Overview:

Summary

Add experimental NVIDIA Dynamo recipes for serving
skt/A.X-K2-NVFP4 with vLLM on NVIDIA B200 GPUs.

The recipes provide aggregated and disaggregated deployments using a custom
runtime image that overlays the A.X K2 vLLM fork onto the Dynamo vLLM runtime.

Details:

  • Add a 750 GiB shared model-cache PVC and model download job.
  • Add an aggregated B200 deployment with:
    • 4 GPUs
    • Tensor Parallelism (TP) 4
    • Expert Parallelism (EP)
    • FlashInfer sparse MLA attention
    • FP8 KV cache
  • Add a disaggregated B200 deployment with:
    • One 4-GPU prefill worker
    • One 4-GPU decode worker
    • NIXL KV-cache transfer over UCX/RDMA
    • KV-aware routing
  • Add a custom vLLM runtime Dockerfile based on the Dynamo vLLM runtime.
  • Overlay the A.X K2 vLLM fork while preserving the base image's compiled CUDA extensions and Dynamo
    integration.
  • Disable Quack FP8 for A.X K2 to avoid a TorchDynamo graph-tracing failure and use the FlashInfer FP8
    fallback.
  • Separate frontend command and args to match Dynamo operator injection behavior.
  • Avoid importing AMD64 CUDA libraries during cross-platform container builds.
  • Add build, deployment, and verification documentation.
  • Register the recipe in recipes/README.md.

Validation

  • Parsed the aggregated and disaggregated manifests as YAML.
  • Passed Kubernetes server-side dry-run validation.
  • Deployed the aggregated recipe on 4 NVIDIA B200 GPUs.
  • Verified the aggregated frontend and worker became Ready with zero restarts.
  • Received HTTP 200 from /v1/chat/completions using A.X-K2-NVFP4.
  • Deployed the disaggregated recipe on 8 NVIDIA B200 GPUs.
  • Verified the frontend, prefill worker, and decode worker became Ready with zero restarts.
  • Received HTTP 200 from the disaggregated /v1/chat/completions endpoint.
  • Confirmed NIXL compatibility across all four tensor-parallel ranks.
  • Confirmed four successful KV transfers from prefill to decode.
  • Ran git diff --check.

Where should the reviewer start?

  1. recipes/a.x-k2/README.md for the supported topology, prerequisites, and deployment flow.
  2. recipes/a.x-k2/container/Dockerfile.axk2.vllm.b200 for the custom vLLM fork integration.
  3. recipes/a.x-k2/vllm/agg-b200/deploy.yaml for the aggregated configuration.
  4. recipes/a.x-k2/vllm/disagg-b200/deploy.yaml for the NIXL-based prefill/decode configuration.

🟡 model-cache PVC omits storage class

The shared-model-cache PVC requests ReadWriteMany but sets no storageClassName, unlike the two sibling recipes that share this PVC name (recipes/nemotron-3-ultra/model-cache/model-cache.yaml, recipes/nemotron-3.5-lightning/model-cache/model-cache.yaml:17). Applying it falls back to the cluster default class, which often cannot provision RWX. The main README.md also tells users to edit a storageClassName field that is absent here.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The PR adds an experimental A.X K2 NVFP4 recipe, a pinned vLLM runtime image, shared model-cache resources, and aggregated and disaggregated Kubernetes deployments for B200 GPUs.

Changes

A.X K2 NVFP4 serving

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pinned vLLM runtime image
recipes/README.md, recipes/a.x-k2/container/*
Adds the recipe entry and builds a Dynamo image with the pinned A.X K2 vLLM fork. The image validates the vLLM package, fork configuration, and compiled extension.
Shared model cache and checkpoint download
recipes/a.x-k2/README.md, recipes/a.x-k2/model-cache/*
Documents prerequisites and checkpoint setup. Adds a 750Gi RWX PVC and a secured Kubernetes Job that downloads the model with Hugging Face authentication.
Aggregated B200 serving
recipes/a.x-k2/vllm/agg-b200/deploy.yaml, recipes/a.x-k2/README.md
Adds a frontend and four-GPU vLLM worker with NVFP4, tensor and expert parallelism, caching, probes, resource settings, and smoke-test instructions.
Disaggregated B200 serving
recipes/a.x-k2/vllm/disagg-b200/deploy.yaml, recipes/a.x-k2/README.md
Adds a KV-routed frontend, prefill worker, and decode worker with RDMA, FlashInfer, FP8 KV caching, Nixl KV transfer, and deployment validation instructions.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 89c55

The PR adds B200 serving recipes, but merge readiness is currently limited by a shared model-cache volume that may remain Pending on clusters whose default storage class does not support ReadWriteMany, blocking deployment, and by missing decode-side KV event publishing that can impair KV-aware routing in the disaggregated setup. These bounded issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

## Verify

Run import checks on an AMD64 host with an NVIDIA driver:

```bash
docker run --rm --gpus all --entrypoint python3 "${AXK2_IMAGE}" -c \
"import dynamo.vllm; from vllm.transformers_utils.configs.axk2 import AXK2Config; print(AXK2Config.model_type)"
```

The command must print `axk2`. A complete verification still requires starting
the aggregated recipe on a 4-GPU B200 node.

Align the verification section with the checks it claims to perform.

The README requires verification of Dynamo imports, NIXL, parser registration, and model execution. The documented command checks only dynamo.vllm and AXK2Config.model_type; it does not show checks for NIXL or parser registration. Add explicit checks, or narrow the stated validation scope.

Add an explicit storageClassName placeholder.

This claim requests ReadWriteMany. No storageClassName is set, so the cluster default StorageClass is used. Many default classes provision only ReadWriteOnce volumes, and the claim then stays Pending. The download Job and all three deployments block on that claim. The sibling recipe recipes/kimi-k2.6/model-cache/model-cache.yaml sets an explicit placeholder for this reason.

The first worker startup compiles model kernels and can take up to 90 minutes.
`VLLM_CACHE_ROOT`, `TRITON_CACHE_DIR`, and `FLASHINFER_WORKSPACE_BASE` point
into `shared-model-cache` so subsequent workers can reuse the generated

Parameterize the deployment name in the Deploy and Smoke Test commands.

The document sets RECIPE=vllm/disagg-b200 for disaggregated serving at Line 73, but Lines 86 and 100 hardcode axk2-vllm-agg-b200. A reader who follows the disaggregated path gets an empty pod list and a missing service, because the disaggregated deployment is named axk2-vllm-disagg-b200.

Configure KV event publishing on the decode worker. dynamo.vllm does not derive --kv-events-config; without it, the decode worker creates no KV event relay, so the router cannot track its cached blocks. Add a matching --kv-events-config with enable_kv_cache_events:true.

In `@recipes/a.x-k2/vllm/disagg-b200/deploy.yaml` around lines 183 - 199, The
dynamo.vllm decode-worker command lacks KV event publishing configuration. Add a
--kv-events-config argument alongside the existing --kv-transfer-config,
configured with enable_kv_cache_events set to true, so the router can track
cached blocks.
