+ * to `flash_api.cpp` making it easier to synchronize with upstream changes.

+ * The `pytorch_library_compatible_type` struct is used to map from the
+ * flash_attn ops types to a PyTorch library compatible one. The main issues is
+ * that the following types are not support by PyTorch library bindings:
+ *  - `int`
+ *  - `float`
+ *  - `std::optional<T> &`
+ *  - `std::optional<const at::Tensor> &`

+[SPEED-Bench](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/SPEED-Bench) is a unified and diverse dataset for speculative decoding, supporting acceptance rate and length measurements using the Qualitative split and throughput measurements using the Throughput splits in 5 configuration of input sequence length (1k, 2k, 8k, 16k, 32k).
+
+!!! note
+    This dataset is governed by the [NVIDIA Evaluation Dataset License Agreement](https://huggingface.co/datasets/nvidia/SPEED-Bench/blob/main/License.pdf). For each dataset a user elects to use, the user is responsible for checking if the dataset license is fit for the intended purpose. The `prepare.py` script automatically fetches data from all the source datasets.
+
+First, download the dataset to a folder, using this one liner:
+
+```bash
+curl -LsSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA-NeMo/Skills/refs/heads/main/nemo_skills/dataset/speed-bench/prepare.py \| python3 -
+```
+
+The command supports also the following arguments:
+
+- `--config`: download only a subset of the dataset: `qualitative`, `throughput_1k`, `throughput_2k`, `throughput_8k`, `throughput_16k` and `throughput_32k`. By default, it will download all subsets.
+- `--output_dir`: download to a specified folder. By default, it will download to the current directory.
+
+Start a server with speculative decoding:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct \
+    --speculative-config $'{"method": "eagle3",
+    "num_speculative_tokens": 3,
+    "model": "nvidia/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-Eagle3"}'
+```
+
+Run all categories in the Qualitative split:
+
+```bash
+vllm bench serve \
+    --model meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct \
+    --dataset-name speed_bench \
+    --dataset-path "<YOUR_DOWNLOADED_PATH>/data/speed_bench" \
+    --num-prompts -1
+```
+
+Available categories include `[writing, roleplay, reasoning, math, coding, stem, humanities, multilingual, summarization, qa, rag]`.
+
+Run only a specific category like "multilingual":
+
+```bash
+vllm bench serve \
+    --model meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct \
+    --dataset-name speed_bench \
+    --dataset-path "<YOUR_DOWNLOADED_PATH>/data/speed_bench" \
+    --num-prompts -1
+    --speed-bench-category "multilingual"
+```
+
+Run all categories in the Throughput split (2k ISL):
+
+```bash
+vllm bench serve \
+    --model meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct \
+    --dataset-name speed_bench \
+    --speed-bench-dataset-subset throughput_2k
+    --dataset-path "<YOUR_DOWNLOADED_PATH>/data/speed_bench/" \
+    --num-prompts -1
+```
+
+Available categories include `[high_entropy, mixed, low_entropy]`, where high entropy data contains unstructued data such as creative writing while low entropy data contains more structured data such as coding, more details are in the dataset card.

+### Video inference support (experimental)
+
+Following <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/35963> (ViT full CUDA graph support for image inference), <https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm/pull/38061> extends the encoder CUDA graph framework to support video inference for Qwen3-VL. Previously, the CUDA graph capture/replay path only handled image inputs (`pixel_values` + `image_grid_thw`). Video inputs use different keys (`pixel_values_videos` + `video_grid_thw`) and require larger `cu_seqlens` buffers because each video item contributes multiple frames (`T` attention sequences). This PR generalizes the protocol and manager to handle both modalities through a single shared graph manager.
+
+!!! note
+    Video CUDA graphs are automatically disabled when EVS (Efficient Video Sampling) pruning is enabled, since EVS makes the token count data-dependent and incompatible with CUDA graph capture.
+
+    Currently, we only support image-only or video-only inputs when enabling CUDA graph, mixed inputs (image + video) are not supported yet (we will work on it in the near future). Thus, it's recommended to turn off the image modality by `--limit-mm-per-prompt '{"image": 0}'` for video-only inputs.

+# Online Quantization
+
+Online quantization lets you take a BF16/FP16 model and quantize its Linear
+and MoE weights to lower precision (such as FP8) at load time, without needing
+a pre-quantized checkpoint or calibration data. Weights are converted during
+model loading and activations are dynamically scaled during each forward pass.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Pass a scheme name to the `quantization` parameter:
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+
+# Per-tensor FP8 quantization (one scale per weight tensor)
+llm = LLM("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B", quantization="fp8_per_tensor")
+
+# Per-block FP8 quantization (128x128 block scaling for weights and 1x128 block scaling for activations)
+llm = LLM("meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B", quantization="fp8_per_block")
+```
+
+Or with the CLI:
+
+```bash
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B --quantization fp8_per_tensor
+vllm serve meta-llama/Llama-3.1-8B --quantization fp8_per_block
+```
+
+## Supported Schemes
+
+| Scheme | Weight recipe | Activation recipe | Notes |
+| ------ | ------------- | ------------------ | ----- |
+| `fp8_per_tensor` | fp8_e4m3 data, fp32 per-tensor scale | fp8_e4m3 data, fp32 per-tensor scale | On some GPUs (Ada, Hopper) linear activations use per-token scaling for better performance |
+| `fp8_per_block` | fp8_e4m3 data, fp32 per-128x128-block scale | fp8_e4m3 data, fp32 per-1x128-block scale | |
+
+Support for additional schemes will be added in future versions of vllm.
+
+## Advanced Configuration
+
+For fine-grained control, use a `quantization_config` dictionary.
+
+### Separate Schemes for Dense and MoE Layers
+
+You can apply different quantization schemes to dense linear layers and MoE expert layers:
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+
+llm = LLM(
+    "ibm-granite/granite-3.0-1b-a400m-base",
+    quantization="fp8_per_tensor",
+    quantization_config={
+        "linear_scheme_override": "fp8_per_block",
+    },
+)
+```
+
+Or,
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+
+llm = LLM(
+    "ibm-granite/granite-3.0-1b-a400m-base",
+    quantization="fp8_per_tensor",
+    quantization_config={
+        "moe_scheme_override": "fp8_per_block",
+    },
+)
+```
+
+### Excluding Layers from Quantization
+
+Use the `ignore` parameter to skip specific layers. It accepts exact layer names and regex patterns (prefixed with `re:`):
+
+```python
+from vllm import LLM
+
+llm = LLM(
+    "ibm-granite/granite-3.0-1b-a400m-base",
+    quantization="fp8_per_tensor",
+    quantization_config={
+        "ignore": [
+            # exact layer name
+            "model.layers.1.self_attn.o_proj",
+            # regex: skip all QKV projections
+            "re:.*[qkv]_proj",
+        ],
+    },
+)
+```
+
+!!! note
+    For fused layers (e.g., `qkv_proj` which fuses `q_proj`, `k_proj`, `v_proj`), the ignore pattern must match the **unfused** shard names (`q_proj`, `k_proj`, `v_proj`), not the fused name.

-### Score API

-#### Score Template
-
-Some scoring models require a specific prompt format to work correctly. You can specify a custom score template using the `--chat-template` parameter (see [Chat Template](#chat-template)).
-
-Score templates are supported for **cross-encoder** models only. If you are using an **embedding** model for scoring, vLLM does not apply a score template.
-
-Like chat templates, the score template receives a `messages` list. For scoring, each message has a `role` attribute—either `"query"` or `"document"`. For the usual kind of point-wise cross-encoder, you can expect exactly two messages: one query and one document. To access the query and document content, use Jinja's `selectattr` filter:
-
-- **Query**: `{{ (messages | selectattr("role", "eq", "query") | first).content }}`
-- **Document**: `{{ (messages | selectattr("role", "eq", "document") | first).content }}`
-
-This approach is more robust than index-based access (`messages[0]`, `messages[1]`) because it selects messages by their semantic role. It also avoids assumptions about message ordering if additional message types are added to `messages` in the future.
-
-Example template file: [examples/pooling/score/template/nemotron-rerank.jinja](../../examples/pooling/score/template/nemotron-rerank.jinja)
-
 ### Generative Scoring API
 
 The `/generative_scoring` endpoint uses a CausalLM model (e.g., Llama, Qwen, Mistral) to compute the probability of specified token IDs appearing as the next token. Each item (document) is concatenated with the query to form a prompt, and the model predicts how likely each label token is as the next token after that prompt. This lets you score items against a query — for example, asking "Is this the capital of France?" and scoring each city by how likely the model is to answer "Yes".
 
-This endpoint is automatically available when the server is started with a generative model (task `"generate"`). It is separate from the pooling-based [Score API](#score-api), which uses cross-encoder, bi-encoder, or late-interaction models.
