Launch build/test pipelines. All previously running jobs will be killed.

--reuse-test (optional)pipeline-id (OPTIONAL) : Allow the new pipeline to reuse build artifacts and skip successful test stages from a specified pipeline or the last pipeline if no pipeline-id is indicated. If the Git commit ID has changed, this option will be always ignored. The DEFAULT behavior of the bot is to reuse build artifacts and successful test results from the last pipeline.

--disable-reuse-test (OPTIONAL) : Explicitly prevent the pipeline from reusing build artifacts and skipping successful test stages from a previous pipeline. Ensure that all builds and tests are run regardless of previous successes.

--disable-fail-fast (OPTIONAL) : Disable fail fast on build/tests/infra failures.

--skip-test (OPTIONAL) : Skip all test stages, but still run build stages, package stages and sanity check stages. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

--detailed-log (OPTIONAL) : Enable flushing out all logs to the Jenkins console. This will significantly increase the log volume and may slow down the job.

--debug (OPTIONAL) : Experimental feature. Enable access to the CI container for debugging purpose. Note: Specify exactly one stage in the stage-list parameter to access the appropriate container environment. Note: Does NOT update GitHub check status.

1546-1546: Add documentation explanation for the new kv_cache_config parameter.

The stream_interval update to 10 aligns well with the parallel changes in llama4/README.md. However, the new kv_cache_config block with dtype: fp8 lacks an explanation in the "Explanation" section below. Users should understand what this parameter does and why FP8 is chosen.

Add a brief explanation for the new kv_cache_config parameter in the explanation section at lines 1554–1559 (after the existing explanations for stream_interval and cuda_graph_config):

 Explanation:
 - `stream_interval`: The iteration interval to create responses under the streaming mode.
 - `cuda_graph_config`: CUDA Graph config.
   - `max_batch_size`: Max CUDA graph batch size to capture.
   - `enable_padding`: Whether to enable CUDA graph padding.
+- `kv_cache_config`: KV cache configuration.
+  - `dtype`: Data type for KV cache. Using `fp8` reduces memory footprint while maintaining performance.

Also applies to: 1550-1551

Timestamp: 2025-08-27T17:50:13.264Z
Learning: For PR templates in TensorRT-LLM, avoid suggesting changes that would increase developer overhead, such as converting plain bullets to mandatory checkboxes. The team prefers guidance-style bullets that don't require explicit interaction to reduce friction in the PR creation process.

File: cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.cpp:0-0
Timestamp: 2025-08-14T21:04:50.248Z
Learning: In KV cache onboarding logic during prefill in cpp/tensorrt_llm/batch_manager/kvCacheManager.cpp, when calculating which blocks fall within the attention window, use getTokensPerBlock() to advance token indices rather than block->getUniqueTokens().size(), because the calculation needs to consider the post-prefill state where blocks will be filled to capacity, not their current token count.

Learning: In tensorrt_llm/_torch/pyexecutor/_util.py, when calling model_engine.set_lora_model_config(), pass model_binding_config.mlp_hidden_size directly without multiplying by mapping.tp_size, as the mlp_hidden_size from get_bindings_model_config() is already the per-TP rank value needed for LoRA weight packaging.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM testing, it's common to have both CLI flow tests (test_cli_flow.py) and PyTorch API tests (test_llm_api_pytorch.py) for the same model. These serve different purposes: CLI flow tests validate the traditional command-line workflow, while PyTorch API tests validate the newer LLM API backend. Both are legitimate and should coexist.

Timestamp: 2025-09-09T09:40:45.658Z
Learning: In TensorRT-LLM test lists, it's common and intentional for the same test to appear in multiple test list files when they serve different purposes (e.g., llm_function_core.txt for comprehensive core functionality testing and llm_function_core_sanity.txt for quick sanity checks). This duplication allows tests to be run in different testing contexts.

Timestamp: 2025-09-23T15:12:38.312Z
Learning: In TensorRT-LLM NCCL device implementation, NCCL version 2.28+ requirements are handled at runtime in the nccl_device/config layer rather than with compile-time guards. This allows the allreduceOp to remain version-agnostic and delegates version compatibility validation to the appropriate lower-level components that can gracefully handle unsupported configurations.

Learning: In TensorRT-LLM's attention backend, tensor parameters in the plan() method are assigned directly without validation (dtype, device, contiguity checks). This maintains consistency across all tensor inputs and follows the pattern of trusting callers to provide correctly formatted tensors.

30-30: Consistent parameter tuning across all B200 configurations.

The stream_interval updates from 2 to 10 across the three performance scenarios (Max-throughput, Min-latency, Balanced) are consistent and well-placed. The parameter's purpose is already documented in the corresponding explanation sections.

However, note that the companion examples/models/core/llama/README.md adds a new kv_cache_config block with FP8 dtype for LLaMa-3.3 70B, but this addition does not appear in the Llama4 README. Verify whether kv_cache_config should also be added to these B200 configurations for alignment.

Line 1585 shows --max-concurrency 1024 in the benchmark command. Confirm this is intentional and not a unintended line-break change. If this was previously on a different line or had a different value, document the rationale for the change.
