Companion review PR for hao-ai-lab/FastVideo#1788.

Summary

  • Route wide-row affine MiniMax H3 MLX linears through mx.dequantize plus dense BF16 GEMM when the measured crossover applies.
  • Keep stored INT4/INT6/INT8 weights quantized and avoid caching dequantized matrices.
  • Keep shared FastWan and Wan 2.2 linears on mx.quantized_matmul. H3 opts into the new dispatch explicitly.
  • Rebase the branch onto merged upstream [perf] Add MiniMax H3 MLX VSA and SIMD attention hao-ai-lab/FastVideo#1776.

Validation

  • 63 focused affine dispatch, H3 parity, VSA, and fast-mode tests passed on MLX 0.31.2.
  • The same 63 tests passed on MLX 0.32.2.
  • Changed-file pre-commit hooks pass.
  • Both MLX CI lanes include the affine dispatch suite.
  • GitHub reports the upstream PR as mergeable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The MLX runtime adds configurable affine dequantized GEMM dispatch for eligible quantized linear operations. Telemetry and one-time logging report engagement. Tests cover numerical parity, thresholds, fallbacks, bias, batching, and environment controls. Local benchmark artifacts are ignored.

Changes

Affine dequantized GEMM

Layer / File(s) Summary
Runtime dispatch and configuration
fastvideo/mlx_runtime/fastwan.py
The runtime parses FASTVIDEO_MLX_DQ_GEMM, tracks dispatch engagement, and uses dequantization plus transposed GEMM for eligible affine quantized inputs. Other cases use quantized_matmul.
Dispatch validation
fastvideo/tests/mlx/test_mlx_affine_dq_gemm.py
Tests validate numerical parity, bias, batched inputs, thresholds, telemetry, disabled dispatch, default settings, and non-affine fallback behavior.

Benchmark artifact exclusions

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local benchmark artifact exclusion
.gitignore
The repository ignores .kernel_bench/ benchmark outputs.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 77ef3

The change improves wide affine MLX linear performance while preserving the tested numerical behavior; only routine formatting cleanup remains, with no actionable merge-blocking risk.

Opened upstream as hao-ai-lab#1788 (base main, depends on hao-ai-lab#1776). GitHub cannot stack onto aryan/minimax-h3-mlx-vsa-perf because that branch exists only on the fork.

MLX quantized_matmul is slower than dequantize plus steel GEMM at H3's packed token width. Keep stored INT6 weights and use a measured M=768 floor without caching dequantized matrices.
