Background

DINOv3 had runtime coverage but no public task-Accuracy qualification and incomplete release Perf equivalence coverage. The previous one-image repository fixture measured representation parity, not task Accuracy.

Exit Criteria

  • Both official DINOv3 profiles select the complete public Beans weighted k-NN Accuracy workload and release extract-features Perf coverage.
  • Accuracy evaluates all 128 official test images against independently built reference and candidate feature banks.
  • The one-image fixture is not counted as model-check Accuracy coverage.
  • Candidate/reference provenance and numeric output-equivalence gates remain explicit.
  • Shared validation and benchmark plumbing remains model-agnostic and does not impose DINOv3-only metric or output behavior on other models.
  • The public trtmc extract-features CLI remains unchanged.

Implementation

  • Add deterministic preparation for the pinned MIT Beans dataset, including manifest-relative assets and a SHA-256 manifest.
  • Add model-owned weighted k-NN reference, candidate runner, aggregation, task metrics, and gates for ViT-S/16 and ConvNeXt-Tiny.
  • Keep batch feature-bank construction behind the internal benchmark-worker request interface. The worker loads one bundle, preserves image order, and exports pooler rows as a compact row-major float32 artifact; the public CLI remains single-image.
  • Add release Perf entries with aligned task-model-call timing and model-specific output-equivalence thresholds. Tensor reductions are excluded from the timed reference invocation.
  • Keep the shared gate layer generic with convention-based exact_, min_, and max_ gates plus explicit per-gate evidence-count sources. DINOv3-specific 20-NN derived metrics remain in the model comparator.
  • Serialize full feature tensors from the benchmark worker only when a Perf request explicitly opts in; other profiles retain their compact output summaries.
  • Remove the standalone dinov3_image_feature_extraction_parity model-check suite; the underlying single-image DINOv3 feature-extraction E2E coverage remains available.
  • No ABI, public CLI, bundle-format, dependency, or migration change is required.

Hardware, Environment, and Revisions

  • Target execution used one NVIDIA DRIVE P2021 GPU with Linux 6.17, Python 3.12.3, CUDA 13.0, TensorRT 10.16.1.11, and driver 595.58.03.
  • Accuracy and Perf used FP16 TRTMC bundles and FP16 Hugging Face references. Perf used task-model-call-wall timing.

  • Validated code commit: 5060b8503bdb4520bd1f573991f9109ad1ff0c55.

Not Run / Remaining Gaps

  • The full repository test suite was not run; validation covered the 722 affected Python/static tests, focused C++ builds/tests, lint/format checks, catalog selection, target qualification, and evidence gates above.
  • Other DINOv3 variants and other target environments were not qualified by this change.

Notes For Future Readers

  • The 1,034 Beans train images form a frozen weighted k-NN feature bank; this does not train or fine-tune DINOv3.
  • Review the catalog and bindings first, then the model-owned k-NN implementation, followed by the internal worker artifact interface and generic Perf/report plumbing.
  • Batch extraction is intentionally internal model-check mechanics. Do not reintroduce batch-list or output-projection flags into the public CLI for this workload.

Risk level

  • Low
  • Medium
  • High

Medium risk: this adds a model-agnostic internal worker request/artifact path and generic evidence-count support while keeping the public CLI, ABI, bundle format, and other models' default benchmark output unchanged.

    • DINOv3 evaluation now includes classification accuracy, prediction agreement, and feature-quality gates.
    • Improved gate handling for task-specific sample counts and aggregate metrics.

Walkthrough

DINOv3 validation now supports full feature parity checks and Beans weighted k-NN accuracy tasks. Batch feature extraction uses benchmark-worker float32 artifacts. Validation gates support task-specific sample counts. Qwen3 and ACT workloads were added.

Changes

DINOv3 validation and benchmark expansion

Layer / File(s) Summary
Complete feature parity
benchmarks/performance/baselines/task_reference.py, tools/perf_matrix.py, tools/performance/catalog.py, benchmarks/performance/release.yaml, tests/tools/*
DINOv3 probes now emit hidden-state and pooler values after timing. The performance matrix validates shapes, cosine similarity, and relative Frobenius error.
Beans preparation and k-NN primitives
tests/e2e/models/dinov3/e2e_plugins/knn.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/prepare_beans_knn.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/test_knn_task.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/test_prepare_beans_knn.py
The PR adds verified Beans dataset preparation, manifest validation, feature normalization, weighted k-NN prediction, serialization, and tests.
Worker-based batch extraction
examples/trtmc_benchmark_worker.cpp, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/e2e_plugins/runner.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/test_dinov3_e2e_static.py
The worker writes float32 pooler artifacts for batch requests. The runner validates request results and loads the artifacts for k-NN processing.
k-NN execution and comparison
tests/e2e/models/dinov3/e2e_plugins/reference.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/e2e_plugins/comparator.py, tests/e2e/models/dinov3/test_task_accuracy.py, tests/validation/workloads.yaml, tests/validation/model_workloads.yaml
Reference and candidate paths extract pooled features, compute weighted k-NN predictions, compare query outputs, and aggregate accuracy and feature-parity gates.
Gate sample-count policy
tools/validation/gate_policy.py, tools/validation/engine.py, tools/validation/gate_census.py, tools/trtmc_validate.py, tests/tools/test_validation_gate_policy.py, tests/tools/test_trtmc_validate.py, tests/tools/test_validation_engine.py
Exact gates and per-gate sample-count mappings now flow through policy description, evaluation, census grouping, and public results.
Release and validation catalog updates
benchmarks/performance/release.yaml, tests/validation/workloads.yaml, tests/validation/model_workloads.yaml, tests/tools/*
The catalog adds Qwen3 and ACT workloads, updates DINOv3 assignments, and adjusts release and model coverage counts.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5060b

The new DINOv3 qualification path is functional, but malformed or empty prediction results may still crash validation rather than report a controlled failure, and workload manifest mistakes may escape suite loading checks. These issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Import the k values from the k-NN module.

_KNN_K_VALUES duplicates K_VALUES in tests/e2e/models/dinov3/e2e_plugins/knn.py. The runners record predictions for K_VALUES, and aggregate requires metrics for _KNN_K_VALUES.

Persist the full stderr for the batch extraction failure.

The single-image path calls save_full_stderr and appends the log path to the error detail. This batch path keeps only the last 2000 characters and discards the rest. A bank run processes over a thousand images, so the truncated tail often hides the first real error. artifact_dir is already a parameter here.

Validate data before the NumPy conversion.

np.asarray runs before the shape and type checks below. If the CLI omits data, np.asarray(None, dtype=np.float32) raises TypeError, and the {path}:{line_number}: invalid pooler_output message never appears. If the row is ragged, the conversion raises without the file and line context. Move the conversion after a list check so every malformed row reports its location.

Assert the replacement suite, not only the removal.

This test verifies the model-aligned vision suites for MoGe, Imagenette, ADE20K, and COCO. The DINOv3 coverage now only asserts the old suite id is gone. Nothing checks that dinov3_beans_knn_task_accuracy loads with its dataset kind, task metric, gates, and default models, so a typo in tests/validation/workloads.yaml would pass this test.

Resolve relative image entries from the image-list directory.

The code passes a relative image_path directly to read_image. It therefore resolves relative to the process working directory.

The Beans flow uses manifest-relative assets. A valid image list fails when the command starts outside the image-list directory. Keep record["image_path"] as the original entry, but load a path resolved against std::filesystem::path(args.images_file).parent_path(). Preserve absolute entries unchanged. Add a regression test that changes the working directory.

Catch TypeError in the prediction loop.

_prediction_vector calls np.asarray(predictions.get(str(k)), dtype=np.int64). If a payload omits one of the four k keys, predictions.get returns None and NumPy raises TypeError, not ValueError. This handler catches only ValueError, so the exception escapes compare and aborts the harness instead of producing an ERROR result. The payload-validation block at Line 287 already catches both types.

Guard aggregate against an empty case list.

missing_cases is empty when cases is empty, so execution reaches these reductions. min() and max() over an empty generator raise ValueError, so aggregate crashes instead of reporting a gate failure. An empty case list occurs when no shard produced metrics. Return an explicit failure first.

Honor the selected reference profile for k-NN. Dinov3Reference._run_knn_stage() loads torch and transformers in the harness process, while ctx.reference_python_path() is only recorded in metadata. If execution_profiles.reference selects another interpreter, the features can use different library versions than the declared reference profile. Run k-NN in that interpreter or reject non-base reference profiles.

Catch TypeError in the k-NN prediction handler.

When a malformed k-NN StageOutput omits a required key, _prediction_vector passes None to np.asarray(..., dtype=np.int64), which raises TypeError. _compare_knn catches only ValueError, so direct callers receive an exception instead of StageStatus.ERROR. Catch TypeError with ValueError. The orchestrator already converts comparator exceptions to ERROR, so this does not abort the harness.
