initialize()

classmethod initialize(pipeline_config, model_config=None)

A Gemma3ForConditionalGenerationConfig instance with fields initialized from config.

Return type:

Self

initialize_from_config()

classmethod initialize_from_config(pipeline_config, huggingface_config)

source

Initializes a Gemma3ForConditionalGenerationConfig from pipeline and HuggingFace configs.

This method creates a config instance with all fields that can be determined from the pipeline and HuggingFace configurations, without needing the state_dict. Fields that depend on the state_dict should be set via the finalize() method.

Parameters:

  • pipeline_config (PipelineConfig) – The MAX Engine pipeline configuration.
  • huggingface_config (AutoConfig) – HuggingFace model configuration.

Returns:

A Gemma3ForConditionalGenerationConfig instance ready for finalization.

Return type:

Self

mm_tokens_per_image: int

source

The number of tokens per image embedding

num_key_value_heads

num_key_value_heads: int = 4

source

This is the number of key_value heads that should be used to implement Grouped Query Attention. If num_key_value_heads=num_attention_heads, the model will use Multi Head Attention (MHA), if num_key_value_heads=1 the model will use Multi Query Attention (MQA) otherwise GQA is used. When converting a multi-head checkpoint to a GQA checkpoint, each group key and value head should be constructed”

text_config: Gemma3Config

source

The config object of the text backbone

tie_word_embeddings

tie_word_embeddings: bool

source

Whether to tie weight embeddings. When true, the output linear layer uses the same weight as the embedding layer.

vision_config: Gemma3VisionConfig

source

Custom vision config or dict

class max.pipelines.architectures.gemma3multimodal_modulev3.Gemma3MultiModalModelV3(pipeline_config, session, devices, kv_cache_config, weights, adapter=None, return_logits=ReturnLogits.LAST_TOKEN)

source

Bases: PipelineModelWithKVCache[TextAndVisionContext]

Gemma 3 multimodal pipeline model using the ModuleV3 API.

Parameters:

calculate_max_seq_len()

classmethod calculate_max_seq_len(pipeline_config, huggingface_config)

source

Calculates the optimal max sequence length for the model.

Models are expected to implement this method. The following example shows how to implement it for a Mistral model:

class MistralModel(PipelineModel):
    @classmethod
    def calculate_max_seq_len(cls, pipeline_config, huggingface_config) -> int:
        try:
            return upper_bounded_default(
                upper_bound=huggingface_config.max_seq_len,
                default=pipeline_config.model.max_length,
            )
        except ValueError as e:
            raise ValueError(
                "Unable to infer max_length for Mistral, the provided "
                f"max_length ({pipeline_config.model.max_length}) exceeds the "
                f"model's max_seq_len ({huggingface_config.max_seq_len})."
            ) from e

Parameters:

  • pipeline_config (PipelineConfig) – Configuration for the pipeline.
  • huggingface_config (AutoConfig) – Hugging Face model configuration.

Returns:

The maximum sequence length to use.

Return type:

int

estimate_activation_memory()

classmethod estimate_activation_memory(pipeline_config, huggingface_config)

source

Estimates the activation memory required for model execution.

This accounts for temporary memory buffers used during model execution, such as intermediate activations and working buffers.

The default implementation returns 0 for backward compatibility. Models with significant activation memory requirements should override this method to provide accurate estimates.

Parameters:

  • pipeline_config (PipelineConfig) – Pipeline configuration
  • huggingface_config (AutoConfig) – Hugging Face model configuration

Returns:

Estimated activation memory in bytes

Return type:

int

execute()

execute(model_inputs)

source

Executes the graph with the given inputs.

Parameters:

model_inputs (ModelInputs) – The model inputs to execute, containing tensors and any other required data for model execution.

Returns:

ModelOutputs containing the pipeline’s output tensors.

Return type:

ModelOutputs

This is an abstract method that must be implemented by concrete PipelineModels to define their specific execution logic.

get_kv_params()

classmethod get_kv_params(huggingface_config, pipeline_config, devices, kv_cache_config, cache_dtype)

source

Returns the KV cache params for the pipeline model.

Parameters:

Return type:

KVCacheParams

get_num_layers()

classmethod get_num_layers(huggingface_config)

source

Parameters:

huggingface_config (AutoConfig)

Return type:

int

language_model

language_model: Callable[..., Any]

source

prepare_initial_token_inputs()

prepare_initial_token_inputs(replica_batches, kv_cache_inputs=None, return_n_logits=1)

source

Prepares the initial inputs to be passed to execute().

The inputs and functionality can vary per model. For example, model inputs could include encoded tensors, unique IDs per tensor when using a KV cache manager, and kv_cache_inputs (or None if the model does not use KV cache). This method typically batches encoded tensors, claims a KV cache slot if needed, and returns the inputs and caches.

Parameters:

Return type:

ModelInputs

prepare_next_token_inputs()

prepare_next_token_inputs(next_tokens, prev_model_inputs)

source

Prepares the secondary inputs to be passed to execute().

While prepare_initial_token_inputs is responsible for managing the initial inputs. This function is responsible for updating the inputs, for each step in a multi-step execution pattern.

Parameters:

Return type:

ModelInputs

vision_model

vision_model: Callable[..., Any]
