Description

Modern hf-like checkpoints include default sampling parameters (repetition_penalty, temperature, top_p, top_k, and min_p) in generation_config.json, but TensorRT-LLM does not load them as defaults, unlike vLLM and SGLang.
This PR adds support for loading these parameters.

Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--stage-list "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the specified test stages. Examples: "A10-PyTorch-1, xxx". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--gpu-type "A30, H100_PCIe" (OPTIONAL) : Only run the test stages on the specified GPU types. Examples: "A30, H100_PCIe". Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--test-backend "pytorch, cpp" (OPTIONAL) : Skip test stages which don't match the specified backends. Only support [pytorch, cpp, tensorrt, triton]. Examples: "pytorch, cpp" (does not run test stages with tensorrt or triton backend). Note: Does NOT update GitHub pipeline status.

--only-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Only run the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--disable-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Disable the multi-GPU tests. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--add-multi-gpu-test (OPTIONAL) : Force run the multi-GPU tests in addition to running L0 pre-merge pipeline.

--extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx" (OPTIONAL) : Run the ordinary L0 pre-merge pipeline and specified test stages. Examples: --extra-stage "H100_PCIe-TensorRT-Post-Merge-1, xxx".

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes introduce a default sampling parameters mechanism and update the OpenAI protocol layer to support optional sampling configuration fields. A new constant defines defaults for repetition_penalty, temperature, top_p, top_k, and min_p, which are loaded during SamplingParams initialization with fallback support. API request models now accept these parameters as Optional fields instead of required numeric defaults.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Default Sampling Parameters
tensorrt_llm/sampling_params.py
Adds DEFAULT_SAMPLING_PARAMS module constant with default values. Modifies SamplingParams._setup() to load defaults by checking each attribute against generation_config or falling back to the constant value.
OpenAI Protocol API Signatures
tensorrt_llm/serve/openai_protocol.py
Changes sampling parameter fields in CompletionRequest and ChatCompletionRequest from required numeric types to Optional types with None defaults: top_k, min_p, repetition_penalty. Updates to_sampling_params() methods to pass temperature and top_p as-is instead of providing fallback defaults.

123-202: Update docstring to document default parameter loading behavior.

The class docstring should mention that default values for repetition_penalty, temperature, top_p, top_k, and min_p can be loaded from the model's generation_config.json when not explicitly set by the user.

📝 Suggested docstring addition

Add the following to the class docstring after the existing parameter descriptions:

         spaces_between_special_tokens (bool): Whether to add spaces between special tokens in the output. Defaults to True.
+
+    Note:
+        If not explicitly set, the following parameters will be loaded from the model's generation_config.json:
+        repetition_penalty, temperature, top_p, top_k, and min_p. If unavailable in generation_config,
+        they default to the values defined in DEFAULT_SAMPLING_PARAMS.

256-257: LGTM! Sampling parameters now support optional values.

These fields are correctly changed to Optional with None defaults, allowing the system to load default values from generation_config.json in SamplingParams._setup rather than hardcoding them at the protocol layer. This aligns with the PR objective to match behavior with vLLM and SGLang.

Also applies to: 264-264, 266-267


312-313: LGTM! Parameters correctly passed without fallback logic.

The temperature and top_p parameters are now passed as-is (potentially None) to SamplingParams, where defaults will be applied in the _setup method. This correctly implements the new default-loading mechanism.


554-555: LGTM! Consistent with CompletionRequest changes.

These ChatCompletionRequest fields mirror the changes in CompletionRequest, ensuring consistent behavior across both API endpoints for loading default sampling parameters.

Also applies to: 573-573, 575-576


659-659: LGTM! Consistent parameter passing.

Parameters are correctly passed without fallback logic, consistent with the CompletionRequest.to_sampling_params implementation.

Also applies to: 666-666

tensorrt_llm/sampling_params.py (1)

112-118: LGTM! Well-defined default sampling parameters.

The constant follows naming conventions and provides sensible defaults that represent "no filtering" states for sampling parameters. These values align with standard practice in LLM inference (e.g., top_k=0 meaning "all logits" per the docstring at line 153).
