1. Why PseudoBrain-Qwen3-Coder-Next Exists

In standard Transformer serving, model weights are paid once, while KV cache memory grows linearly ($O(L)$) and prefill compute grows quadratically ($O(L^2)$) — forcing long-context (128K–1,000,000 token) workloads to OOM even when the GPU easily fits the model weights.

PseudoBrain-Qwen3-Coder-Next-FP8 (PB27Qwen3NextForCausalLM) solves this via the PseudoBrain architecture:

1. Hybrid Windowed-Attention + Parallel Gated DeltaNet (GDN): 48 layers: 36 native Gated DeltaNet + 12 full-attention layers ([3, 7, 11, ..., 47]) converted into 16K SWA + Parallel Gated DeltaNet + Quest Exact Memory. Recurrent GDN state is $O(1)$ fixed size regardless of whether context is 4K or 1,000,000 tokens.
2. Three-Tier NVMe/Page-Cache Quest Exact Memory (piece_attention): On the sparse anchor layers, queries attend over [4 StreamingLLM Sinks + Super-Block Landmarks + Top-k Quest Exact-Memory Pages + 16,384 Sliding Window] via FlashAttention-2 LSE-merge (pb27_vllm/memory.py) with 2-Level Hierarchical bf16 Quest Super-Block Bounds (PB27_MEMORY_SUPERBLOCK=64).
3. Piecewise-Proportional, Strictly Non-Overlapping Block RoPE (_reposition_rope_blocks): Enforces a mandatory 64-token footprint per retrieved block plus proportional historical-gap scaling ($T(b_j) = P_{ ext{start}} + j \cdot B + ext{round}(rac{G_{ ext{cum},j}}{G_{ ext{tot}}} S_{ ext{slack}})$) — preserving exact +1 local continuity across contiguous block runs, strictly preventing phase overlap between nearby non-adjacent blocks, and maintaining 99%+ proportional macro-timeline distance fidelity at 1M tokens without static YaRN degradation.
4. Dense Global Aggregation (PB27_MEMORY_GLOBAL_AGG="auto"): Automatically detects high-participation-ratio global queries (_detect_global_agg) and activates (a) Resident Super-Block Summary Landmarks (smean_k, smean_v, 1 summary token per 4,096 tokens in GPU HBM), (b) Stratified Super-Block Timeline Coverage, and (c) Novelty-Rotating Decode Working-Set Sweeps (visit_counts) so multi-step reasoning sweeps across hundreds of distinct blocks over 1M tokens.
5. True $O(1)$ Constant-Speed Decode & Version-Resilient vLLM Plugin: Decouples the scaled prefill retrieval budget from the constant decode budget (PB27_MEMORY_DECODE_STRIDE=64, PB27_MEMORY_DECODE_BLOCKS=64), cutting 1M-token KV cache memory by 93.5% (~48.0 GB → ~3.1 GB), with dual vLLM V1/V2 runner support and a zero-hook ForwardContext fallback.

2. Two-Command Quickstart (vLLM on NVIDIA CUDA & AMD ROCm)

Option A: Install Plugin Directly into Existing vLLM Environment (2 Commands)

# 1. Install the universal PseudoBrain vLLM V1 plugin (auto-registers via vllm.general_plugins)
pip install --no-deps "git+https://github.com/defnotean/pseudobrain.git#subdirectory=serving/pb27_vllm"

# 2. Launch 1,000,000-token OpenAI-compatible server
VLLM_ALLOW_LONG_MAX_MODEL_LEN=1 vllm serve defnoteatin/PseudoBrain-Qwen3-Coder-Next-FP8 \
  --served-model-name pb27 \
  --max-model-len 1048576 \
  --enforce-eager \
  --no-enable-prefix-caching \
  --kv-cache-memory-bytes 6G \
  --max-num-seqs 16 \
  --enable-auto-tool-choice \
  --tool-call-parser qwen3_coder

(Note: Every Hugging Face checkpoint also bundles pb27_vllm_plugin/ directly inside the repository if you prefer pip install --no-deps -e ./pb27_vllm_plugin from a local snapshot download.)

Option B: One-Command Docker Launch (serve.sh — Auto-Detects x86_64 & aarch64)

git clone https://github.com/defnotean/pseudobrain.git
cd pseudobrain
bash serving/pb27_vllm/serve.sh defnoteatin/PseudoBrain-Qwen3-Coder-Next-FP8 pb27 8000

Option C: Connect OpenCode / Agentic Coding Harnesses (~/.config/opencode/opencode.jsonc)
