Description

Cherry-pick of #19784 (merge commit f1a48e6) to release/1.3.

Fixes https://nvbugs/6783973.

examples/kimi_k3/README.md described suffix-automaton (SA) speculative decoding under "Current limitations" even though the bullet states SA is supported for both aggregated and disaggregated serving. #17939 enabled SA under disaggregated serving and rewrote the old "not yet supported" sentence into a support statement, but left it under the limitations heading, so supported functionality read as a limitation.

This change:

  • Moves the SA capability description and enablement instructions into a dedicated "Suffix-automaton speculative decoding" section (after the chunked-prefill/block-reuse section).
  • Keeps only the configuration restrictions under "Current limitations", labeled explicitly as SA restrictions: the default-KV-cache-manager requirement (no block reuse), the evaluated aggregated configuration (overlap scheduler off, chunked prefill off, max_batch_size 8 with matching CUDA-graph max_batch_size), and the disaggregated constraints (eager, max_batch_size <= 8 on the generation server).
  • Updates the --sa eval cross-reference to point at both the new section and the limitations bullet.

Doc-only change. The restriction values were checked against examples/kimi_k3/eval_extra_llm_options_sa.yaml and examples/kimi_k3/disagg/gen_config.yaml, which are identical on release/1.3 and main. The README on release/1.3 was byte-identical to the merge commit's parent, so the cherry-pick applied cleanly with no conflicts.

Test Coverage

Doc-only change (one README). No code paths affected.

PR Checklist

  • Please check this after reviewing the above items as appropriate for this PR.

Dev Engineer Review

The README moves suffix-automaton (SA) instructions into a dedicated section and updates the --sa cross-reference. It retains the KV-cache block-reuse restriction and the documented aggregated and disaggregated configuration limits. This documentation-only change does not alter code or runtime behavior.

QA Engineer Review

No test changes.

Per-File QA Perspective

  • examples/kimi_k3/README.md: Verify that the SA instructions match the supported configurations. The README documents the KV-cache block-reuse restriction, evaluated aggregated settings, disaggregated constraints, and the CUDA-graph status.

Walkthrough

The Kimi K3 README adds suffix-automaton setup guidance for aggregated and disaggregated serving and evaluation. It documents incompatibility with KV-cache block reuse and lists configuration restrictions.

Changes

Suffix-automaton documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Suffix-automaton usage and limits
examples/kimi_k3/README.md
The README directs --sa instructions to a dedicated section. It describes aggregated and disaggregated configurations and lists scheduler, prefill, CUDA graph, and batch-size restrictions. It states that suffix automata are incompatible with KV-cache block reuse.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~5 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to cbf9d

The documentation clarifies that the example disables CUDA graphs without requiring SA to do so. No actionable merge risk remains.

Review comments at @examples/kimi_k3/README.md:
- Around line 248-249: Update the Kimi K3 example description to state that CUDA
graphs are disabled by the example configuration, not restricted by SA; retain
the note that graph-enabled SA is functional but its performance has not been
remeasured. Keep the separate overlap-scheduler and max_batch_size details
unchanged.
- Around line 249-250: Update the `max_batch_size` statement in the Kimi K3
README to present 8 as the generation-server setting used by this example, not
as a fixed upper bound; keep the reference to `gen_config.yaml`.
- Around line 207-212: Update the suffix-automaton serving example in
“Suffix-automaton speculative decoding” to include a positive max_draft_len in
speculative_config, matching the value used by the Kimi K3 evaluation config.
