Add EXAONE 4.0 model support for DeepSpeed inference v2

notkisk · notkisk · commit 0f7375e1ee96 · 2025-07-29T01:27:13.000Z
Implements comprehensive support for EXAONE 4.0 models (32B and 1.2B variants) in DeepSpeed's inference v2 framework.

Key features:
- Hybrid attention mechanism with 3:1 sliding window to full attention ratio
- QK-Reorder-Norm support for custom normalization ordering
- Conditional RoPE application (skipped for global attention layers)
- Grouped Query Attention (40 query heads, 8 key-value heads)
- Full compatibility with ZeRO optimization stages
- Parameter mapping between HuggingFace and DeepSpeed formats

Implementation includes:
- ExaoneTransformerContainer and ExaoneNonTransformerContainer for parameter management
- ExaoneInferenceModel with layer type detection and hybrid attention logic
- ExaonePolicy for model instantiation and container orchestration
- Comprehensive unit test suite with 14 test cases
- Integration with existing DeepSpeed inference v2 architecture

Validated with EXAONE-4.0-32B and EXAONE-4.0-1.2B models from HuggingFace.
