feat(gemma): build one dual-profile plan when a split pair cannot fit, and qualify gemma-3-27b - #1405

Conversation
…, and qualify gemma-3-27b At tp=1 the family always built a split pair: a prefill engine plus a decode engine with a static Sq=1 graph. That stores the weights twice. gemma-3-27b at bf16 needs about 53 GiB per engine, so the pair failed to deserialize on an 80 GiB H100. Fall back to a single dual-profile plan once one engine would exceed 28 GiB. Every qualified Gemma stays on the split pair and keeps its decode throughput.

Use a model-specific exclusion reason for gemma-3-27b.
The gemma-3-27b build exceeds the split-engine budget and emits one dual_profile plan. The gemma-2-2b release workload uses the qualified split layout. These layouts use different artifacts and runtime loading paths. The shared reason therefore makes a false equivalence claim. State that no matching dual-profile workload or receipt has been collected for gemma-3-27b.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Avoid allocating model-sized arrays in this unit test.
_weights requests a float32 array for every synthetic parameter count. The 27B case requests more than 100 GiB before _decoder_engine_bytes reads only size, so memory-limited CI can fail before the assertion. Use a small size-only test double instead.

Background
At
tensor_parallel_size: 1the Gemma family always emitted a split pair — a prefill enginewith a dynamic sequence axis plus a decode engine with a static
Sq=1graph. The pair storesthe weights twice.
google/gemma-3-27b-itat bf16 needs about 53 GiB per engine, so the pair cannot be loaded onan 80 GiB device. The build succeeded and the runtime then failed while deserializing:
Host memory was not the constraint at that moment (130 G used of 1 TB). One engine fits in
79.6 GiB; two do not.
The duplication is not waste, so this does not remove the split layout. Measured with
apps/benchmark, which excludes engine load by default(
MeasurementSpec.asset_loading_included),dual_profilecostsoutput_tokens_per_s:So the pair is worth keeping wherever it fits, and the family should only stop paying for it
when the alternative is a bundle that cannot load.
Exit Criteria
gemma-3-27bbuilds and passes reference parity on one 80 GiB GPU at tp=1. Every alreadyqualified Gemma keeps the split layout and its throughput. No change to the tp>1 path.
Implementation
families/gemma/model.pyestimates one decoder engine from the loaded weights and the buildprecision, and falls back to a single
dual_profileplan when that exceeds 28 GiB. No runtimechange was needed:
families/gemma/runtime/plugin.cpp:189-191already selectsengine.planfor
dual_profileat tp=1, andfamilies/llamaalready ships that layout at tp=1.The threshold is a judgement call, so it is stated with the numbers behind it. Measured by the
estimator: gemma-3-4b 8.9 GiB, gemma-3-12b 25.0 GiB, gemma-3-27b 55.6 GiB. 28 GiB keeps every
qualified width on split and leaves about 30 GiB of an 80 GiB device for KV cache and
activations at the limit. Erring low is safe and erring high is not: an unnecessary fallback
costs about 6% of decode, while staying on split when the pair does not fit cannot load at all.
The estimator was checked against two measured points rather than trusted: gemma-3-4b's engines
are 8.5 GiB each and it returns 8.9 GiB; TensorRT asked 52.9 GiB for gemma-3-27b and it returns
55.6 GiB. It is consistently about 5% high, which is the safe direction.

memory and the bundle needs 53 GiB of disk. Checkpoints are the
unslothmirrors, because theGoogle repos are gated and this environment has no HF token.
Not Run / Remaining Gaps
The official gated checkpoint, which only the internal run can exercise. No benchmark receipt
for 27b, hence the
excluded_profilesentry. The threshold is not exercised at its boundary bya real model: the nearest widths are 25.0 and 55.6 GiB, so unit tests cover the boundary
instead.

Notes For Future Readers
29 of the 128 families emit a split pair, and about 49 shipped manifests currently carry two
copies of their weights. The largest of those is glm-4-9b at 17.5 GiB per engine, so none of
them is near the limit — gemma-3-27b is the first model in the tree to hit it. If another
family grows a model this large it will need the same fallback; the measurements above say the
right move is a fallback, not removing split.
Risk level
It changes the emitted artifact for any Gemma above the threshold, which today is only
gemma-3-27b. Every existing width was re-qualified to confirm it still takes the split path and
still matches its reference.
