我觉得KT的版本更新策略有点太激进了,
0.3版本更新了AMX支持,后面适配了新模型后前缀缓存功能就丢了,
0.4版本合入了sglang,可用性强了很多,但是丢了gguf等量化能力的支持,
0.5版本加入原生fp8支持,性能提升很大,但又丢了AMX支持,
每个大版本都像是一个新产品,用户每次跟随升级都要考虑新特性和老特性之间的取舍,这个是不合理的。
对于会破坏现有特性的新特性,或许可以用preview版本来发布,这个版本就只用来预览这个新特性,新特性无关的功能则继续在正式版本上迭代,直到能平稳合入正式版本为止。像kt的2.x版本,预览一个amx版本,然后在最后合入正式版本,我觉得是合理的

@CodeZ-Hao 丢 gguf 当时是有 bug 迁移没完成,后面加上了,0.5 支持原生 fp8 的时候出现了原来 amx 的小 bug,所以最开始没能支持,但是大概下周就能上线全部支持的版本。后续的更新应该就不会那么多 bug 了,因为变动不会太大,并且引入完整的 CI 测试,我们确实也在注意每次更新带来的 bug,感谢反馈!

赶紧支持一下稠密层平均分配至多个GPU吧,拖鞋军块等死了,只有这样才在便宜卡上能支持可用长度的上下文,谢了!!

Are there any plans to support domestic GPUs, such as the MetaX C500 or Moore Threads S5000?
I couldn't find any tutorials. Also, these GPUs require specialized docker images and vLLM plugins provided by the vendor. so I assume they are not supported at the moment, right?

Models with Multi-Token Prediction (MTP) heads are becoming increasingly common now. So, it would be great if MTP support for Speculative Decoding could be implemented soon to improve throughput. Thanks!
