vllm-omni-npu-model-runner-upgrade

To upgrade vllm-omni NPU model runners, port OmniNPUModelRunner, NPUARModelRunner, and NPUGenerationModelRunner to the latest vllm-ascend interface using a structured upgrade workflow that preserves omni-specific logic.

Preserving KV transfer hooks during the vllm-ascend port involves enforcing Omni-new markers and cross-checking GPU changes to ensure multimodal outputs and hooks remain intact across Ascend NPUs.

Yes, ACLGraphWrapper integration is updated for Omni models like Qwen3-Omni, Bagel, and MiMo-Audio on Ascend NPUs, ensuring forward context updates and talker MTP handling maintain production-grade compatibility.

The best way to validate NPU model runner upgrades is by enforcing Omni-new markers, cross-checking with GPU changes, and running type checks and imports to ensure safe porting and production-grade compatibility.

Yes, the vllm-ascend upgrade workflow supports multimodal outputs for Qwen3-Omni by preserving omni-specific logic during forward context updates and KV transfer hooks integration.

NPUARModelRunner failures after updating to the latest vllm-ascend codebase typically occur because omni-specific logic requires structured porting with Omni-new markers to align ACLGraphWrapper usage and forward context updates.
