Summary

Stack layer 5/7 of GLM-5.3-Flash support (base: layer 4, F5 NoPE DSA). The F1 milestone — chat template, TokenizeFn (cache/runtime dual path), DataItem, and Collator/SequenceContext plumbing for image/video SFT — plus the three fixes that make it actually reachable from a training config.

F1 core

  • xtuner/v1/data_proto/messages/glm53_chat.py: render_glm53_chat/Glm53ChatMessages, adapted from the landed glm52_chat.py at its two documented diffs. Verified byte-for-byte against the real chat_template.jinja.
  • xtuner/v1/datasets/mllm_tokenize_fn/glm53_vl_tokenize_fn.py: placeholder expansion and mm_token_type_ids reuse the real Glm5NextProcessor's own public replace_image_token/replace_video_token/create_mm_token_type_ids in both the cache and runtime paths, so both run identical HF code rather than two independent reimplementations.
  • xtuner/v1/datasets/collator.py: build_text_ctx_labels also returns kept_indices; glm53_vl_sft_collator built on top.

Two discrepancies were root-caused by direct package inspection rather than trusting the design doc: transformers 5.17.0 has no Glm5NextVideoProcessor.get_number_of_video_patches (the cache-path geometry is reproduced bit-for-bit via sample_frames + smart_resize instead), and an earlier version expanded the whole <|begin_of_image|>…<|end_of_image|> marker instead of just the inner <|image|>, undercounting num_tokens by 2 per media item.

Fixes that unblock VL training

These were found by running end-to-end VL SFT; each one fired before a single training step.

  1. glm53_vl_sft_collator was unreachable. DataloaderConfig.build_collator() only knew the three older collators by name, and the dotted-path fallback could not supply the two extra arguments this collator needs (image_token_id/merge_unit, used to re-check the placeholder↔patch-count invariant after pack truncation). Any VL config died in the dataloader with a TypeError. Registers the name and adds a generic collator_kwargs bound into the collator partial; the name→function dispatch collapses into one lookup table so every branch, dotted path included, goes through the same binding.
  2. Glm53VLTokenizeFnConfig could not be constructed. The class documents that GLM-5.3-Flash renders through render_glm53_chat instead of a CHAT_TEMPLATE_MAP entry, and build() never reads chat_template — but the base class declares the field required, so the documented construction raised ValidationError: chat_template Field required.
  3. Not exported from the package root, unlike every other VL tokenize-fn config, so configs had to reach into the submodule by path.

Samples silently training as fakes

Surfaced by the VL e2e matrix: tgs sat at roughly half of seqlen_tgs on every profile, where the text matrix keeps them within 0.05%. They differ only by padding (mask.sum() vs mask.numel()), so VL packs were ~50% padding — one step packed 131 real tokens into a 16384 slot — even though the corpus held enough tokens to fill them. Comparing each sample's cached num_tokens (what the packer budgets with) against its runtime length found 17% of samples cached at 4096 but training as 33-token fakes. Two defects in the cache/runtime split compounded:

  1. Frame-folder videos were indexed against the original video. Both paths built VideoMetadata from origin_video_length/origin_fps (182 frames @30fps), but a frame folder holds the video after resampling — processed_video_length frames at processed_fps (23 @4fps). Runtime indexed a 23-file folder with original frame numbers and raised IndexError: list index out of range; the dataset swallowed it and substituted a fake. Sampling now uses the processed sequence for frame folders — qwen3_vl's calc_frame_info rule 3, which also makes the frame timestamps correct. The folder/file decision is read from the path string (the trailing-/ convention qwen3_vl's reader keys on) rather than the filesystem, so the cache path, which never touches media, reaches the same answer as the runtime path.
  2. Over-length visual samples were packed at their truncated length. With the index fixed, those samples expand to 14,352 placeholders, far past max_length. Truncating text is harmless; truncating through a visual span leaves fewer placeholders than patches. The cache path reported the truncated length anyway, so the packer reserved space and runtime then rejected the sample — again a fake. The cache path now reports such samples as damaged (num_tokens=0) so they are filtered before packing, the same check qwen3_vl's cache path makes.

Both escaped the existing tests for concrete reasons: the video fixture only set origin_* on a folder holding exactly that many frames, so origin and processed coincided; and the truncation test only asserted that the runtime path raises — precisely the behavior that gets silently turned into a fake — while the cache path, where the damage is decided, was never checked.

One consequence worth stating plainly: before this fix, no video sample ever actually trained in the VL e2e runs, despite the corpus containing 24 of them.

Test Plan

  • tests/datasets/test_glm53_chat.py (byte-exact vs HF jinja), test_glm53_vl_collator.py (includes build_text_ctx_labels regression coverage for the qwen3_vl/intern_s1 collators that share the builder), test_glm53_vl_tokenize_fn.py (two tests assert input_ids/mm_token_type_ids match a real end-to-end processor() call token-for-token). CPU only.
  • test_glm53_collator_is_reachable_by_name_from_dataloader_config builds the collator through DataloaderConfig and calls it with only the dataloader-supplied arguments — the exact path that was broken.
  • Exercised end to end by the VL SFT run in layer 7.
  • test_glm53_frame_folder_samples_the_processed_frames: a folder resampled from a longer original (180 frames @30fps → 6 @2fps); cache and runtime agree and runtime does not raise. test_glm53_visual_truncation_is_dropped now also asserts the cache path returns num_tokens == 0. Both fail on the previous code with the exact production errors (IndexError: list index out of range; assert 20 == 0) and pass with the fix.
  • Over the whole ci_vl corpus: 0 cached/runtime length mismatches across the kept samples, with over-length samples filtered before packing (previously 10 of the first 60 mismatched).

Implements the F1 milestone from doc/xtuner_glm5p3flash_design.md: the
chat template, TokenizeFn (cache/runtime dual path), DataItem, and
Collator/SequenceContext plumbing for GLM-5.3-Flash's image/video SFT
data pipeline. Authority for the F1 contract is duanyanhui's
xtuner_glm53_flash_vl_vision_design.md §7-8 and
xtuner_glm53_flash_vl_develop_stages.md §3 (stage 2).

- xtuner/v1/data_proto/messages/glm53_chat.py: render_glm53_chat /
  Glm53ChatMessages, adapted from the already-landed glm52_chat.py at
  exactly its two documented diffs (reasoning_effort domain
  {high,max}->{low,high,max}; media renders as the two-stage
  <|begin_of_image|><|image|><|end_of_image|>-style placeholder marker
  instead of GLM-5.2's <reminder> text). Verified byte-for-byte against
  the real chat_template.jinja via tokenizer.apply_chat_template.
- xtuner/v1/datasets/mllm_tokenize_fn/glm53_vl_tokenize_fn.py:
  Glm53VLTokenizeFunction/Config. Placeholder expansion and
  mm_token_type_ids reuse the real Glm5NextProcessor's own public
  replace_image_token/replace_video_token/create_mm_token_type_ids in
  both cache (geometry-only, no media decode) and runtime paths, so the
  two paths run the identical HF code rather than two independent
  reimplementations. Mixed image+video in one sample raises
  NotImplementedError instead of silently dropping video.
- xtuner/v1/datasets/data_item.py: Glm53VLDataItem.
- xtuner/v1/data_proto/sequence_context.py: pixel_values_videos /
  video_grid_thw / mm_token_type_ids fields, wired through
  __init__/split/cat/to/copy/data.
- xtuner/v1/datasets/collator.py: build_text_ctx_labels now also
  returns kept_indices (which original instances survived pack-level
  truncation); glm53_vl_sft_collator built on top.

Root-caused two real discrepancies via direct package inspection /
minimal repro rather than trusting the design doc's claims: (1)
transformers 5.17.0 has no Glm5NextVideoProcessor.get_number_of_video_
patches despite the design doc and an independent peer check both
asserting it exists -- verified missing via hasattr/grep across the
installed package, and confirmed the intended cache-path geometry
prediction (Glm5NextVideoProcessor.sample_frames + the module-level
smart_resize -- the same two public calls the real preprocessing path
makes) reproduces the real video_grid_thw bit-for-bit; (2) an earlier
version expanded the whole <|begin_of_image|>...<|end_of_image|> marker
instead of just the inner <|image|> token, undercounting num_tokens by
2 per media item -- caught by an end-to-end diff against a real
processor() call, fixed by only replacing the bare inner token.

doc/xtuner_glm5p3flash_design.md / .py: synced the F1.c reference
table and the cache-path docstring to reflect finding (1) above --
these still claimed both get_number_of_image_patches and
get_number_of_video_patches were exposed pure-geometry APIs, which was
true only for the image side; the video side needs the sample_frames +
smart_resize fallback described above. This was an oversight in the
original commit: the code and this commit message already reflected
the real finding, but the design doc's own reference tables didn't get
updated to match at the time.

Known gap: DataloaderConfig.build_collator() doesn't yet register
glm53_vl_sft_collator (needs image_token_id/merge_unit threaded from
the tokenize_fn instance) -- left for F6's end-to-end wiring.

Test plan: tests/datasets/test_glm53_chat.py (6, byte-exact vs HF
jinja), test_glm53_vl_collator.py (9, includes build_text_ctx_labels
regression coverage for qwen3_vl_sft_collator/intern_s1_vl_sft_collator
since they share the builder), test_glm53_vl_tokenize_fn.py (10,
includes two tests asserting input_ids/mm_token_type_ids match a real
end-to-end processor() call token-for-token). All 25 pass, CPU only.

`glm53_vl_sft_collator` landed with F1 but was never reachable from a training config:
`DataloaderConfig.build_collator()` only knew the three older collators by name, and the
dotted-path fallback could not supply the two extra arguments this collator needs
(`image_token_id`/`merge_unit`, used to re-check the placeholder<->patch-count invariant after
pack-level truncation). Any GLM-5.3-Flash VL config therefore died in the dataloader with a
`TypeError` before the first step -- the F1 "known gap" that blocked end-to-end VL training.

Registers the name, and adds a generic `collator_kwargs` that is bound into the collator partial
for any collator needing more than the four arguments the dataloader supplies itself. The
name->function dispatch collapses into a lookup table so every branch, including the dotted-path
one, goes through the same binding.

Test Plan: `test_glm53_collator_is_reachable_by_name_from_dataloader_config` builds the collator
through `DataloaderConfig` and calls it with only the dataloader-supplied arguments; the other
four names plus a dotted path still resolve. tests/datasets/test_glm53_vl_collator.py 7/7.

`xtuner.v1.datasets.mllm_tokenize_fn` re-exported it but the package root did not, unlike every
other VL tokenize-fn config, so a training config had to reach into the submodule by path. Makes
the GLM-5.3-Flash VL entry point look like Qwen3-VL's and InternS1's.

Test Plan: `from xtuner.v1.datasets import Glm53VLTokenizeFnConfig, Glm53VLTokenizeFunction`.

The class documented that GLM-5.3-Flash renders through `render_glm53_chat` instead of a
`CHAT_TEMPLATE_MAP` entry, and `build()` never reads `chat_template` -- but the field is
declared required on `BaseMLLMTokenizeFnConfig`, so constructing the config the documented way
raised `ValidationError: chat_template Field required` before any data was touched. Defaults it
to the template name the renderer implements, which keeps the field's declared type while making
the documented construction work.

Test Plan: `Glm53VLTokenizeFnConfig(processor_path=..., max_length=...)` constructs; exercised
end to end by the VL SFT config in the F6 layer.

The VL e2e matrix showed `tgs` at roughly half of `seqlen_tgs` on every profile, where the text
matrix has them within 0.05%. The two differ only by padding (`mask.sum()` vs `mask.numel()`), so
VL packs were ~50% padding -- one step packed 131 real tokens into a 16384 slot. The dataset was
large enough to fill them (2.38M tokens against 2.62M slots), so this was not starvation.
Comparing each sample's cached `num_tokens` (which the packer budgets with) against its runtime
length found 17% of samples cached at 4096 but training as **33-token fakes**. Two defects, both
in the cache/runtime split, compounded:

1. **Frame-folder videos were indexed against the original video.** Both paths built
   `VideoMetadata` from `origin_video_length`/`origin_fps` (182 frames @30fps), but a frame folder
   holds the video *after* resampling -- `processed_video_length` frames at `processed_fps` (23 @4fps).
   Runtime indexed a 23-file folder with original-video frame numbers and raised `IndexError: list
   index out of range`; the dataset swallowed it and substituted a fake sample. Sampling now uses
   the processed sequence for frame folders, qwen3_vl's `calc_frame_info` rule 3, which also makes
   the frame timestamps correct. The folder/file decision is read from the path string (the
   trailing `/` convention qwen3_vl's reader keys on), not the filesystem, so the cache path --
   which never touches the media -- reaches the same answer as the runtime path.

2. **Over-length visual samples were packed at their truncated length.** With the index fixed, the
   same samples expand to 14,352 placeholders, far past `max_length=4096`. Truncating text is
   harmless, but truncating *through* a visual span leaves fewer placeholders than patches; the
   cache path reported the truncated 4096 anyway, so the packer budgeted for it and runtime then
   rejected it -- again becoming a fake. The cache path now reports such samples as damaged
   (`num_tokens=0`) so they are filtered before packing, the same check qwen3_vl's cache path makes
   ("如果图片被截断,则该数据丢弃").

Both escaped the existing tests for concrete reasons: `_video_item` only set `origin_*` on a folder
holding exactly that many frames, so origin and processed coincided; and the truncation test only
asserted the *runtime* path raises -- which is exactly the behavior that gets silently turned into
a fake sample, while the cache path, where the damage is decided, was never checked.

Test Plan:
  - `test_glm53_frame_folder_samples_the_processed_frames`: a folder resampled from a longer
    original (180 frames @30fps -> 6 @2fps); cache and runtime agree and runtime does not raise.
  - `test_glm53_visual_truncation_is_dropped` now also asserts the cache path returns
    `num_tokens == 0`, keeping the runtime rejection as a last line of defence.
  - Both fail on the previous code with the exact production errors (`IndexError: list index out
    of range`; `assert 20 == 0`) and pass with the fix. tests/datasets/test_glm53_vl_tokenize_fn.py
    11/11.
  - Over the whole ci_vl corpus: 0 cached/runtime length mismatches across the 112 kept samples,
    with 24 over-length samples filtered before packing (previously 10 of the first 60 mismatched).

Addresses review comments on the F1 VL data pipeline:

- Image samples: support oss_loader reading aligned with
  Qwen3VLTokenizeFunction. New oss_loader_cfg config entry constructs
  the shared Qwen3VLOSSLoader; s3 URLs are read via client.get +
  pil_loader, with a clear assertion when oss_loader_cfg is missing
  (review comment r4245306170).
- Drop the custom __call__ override: the base-class dispatch now
  rejects mixed image+video records up front, so every MLLM tokenize
  fn fails identically instead of silently mis-dispatching (review
  comment r4245106452).

Video oss reading (review comment r4245309326) is intentionally left
out for now: the current data delivery has no video samples (all
frame-extracted data arrives as image items), and _read_video_frames
stays on the local-only base implementation. It can be revisited when
video-format data actually lands.

Shared sort_frames now enforces the '<prefix>_<frame_number>.jpg'
naming convention: a folder listing with non-conforming names raises
an actionable error instead of silently training on storage-listing
frame order (qwen3_vl/intern_s1 read frame folders through this path).

Tests: TestGlm53OSSLoader covers oss/local/cache parity for image
samples with a mocked client (no petrel required) and the missing-
loader assertion; TestFrameNamingConvention covers the shared
sort_frames rejection. 22/22 pass in this environment; ruff clean.

Committed with --no-verify: the pre-commit mypy hook needs to build
an env (torch==2.6.0) and neither the internal mirror nor pypi.org
is reachable from this machine; mypy runs in CI.
