Fused GPU kernel for top-k and top-p sampling from pre-softmax logits,

this operator implements GPU-based rejection sampling without explicit sorting. Check the blog post for more details.

The multiple rounds of rejection sampling are implemented in a single CUDA kernel, which is more efficient than the naive implementation that launches a series of kernels.

Parameters:

logits (torch.Tensor) – Pre-softmax logits for sampling. When indices is not provided, shape should be (batch_size, num_classes) and the i-th output will be sampled from the i-th row of logits. When indices is provided, shape should be (unique_batch_size, num_classes) where unique_batch_size is the number of unique probability distributions.
top_k (Union[torch.Tensor, int]) – Either a scalar or a tensor of shape (batch_size,), representing the threshold for top-k sampling. If a scalar, the same threshold is used for all requests. If a tensor, each request has its own threshold.
top_p (Union[torch.Tensor, float]) – Either a scalar or a tensor of shape (batch_size,), representing the threshold for top-p sampling. If a scalar, the same threshold is used for all requests. If a tensor, each request has its own threshold.
indices (Optional[torch.Tensor]) – Optional indices tensor of shape (batch_size,) that maps each output to a row in probs. For example, if indices[i] = j, then the i-th output will be sampled from probs[j]. This allows reusing the same probability distribution for multiple outputs. If indices is not provided, the i-th output will be sampled from the i-th row of probs.
filter_apply_order (str) – The order of applying top-k and top-p sampling, should be either "top_k_first" or "joint". If "top_k_first", we first apply top-k filter, then apply top-p sampling on the top-k results. If "joint", we apply top-k and top-p filter simultaneously in each round. Default is "top_k_first".
deterministic (bool) – Whether to use deterministic kernel implementation, default is True.
generator (Optional[torch.Generator]) – A random number generator for the operation.
check_nan (bool) – Whether to check nan in probs, default is False.

Returns:

samples – Sampled categories, shape (batch_size,).

Return type:

torch.Tensor
