Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🔴 Critical · up to This change can fail during model loading, execute untrusted model code by default, return incorrect pooled representations for left-padded inputs, omit requested outputs, misclassify context-window failures, and fail on advertised non-CPU paths. These correctness, security, and runtime issues should be fixed before merging. Poem

Inline comments:
In `@crates/prefill-router/pyproject.toml`:
- Around line 8-10: Update the dependency declarations alongside torch and
transformers so the prefill-router environment supports the backend’s
device_map="auto" paths for cuda and mps: add a compatible accelerate dependency
and configure device-specific Torch sources, or explicitly restrict this
environment’s tests to CPU-only execution. Keep the resulting dependency
resolution consistent with the lockfile.
In `@crates/prefill-router/python/transformers_forward.py`:
- Around line 148-156: Update the pooling logic in transformers_forward.py lines
148-156 and apply the same change in tests/reference_transformers_forward.py
lines 142-150: select each batch item’s hidden states using the boolean
attention_mask before computing “last” and “mean” pools, rather than slicing
from index zero; ensure the reference extractor mirrors the production behavior.
- Around line 56-68: Update TransformersForward’s AutoTokenizer and
AutoModelForCausalLM loading options to disable trust_remote_code by default;
only enable it through an explicit allowlist/configuration together with an
immutable model revision, and ensure unpinned model identifiers cannot execute
remote code.
- Around line 64-68: Replace the model-loading keyword dtype with torch_dtype in
both load_kwargs dictionaries:
crates/prefill-router/python/transformers_forward.py lines 64-68 and
crates/prefill-router/tests/reference_transformers_forward.py lines 58-62.
Update both model-loading paths consistently while leaving the remaining
arguments unchanged.
Apply the same fix in `@crates/prefill-router/pyproject.toml` around lines 9 - 10:
The declared Transformers dependency range is the compatibility context for the
loader failure.
In `@crates/prefill-router/src/error.rs`:
- Around line 9-25: Update python_error to detect upstream context-window
exceptions before constructing PrefillRouterError::Python, and map them to
SwitchyardError::ContextWindowExceeded. Preserve generic PyErr values through
the existing PrefillRouterError::Python path and ensure the typed mapping
remains intact across the crate boundary.
In `@crates/prefill-router/src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 106-141: The ForwardOutput::validate method must verify that the
returned hidden states include every requested pooling mode and layer, not
merely validate any present data. Add the request or resolved expected layer set
to validate, reject missing modes or layers, and update the caller in the
transformers forward path to pass that context.

Why is parallelism set to false?

Unless the in-memory hidden states collection with transformers only supports tp/pp=1, we should be fine to set any default. disabling sounds reasonable to me by default
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Tokenizer parallelism here is unrelated to tp/pp, it controls cpu parallelism during tokenization. So unless there’s a specific reason to disable it I don’t think we should explicitly turn it off and potentially limit tokenization performance

If this is a switchyard specific env var can we prefix it with SWITCHYARD_* or something else if there is already some convention? This should also be documented

nit: Referencing from huggingface_hub.constants import HF_HUB_CACHE instead of hardcoding env variable here would be cleaner

Is this a default setting to extract second half layers, or do the semantics actually mean that None means second half? Look a little confusing

We probably don't need to loop over both batch index and layer here. Can you see if this can be vectorized by stacking the selected hidden states and broadcasting the attention mask over the layer/hidden dimensions?
Something like
hidden = torch.stack(
[hidden_states[layer] for layer in layers],
dim=0,
).float() # [L, B, S, D]
mask = attention_mask.bool() # [B, S]
mean = (
(hidden * mask[None, :, :, None]).sum(dim=2)
/ mask.sum(dim=1)[None, :, None]
) # [L, B, D]
last_idx = mask.sum(dim=1) - 1
batch_idx = torch.arange(mask.shape[0], device=mask.device)
last = hidden[:, batch_idx, last_idx, :] # [L, B, D]

What
Add a private
prefill-routercrate that exposes a backend-neutral Rust contract for extracting pooled prefill hidden states.The first backend embeds Hugging Face Transformers through PyO3 and supports:
Why
Prefill routing needs the encoder forward path before checkpoint transforms and routing policy can be implemented. Keeping that path behind
PrefillForwardlets the initial Transformers implementation be replaced by a native backend such as Candle without changing its Rust callers.This MR intentionally does not add PCA, MLP scoring, checkpoint loading, caching, or routing.
How
ForwardOutputwhen every requested layer and pooling mode is present with the expected shape.PrefillExtractordirectly from llm-router commit8a9d3509as a dev-only dependency. The immutable GitHub archive avoids the upstream repository's unavailable Git LFS checkpoint during installation.VIRTUAL_ENVsocargo testcan locate CPython and its site-packages withoutLD_LIBRARY_PATHorPYTHONPATH.Diff size
The raw
+2,324lines break down as:uv.lockand 10 inCargo.lock.The copied 183-line Python oracle has been removed. The parity test now runs the upstream package directly from its pinned commit.
Exactness
The extraction path is derived from NVIDIA AI Blueprints llm-router commit
8a9d3509.The parity test downloads and caches
Qwen/Qwen3.5-0.8B, then runs the Rust-backed implementation and the pinned upstreamPrefillExtractorsequentially with the same:It asserts equality of the complete tensors for every prompt, layer, pooling mode, and hidden dimension. This is not a shape or tolerance-only comparison.
Validation
All passed locally. The ignored exactness test downloads
