# CURRENT_BUG.md
## Status: CSA/HCA kernel works. Need vLLM integration.
### What We Know
- **CuTeDSL NVFP4 kernels**: All pass (cosine 0.988-0.999 vs BF16)
- **Warmup gs**: Irrelevant (runner recomputes per-call)
- **CSA attention kernel** (`cutedsl/csa_attention.py`): Works with PyTorch SDPA
- **Full layer 0 forward**: CuTeDSL + SDPA = cosine 0.988 vs BF16 ✅
- **Logits**: std=2.98, reasonable top-5 tokens ✅
### Root Cause of vLLM Empty Output
vLLM uses two compiled CUDA kernels that DON'T work on Blackwell (SM100):
1. `torch.ops._C.fused_deepseek_v4_qnorm_rope_kv_rope_quant_insert` — fused RoPE + KV cache
2. `FlashMLA sparse attention` — the actual attention computation
The model uses **CSA (Compressed Sparse Attention) + HCA (Heavily Compressed Attention)**, NOT MLA.
vLLM misnames it "MLA" in code but the architecture is CSA/HCA with mHC.
### Integration Plan
Replace vLLM's broken CUDA kernels in `DeepseekV4MLAAttention.forward`:
1. Replace `fused_deepseek_v4_qnorm_rope_kv_rope_quant_insert` → pure PyTorch RoPE + FP8 quant + cache insert
2. Replace FlashMLA → our CSA/HCA kernel using PyTorch SDPA
3. Keep the compressor (it's mostly Triton which may work on SM100)
4. Keep the indexer (it calls into sparse_attn_indexer which is also Triton)
### Test Results
```
test_full_layer_b200.py:
q_a_proj: 0.995 ✅ kv_proj: 0.995 ✅ q_b_proj: 0.995 ✅
wo_b_proj: 0.995 ✅ comp.kv_proj: 0.994 ✅ comp.gate: 0.995 ✅
shared_expert: 0.990 ✅
test_model_forward_b200.py:
Warmup gs is IRRELEVANT (10x change → cosine 0.9993)
CuTeDSL cosine vs BF16: 0.999
test_csa_attention_b200.py:
Full path CuTeDSL + SDPA vs BF16: 0.988 ✅
Logit std: 2.98 ✅
