quality: PPL 6.195 (unchanged from 6.194 baseline, +1.4% of q8_0) Metal shader changes: - turbo3_dequantize_full_block: WHT butterfly now runs in fp16 (half) Centroids fit in fp16 (max |val| = 0.19), butterfly add/sub stays in range. 2x throughput on Apple Silicon Metal fp16 ALUs. - dequantize_turbo3_0_t4: cooperative SIMD dequant for flash_attn_ext_vec All 32 SIMD lanes work on same block — each unpacks only its 4 elements, WHT butterfly runs across lanes via simd_shuffle. Eliminates 31/32 redundant full-block dequants. Graph changes: - Removed broken pre-rotate-queries code (WHT and RoPE don't commute — KV stores WHT(RoPE(K)) but graph rotation gave RoPE(WHT(Q))) - Added TODO comments documenting the root cause and fix path KV cache changes: - Fixed rotation matrix storage comments (R vs R^T after ggml layout analysis) - Fixed clear(true) zeroing rotation tensors without reinit (Codex catch) - Corrected ggml_backend_tensor_set to store R/R^T in correct orientation Docs: - quality-benchmarks.md: top-of-tree quality+speed table - turbo-speed-investigation.md: fp16 WHT results, RoPE/WHT commutativity - pre-rotate-queries-investigation.md: full debugging log (20+ builds) - turbo-quality-gate.sh: pre-push perplexity check script Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]

Prefill: 1411 tok/s (0.52x q8_0, was 0.40x) PPL: 6.195 (unchanged, within 0.001 of baseline) Metal shader: turbo3_dequantize_full_block - WHT butterfly now uses 32 x half4 vectors instead of 128 x half scalars Stage h=1,2: intra-vector swizzle (half4 constructor reorder) Stage h=4..64: inter-vector butterfly with computed stride - Centroid lookup processes natural byte boundaries (4 elements per qs byte) - Sign application and norm scaling use vectorized half4/float4 Codex review: no correctness bugs. Butterfly pairing, centroid unpacking, and sign application all verified correct. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]
Pre-computed turbo_wht_signs1_h4[32] and turbo_wht_signs2_h4[32] as constant half4 arrays. Eliminates per-element float→half conversion and reduces constant memory reads from 4 per half4 to 1. Marginal improvement (~1%) — Metal compiler already optimized the constant reads. But cleaner code and consistent with the half4 WHT. PPL: 6.195 (unchanged) Codex: no issues (included in Exp1 review scope) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]
THE BIG WIN: moved WHT rotation from per-block dequant to graph-level ggml_mul_mat ops. 47% speedup over previous best. Prefill: 2095 tok/s (0.78x q8_0, was 1424 = 0.53x) PPL: 6.201 (within 0.01 of 6.195 baseline) Compression: 4.9x (unchanged) Key insight: applying WHT in build_attn (after RoPE, before build_attn_mha) matches the K quantize pipeline exactly. K stores WHT(RoPE(K)) from SET_ROWS, Q becomes WHT(RoPE(Q)) from graph mul_mat. Dot products preserved. Changes: - llama-graph.cpp: Q forward rotation (R @ q) and V un-rotation (R^T @ cur) in the llm_graph_input_attn_kv build_attn overload - ggml-metal.metal: stripped WHT from turbo3_dequantize_full_block (returns centroid * norm in rotated space, graph handles un-rotation) Codex review: pipeline point correct, reshape dims correct, lifecycle OK. Noted: only covers one build_attn overload (sufficient for Qwen3MoE). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]
THE BREAKTHROUGH: block-32 with graph-side WHT rotation reaches q8_0 parity. Prefill: 2747 tok/s (1.02x q8_0, was 0.78x with block-128) PPL: 5.460 (32-chunk) / 6.193 (8-chunk) — within noise of baseline Compression: 4.6x (slightly less than 4.9x due to per-block norm overhead) Changes: - QK_TURBO3: 128 → 32 (matches q4_0 block size for GPU parallelism) - dequantize_turbo3_0: simple centroid lookup + norm scale (no WHT, no full-block) - dequantize_turbo3_0_t4: same simple path (no SIMD shuffle needed) - Flash attention nl: 8→2 (non-vec), 32→8 (vec) matching new block size Why this works: with graph-side WHT rotation, dequant no longer needs the 128-element WHT butterfly. Each 32-element block can be decoded independently. Smaller blocks = more GPU parallelism = faster flash attention.

Added TURBO_LAYER_ADAPTIVE env var for per-layer cache type selection: 0 = uniform (default) 1 = q8_0 for first+last 4 layers, turbo3 for middle 32 2 = q8_0 for last 8 layers, turbo3 for first 32 Results (Qwen3.5-35B-A3B, 8 chunks): uniform turbo3: PPL = 6.193 (+1.3% vs q8_0) mode 1: PPL = 6.185 (+1.2% vs q8_0) mode 2: PPL = 6.110 (+0.0% vs q8_0!!!) Mode 2 achieves q8_0 quality (PPL 6.110 vs 6.111) while compressing 32 of 40 layers at turbo3 (4.6x). Only the last 8 layers use q8_0. Effective compression: ~3.5x overall vs 2.0x uniform q8_0.

…n data Part of ggml-org#32: turbo3 prefill degrades relative to q8_0 with context length. Changes so far: - Skip ggml_cont when tensors already contiguous (+1%, minimal) - Generated 32x32 rotation matrices (turbo-rotation-data-32.h) for reduced group size approach (16x less matmul compute) - Fixed V un-rotation to check v->type not k->type Next: update QK_TURBO3_GROUP, Metal WHT kernel, and KV cache for d=32.

Reducing WHT rotation group from 128 to 32 elements degrades quality. Python kurtosis test showed 3.06 (good) on random data, but real Qwen3.5 KV tensors need 128-element groups for proper Gaussianization. Group-32 also didn't help speed — actually slower at all context sizes. This approach is a dead end. Next: custom GGML_OP_TURBO_WHT for O(d log d) rotation without dense matmul. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]
Adds a new ggml operation for applying WHT rotation to 128-element groups. Replaces the previous dense ggml_mul_mat(128x128, ...) approach. Implementation: - ggml.h: new op enum + ggml_turbo_wht(tensor, direction) API - ggml.c: constructor with direction param in op_params - ggml-cpu/ops.cpp: CPU impl (fp32 butterfly, parallel over groups) - ggml-metal.metal: Metal kernel (fp16 half4 vectorized butterfly) - ggml-metal-device: pipeline getter, supports_op - ggml-metal-ops: dispatch with threadgroup-per-group layout - llama-graph.cpp: uses ggml_turbo_wht instead of mul_mat+reshape Results: - PPL: 6.211 (within tolerance of 6.19 baseline) - Context scaling: same as dense matmul (~8% gap at 4k vs q8_0) - The matmul was NOT the bottleneck — dequant per KV position is The custom op is still valuable: eliminates rotation tensor storage, cleaner graph (no reshape/cont), and correct O(d log d) complexity. The context scaling regression comes from flash attention dequant cost, not the graph rotation. Codex review: fixed missing OP_NAME table entry. Noted CPU fp32 vs Metal fp16 precision difference (acceptable, Metal is the target). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <[email protected]> Co-Authored-By: [email protected]
Unrolled dequant with batched byte reads. Each 4-element group reads qs and signs bytes ONCE instead of per-element. Codex-verified bit indexing. Context scaling results: ctx=1024: 0.981x q8_0 (was 0.976x) ctx=2048: 0.989x q8_0 (was 0.960x) ctx=4096: 0.981x q8_0 (was 0.921x) The ratio now stays FLAT at ~98% vs q8_0 across all context sizes.

Codex post-commit review found: 1. TURBO_D was QK_TURBO3 (now 32) — broke turbo4 C array sizes 2. SET_ROWS kernel turbo3-specific but instantiated for turbo4 3. Tail block drop for non-128 head dims Fixed TheTom#3 (TURBO_D). TheTom#1 and TheTom#2 don't affect turbo3+dk128 path.

Complete experiment log: #1 4-mag LUT: 15.1 at 8K (BEST, +38%) #2 Batched extract: 13.7 (+25%) #3 Inline FA block: 13.5 (I-cache pressure) #4 Deferred norm: 12.9 (loses ILP) #5 2-pair half2: 12.0 (ternary overhead) #6 Select chain: 11.9 (branches kill) ggml-org#7 Bit-arithmetic: 11.6 (ALU too heavy) ggml-org#8 FMA branchless: 11.4 (ALU still too heavy) ggml-org#9 Named-reg ternary: 10.3 (branches worst) ggml-org#10 Main (8-LUT): 10.95 (baseline) ggml-org#11 Non-vec FA: 10.2 (wrong kernel) Ceiling: 24.5 (no dequant) Apple8 hardware truth: 1 divergent constant read < 7 ALU ops (even with fma) Branches cost MORE than divergent constant reads Array indexing ALWAYS spills on Metal 4 constant addresses is the sweet spot The 4-mag LUT is the dequant-level ceiling on Apple Silicon.
