# MiniMax-M3-VL

## Overview

MiniMax-M3-VL is the vision-language member of the MiniMax-M3 family. It pairs a CLIP-style vision tower (Conv3d patch embedding with 3D rotary position embeddings) with the MiniMax-M3 text backbone, a mixed dense/sparse Mixture-of-Experts decoder that uses SwiGLU-OAI gated experts and a lightning indexer for block-sparse attention.

## Architecture
### Block-sparse attention (Lightning Indexer)

Every layer is GQA (`num_key_value_heads = 4`) with per-head QK-norm and **partial RoPE** on the first
`rotary_dim`. `config.layer_types[i]` then picks `"full_attention"` (dense causal) or
`"minimax_m3_sparse"`, where a `MiniMaxM3VLIndexer` decides, per query, which block of keys the main attention may see.

The indexer scores every key, then **max-poolsthose per-key scores into blocks of `index_block_size` keys**, so selection happens at the granularity of a *block
of keys*: per query it keeps the top-`index_topk_blocks` key blocks plus the always-on `index_local_blocks`
local-window block (under block-level causality), broadcasts the per-block `0`/`-inf` choice back onto every key in
the block. The result is a `[B, 1, S_q, S_k]` additive bias summed onto the causal mask. 
Theoretically this means that the attention is only computed over the selected blocks of keys, but `transformers` does not support the kernels that compute this efficiently! 
We are adding it to `kernels` asap!

### Vision tower

A [MiniMaxM3VLVisionModel](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/model_doc/minimax_m3_vl#transformers.MiniMaxM3VLVisionModel): a `Conv3d` patch embedding over flattened `[N_patches, C·T·P·P]` input, a stack of
CLIP-style encoder layers carrying a **3D rotary** position embedding (time / height / width bands). A `MiniMaxM3VLPatchMerger` groups
`spatial_merge_size²` patches into the channel dim before the 2-layer GELU `MiniMaxM3VLMultiModalProjector` maps vision features into the text hidden size.

## Usage examples

The example below runs the model on a real image loaded with `load_image()`.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor
from transformers.image_utils import load_image

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3-preview", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3-preview")

image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/bee.jpg")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "Describe this image briefly."},
        ],
    }
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
inputs = processor(images=[image], text=text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=32, do_sample=False)
print(processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
```

### Apple example

This example asks the model about an image of apples, again loading a real image with
`load_image()`.

```python
import torch
from transformers import AutoModelForImageTextToText, AutoProcessor
from transformers.image_utils import load_image

model = AutoModelForImageTextToText.from_pretrained(
    "MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3-preview", dtype=torch.bfloat16, device_map="auto",
)
processor = AutoProcessor.from_pretrained("MiniMaxAI/MiniMax-M3-preview")

image = load_image("https://huggingface.co/datasets/huggingface/documentation-images/resolve/main/bee.jpg")
messages = [
    {
        "role": "user",
        "content": [
            {"type": "image"},
            {"type": "text", "text": "How many apples are in this image, and what color are they?"},
        ],
    }
]
text = processor.apply_chat_template(messages, add_generation_prompt=True, tokenize=False)
inputs = processor(images=[image], text=text, return_tensors="pt").to(model.device)

generated_ids = model.generate(**inputs, max_new_tokens=32, do_sample=False)
print(processor.batch_decode(generated_ids, skip_special_tokens=True)[0])
```

## Fastest inference configuration

| ctx | SDPA decode | MSA decode | MSA decode adv. | SDPA prefill | MSA prefill | MSA prefill adv. |
| --: | ----------: | ---------: | --------------: | -----------: | ----------: | ---------------: |
|  2K |  27.8 tok/s |       31.0 |            +12% |       303 ms |      257 ms |            1.18× |
|  4K |  23.4 tok/s |       30.5 |            +30% |       684 ms |      460 ms |            1.49× |
|  8K |  17.8 tok/s |       29.6 |            +66% |      1906 ms |      976 ms |            1.95× |

The checkpoint ships in native MXFP8. For **decode throughput**, the fastest validated configuration is
**bf16 (dequantized at load) + the MSA block-sparse attention kernel + tensor & expert parallelism + a
`reduce-overhead` cudagraph compile** — roughly **31 tok/s** decode on 8×B200 at a 2048-token prefill.

Keeping the weights in **native FP8 is a memory-footprint option only — it is never faster on this setup**.
The FP8 Triton experts/linear kernels lower as opaque inductor fallback kernels that cudagraph cannot
capture on the hot expert path, so native-FP8 decode measured ~4.2 tok/s (≈7× slower than the bf16 path)
even under `torch.compile(fullgraph=True)`. Use FP8 only when the bf16 weights do not fit.

| config (sdpa baseline, TP+EP, 2048-token prefill, 8×B200) | decode |
|---|---|
| bf16 dequantize-at-load + **MSA** + compile/cudagraph | **~31 tok/s** |
| bf16 dequantize-at-load + sdpa + compile/cudagraph | ~28 tok/s |
| native FP8 + compile/cudagraph | ~4 tok/s (memory-only, not for speed) |

Dequantizing to bf16 only fits with even sharding across GPUs (TP/EP), not with `device_map="auto"`
(pipeline placement OOMs at load). Launch one process per GPU with `torchrun`:

```bash
torchrun --nproc_per_node=8 fastest_m3_vl.py

messages = [{"role": "user", "content": "Summarize the history of computing."}]
inputs = tokenizer.apply_chat_template(
    messages, add_generation_prompt=True, return_tensors="pt", return_dict=True
).to(f"cuda:{os.environ.get('LOCAL_RANK', '0')}")

generated_ids = model.generate(
    **inputs,
    max_new_tokens=128,
    do_sample=False,
    # Static cache + reduce-overhead cudagraph capture is what pushes decode to ~31 tok/s.

if int(os.environ.get("RANK", "0")) == 0:
    print(tokenizer.decode(generated_ids[0, inputs["input_ids"].shape[1]:], skip_special_tokens=True))

# cudagraph-captured NCCL collectives deadlock the NCCL/CUDA destructors at teardown; the output is

## MiniMaxM3VLImageProcessor[[transformers.MiniMaxM3VLImageProcessor]]

This is a standalone (non-modular) image processor: it shares the patch-flattening idea of [Qwen2VLImageProcessor](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/model_doc/qwen2_vl#transformers.Qwen2VLImageProcessor)
but does not inherit from it because the two diverge in ways that touch most of the class. The resize budget is driven by
a `max_pixels` attribute and a `{"height", "width"}` `size` rather than Qwen's `shortest_edge`/`longest_edge` scheme; the
`smart_resize` helper clamps the initial rounding with `max(factor, ...)`; and `_preprocess` performs real temporal
handling (5D patches, last-frame repeat to fill `temporal_patch_size`, and a `grid_t` dimension) instead of Qwen's
`grid_t = 1` + expand. Mapping to or subclassing Qwen would therefore change behavior or require overriding nearly
everything, so the processor is kept on its own.

  If no `past_key_values` are passed, [DynamicCache](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.DynamicCache) will be initialized by default.

  The model will output the same cache format that is fed as input.

  If `past_key_values` are used, the user is expected to input only unprocessed `input_ids` (those that don't
  have their past key value states given to this model) of shape `(batch_size, unprocessed_length)` instead of all `input_ids`
  of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`.
- **inputs_embeds** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`, *optional*) --
  Optionally, instead of passing `input_ids` you can choose to directly pass an embedded representation. This
  is useful if you want more control over how to convert `input_ids` indices into associated vectors than the
  model's internal embedding lookup matrix.
- **labels** (`torch.LongTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length)`, *optional*) --
  Labels for computing the masked language modeling loss. Indices should either be in `[0, ...,
  config.vocab_size]` or -100 (see `input_ids` docstring). Tokens with indices set to `-100` are ignored
  (masked), the loss is only computed for the tokens with labels in `[0, ..., config.vocab_size]`.
- **use_cache** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  If set to `True`, `past_key_values` key value states are returned and can be used to speed up decoding (see
  `past_key_values`).
- **output_router_logits** (`bool`, *optional*) --
  Whether or not to return the logits of all the routers. They are useful for computing the router loss, and
  should not be returned during inference.
- **logits_to_keep** (`Union[int, torch.Tensor]`, *optional*, defaults to `0`) --
  If an `int`, compute logits for the last `logits_to_keep` tokens. If `0`, calculate logits for all
  `input_ids` (special case). Only last token logits are needed for generation, and calculating them only for that
  token can save memory, which becomes pretty significant for long sequences or large vocabulary size.
  If a `torch.Tensor`, must be 1D corresponding to the indices to keep in the sequence length dimension.
  This is useful when using packed tensor format (single dimension for batch and sequence length).0`MoeCausalLMOutputWithPast` or `tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`A `MoeCausalLMOutputWithPast` or a tuple of
`torch.FloatTensor` (if `return_dict=False` is passed or when `config.return_dict=False`) comprising various
elements depending on the configuration ([MiniMaxM3VLConfig](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/model_doc/minimax_m3_vl#transformers.MiniMaxM3VLConfig)) and inputs.
The [MiniMaxM3VLForCausalLM](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/model_doc/minimax_m3_vl#transformers.MiniMaxM3VLForCausalLM) forward method, overrides the `__call__` special method.

Although the recipe for forward pass needs to be defined within this function, one should call the `Module`
instance afterwards instead of this since the former takes care of running the pre and post processing steps while
the latter silently ignores them.

- **loss** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(1,)`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- Language modeling loss (for next-token prediction).
- **logits** (`torch.FloatTensor` of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, config.vocab_size)`) -- Prediction scores of the language modeling head (scores for each vocabulary token before SoftMax).
- **aux_loss** (`torch.FloatTensor`, *optional*, returned when `labels` is provided) -- aux_loss for the sparse modules.
- **router_logits** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_router_probs=True` and `config.add_router_probs=True` is passed or when `config.output_router_probs=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, num_experts)`.

  Raw router logtis (post-softmax) that are computed by MoE routers, these terms are used to compute the auxiliary
  loss for Mixture of Experts models.
- **past_key_values** (`Cache`, *optional*, returned when `use_cache=True` is passed or when `config.use_cache=True`) -- It is a [Cache](/docs/transformers/v5.12.0/en/internal/generation_utils#transformers.Cache) instance. For more details, see our [kv cache guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/kv_cache).

  Contains pre-computed hidden-states (key and values in the self-attention blocks) that can be used (see
  `past_key_values` input) to speed up sequential decoding.
- **hidden_states** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_hidden_states=True` is passed or when `config.output_hidden_states=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for the output of the embeddings, if the model has an embedding layer, +
  one for the output of each layer) of shape `(batch_size, sequence_length, hidden_size)`.

  Hidden-states of the model at the output of each layer plus the optional initial embedding outputs.
- **attentions** (`tuple(torch.FloatTensor)`, *optional*, returned when `output_attentions=True` is passed or when `config.output_attentions=True`) -- Tuple of `torch.FloatTensor` (one for each layer) of shape `(batch_size, num_heads, sequence_length,
  sequence_length)`.

  Attentions weights after the attention softmax, used to compute the weighted average in the self-attention
  heads.

Example:

```python
>>> from transformers import AutoTokenizer, MiniMaxM3VLForCausalLM

>>> model = MiniMaxM3VLForCausalLM.from_pretrained("mistralai/MiniMaxM3VL-8x7B-v0.1")
>>> tokenizer = AutoTokenizer.from_pretrained("mistralai/MiniMaxM3VL-8x7B-v0.1")

"Hey, are you conscious? Can you talk to me?\nI'm not conscious, but I can talk to you."
```

library implements for all its model (such as downloading or saving, resizing the input embeddings, pruning heads
etc.)

This model is also a PyTorch [torch.nn.Module](https://pytorch.org/docs/stable/nn.html#torch.nn.Module) subclass.
Use it as a regular PyTorch Module and refer to the PyTorch documentation for all matter related to general usage
and behavior.
