Summary

Adds full multimodal modeling for Mistral-Medium-3.5-128B (Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration): a dense GQA text decoder mapped onto the LLAMA op graph, plus the Pixtral vision encoder (ViT + SwiGLU FFN + 3-GEMM multimodal projector).

Data half is #1603 (Pixtral head_dim=104 encoder-attention cases + h200 rows). This PR works standalone for text-only serving on every backend; image evaluation lights up on vLLM/SGLang once #1603's data is on main.

Changes (aic-core SDK)

  • common.py: new MISTRAL3 family + arch mapping; text_config flatten entry; gated_mlp flag on VisionEncoderConfig; model added to DefaultHFModels (and thus the default support matrix — text serving is viable on all backends).
  • utils.py: parse the Pixtral vision_config into a VisionEncoderConfig, capturing the top-level spatial_merge_size before the text_config flatten drops it (raises if absent), and modeling the 3-GEMM projector (patch-merger → linear_1 → linear_2).
  • blocks/vit.py: emit the SwiGLU gate projection (encoder_gate_gemm) when gated_mlp is set; unchanged for plain (Qwen3-VL) ViT FFNs.
  • models/mistral3.py: Mistral3Model(LLAMAModel) attaching the encoder ops (+ legacy compat shim).
  • Bundled the HF config for offline loading; unit tests; import-contract entry.

Notes

  • TensorRT-LLM vision is unsupported: no FMHA kernel for head_dim=104 (verified on H200). Text serving on trtllm is fine; the trtllm image path is classified unsupported via the absence of head_dim=104 data. The default support-matrix workload is text-only, so matrix membership is safe.
  • FP8-static text GEMMs inferred from the checkpoint; ViT runs bf16 (matching modules_to_not_convert).

Explanation

The description clearly explains the Mistral-Medium-3.5 multimodal support, implementation details, limitations, and validation results. It omits the template's explicit “Where should the reviewer start?” and “Related Issues” sections, but the required technical context is otherwise mostly complete.

55-57: 🎯 Functional Correctness

Keep this backend-neutral.

Mistral3Model correctly builds encoder operations without a backend branch. BaseBackend runs them only for image workloads, while the generator explicitly renders TensorRT-LLM multimodal EPD artifacts. Text-only workers skip encoder execution.

Reviewer note — the red checks here are pre-existing / repo-wide, not caused by this PR.

  • Cargo Denycargo install cargo-deny@0.19.0 fails building the transitive tinyvec crate under the runner's Rust toolchain (vec! macro shadowed by use alloc::vec::{self, Vec}), so the linter never builds. It's red on every fresh PR. Fixed by ci: install prebuilt cargo-deny instead of compiling from source #1605 (installs a pinned prebuilt cargo-deny binary) — that PR passes its own Cargo Deny check.
  • Build and Test (unit)test_power_data_invariants::test_power_columns_satisfy_energy_model_input_contract fails on b200 trtllm parquets with NaN/non-positive power_limit (moe, gemm, attention, …). Already red on main (2026-09-02 run). This PR's h200 data uses the no-power encoder schema and passes check_collector_data, so it's unrelated.
  • Rust/Python engine-step parity — stale energy goldens ([trtllm] context_attention / context_ar_1 energy is now non-zero after recent power-data additions). Also already red on main. This PR touches no Rust, energy data, or goldens.

Everything this PR is responsible for is green (Ruff, DCO, copyright, codeowners, check-collector-data, parquet-diff, wheels, py3.11–3.13). The board should clear once #1605 and the main-side unit/parity fixes land and CI re-runs.

Map Mistral3ForConditionalGeneration to a new MISTRAL3 family: a dense GQA
text decoder on the LLAMA op graph plus a Pixtral vision encoder.

- common.py: register MISTRAL3 family, architecture mapping, text_config
  flatten, and a gated_mlp flag on VisionEncoderConfig.
- utils.py: parse the Pixtral vision_config into a VisionEncoderConfig,
  capturing the top-level spatial_merge_size before the text_config flatten
  and modeling the 3-GEMM multimodal projector.
- blocks/vit.py: emit the SwiGLU gate projection (encoder_gate_gemm) when
  gated_mlp is set; unchanged for plain (Qwen3-VL) ViT FFNs.
- models/mistral3.py: Mistral3Model(LLAMAModel) attaching the encoder ops.
- Bundle the HF config for offline loading; add unit tests.

Kept out of the default support matrix (RetiredSupportMatrixHFModels) because
the Pixtral encoder (head_dim=104) has no collected encoder-attention perf
data yet, so image-bearing evaluation is a deterministic unsupported path.
Text-only estimation works today; the multimodal ops light up once the
head_dim=104 encoder-attention data is collected.
